I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

AFTER HAVING ALMOST A NOVEL-LIKE DESCRIPTION OF ME FOR YEARS, I HAVE DECIDED THAT NO ONE REALLY READS THESE...

AND AS A SOCIETY WE HAVE LEARNED TO READ IMAGES...

SO THAT IS ALL THAT IS LEFT,
JUST THE IMAGES.

(Pretty fitting for a photographer, eh?)

Which Dysfunctional Care Bear Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Which Sex and the City Player Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty
You're upbeat, insightful, effervescent and imaginative.You very rarely take anything at face-value.You also have a tendency to be a little neurotic and self-absorbed, and fall for guys who are either (for the most part) emotionally unattainable or completely wrong for you.That's okay, though, everyone loves you anyway. You're very well-liked. You always have a shoulder for your friends to cry on or an ear for them to gossip in. High-profile and fun, you're the life of the party.

You're "Cemetary Gates" ! You're smarter
than other people, with their trite
romanticized ideas about things. You have a
wicked sense of satire.

Which Smiths Song Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Your Love Style is Agape

You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner.Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare.You are willing to sacrifice your world for your sweetie.Except it doesn't really feel like sacrifice to you.For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love.

Your Deadly Sins
Pride: 60%
Lust: 40%
Sloth: 40%
Greed: 20%
Envy: 0%
Gluttony: 0%
Wrath: 0%
Chance You'll Go to Hell: 23%
You will die of malnutrition, after the Olson twins make dying of malnutrition trendy. How Sinful Are You?

I'd like to meet:



Someone who will say these things to me and mean it:

"You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you...
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you..."

ALSO...

Someone who's not pretentious (I hope you all see the irony), true to themselves and to others, hopefully a bit dorky, down to earth and out for a good laugh and a good time.

As for famous people: Robert Smith...cuz I've already met Jesus Christ and Dubya on myspace, I figure Robert Smith must be out there somewhere. And might as well throw in Morrissey there for good measure!!!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
