I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

If you want to be my friend, send me a message telling me who you are. I usually delete add requests if I do not know them.About me? What should I tell you strange people about me?Well, for starters, I am a writer. Not by profession, but by choice. I have many, many little worlds in my head and people who have stories to tell of them. This is not to say that I am schizophrenic, I am quite sane. As much as one can be. But I have stories to tell and, while I currently lack the means to do them justice, I still have the heart. I also, thankfully, have friends willing to help me along with the process.Secondly, I used to be a pessimistic prick. Not anymore. I took charge of my life (by quitting a job on a whim) and made it better. It is still not perfect, but it is on it's way. I am going back to school (after too long a hiatus) to pursue both career as well as personal goals. I am strengthening my strengths, shoring up my weaknesses, and never losing sight of what I know I can attain.I've led an interesting life, full of joy and happiness. I would not wish any of those things upon another nor would I give them away. "They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain!"

My Interests

Books, books, and more books. I love to read and now finally have time for it. I also, as stated elsewhere, love to write and tell stories of my own.The theatre. I love going to plays, my new haunt is the Knightsbridge Theatre in Silverlake. I also enjoy acting, but I have, sadly, not been doing much of that.And, of course, learning. Anything and everything.

I'd like to meet:

Alive or Dead? I'll do both.Robert A Heinlein. Actually, a lot of authors: Asimov, Clarke, Bova, Baxter, Peter David, JK Rowling, St John.Ben Franklin, any NASA or JPL people. Matt Jeffries, James Horner, Gene Roddenberry, Alexander Courage, B&B (just to smack), Keira Knightly, Natalie Portman.Mostly people I admire, drool over, or want to smack.Below are my friends in no particular order. The order was decided by a random numerical generator. New friends will be moved to the front until the next mixing.

Music:

..

Just about anything. My music collection has a bit of everything, mostly stolen at this point.For dancing purposes, I like the Gothic-Industrial scene. Someone needs to open another good Saturday Club in LA again!

Movies:

Serenity!!! The Star Treks (all but V), The Original Star Wars Trilogy, the View Askewiverse, The Jacket, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Butterfly Effect, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gattaca, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Office Space, The Boondock Saints...Like my music, movies covers a lot. Science Fiction, Drama, Comedy, A few Romance, Action, Fantasy, and everything in between.

Television:

Anything funny like Simpsons and South Park. Dramas like The Dead Zone, Lost, Cold Case. Those are the ones that last. I also love good, doomed series' like Firefly, John Doe, and some others that I can't think of. Science Fiction: The new Battlestar Galaticia, Star Trek, Babylon 5 (No I will NOT debate which is better, etc.), X-files, Heroes.I have also gotten into Survivor again, mainly because we have a pool at my work. Also, Deal or No Deal.

Books:

Right now, I am working through all of Heinlein's works, but I will bounce into anything that interests me. At work I am reading an SPSS/statistics book. It is pretty interesting to a geek like me.

Heroes:

Anyone who stands for what they believe in.
