Introduction to me in Table of Contents

Josh/Fries: Hey! That's me. How to sum up one's personality in a paragraph. I am a 32 year old college educated man from St. Louis Missouri. I have lived here for 6 years and am ready to move somewhere else. My city time line: Jackson, Missouri to Corning, Arkansas to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I moved a lot as a child, so being nomadic is in my blood.

I have a degree in Family Studies which an emphasis Gerontology from Southeast Missouri State University. I have never really used my degree, and I couldn't really tell you what kind of job I qualify for with it. Sad, isn't it? I am currently working on my Master's in Management and Leadership. I finish with that in May 2014. Hopefully It will open up new job opportunities where I can make some bank to start paying off all these Student Loans.

I'm single, but I have an odd arrangement. I have a long term roommate, Amanda, who I have lived with for 4 years. As long as I am in St. Louis, I will live with her. More about her in the cast of characters section.

I have a weight issue. I grew up obese, and continued that trend until 2008. I did a huge lifestyle change and lost 106 pounds. In November 2012, I had a knee injury and packed 50 pounds back on. I am currently working on loosing that weight. I struggle to make good choices because Im an emotional eater. And a bored eater. And a grazer. And... I'm a foodie. I am also addicted to Diet Mountain Dew. (which is totally my mom's fault.)

I am gay. Meh, don't really an paragraph for that one. :P

I have an awesome 8 year old cat named Giovanni who I got when he was 6 years old. We are kinda of codependent on each other... which is sad. But I am ok with that. He is the coolest fat cat around.

Hobbies:

-Reading (genres: YA lit, Utopian lit, Gay Romantic novels, fiction, supernatural type themes: aka vampires, witches, werewolves, and zombies.) I really enjoy reading, always have. You can find me on goodreads.com as Joshfries - I like music( favorite band: Heart) and can jam out to pretty much anything besides Rap and screaming. But give me musical to belt to and you will find me a happy camper. -Movies. -Working out/running- I enjoy spending time at the gym, just need to fall back in love with it as I used to be. - Knitting- I am a bad knitter and can pretty much only make a scarf. I would like to learn to crochet. - TV- I like really bad reality TV. Survivor, Ru Pauls Drag Race, Under the Gunn. Other than that I only watch: The Tomorrow People and American Horror Story.

So, there you go. An Introduction to me. I feel like there is more about me, but this is a good starting point.
