:::::UPDATE::::
I am currently SUPER busy with school and work. I'm not saying I wouldn't love to get a cup of coffee or a beer and have a fun chat with someone but I don't have the enegery to really spend much time here on Cupid. If you see my profile and like me or you notice that I've looked at you and you're interested. Drop me a line. I make time to respond to everyone even if I don't always make the first move.

:::: we now return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast in progress ::::

Here goes, the new self-summary...

Ya I've got nothing LOL how the heck is a person supposed to sum up the years of their life, the experiences that they have lead, the thoughts, people, the random stuff that makes us who and what we are? How do you then condense all that down into a few paragraphs that show not only how witty you can be but just how gawd awful some of your puns are, show how kind you can be and yet how thoughtless you have been.

Well this is me, I'm a mix of this, that, and something else all together. I've been called funny and serious, shy and bold. I'm a bundle of contradictions much like everyone here, and it all depends on the random actions of the universe as to which part of me shines most at any given time.

I'll tell you what. If you honestly are interested in who I am and what makes me tick, just ping me and lets get a cup of coffee. I'm a real person and would just as soon chat face to face as attempt the song and dance of painting myself here only to be disappointed that the person I thought I was meeting wasn't who actually showed up.

Full time student at South Seattle Community College working towards a degree in Network Administration. As well as working on being certified in NLP and Hypnosis.

And when I'm not busy going those two directions in my head I'm reading and reading and reading LOL trying to learn as much about myself and life as I can.

Words, I'm really good at words. I've written poetry in the past and I can talk circles around a used car salesman. I love crafting the right words for the situation and strive in my life to make sure that I don't accidentally offend anyone. I want those who I offend to KNOW they've been insulted :-D

I'm very creative, and love to make things. I make jewelery, and other items out of chainmaille.

I'm a great listener. Yes I know I love to talk but listen well too. This has helped a lot with my NLP studies. I love to learn new things and listening to folks talk about stuff reveals a world of information that they may or may not have intended to share.

I ask good questions. Back to the learning yet again LOL I love to understand the hows and whys of peoples actions and motivations (not just others but my own as well). Some folks don't care for my very direct and to the point way of asking things, however, all my friends love it. I don't see the point in beating around the bush, if I've a question I ask. :-D

Fist thing people generally notice is that I'm wearing a kilt ... I don't own pants.

Second to that, I'd have to say my smile.

Good gawd having to pick favorites on these things is like asking a mother which child she likes best ... on one hand there are no favorites, on the other, there are times that there feels like there is a closer bond with some over the others.

I'm going to follow in the footsteps of some folks I've seen here, rather then attempting to list the wild variate of books, movies, music, and food that I enjoy I'll just list my most recent samplings of each...

Books ~ I love to read, always working to expand my mind and learn new things. Just finished "Kushel's Dart" and am working on "Take off your Glasses and See"

Movies ~ Don't honestly remember the last movie I watched LOL I've generally got too much going on to just veg out and watch a movie but I love going out to movies when I get the chance.

Music ~ flopping around between David Garrett, The Wicked Tinkers, and Apocalyptica

Food ~ Ah food ... I love food. I love to try new foods out and to explore my tastes here as much as anywhere in life. Any suggestions what I should try next? Wanna cook me your favorite meal? I'll do the same for you ;-)

pen and paper ... I am constantly jotting notes about life or new ideas for something to create down ... now keeping track of where those notes went, that's another story.
Books ... my portal into other worlds and other ways of looking at this one.
Music ... there's always a song going through my head, be it AC/DC or Vivaldi
Love ... Whether its from my friends, family, or simply from my cat. Love isn't an optional thing for me.
Ideas ... My mind races with ideas and plans and new ways of looking at the world. I think that were I to lose that I would lose myself.
Hope ... without hope what do you have?

How the hell to let someone on here know that you are interested without sounding like a complete douche ...

"Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away..." ~ Louis de Bernieres

Why one of our cats seems to thing she's a bird (she chirps) and the other seems to be more sloth then cat (hang him upside down, swing him to and fro nothing seems to faze him LOL)

What is this that I just ate and do I really want to know ...

Where am I going and why am I in this hand basket?

Trying to finish my homework from the week LOL I don't tend to get out as much as I'd like but I'm getting the best grades I've ever gotten in my life right now...

trying to find the next thing that scares me so I can conquer it

... well what's the most private thing you're willing to ask me? ;-)

You've read down this far, at least say hi. Worst case you make a new friend.

If you don't message me after reading this .. chances are I'll be too shy to message you, and we'll both miss out on the chance LOL one of us has to be bold ;-)

one of my favorite quotes is "Be brave. Even if you're not pretend to be. People can't tell the difference."

What do you have to lose in messaging me other then some boredom and come on ... don't we all have enough boredom in our lives?
