I am here for Friends

About Me

What can be said about me? I'm a very open and accepting person. I love meeting and talking to new people. I'm very sarcastic and can be brutally blunt and honest when I want to be. I never try to be anything other than who I am because I'm proud of the person I am. I love learning, I love reading, and I love experiencing new things in life. I'm very silly and whimsical. I'm slightly misanthropic and I only become more so dealing with people at work everyday. I'm perverted, sick, and twisted and I wouldn't want it any other way. I tend to be pessimistically optimistic in the sense that even if I know I won't succeed, I always like to try anyway just to see if I can. I love music, and European metal is my music of choice. I'm forever curious, which has gotten me in some awkward situations at times.

My Interests

Reading, literature, psychology, hats, coffee, metal music, photoshop, Norse Mythology, dark chocolate, Renn Faires, long, glorious hair; Vikings, eyes, nailpolish, hands, philosophy.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who accepts me for who I am.

Friends: "Life dies inside a person when there are no others willing to be-friend him. He thus gets filled with emptiness and a non-existent sense of self-worth."

Epicurus, who once said:

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God."
