This is Carl if you haven't recognized me yet.
I exist. My philosophy is to do whatever makes me or those I care about feel happiest, and if it doesn't take much from that: to do whatever makes random folk I do not know happy as well. I only restrict that process by not screwing people over if it can be helped. I'm looking to have fun, of course, but also to learn and expand my perception of reality. But yeah. Fun.
I laugh a lot. And I mean a lot. I laugh when I see something funny. I laugh when I see a small animal. I laugh when I hurt myself, when I'm comfortable, or when I'm nervous. I laugh when I think about laughing and I'll laugh for no reason at all. Hell, I've laughed at funerals and I expect people to laugh at mine. It doesn't mean I'm never morose, only that I'm sort of silly.
I was looking for something to believe in for a long time. I listened to those that spoke of Gods, those that spoke of Nature, of Science, and of nothing. I kept searching for a long time. One day, I realized that I can believe in and count on myself. I never stopped searching even after that, even with the contentment my realization brought me. By keeping my heart open, I found that I could believe in others as well. It remains open.
I've always had a thing for fantastic adventures and stories about people. Fiction is my favorite form of art. I love what you can communicate through stories and characters that never existed. I love how you can display values and the lessons of life in its purest form through the author's creation. As a result, I'm into writing and stories in any form: anime, RPGs, movies, novels, video games and other fantasy related things. I first heard one of my favorite quotes in V for Vendetta, "An artist uses lies to tell the truth."
I spend much of my time dreaming up other worlds than this one, better worlds, worse worlds... but I seek to understand the one we all live in best. I like to write and to both share my dreams and see those of others. I aspire to do many things but I'm far too easy going to buckle down for anything more than just general fulfillment and happiness. Yet, that's fine with me because I believe that to be the best way to live.
I'm also very prone to being lost in my emotions, dreams, and desires.
Nothing is better than letting go with those you care about.
Except those rare times when you achieve true communication with another soul.
...and I really like forest green.
Who is Frieth?
Frieth was a name I used for myself for a fictional character I designed back in 2000. Over time, the idea of Frieth as a personality and as a person started to encompass everything I wanted to be or admired in people. Intelligence, Courage, not overly ambitious but capable of doing what needs to be done, Generous, Kind, somewhat aloof at times but capable of having fun and being fun almost anywhere, Lucky, fortunate to have great friends and be one, both trusting and trustworthy, and a huge capacity for love.
I became attached to the name over time and I use it to refer to myself whenever I play online games or anything that allows me to use a name that isn't my given name of Carl. I think (and hope) that I've gained certain traits of the persona that Frieth represents as I've traversed my life's path. It's now my name as much as Carl or Matthew.
