intro to andrew

i realize i never use the bio for actual info about myself (on my main library), so for those of you new to my world, here's an intro.
My name is Andrew Steven Adams (although, i can be known as many a thing, most commonly i'm just plain ol andrew.) i was born in february of 86, so that makes me 17. i guess i'm one of the youngest poets on this site. kinda ironic that i'm also one of the most prolific, too. in case this whole library isnt evidence enough, i'm a literophile. i just write down basically anything and everything that strikes my mind as an intriguing thought. some things run into better poems, some things run into better essays. some things just run into a wall attempting to be either. there are so many things to share about me, so, we'll start with music- because that is for me, as i feel should be for all people, a major cornerstone of my life. It is just everything to me- and i dont discriminate against listening to any type of music (although i certainly relate to certain genres better than others). I try not to judge anything without listening to it myself. but, on the same note, i hardly ever buy a cd where i've heard anything off of it previously. it makes for an interesting music collection, and somewhat diverse. I'm currently kind of an emo-kid, if you will. but, labels are shit- i dont like to use them. and really, i am not all that emo- rether, i fel that this whole subgenre popped up and stole everything that i was. that's okay. yes, some of the lyrics are whiney and generic. yes, most of the singers arent all that vocally endowed. but sometimes, and most of the time recently, it's what i can relate to better than anything else.
i'm a suburban kid living in an urban setting. i live near uptown minneapolis- the cultural center of the city. but i go to edina schools, a posh suburb where good charlotte fans go around calling themselves punk. hey, it happens. i dont want to say that i'm lucky to go there (everyone is so fake- even the 'not fake' people are), but going to one of the few public schools that isnt in a massive budget crisis does afford me some pretty good luxuries. but, i'm thinking that i really dont need that shit, so i'm probably going to transfer out of edina next year. I'm a sophomore- i'm a year older than everyone in my grade- i had some learning disabilities when i was younger, so i started out a year late.
anyways, that's a little background of my schooling shit. sorry if this seems extremely sporadic- i'm on adderall right now, and i'm just writing whatever comes to my mind.
As far as my views on shit go, i'm very very liberal- like this war, it's shit. i could go on for quite a long time about how most world leaders have the IQ equvilant to that of a peanut. but hey, we live in a fucked society- money is the bottom line, and control of oil means money for the guy in the oval office. so i completely understand his 'fuck you, i won the presidency on a techinicality with my crooked brother's help so i dont have to give a fuck about how you feel' attitude. i am all for animal rights, human rights- i'm against the death penalty, and i think that our governmental system alltogether sucks.
a little more about me, for you people who have even read thus far... okay. lets see, i'm bisexual- and currently single. i just got dumped last week, and i have an 'on-again-off-again' type of relationship with my ex (a different one) girlfriend, cheryl. i'm somewhat of a slut, but whatever. my bestest friend in the whole world is *caitlin. i only met her a couple of months ago- but still, she's just so different from all of the edina bs i hafta deal with. i could go into the one-in-a-million chance of how i first met her, but long story short, her asshole ex-boyfriend (who happens to be one of the first friends i ever had) took her to homecoming at our school- and at the time, they were going out, but now their relationship is, um, sour. so, the irony is that i met my best friend through someone who has lost basically all of my respect. but i dont know what life would be like without her.
wow, there's me going off on a tangent again. um, i love movies. i spend too much time and money on watching and going to see them. my favorite movie, alltime, is fight club. just watch it, and you'll see why- it's so fucking crazy, and basically, tyler durden is my god.
one last thing before i go and leave this as a fairly good intro to me... i love to do digitally created art. it's just my passion and my second outlet next to writing. check out my website and see what i mean... i'm also an avid photographer and web designer.
okay, i think it's safe to say that's good. um, la de da, with a skip and a hop, i'm gone. andy
