Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

First of all, I loath the concept of self summaries, you cannot possibly summarize your whole self in one box. I understand that you can't attempt to know somebody just by looking at their picture, but there must be a better way to find out about a person. It's all about perspectives, so why don't you tell me about myself? No? Mmk then, here it goes...

I love animals. I spend the majority of my free time reading and I draw, paint and write poetry to prevent my brain from exploding and to remind me of my self.

I hate sleeping. I love coffee. Think what you want, they are completely unrelated...mostly...unrelated I tell you! I love the smell of coffee first thing in the morning (or last thing at night), and the smooth taste of it. I despise sleeping because I think there are better things to do than act comatose for 8 hours and I almost always dream when I sleep.

I follow whatever fascinates me and feeds my curiosity. I usually appear to be quiet and shy, but I also have a tendency to be random, especially under the influence of coffiene. Yes, COFFIENE, no I didn't spell it wrong. It's my word.

I'm frequently found star-gazing/sky-watching and I seek solitude, which is why I love midnight. Being awake outside at night refreshes and revitalizes my mind and my soul. Even though most of life is sleeping, everything seems so much more alive at night. I'm captivated by rain and I long for a good storm. Rain at midnight seems to be most brilliant than at any other time. It's so quiet at that you can hear every sound it makes as it hits the Earth and the air is so clear that all you smell is the rain. I also love the ocean so I don't think I'll ever be able to live anywhere not close to it or some other body of water.

I enjoy manipulating metaphors in my spare time. I search for intensity and have an insatiable curiosity. I try to keep busy; I can't stand feeling like I'm wasting time. (I also despise semi-colons, but it just had to go there...)

I sing when I'm sure no one is listening. I hate dancing.

While I was viewing my own profile I got a good laugh out of the "0% enemy" as that is so far from the truth. According to most personality tests I'm an INFJ, according to some I'm an INTJ. I spend a lot of time thinking about how I feel and about how I think. Sometimes I get frustrated when people misunderstand me, but I can also understand why because I can't figure myself out half the time either.

That first ellipsis was a foreshadowing; it was warning you that this may take awhile to read so you better grab a coffee and get comfy.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Searching for balance.

Going to college for Environmental Sciences. I'll then finish a degree in Environmental Studies or Forensics at university. I'm also fascinated by Psychology, Anthropology, and Criminology, so I may try to fit some courses in those areas as well. School is my life as I put all of my energy and focus into learning. I'm leaning more towards Environmental Stewardship than Law Enforcement for many reasons, but mostly because of one complicated reason that I won't try to explain here.

I guess I'm trying to find myself again. I thought I had it all figured out then I ran away from my self to go find out who I was supposed to be and I still haven't found out yet.

I'm trying to get my passion, ambition, drive and focus back. It took me so long to realize I lost all of it and now I'm taking even longer to figure out a method of turning myself back into me again. School is definitely helping me do that as it is the place where I feel most like myself, and most alive.

Eventually I believe I will study something...no, I mean my career will have to do with studying things...no, I mean studying everything. I'll be a researcher.

The only place I have ever wanted to visit is Ireland. Though I'm sure with my curiosity, eventually I'll want to travel to other places.

I also want to try and get in shape while going to school. I plan on spending a lot of my future surrounded by untouched wilderness, which means I'll have to find some creative ways that don't include elevators or escalators to get to those places so I better make sure I'm relatively fit. Running up and down endless stairs before, between and after class with a 40lb backpack is one way to get in shape.

I might start my own business in my spare time (hah!), selling candles, natural oils, bath products, books, my artwork/local artwork and the like.

I used to spend all any extra time volunteering. Currently I only volunteer at a local science center once in awhile, handling animals and helping the staff teach visitors about our Earth and the lifeforms that live on it.

Ok...I also volunteer as a student ambassador and with a certain eco-friendly political group. I also pitch in with a local environmental group occasionally and at an exotic animal rescue center. Once a year I volunteer at a writer's conference for a weekend.

I'm also a receptionist at a Physiotherapy Clinic.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Good is relative...I'm better at some things than others, I'm better at those things than other people are and other people are better at them than I am.

Some people say I'm good at being stubborn.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

This question is too awkward, how am I supposed to know what other people think or notice?

