About Me

if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it...does it still make a sound?
___One can never attain the "superego", that ideal perfection of self but it's all right, because it's all about the journey
___Once you have done a good deed, bury it and leave it behind you; once you speak of it, its purity is lost
___The human potential is limitless
I have a phobia of feet, especially finger-toes. Toe socks disgust me, but I like cute, normal socks as presents.
I love to nap during the day, but at night I get insomnia.
I can spend hours organizing my books, anime files, music files, and pictures but I can't keep my room clean.
I'm open-minded towards almost everyone I meet.
If I'm going to judge someone, it won't be on first impressions alone or what I've heard they've done in the past; People change and I sure wouldn't want to be judged based on my past mistakes. Besides, why should others' opinions matter? My mind is my own.
I tend to stay away from people who don't know themselves because I just don't have that sort of patience.
I like to keep meaningful things to myself, for as long as I can keep them, because I don't like to share with the world.
I really hate checking my voicemail so please don't ever leave me any.
When I'm pissy, I curse a lot, talk really loudly, and drive too fast.
My birthday is when I start my new year.
I always buy holiday and birthday cards two weeks before the actual date...but I never actually send them out.
I dislike fat pillows; only an ultra-flat one will do and if it is unavailable, I'll sleep without one
I get bored pretty easily, so I need constant challenge.
I like making lists--shopping lists, to-do lists but I'll usually forget to take them with me when I'm done.
I'm a compulsive note-taker. Even if I 90%-know it, I will write it down.
I like routine and schedule constraints because they keep me in line.
My favorite colors are red, yellow, and green.
When I'm drunk, please don't discuss any philosophical, political, or social ideals with me because I will go on forever. All I want to hear is that you're drunk too.

My Interests

Anime-Freak, Manga-Freak
i'm a NERD so i love to read anything and everything although my tastes currently run to books on society (Guns, Germs & Steel & Culture of Narcissism)
Cooking...it's an expression of love

Photography; I like working with black and white film the best
