About Me

Um, about me... dunno what to say, really. I'm a 28-year old student of the world, but has never visited enough to pass a test. Just keeping m'eyes open and watching the universe at work. It's not much of a hobby, but it beats the hell out of shooting-up in a back alley, somewhere, and vomiting on a stranger's shoes.

It seems that when I think about what I'm really looking for is to fall madly in love and have a sickeningly-sweet homelife, with a hot, open-minded, sex life. Sex on the dining table, before work, when we're finding gray hair in places when there was no hair before. Just trying to let people know what kind of partner I'm looking for.

Life and humanity are things I dig. Starting everyone off on equal footing is something I strive to do, even though no one is so perfect. Catch me on the wrong day and a person could appear as something parasitic, that needs a cure; on another day, a fine person, whom I'd like to know better. Colored by emotions and outer influences, I am only human, but realize my folly and strive to do better.

(Ready for the run-on sentence? 'Cause here 'goes:)I'm female, bisexual, white, native american, no pixie, extremely protective of my friends, patriotically-unpatriotic, love Man, but dislike most people, generally contradictory, somewhat geeky, attempting to steal back my innocence, while keeping my eyes open, a terrible liar, affected by music, a recovering catholic with pagan tendencies, an artist, brutal, non-violent, usually wearing a good deal of armor, shameless on a dance-floor, a terrible singer that still will sing, liable to swear like a sailor, will try just about anything in the bedroom, but I have to like them an awful lot, a tad political, deeper than a teaspoon, like the way women kiss, but like men with stubble-y chins and cheeks, think Chris Isaak and Trent Reznor should try doing an album together, just to see how fast it would strip the panties off women, and a bit of a socialist.

'Considering going to school for mortuary sciences or business. Honestly though, I have more interest in the former, than the latter.

I have been thinking about the things I really want out of life and why they aren't so, like my inability to trust people I've never met. (By the way, people who message me and jump right to sex creep me out. Yes, I like to fuck and it's on my mind, but I'm not thinking about fucking you, until there's an established "golly, I really like this guy"- factor, which takes some time without the main modes that people really communicate, body language and inflection) Lately I have been thinking about going back to school, but at the eternal stumper from kindergarten "What do you want to be when you grow up?" 'Cause I don't know. 'Don't know what I want to do, but I know it's something more than this. I think about my friends and family and what constitutes a good life and what I need to do to enrich my own.

You think like me? Want to know what I would think of you? Take the test!

I think I figured out where I went wrong in my late teens, early twenties. I was trying to date and make long term commitments to a guy who was thirty and still stuck in emo. What's bad? I still have a soft spot for emo boys. Go 'head, point and laugh. For the clueless, I present:

And just because they freakin' rock. Add to My Profile | More Videos

This video is "Ehn," at best, but merely thinking of the music makes me bite me lip.

And sometimes, I think I'm going to be stuck with this douche-bag, if I don't step up my game.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The English dub-cast for Fullmetal Alchemist. Say what you want, those who think poorly of dubbing. FMA was awesome in both formats, but in English, I was able to watch all of the action, not just the bottom quarter of the screen. ;) Plus, I want to give a shout to the people who make dubbing possible, from the lawyers who negotiate bringing it to us, to the translators, writers, producers, directors and actors who do the damn thing. Taking responsibility for a series like FMA which was insanely loved before it came to the US, and doing it justice took a lot of work. Matching the timing and flaps, while still being accurate and actually conveying emotion is no cake-walk.

That's why I have such love for this crew. They did this amazing project with such care that I am in awe. My friends and I have been into anime for years, and they were into attending cons, going to the panels and the like, but FMA moved me to take more of an active role in supporting this art that I have come to love.

I hope to meet both Elric brothers, a no brainer. I've met Ed, Vic Mignogna, which was weird, because I wasn't sure if he was sincere and I, uh... turned into a bonifide jerk, due to the fact that I couldn't believe how sincere he really was. So, if you meet him, no he's not spoon-feeding you stage love, he really means it. If it sounds rehearsed, he's been asked whatever the question is, probably 3 dozen times in the last week. Sorry Vic. As for Aaron Dismuke, I know I'm probably going to have to travel to meet him, but how can I not love my fellow libra? He's the voice of kindness in a can! He's the v.a. for Hiro, the sheep of the chinese zodiac (my sign's representative, though he's a monkey, I believe) and young Akito (eek!) in Fruit's Basket. He's so talented and just turned 14. Nice.

I am on a quest to meet all seven deadly sins, though it's not so much of a quest as I just think that they have the greatest job ever and all too cool for school. (-- last line: So lame. Hides face in shame.) So far, I have met Gluttony, Chris Cason; Wrath, Luci Christian and though not a Homunculus, Dante/Lyra, Monica Rial. They're all so awesome! *grinning* I couldn't help but show lots of love when they came around, and I won't mention in here how, because I'm sure that they would all remember specific incidents. *blushes*

I'd love to meet the military group, Roy Mustang, Travis-"oh how I hate that he's spoken for"-Willingham; Maes Hughes, Sonny Strait; Riza Hawkeye and director, Colleen Clinkenbeard; Alex Louis Armstrong, Chris Sabat; Jean Havoc and director, Mike McFarland, Heymans Breda, Josh Berry; Kain Feury, Kevin Connolly; Vato Falman, Kyle Hebert. Insofar, I have only met Travis from this group. It was at this time that I defected as a Ranger, and proudly declare "Travis Willinghan is dead sexy in a miniskirt!" [insert dirty joke here]

I LOVE Izumi Curtis, Christine Auten (so much so that she's my AIM icon, replacing Bettie Page). Though I've yet to meet her. I love her character so damn much *sigh* she was played with such kick-ass authority, yet she had the underlying frailty of her illness and a mother's gentle, though firm touch.

Meeting Winry Rockbell, Caitlin Glass was a very pleasant experience to which I may only expound upon with "I'm a pony!"

Scar is such an interesting character. Dameon really does do great work with him. He's fully accomplished the mission of making us love and hate him. One word: "Nina" The whole ride of getting to know Scar was just something to be beheld, because he pretty much carried our interest and sympathies of all the Ishbalans.

Barry the Chopper, v.a.-ed by Jerry Jewell is on my list due more to his work on Fruit's Basket, as Kyo, but who doesn't love Kyo? Though, it has to be just a little bit frickin' awesome to play such a part! Muhahahaha!

I could go on, but won't because if things go well, I'll eventually have stories for all of them and more. :)

There are lots of non-FMA folks that I am interested in meeting, but since I recently returned from Youmacon, it's still fresh in my sick little head.

Grindhouse Good! Dating Morons Bad.

Online dating. Woot, right? *grumbles* You would think that if you got a good vibe from a person via a few conversations that a date would not go too horribly askew, that somehow it's better than drun...
