Garrett Kelly considers himself a lucky guy in every way. "Good things just happen to me," Kelly says. He plays a lot of sports, but doesn't practice much. Among his favorites are basketball and ping-pong.
When looking for that special someone he says he wants an intelligent person and "someone who will make fun of me."
Five to 10 years from now he pictures himself at an ad agency while performing improv and standup comedy on the weekends. His definitive trait is being able to make fun of himself.
Sitting at his desk chair, Kelly hunches forward casually, resting his elbows on his knees. His smile is soft and genuine as heponds. Straightening back up, he imagines his perfect date.
"It would have to involve ice cream," he says, breaking out into a wide grin. He goes on to describe a date with stargazing and "a lot of outside stuff." Kelly says 90 percent of his date must include laughter.
I ask him to describe himself in three words. Momentarily paralyzed by this assignment, he excitedly shot out four words: wobbly, lucky and moose. "Moose, the animal," he adds with another 100-watt smile.
