Your mother, in my pants, is a Ninth Degree Secret - Ordo Pancake IHOPIUS

About Me

I'm a fourth year psychology undergrad at Saint Martin's University in the process of getting back on my feet and revisting lessons I thought I had learned a long ass time ago. Life is strange and beautful that way - an alchemical experiment.By day, I traverse the long road between liberation and restriction, and by night I’m a faithful devotee of Bacchus and Eros. My other interests include but aren’t limited to: volunteer work with various local organizations, studying the varieties of religious experience, writing, and, in general, having a good time with my friends and bretheren.

My Interests

Alchemy,Alternative culture, Anthropology, Art, Coffee, Comics, Comparative Religion, Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, Hookah, LGBTQ Studies, Metaphysics, morning cigarettes, Mahayana Buddhist Psychology, Ordo Templi Orientis, Painting, Philosophy, Psychology, Religious Studies, Sociology, Social Justice, Tattoos, Theater, Volunteering, Writing, Yoga

I'd like to meet:

New People, not so new people. Good people, not so good.... wait - let's just stick with good people. Those who have an interesting story to tell or new insights to share. Happy people, people who may not necessarily be happy but are still doing the best that they can with what they've got and, finally, people who like to go out for coffee, create creativity and chaos and are interested in living for the sake of life.