If I weren't me, I would probably notice my eyes first. I've been told they can be intense and they do change colour with my moods.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

(A) I have too many favourite books to name them all here and I'd rather spend all the time I'd waste naming them actually reading those books. But I love Michael Slade, Jeffery Deaver, Thomas Harris, John Case, Dan Brown and Michael Connelly. I enjoy any book that makes me question life or opens my eyes to different perspectives. I'm starting to read more classics than I used to, though I haven't picked a favourite yet.

One amazing book that I've read recently is "Natural Flights of the Human Mind" by Clare Morall. It's one of those good books that you don't realize is a good book until you're too far into the story to stop, so you read it all in one sitting. Another book I enjoyed immensely was Land of the Living by Nicci French.

Right now I'm in the middle of reading "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" for the first time, as well as "Death's Door" by Michael Slade, "Forty Signs of Rain" by Kim Stanley Robinson, "Pumping Ions" by Tom Wujec and a Reader's Digest book on the world's greatest mysteries.

(B)Same with movies, just too many to name. I can't stand most chick flicks or horror movies where the only purpose of the movie is to inflict terror. Though a decent horror movie that has a smooth story line, believable characters and still manages to give you nightmares is great.

I enjoy movies that have you guessing the whole way through and you can't figure out what's going on until the last few minutes (or you have to watch over and over again before you get it all). Memento, Boondock Saints, Office Space, Zodiac, Fracture and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind are among my favourites that I've watched lately. The most amazing movie I've watched recently is The Fountain.

(C)Music is something I don't think I could feel alive without. I enjoy most music besides rap, jazz, blues and twangy country. I hate being one of those people who say "I like everything but rap and country" because I do enjoy listening to some songs and artists from those categories, but GENERALLY I just don't listen to them.

A few of my favourite artists are Nickleback, Daughtry, Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse, Hinder, Red, 3 Doors Down, Default, Matchbox 20, Rascal Flatts, Evanescence, Sarah McLachlan, Yellowcard, 12 Stones, Maroon 5, Lonestar, Incubus, Anberlin, The All-American Rejects, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Vertical Horizon, Breaking Benjamin, Pearl Jam, Neve, The Calling, The Fray, Stabilo, Thriving Ivory, City and Colour, One Republic, Savage Garden, Josh Groban, State of Shock, Jeremy Camp, James Blunt, Joshua Radin, Train, Hedley, Tonic, Bedouin Soundclash, Linkin Park, Creed, Enya, Enigma, Switchfoot, Dixie Chicks, Avril Lavigne, Hoobastank, Dashboard Confessional, Faber Drive, Emerson Hart, Buckcherry, Simple Plan, Stone Sour, Staind, Our Lady Peace, Relient K, Rise Against, Secondhand Serenade...OK I give up, there are too many to name.

(D) There are some foods I don't particularly like and some foods I enjoy eating, but I don't really have any particular favourite. Though, I prefer fresh fruit & veggies to any sort of processed version and I'll take a wrap over a sandwich any day. I also don't each much meat, but I don't think I could be a vegetarian because I love chicken and seafood. Oh, but if Coffee is considered a food, then that would be my favourite. I also get cravings for certain foods, mostly spicy food, bagels with cream cheese, Sushi, smoked salmon, Jelly Bellies and random combinations of food.

(W) My favourite quotes:

"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God."

-Martin Luther

..."And what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys."

-Chief Dan George

(X) Favourite T.V. Shows: CSI (the original and NY), HOUSE, The X-Files, Mysterious Ways, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Criminal Minds, Charmed, Bones, Holmes on Homes, Numb3rs, Dead Like Me.

(Y) Favourite colour: BLUE

(Z) Favourite Word: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (I love irony) tied with Syzygy.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Really, this question should be "The six things I could never feel alive without" otherwise you'll get smart-asses like me who will start off by saying food, water, shelter and the like, which are the only true things I could never survive without.

So here are the things that I could never feel alive without:

An open book (I need to keep my brain occupied because I'm addicted to learning),

Coffee (which I won't admit I'm addicted to),

An open mind,

My cats (and other animals),

Music,

Rain (especially storms).

OK I'm going to break the rules here (OKCupid censors close your eyes)...

HUGS are also something I can't get enough of. I probably could live without them, but I know I wouldn't enjoy it.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Everything, all the time, at the same time.

This question is even worse than the "self-summary" box; how am I supposed to fit all of my thoughts into a box?

