"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play, than in a year of conversation."
Plato

I'm a full time mental health professional for a nonprofit organization. I have my Masters in Forensic Psychology. I volunteer part time with the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center in my spare time. As a personal goal for myself, I enjoy learning about Ibogaine and help to increase awareness so that maybe one day it will be legal in the U.S. for treatment purposes. Whenever I get the time, I enjoy loving on my puppy and kitties, going biking or watching horror movies.

Eventually I'd love to take a cruise around Greece and Italy, buy a house and teach at a university. I'm a very goal oriented person and have high aspirations for myself and could never be with someone who didn't understand that. My friends and family are the most important people and they know I will always be there for them just as they are there for me.

I enjoy various things in life such as riding my bike, watching roller derby, rock climbing, playing guitar and hanging out with my friends. I love my pets so much that they are my children and I treat them like children and they are SUPER spoiled. When I have the time, I enjoy crocheting and making blankets for friends and family.

I love the wisdom from the great ancient philosophers. Plato is my favorite but that doesn't mean I don't love some Socrates or Aristotle. I enjoy having intellectual conversations as well as discussing the brilliance of shows such as Futurama and Family Guy (yes it can be done).

I don't really have any LGBT friends and I miss being part of that community like I was in my undergrad. If you're looking for a chill friend, look no further!

"Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit."
Aristotle

I'm currently working as a Mental Health Professional for a non-profit organization. I work with people with chronic mental illnesses and mostly dual diagnoses. It has turned me into a very strong cynic. I also volunteer nights with the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center and so far, I love it. My new pet project is working towards legalizing a drug called Ibogaine. If you know what that is, kudos to you and you should probably write me. I'm no photographer by any means, but I have recently taken a major interest in it. My speciality is nature and other random inanimate objects. I'm taking a few classes now, so hopefully one day I'll be brilliant in the art if photography.

"If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place"

I don't mean to sound so egotistical, but it is true. I'm extremely good at my job. I deal with addicts and people with mental illness everyday and my "tough love" has helped a lot of them. Also, my coworkers really love me around the office because of my dorky self. I'm also good at listening to my friends and offering advice as well as being there for people when they need a shoulder or a hug.

You tell me.

Books: I don't really like the modern stuff, but I thoroughly enjoy the classics. I love:
*Greek Mythology
*Edgar Allen Poe
*Plato
*Nostradamus
*Beowulf
*Most of Shakespeare's plays
*One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
*Dante's works
*The Hunchback of Notre Dame
*Great Expectations
*Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra
*Rubyfruit Jungle
and I'm sure more that I can't think of.

Movies: Mostly horror but I also enjoy the other types.
*Nosferatu
*The Bad Seed
*The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original)
*Freaks
*Shutter (Original)
*The Hunchback
*Spider-Man 1-2
*X-men 1-3
*Ever After
*Hello Dolly
*The Sound of Music
*The Green Mile
*Happy Texas
*A Murder of Crows
*All classic Disney movies
A whole bunch more but I can't think of them. I'd have to look at my Netflix Queue!!

Music: I love everything from Opera to Rock, Classical to Reggae, Classic Rock to Pop. One genre I'm not really into is Rap, I just don't find much talent calling women "Bitches and Ho's".

Food: I like many things and would enjoy trying new things as well. I don't eat peppers (allergic) and not a fan of onions, but other than that, sky's the limit!!

You have the cliche things/people such as family/friends and air/water/food, etc etc. Other than that, I suppose I'd say....
1) Education
2) Phone
3) Music
4) My pets of course
5) Helping to make the world a better place
6) Hanging out

Currently, work takes a lot of time and energy but I also enjoy living life and being social with my friends. My job takes a lot out of me but I do love it. I think about analyzing certain movies rather than just enjoying them for pure pleasure. I love to get into discussions (NOT ARGUMENTS) over religion, different entertainment industries, and almost anything else that I can take a position on (But politics aren't usually very high on that list)

It all depends on the week and how I'm feeling. I'm either trying to relax from a crazy week or I'm out being social with friends.

I'm not really willing to reveal anything private to everyone who takes a gander at this. Let's get to know each other first, k?

You wanna make a new friend.
