I am here for Friends

About Me

I will try anything once - I probably already have. I have found that our experiences are limited only by our own attitudes.
It annoys me when people perceive the word "student" with a negative connotation. I find myself in the student catagory frequently. By the time I reach advanced status, I usually move on to something new.

??Which colour of Death is yours??
BLUE
Take this quiz !

My Interests

Aviation - I love anything that flies.

Boats - Although I love to ski, I prefer sailboats.

Skydiving - It has been several years since I have gone regularly, I really need to get back.

Skiing/snowboarding, hockey, soccer, running, kayaking, bicycling.

I got into rock climbing for a while, but had to give it up due to lack of interest amongst my "freinds". (This is not a sport that is wise to do solo)

I love Gothic clubs although I am not particularly Gothic.

I'd like to meet:

I like a person who likes what they do. I don't care whether it is skydiving or needlepoint. The point is that they spend their time doing what they want to do instead of wishing they did more.

Music:

Whatever happens to catch my ear at the time. I like everything from garage bands to glam rock. I make no appologies.

Movies:

Mostly comedies. There are enough fucked up things happening in the real world, I don't need to watch them for entertainment. If I do, I will turn on the news.

Television:

I must confess I choose what I watch based on the attractiveness of the leading lady. Hey, I can be shallow at times.

Books:

Children of the night. I am not big into vampire books, but this one had an unusual spin. I am not talking about unusual like "Blade" I am talking about philosophical unusual. Angels and Demons, Da Vinci Code. Two excellent books I just finished reading. I am really getting sick of all the hype though. This is not biblical history, this is just an artist thumbing his nose at the church.