Like I said, my curiosity gets the better of me, so I spend a lot of time thinking about a lot of things. I lose track of time (and depth perception) when I'm lost in thought...or when I've lost my glasses, wondering where I put them. I walk around bumping into walls and tripping over penguins like a bumbling idiot, until I finally find them exactly where I knew I put them but I just couldn't see that they were there. Then I sit down and wonder who put those penguins there and what I should do with them. Finding my glasses on the table beside me, I decide I should really get some sleep and apologize to my black and white cat for tripping over her. Then I go to bed and read a book or sketch for the rest of the night with my cats curled up beside me and forget that I was planning on sleeping until it's too late (or too early).

Sometimes I've got so many unrelated thoughts (usually half-formed) racing through my head that they crash into each other (it's a great visual which always amuses me; high-speed car accidents in my head) and I can rarely make sense of any of them. My thoughts often contradict each other as well, but still seem to make sense to me...or at least I like to tell myself that.

I often wonder why we think and ponder about the processes behind thought and the idiosyncrasies of the English language. I also occasionally ponder if I would not be so contradicting to myself if my native tongue was a different language than English, as I'd have more words to describe my thoughts and feelings. Which is one main reason I draw, as words alone often can't sum up how I feel.

I have a tendency to look at things from other people's perspective. It comes easy to me and I usually do it subconsciously. It helps me develop my own view on certain issues and keeps my mind fresh.

The destruction of our Earth through mass over-consumption saddens me. I also think that organized religion has a tendency to relieve people of the burden of thinking for themselves. It frustrates me when people use their religion as excuse to not take responsibility for their own actions. Even worse are those who believe in their religion only when it's convenient for them.

Here are my thoughts on people like that:

"God told me I needed to kill someone, so I had to do it."
ME: "But God also told you to jump off a bridge, why didn't you feel you had to do that?"
"Because if I did that, then I couldn't kill that person"
ME: "So in that case, maybe God was actually telling you that you had the choice to NOT kill that person"
"But...then I'd be dead"
ME: "Well...that's a really good option as well."

...People in general wear down my soul, but I know there are individual persons out there that would fascinate me and rekindle my spirit and my opinion of humanity, so I hold on to the hope that we'll cross paths one day.

Lately I've been getting distracted easily and my memory... O0o is that a penny?...What was I saying?

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Curled up on the couch thinking, reading a book, sketching, writing poems, watching the rain fall, watching a movie, or going for a long walk and doing random things to distract myself.

Well, that's what a typical Friday night was like before 'life' got in the way, but now I'm working every Friday night...so that applies to any night I'm not working, volunteering or at school.

What's so special about Friday nights anyways? The stars shine on all the other nights too!

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

As this is a public profile, once I admit it here it will no longer be private, will it? If you want to know something just ask me and I may or may not answer it.

OK, OK...I despise this formation of words strung together in a fashion that's supposed to be of some resemblance of my self for others to peruse and try to decide if they would want to interact with me. I'm terrible at keeping in touch, no matter how interesting the person or conversation and I'm mostly here to pass time by doing meaningless tests. There is no point in reading this profile to get to know me, as the me I pretend to know will be different from the person you believe you may know.

OK, OK, OK! I know this is supposed to be juicy and all, so I'll write something of that sort to amuse a random stranger: I used to be attracted to gay guys. I know, it's odd...Even I don't fully understand it.

You should message me if Propose an edit

So this is where I'm supposed to list every premise that defines when you should message me? There are countless numbers of possibilities that would give you reason to message me. For instance:

The mood strikes you.

The mood struck you so hard that you want to ask me for my advice on how to treat concussions.

You're wondering how you could ask me for my advice on how to treat a concussion because you're unconscious.

How are you even reading this, then?

You have nothing better to do so you figure that you might as well do it, even if you have nothing to say or what you think you may say will hardly make any sense at all.
You're bored.

You feel like discussing or debating anything at all.

You want to verbally maul me for my opinions.

I missed a 'u' in favourite, colour or any other word that should have a 'u' in it. (Regardless of what the generic American dictionary states!)

You noticed that it seems I have complete disregard for the alphabet.

You're wondering what hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia means.

or

You think OK should revise these profile questions too, especially this one!

Really, almost anything goes. You may message me and I might feel like responding, but I may not.

If the question was worded "I'd like you to message me if" then this would've been much easier.
