G'Day Mate!!~ The Introduction thread

Alrighty....since being one of the first posters for this new welcome thread people have expanded the categories. So, instead of simply adding bits and pieces in random order I'll just repost my info as it's updated. I guess this means since the welcome thread is gone and replaced with this my official greeter duties will now commence here. To those who posted here but never did in the other welcome thread welcome to ANN (I'm sure that's very belated but better late then never). To all the new people sure to come, I've got mystery grab bags just waiting to be given a home.

Name: Sean Patrick Michael Francis Tugwell (long huh)
Sex: Male
Location: South of Annapolis, Maryland (USA)
Marital Status: Not married but in a relationship with an awesome chick
Age: 24...25 in less then a month
Ethnicity: About 60% Irish and 40% Scottish. There is some English in there but we don't acknowledge it because it wasn't voluntary. Do some research of Irish history to figure that one out. Someone also got into the Navajo it seems.
Blood Type: I am O+ and I donate at least once a year, usually twice.
Appearance: I'm 6'1 with dark reddish blond hair and bright blue eyes that turn an ice blue in winter. I'm built like an oaf/viking...that would be the Celtic heritage. I also wear contacts as I'm blind as a bat.
Pets: 1 dog and 2 cats. I have a black lab/chesepeake retriever mix, a grey and white domestic short hair, and a solid black long hair domestic/persian mix. I want to get a ball python.
Religion: Roman Catholic... I don't go to church that much anymore as I really think organized religion as an institution is just crap. Too much "you have to do this" instead of "you should do this" speeches anymore. Simply put, I believe there is a higher power but our actions, not who we love or how often we go to church, determine are final reward/punishment.
Drink/Smoke: I drink all the time, I'm Irish and Scottish what do you expect? Not an alcoholic though, just like to drink my liquor. Lots of people love soda, I love liquor. Don't smoke cigs but sometimes an occasional cigar.
Likes: Anime duh lol. I also like drinking, bowling, shooting pool, watching movies, sweeping a woman off her feet, collecting all sorts of junk (I'm a packrat), going to concerts, hanging with friends, making money, and my number one thing to do is cook. I also like people to be open and honest with me as I'm dense and don't get hints well.
Dislikes: Arrogant people, back stabbing cheating women, alcoholics (the kind that drink and treat others like crap), watered down liquor, the fixation we have on celebrities, any sort of bigot or racist, animal abusers, bugs (god I can't stand bugs), and people who needlessly waste food

Favorite nonalcoholic drink: Tea. I am a tea fanatic. I love all kinds of tea and have a very nice/expensive teapot for brewing my own tea.

I'm also a Star Wars junkie and would love to one day learn Gaelic. I also plan to travel to a new spot around the world every 3 years once I turn 27. I wanna see the world (or what's left of it at that point).

edit--- God almighty I am a sucker for punishment. Alright, people asked and they shall received. Just don't blame me when your eyes burn out of their sockets and your head explodes from the horror! Me
