About Me

I like books, intellectual conversation, creative expression. I'm quite competitive, and I love playing games. Specifically, chess, RPGs, fighting games. I'm interesting in learning martial arts. I like tennis, rock climbing, and dancing. I try to be myself, and do the things I want to do simply because I want to. I'm aspiring to be whatever. I don't know yet. I'm still working out where I'm headed in life. Right now I'm just trying to live.

Is that a good explanation?

Favorite Quotes:

"Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself."

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

"To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream."


"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

"Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch?"

[This is just a rant, and I'd prefer if no one would look for anything in it, or comment on it with advice. There's no advice for things like this. The only thing to do is simply press on, stay strong...
