    Seems like a cool idea, I'll join in.

    As the title implies, my name is Jared and I am a 21 year old management trainee at a pizza restaurant in my small hometown in northern California. I have lived here since I was five and pretty much plan on continuing to live here for the foreseeable future. I have lived with my parents my whole life, and am incredibly lucky to have them. I also have a younger brother (by six years) that I tend to mention a lot. He and I get along fantastically well. Sometimes it surprises me haha!

    I tend to be fairly single minded. If I have something I want to say, do, or think, I will insist on doing so or wait for a good opportunity to do so all day long. I will re-ignite a conversation that ended four hours ago because I had something I wanted to add but I couldn't interject but my addition seemed funny/relevant/insightful/poignant etc. This can cause conversations by my mother (who is the same way) and I to last days, each thinking something several hours later and continuing on and on and on.

    Most of you know that I am gay. I am out to my immediate family, and by that I mean the family that lives in the same town as me. Most of my coworkers know and they are totally awesome about it. Most of them are older than me and they keep trying to help me "come out of my shell" and join their bar hopping scene. I went to a bar with them once. It was loud and weird and they were all drunk. Kinda funny but not my thing I guess. Although if I was actually liquored up, maybe I might think differently...xD

    I love my job. Like, a lot. Well, ever since our new manager came in at least. I go in an hour before I am scheduled every day just because I like it and I want to help them out, and it is easier to complete tasks with the extra time. They think I am crazy. Maybe I am.

    Anyways, I am all for the questions. Ask away! And ask anything you want. I dunno necessarily what my boundaries are and the only way to find out is for you guys to push them! You can ask my sex life (HA) my opinion on cheese, or whether or not the Sharks have what it takes to win the Stanley Cup. Have at it!

    Well I have a few reasons actually. First, I don't really have much of an online presence under my full name, so you probably can't find much. Just an article about my graduation, and the picture it refers to isn't even me haha. Second, I don't particularly think anyone could find me with my name out there. Third, I trust you guys, really. I mean, I have no reason to, but I do anyways. I am fairly illogical I guess. xD

    I used to be super careful, especially when I was younger. I didn't want to worry my parents, and I feared predators and such, but as I grew older I realized I can take care of myself and I think I am savvy enough to recognize danger. I haven't had to yet though so who knows.

    Pffft if you knew me you'd know that's not true. :P

    BBQ Chicken with extra bbq sauce, bbq chicken, cheddar cheese, and bacon. If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die with taste bud orgasms.

    Yes I would! Although living at home with my parents is a slight turn off.

    Ok this is a hard question, every time i am asked it. Sentimentally speaking, Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman is one of my favorites because my grandfather and I listened to it often. For more modern music, Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz is one of the first songs I heard when I got my own radio and I loved it instantly. My favorite song that I m currently listening to is this Charleston remix I found through reddit. I have been listening non stop for the past couple weeks. *-*

    Ummmmmmmmmmmm according to my younger bro, yes I have punched him for real. Does that count? I mean, brothers hit each other it's a thing, right? I dunno.
     
    Pffft, you're just humble naow. How would you describe yourself in three words, then?

    ermagerd that sounds lovely. I get an urge to order pizza now ;; What's the nastiest pizza you know? Or have tasted?:p

    Haha I can imagine xD I never got a proper partner until I moved into a place of my own tbh.

    Sounds like good songs! I can listen to songs on repeat forever sometimes xD And the song gets stuck in my head and just won't go away but it's okay because it's just that great.

    I dunno either, I've hit my brother as well xD hehehe.

    What's your favorite pokémon? ;p and why.
     
    Do you play any Video Games?

    What is your favorite movie?

    Is there a place you always wanted to go, but couldn't for whatever reason?
     
    How would you describe yourself in three words, then?
    Consciously, carefully giving. I try really hard to be a selfless person. Doesn't always work, but I try at least.

    What's the nastiest pizza you know? Or have tasted?
    Ok, i never tasted this one, but somebody once called in wanting extra onions on their large combo...lots and lots and lots of extra onions. They specifically wanted it to be covered in onions. So when the tag printed out, what was normal 1 ounce of onions was 13. ಠ_ಠ It looked and smelt godawful. That was an odd request.

    As for pizza I have tasted, our Chicken Garlic pizza is supposed to come on white sauce, but when I order one for dinner once, whoever made it messed up and used red sauce. Kinda ruined it for me. :\ It wasn't terribly horrendously bad, but I did kinda have to force my way through it. xD

    What's your favorite pokémon? ;p and why.
    Typhlosion! Gen II was the first game I could choose my own starter (I started with Yellow) and I had always wanted to choose Charmander so when I got Silver I chose Cyndaquil since he was fire type. Ever since then (and especially after his acquisition of Eruption >:D) I have loved him. :D

    Do you play any Video Games?
    Yes I do! Lots of them, from Zelda to Mario to Donkey Kong to Final Fantasy to Terraria...yeah, I do haha!

    What is your favorite movie?
    Sentimentally speaking (again) I love the old War of the Worlds, the one with Gene Barry and Ann Robinson. Again. watched that with my grandfather over and over and over again/ I can remember dialogue and sound effects just by typing this out. :)

    Is there a place you always wanted to go, but couldn't for whatever reason?
    Lots of places; Egypt to see the Pyramids, Japan to see the big cities, Ireland just because haha. But lack of funds, attachment to my family and job and such keep me from going...right now at least. ;)
