19, Irish, drummer. Avid musician. I'm a thinker, I'm reserved, and I often find ways to dislike people. I dislike people who claim to have more intelligence than they do. I'm a hypocrite in many ways. I guess I'm human, really.

Nearly at 200 followers. Honestly, I didn't think I'd even get over 20. If I could thank you all individually I would, but this will have to suffice.
