I'm a bit unsure of how to describe myself. I've even gone so far as to have someone else give me three words to fill in the previous boxes. I don't want to make claims I can't live up to or inadvertently lie. I'm the kind of person who feels she does not quite know herself completely, but does not trust others to define her. I like to laugh and be happy and become unsure of what to do when others are not. I am sensitive and have depression, so I often become sad myself, but prefer to only let it show - when it can be helped - when alone, so as not to cause this uncertainty or discomfort in others. I will attempt, in my discomfort and empathy, to make those who are sad laugh. It is not out of mockery for the other's emotions, but simply an attempt to get everyone smiling again. I enjoy doing things for those I love, but am not so good at housework upkeep. Not because I don't want to do it, but because I am so wrapped up in the world of my inner mind that I do not notice when it needs to be done.

That being said, I enjoy fiction in its many forms: books, movies, cartoons, anime, and am enraptured with music of all kinds. Anything that can help me escape this world and bring me happiness, because life has taught me it cannot be found here, is an obsession with me. I am also what you may call a collector - of paper specifically. I have a hard time throwing anything made of paper out if it belongs to me. I have no problem throwing out magazines that do not belong to me, for instance, but will not throw out those that do belong to me. I am, fortunately, overly organized when it comes to paper as well, and have the ritual of cleaning out all papers every five years or so. This ensures that I do not become a truly ill pack rat or hoarder. This illness has seen much more attention on TV over the past couple of years, but mine isn't as bad as you see on Dr. Phil.

Paper also brings me to the fact that I am a writer as well as a reader. I write fanfiction to practice without wasting my ideas while my skills are not yet honed to my satisfaction. When they are honed to my satisfaction I will begin on the many novel ideas I've obtained over the years, but until then I only write bits and pieces of my own work. I also write plenty of poetry, but this is an emotional outlet and, by no means, a specialty of mine. I intend to either teach English at the college level or use my degree to obtain a professional job somewhere if I cannot make it solely - or at all - as a writer.

I am a lesbian. I hope there is a form for that since this is a dating site, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. I am also Elective Neo-Pagan and religion is very important to me. This does not mean I demand someone who is also Pagan, though it would be nice to not be the only one for the first time in my life, but it does mean that I take religion seriously as a whole, and I do not stand for the mockery of it as a whole or as an individual part. I'm very big on tolerance, to the point that it's sickening to many people where I live - the South. That's right, capital S, emphasis on the "the" - pure redneck-ville. So, this may not be so bad to someone from another state where tolerance is a normal part of life. I'm not so uptight that I can't take a joke when I know that it is good fun and others - especially if the target of the joke - can take it. I just have to know for certain it's a joke or I may become slightly upset with a pause for explanation, at least.

That's probably one of my bigger flaws, the one that often irks people the most. I have also been dumped for being too nice before, but I don't see where that is a bad trait. When I love someone, I want to do all I can to make that person happy. It is not an act, simply because I do not do this for other people. It means, I am treating you differently because I genuinely feel differently for you than I do anyone else. If this cannot be understood or tolerated, any possible relationship is doomed from the beginning. I am a truly loving person when in love.

Writing. I take writing very seriously. I can't stand illiteracy on the internet. Bad spelling and grammar are fine, I tutor after all, but illiteracy caused by laziness is an unforgivable crime to me. I'm also very knowledgeable about animation as a whole, American and Japanese cartoons mostly.

I'm uncertain, but possibly my hair because it's so long, and the fact that I'm usually dressed in all black. If wearing spikes, those are probably noticed first as well.

in front of my computer all night, writing or making music videos.

I'm afraid of the dark? Is private the same as embarrassing? I pissed myself running from a roach once, but to be fair I was already on the toilet doing my thing when he attacked. I can't kill 'em, by the way, so my only option was to run.

you feel the need. I'll only respond if the message doesn't seem fake, mass produced, or sexually centered.
