Joshiee, 33

Hey, my name is Joshua, I am going to be 18 on July 4th, and I live in San Diego, California. I just graduated from high school and I am going to attend SFSU in August / moving to San Francisco to to get my BS in Zoology (I plan on becoming a veterinarian after I graduate). I consider myself very reserved and somewhat hard to get close to, part of which is my own fault because I keep myself at a distance from people I am unsure about / people who I do not know well enough, to protect myself? I am very good at keeping friends & relationships yet very bad at initiating new ones. As of now I am beginning to break down this "debilitating wall" and becoming a new person, all because of the realization that I have to take what I want and pursue it, never expecting things to just fall into place by themselves. In other words I need to take that one chance and take charge of what I want.........to get what I want, just as easy as that. I have been a vegetarian for almost 3 years and would prefer to have a relationship with someone who also shares the same ethical beliefs as myself. oh yeah...and i'm left handed
