ABOUT ME

i can be pretty blunt and i always speak my mind. at first, some may find its hard to be friends with me but when you come to appreciate me you can completely be yourself and not hold anything back. im pretty funny and laid back. i dont really drink. andddd i like being outside and talking about crazy things _jeremy

I am observant and usually like to be polite/gracious. I name my pets the same name. My mom taught me how to clean, and my friends would say I put butter on most things.
