I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm curious, cynical, and occasionally charming, but I can also be crass and immature. I have a lot of weird habits and am usually damn messy, except when I go on one of my random five-hour cleaning binges. I can't decide if I like purple or green skittles best, so I always eat them together. I hold grudges, probably one of my worst qualities; I'm also quite blunt - I've never been good at sugarcoating my words, so if I'm annoyed, I wont' beat around the bush. I try to never make the same mistake twice. My best gals (and my kat!) and my family are the most important things to me.
I'm currently doing temp work with ManPower until I can go back to school. I have also been alternatingly enamoured with Data and Capitan Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: TNG my whole life, and yes, that is very important information.
Check out my cosplay! Yes I know I'm a geek, get over it or go away :D
Katsu '08 ROCKED FACE!! Best con yet :)
So, I play WoW. I play both Horde and Alliance. My mains -
Horde:

Level 23 Blood Elf Rogue named Atreayu (you know, like in Neverending Story only with a faggier spelling...shut up!), Subtlety spec, specialising in Skinning and Leatherworking. Member of {Liberi Fatali}! ~and~ Alliance:
Level 51 (currently) Draenei Mage named Oraea, Frost spec, specialising in Enchanting and Tailoring. Member of {Valar Morghulis}!
Yup, I suck at life :D I have a few other alts that I also have fun on, but rarely play. Feel free to hit me up on the Nazgrel server, unless u tlak leik dis al da tiem, then i dun want 2 tlak 2 u! However, I have come to appreciate WoW shorthand because seriously, there is no way to type out full sentences while playing.
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." -Albert Schweitzer

|-|4 interesting and I'll return the favour! I love to use my brain and you should love to use yours!
Seriously, I mean it, send a message that involves more than "hey hit me up" or "sup", coz THOSE ARE BORING OKAY. I DO NOT DO WELL WITH BORING =D And if there's no message at all, well...YOU'LL BE DENIED. KTHX :)

Television:

...I'm not a TV fan, I'm too ADD to be interested by anything for long. The only noticable exception is Star Trek: TNG, that show is just fabulous.
