About Me

~*LIKES*~: sillyness, the fine arts, halfprice book stores, paranormal phenomena, fire/candles, windy days, coffee and chocolate (especially together), colourful/shiny things ^-^, things with lots of pockets, morbid humour, dreams, astrology, foreign languages and cultures
~*DISLIKES*~: stupid people, shallow people, PeOpLe WhO tYpE lIkE tHeY'rE hAvInG a FrIkIn SeIsUrE, arrogance, poor use of grammar, all the senseless bullshit in the world, trends (when they suck), authority figures, closed minds/ignorance, and organized religion.
~*THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME*~: * I'm mildly insane. * I'm obscenely opinionated. And cynical. * I'm a libertarian, not an anarchist. * I make references to Arasuvia. This is the name I've given my own little world. I even have a map (click here) and a language for it (see "mildly insane"). * I'm actually really friendly. Certain things just set me off. *

My Interests

Philosophy, fencing, theatre, art, medieval stuff (SCA!), parapsychology, reading, languages (right now I speak English and Spanish, but I'm hoping to add Italian).

I'd like to meet:

Anyone has an open mind, an interesting history, a fun collection of interests, a love of life, or need of a friend... and the person who made this page:
http://bananapicklecarrotpepper.ytmnd.com/
I tend to find fascinating people online... But I am just in it for the friends. Because let's face it- online dating is just stupid. If you're that desperate for romance, grow some balls, go up to someone in person, and get to know them better.

If you add me without sending me a message (unless I know you), I will probably deny you... just as a note.

If you repost those stupid bulletins that claim you will die gruesomely or go the rest of your life without sex if you don't repost, you are a fucking moron who lacks the simple competence to draw the line between reality and complete nonsense. I want nothing to do with you. Don't ever fucking talk to me. I'm am so tired of you people and your mindless blind superstition. Someone should shoot you in the reproductive organs to save the gene pool from your complete idiocy.

Music:

I don't know a whole lot of bands, but I'll listen to just about anything.

Movies:

I'm not too picky with movies, but I avoid romance because I'm not a romantic person, and horror because I can't stand watching stupid people. I hate pointless stuff like Napoleon Dynamite.

Television:

I don't really watch anything anymore, but I like House MD, Scrubs, South Park, the old Adult Swim stuff like Futurama and Family Guy, and Two and a Half Men.

Books:

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Symphony of Ages, Witches of Eilianan, Dan Brown, the Sabriel series, Terry Pratchett, Stargirl, Wicked, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galexy, Anthem, 1984... the list goes on and on. Most of what I read is fantasy or dystopia, but I'll read anything if I'm told I might like it.

Heroes:

Having defined heroes tends to lead to unhealthy levels of admiration/obsession. More because of chance than this reason, however, I don't really have any heroes.

Things I’ve learned this year (’07-’08)

-- It's remarkable how adaptable people are. You can get used to something so fast, and then the way it used to be baffles you. I can't believe I've complained about 40° weather in Spain when it's p...

Week 15... holy shit, I’m going home!

The title says it all. I'll be in my house, probably sleeping in my bed, 4 days from now. 5 days from now I'll be laying in my grass, eating in my kitchen, using my wireless internet, and, for the s...

Week 14, glimpses at the past and language nerdness

So nothing life-changing exactly happened this week. For the first time since the beginning of March, I stayed in my city all weekend. It was nice to be able to relax and sleep in every day. But, u...

Week 11

It sounds odd, but it’s good to be back in Alcalá, which isn’t home, but it’s more familiar than Santorini or Porto. It’s a nice feeling to sleep in my own bed rather than a h...

Weeks 9 and 10, spring break!

The past couple of weeks have been pretty interesting. It was our spring break, so a few friends and I went to Greece and Portugal. I think the best way to talk about it is to break it up by days.Mond...
