About Me


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?"
I like to eat right, fuck good, and smoke reefer through the pipe. I'm a shape-shifter, and a wanderer. Sometimes inspired, often reckless, rarely cautious. I am picking my way through the wilds of the world, with my mind as my sword, and my words as my armor. I have never gone (and will never go) to church, because I don't believe God exists. I want to learn. I want to discover. I want to grow. I want to see EVERYTHING. I am a runner, a painter, a dancer, a liberal, a smoker, a drinker, a writer, a singer, a pianist, a surfer, a picture-taker, a swimmer, a bilingual, an activist, a critic, a friend, a lover, a human being. I've been a vegetarian for 7 years, and I enjoy animals more than I do people. I believe in the power of peace and adoration. I believe the manifestation, and overall expression, of your personal universe is an ongoing event created by YOU. Soms schrijf ik in Nederlands. I have a tremendously vivid inner world. My outer world isn’t half bad, either.
I believe we should go forward without fear (or, at least, go on in spite of our fear). I'm 90% sarcasm, 6% arrogance, and 4% satire. I consume more than my fair share. And I worry as much as I love, which is a lot. My life isn't particularly exciting, but that's because it's only just begun. I'm mainly planted on the couch, watching prime-time dramas, typically writing or crocheting. I like people with a good sense of themselves, the ability to comprehend outlandish ideas, and a willingness to learn new things. I'm not here to entertain you. I can see though idiots, and I'm quite the pushover, but I'm done with letting you all get away with it. I get attached to people easily. I have a hard time putting my full trust into anyone anymore. I'm not willing to change for anyone.
If you act like you know something, know it. Because if you don't, I will crack on you. This pertains to art, music, life, history, literature. I don't know everything, but I know if you're a lying lowlife. There is no room for hatred, sadness, or dramatics in my life. I hate it when people refuse to hold on to any ounce of dignity and originality that they may have once had. I can easily say that I'm cheap. I have this theory that life is really just a big joke. Here, we are crying over things and working so hard, when we're really supposed to be out dancing in the sun. All I really want out of life is laughter and love. I don't tackle problems the way most others do, and I shout when I'm angry. I keep myself occupied. Sometimes when I'm with my friends and feeling crazy, our antics make me think that Trigger Happy TV should be following us around. I am extremely passionate or completely indifferent - if I care about something/someone at all, I care with all my heart. Otherwise, there's nothing. If there's anything you should know about me it's that when I love you, I love you HARD.
I am considered a "fighting activist", by some. An ass by others. I try my best to be passive and multi-perspective with most things. Like I said, I try. A lot of the time, I upset people by debating too much, or listening too little. I'm a fan of dark humor. I'm a terrible student with a lot of mentality. I have a sharp attitude and I'll tell you how I feel. If it means I make you want to go home and drape yourself by the neck along the laundry line, so be it. I wish could drink 8 glasses of water a day. I'm ambitious as FUCK. I am polite when I have to be, and rarely am I late. Incense is actually the ashes of people who wore too much cologne. I wouldn't mind moving to Europe, but I have this problem called "leaving everything behind". I had a lot of my life already planned out at age 14, which I think is obnoxious. Most of those plans are no longer on my list of priorities.
I don't ever want to reach a point where in my life, good music, good company, and a good buzz won't cheer me up. I have no fear of doing what I need to do to get by in this life. I'm impatient and not easily amused. My CD collection is dwindling. Imagination is key. I'm very comfortable with my body, and overanalyzing is one of my bad habits (of many). My room is really messy right now, and I don’t understand why. I like complex thinking. I'm not flawless, and I accept that. Sex is very important to me, although I don't think it should have to manage relationships like it does. I don't waste my time comparing myself to others, because I'm probably better than them anyway (narcissism is my middle name).
I like pancakes and prescription medicine. I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. You won't get the jokes I make or why I laugh at them, but you'll laugh along because something about happiness is intoxicating and contagious. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. I am very liberal, and I believe in natural rights/protecting liberty and choice of our own. I want to make a difference; I want to change something. I know I'm young, but I have a voice, and I'm going to use it. I'm a reasonable person, but not necessarily a nice one. If you're lucky, you get both.
Who I am eventually comes down to this: I want to have as much fun with as many people as I can manage before I've worn out my welcome here. My life is a winding road. Come walk with me if you'd like.

Quotes "Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky" -- Alan Moore
"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible" -- Frank Zappa
"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom" -- Isaac Asimov
"Maybe this world is another planet’s hell" -- Aldous Huxley
"I feel that life is split into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable" -- Woody Allen
"Don't wreck a sublime chocolate experience by feeling guilty. Chocolate isn't like premarital sex. It won't make you pregnant, and it always feels good" -- Lora Brody
