Ohhh man... Here goes. I'm doing this because i'm going to be stuck in a void of human life for 3 weeks imbetween my graduation and summer work, and in this void there's pretty much no human contact. Im kinda stranded in the middle of nowhere, and a friend of mine mentioned this place. I dont tend to sleep very well, so one loong night(right now its 5:35am), i decided why the hell not? And here i am.Now i'm a fairly standard guy, i guess. I dont have any crazy fashions, my hair is the same color its been all my life, no tattoos, no Prince Alberts, no missing limbs... First and foremost, i am an "artist"(put in quotes so i wont have to have another damn arguement about what the term 'artist' really means. Tho i'm not so sure it'll help.). I've drawn all my life, mostly traditional drawings,lots of figurative work, and altho you'll rarely hear em say it i'm pretty damn good. I've been trying to get up a recent project, a graphic novel called Level Zero, and i've been doing massive amounts of backstory to it. Hence my other passion, tho a bit more suppressed. I Do write. I havent written that much but this recent project(about a year scince original conception) has gotten me back to it. Also, i have a newfound love of writing poetry. I'm sure it's all crap but my teach liked it and i liked it so damn it, that's good enough for me. I'm a semi-straightedge, no drugs and such, but i do enjoy the occasional cup of wine or Roman Orange Juice either by myself or with immediate family. I never drink with anyone else(believe me, its a good thing. People always need someone to be sober.). I think i've smoked two cigarettes in the last year, and i dont care for it at all. Funny how that works. I am - egh... - a geek. I know, i know, but i hate to admit it. I love computer games, i can spend hours fixing up my web page, and so on, and so forth. Dont let my scrawny pale white boy look fool you though, i'm not obsessed with it. It's jsut a nice way to vent. I don't sleep well. I dont know, but i figured i might as well put it in... Its sort of like my body likes to be awake for 36 hours then sleep for 10. Which, when you have a schedule based on a 24 hour day, can really screw things up. Basically i stay up all ngiht being bored than suffer all day in a coma-like state. Good fun isnt it? I suppose it's a good thing im not exactly using this to attract women, none of this seems very romantic does it? But if oyu do want romance.... I am a hopeless romantic. I know, everyone says it, but i was told this before i started saying it. I behave by a gentlemans code, and a code of honor(both i got from my father). I open doors for women, friends, and my elders... i don't cheat on tests, exams, surveys, women, anything. Especially women. I hold this to be quite a vile thing, even tho its what guys are supposed to do, apparently. Im the guy that gives the girl i'm with my coat, then clenches my jaw so she can tell im freezing my ass off. I'm the guy who left 3 roses in her mailbox today for no reason. I'm the kinda guy who really does like the idea of curling up togewther in a large chair, and falling asleep while a movie plays or a fire snaps on the logs. Good times, good times. I'm just a typical tall skinny kid, with a love for games, art, and women. What's more to say? Oh, there are more questions? Well, i'll make those shorter then.
