This is apparently who I am: Fun to be with. Secretive. Difficult to fathom and to be understood. Quiet unless excited or tensed. Takes pride in oneself. Has reputation. Easily consoled. Honest. Concerned about people's feelings. Tactful. Friendly. Approachable. Emotional temperamental and unpredictable. Moody and easily hurt. Witty and sparkly. spazzy at times. Not revengeful. Forgiving but never forgets. dislikes nonsensical and unnecessary things. Guides others physically and mentally. Sensitive and forms impressions carefully. Caring and loving. Treats others equally. Strong sense of sympathy. Wary and sharp. Judges people through observations. Hardworking. No difficulties in studying. Loves to be alone. Always broods about the past and the old friends. Waits for friends. Never looks for friends. Not aggressive unless provoked. Loves to be loved.

My Interests

And that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. I don't need this or this. Just music. And movies, the music and the movies and that's all I need. And this intolerably cute thing. The music, the movies, and the intolerably cute thing, and that's all I need. And these books. The music, and these books, and the intolerably cute thing and the movies. And this whiskey. The movies, this music and the intolerably cute thing and the whiskey and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this. The movies, and the skin touching skin, and the intolerably cute thing, and the books, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The movies, the intolerably cute thing, the whiskey, this medium-well steak and the skin touching skin.
