My full name is Elijah Paul Canup. I’m 16 as of Oct. 15^th. I’m 5’9” and pretty athletic. I thought I’d try to cover most of who I am because I’m tired of being in relationships where they make me out to be someone I’m not. I don’t smoke, although I do occasionally drink, but I don’t overdo it. You could never classify me under one social group; I’m all over the place. I’m in the outdoors a lot. Whether it’s biking, rock climbing, backpacking, hunting, snowboarding, or whatever. I love watersports and snowsports.  I’m into basically most kinds of rock (grunge/classic/metal/etc) Relationship wise I’m the kind of guy who wants love, not just a sexpartner. Don’t be afraid to love me. You can trust me. I won’t take it further than you’re comfortable with. I won’t act any different just because I’m with my friends while I’m with you.  I’ll give you the attention you ask for, but I’ll give you space when you want it, because I know I might need it too.lol. I know when to be serious, but you can’t have a true relationship without humor and occasional teasing. ;D. Sometimes I have trouble making the first move, but I will if I notice you’re waiting on it. I’m a Christian, and if you can’t accept it then you can’t accept me.  I’m sure if I think of anything else, I’ll add it on here, but for the mean time…you can figure the rest out on your own. Get to know me…

       myself. wow, ok most of you that know me know more about myself than i do. Truth is im really not sure where i am right now. I know God will show me my purpose in life some day, but sometimes i wish it would  come sooner than it is being. but i do owe a whole lot of what i've become to my friends for keeping me straight, and from getting myself into situations i shouldn't be in. which brings up another subject:friends-

      friends. luckily for me, i became accepted by the kind of social group i wish all people could experience and be a part of. i know many people aren't as fortunate as me in the fact that they dont get accepted for who they are, but what they do. its sad really, because once you realize what you've done, and who've you turned to for friendship for all the wrong reasons, you've realized that really...you have nothing, and you've gained nothing. yet lost all too many opportunities to be great in the world.

      music. my favorite sounds are classic rock, some metal, indie, and folk. Ozzy, Alice In Chains Nirvana, The Police, the snake the cross the crown, Iron Maiden, and ESPECIALLY Dave Matthews, are some of my favorite bands.  i do not listen to any rap or anything like Jonas brothers, miley, or watever you people listen to. Dont try to get me to listen to it either.

      fun. my favorite things to do are snowboarding, skiing (both water and snow), backpacking, hackysack, hunting, fishing, etc. but overall my absolute favorite thing to do is barefoot waterskiing. (po-people skiing) haha. 

well this brings me to the end. i hope this gave you an opportunity to get to know me better, and i hope to also get to know you better. just talk to me. i'll reply. i hope you'd comment this too, it'd let me get a better idea of you also. ttyl
