I'm eclectic, ever-changing, and I love to learn. I have been studying just about anything I can get my hands on for years now, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon, despite not currently being in school. I do lots of research online, especially about things beyond normal understanding and experience. If it's esoteric, I'll either know about it, or would like to know, so feel free to bring it up.

I write, mostly short stories and essays, but also the occasional article and sometimes even poetry. I sketch and draw, my favorite media are graphite and pen-n-ink, but I'm getting more familiar with prismacolor markers. I love to read both literature and graphic novels, and I enjoy listening to and creating music, though honestly I haven't created much new in a while.

I just completed my Bachelor's degree in English (as in Literature), but I don't know at this point whether I'll wind up continuing to pursue my (not-so-well-paying) dream of being a writer and editor, or if I will simply go back to school and continue until I become a professor and stick with academia for the rest of my (un)natural life. Really, I most desire to be involved in comic books and graphic novels. We'll see how that turns out.

I have very unique tastes and predilections, and I am polyamorous, but closer to polyfidelitous. If you're wondering, feel free to ask.

Trying to figure out what to do with my bachelor's, trying to get some experience writing however I can (usually for school newspapers or random articles online), trying to become a gothic model, trying to start an underground art scene, trying to create underground movies (think Troma here), trying to actually create my first real comic, trying to balance a non-standard relationship, and trying to understand the meaning of the awakened existence. However, not overtly trying to be deep, just telling the truth.

°Judging circumstances and situations...

°Listening when others need it...

°Giving vague and oftentimes misunderstood advice that usually winds up being eerily appropriate and unerringly correct...

°Weaving words in a way that can always net the results I intend...

°Sensing things that others are usually blissfully unaware of...

°Being weird in a good way...

The way I either dress or carry myself... however, oftentimes that leads to conclusions and assumptions (that as we all know are usually wrong).

BOOKS: anything by Neil Gaiman or Harlan Ellison, however I've recently been interested in the importance of the vampire in folklore and modern fiction, as well as such topics as non-Judeo-Christian spiritualities, and non-standard relationship models...

MOVIES: The Crow, Run Lola Run, Fight Club, Habit, Blood and Donuts, The Boondock Saints, and just about anything Tim Burton, Hayao Miyazaki, or involving werewolves, vampires, and such... yes, even the cheesy stuff...

MUSIC: just about anything from old country or blues to EBM/darkwave/gothic/industrial. My favourite group of all-time is the Smashing Pumpkins. I sincerely dislike most music that is derivative, repetitive, and entirely unoriginal, if not downright mind-numbingly trite and/or derogatory. As a result, most pop music (especially modern pop music) is off the list, but even I have my guilty pleasures on occasion.

FOODS: I love ramen. I'm totally a ramen connoisseur, having tried many of the packaged and cup brands (to the point that sometimes I can tell which package ramen is which just from taste alone), and loving the authentic ramen found at the local ramen restaurant. I also like such things as macaroni and cheese (and just about anything with cheese), varying preparations for potatoes, and other things I shouldn't eat, since I kinda have to stay away from carbohydrates, seeing as how I have diabetes and all...

[Only six, jeez, how boring and uninvolved with life's loverly things do they think I am?? Oh well, here goes...]

1. reading

2. writing

3. learning

4. sensing

5. art

6. music

Either philosophy, literary criticism, European history, or something really inane that makes me giggle or want to tickle somebody. Right now I am also studying astrology, witchcraft and paganism in general, as well as the nature of sanguinarian and psi vampirism, therianthropes (especially werewolves) and otherkin.

maybe I'm in my house being intoxicated, maybe I'm at a local goth hangout being intoxicated. It really depends, and Friday doesn't really mean that much to me right this moment. Perhaps when I am regularly employed at a 9-5 M-F job again...

I think I've probably mentioned more private and personal details in the other sections than the average person would even tell their closest friends, so as a result, they don't really need repeating here, now do they?

we can have an intelligent conversation that's not too nerdy (I try to keep that part of me hidden from the world, thank you), or if you're part of/interested in the Awakened or Poly communities (if you don't know what that means, then chances are you aren't a part, but we can still chat).
