Tons of pure awesome rolled into one tasty long hominid. A really cool person. Very smart, talented, funny guy who saves your ass on a daily basis then plays a round of Modern Warfare. All in the same day. Usually geeky. Always nice. Rock star in the sack. Leaps tall buildings in a single bound. Eats plants, animals and Pizza Rolls.

Derek, ahhhh hands down the most amazing person to exist. You are my person all the way, Derek although you are your basic Aries you have grown into such a perfect man, the one that I am going to marry to be exact. This year has morphed into what will be forever. 2018 was very rocky we both know that, some situations so tough and usually ones that tear others apart. But not us. We are still standing today and stronger than ever. Happy 1 year Anniversary to you my lovey. Thank you for being everything and so much more than I can ask for. You are always the one there for me through everything and I hope I am that person for you. I wouldn't want to be anywhere in this world with anyone besides you. You were placed in my life at the time you were for a reason, and look at us now we have so much goals together. We both want to get married, grow together, save people and every creature on this planet just as you saved me. You brought me out of a dark time, a time of change a time where I was lost within myself and not only did I find myself but I found me through my bestfriend & my soulmate.

“Pulling a Derek” is a verb used to denote a radical surf maneuver only accomplished by an elite surfer.

Guy who steals at lunch and throws cheese.

Without a doubt, the coolest kid around.

amazingly awesome at everything. Derek is a symbol or being who simply is the best one can possibly be. he once said "so i ask dem, you want ice cream cone? bof of dem say yes! how in de hell?"

A Derek has many positive and negative qualities...

Negative:
-Appears to be a jackass when first meeting him
-Makes jokes that can cause people to take offense and doesn't lower his voice and often makes these jokes in public
-Obsession with bands like Owl City
-Occasionally doesn't brush his teeth....

Positive:
-Once you get to know him, he is generous and loving
-Cares about his friends and would do anything for them
-Passionate about the things that matter to him
-Encouraging and honest

So...if you can get past first impressions, a Derek is a life long friend. One tip for all Derek's is to step up and tell the girl you like or love how you feel. Stop being so sensitive and just go for it!
