People find me intimidating. And for good reason. I am opinionated and egotistical. I am relentless. I am a 5 on the enneagram, which explains my drive to always be the best at whatever I choose to do. I'm the guy you'd love to hate.I really couldn't care less at what people think about me. I don't validate my existence over people's opinions. I hold high standards for myself, but I know enough to never hold the same standards to other people.I love reading books that tweak at the imagination, especially those that are speculative of the many things that we have come to accept supposedly as truths just because it's been taught to us over and over. Needless to say, I prefer to break conventions. Traditions are no fun.I love chinese martial arts movies. There's something poetic about heroes and heroines flying through the air and fighting it out in the air in a seeming dance of death. I'd take that over matrix-style action scenes any day.I love all furry creatures but I'm especially partial to cats. They're not quite as easy sell-offs as dogs. You have to work for a cat's affection and loyalty whereas a dog gives it willingly.I love to sing. I am prone to breaking out into song at random times of the day.I do not like surprises. The first question I ask whenever someone recommends a movie to me is "how does it end?". If I'm not satisfied with how it ends, I will not watch it.I love the beach, but I have a rather morbid fear of ocean travel.update: i've recently found a new favorite thing to do -- watch friends season reruns on dvd! smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?
