About Me

This profile is inactive, I don't use MySpace much anymore. If you need to get ahold of me you can still msg me here and it will notify me. Don't hesitate to do so, I still want to hear from you all.

Poems and quotes for you.
There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
-Oscar Wilde
Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something.
-Last words of Pancho Villa
Where there is love, there is pain.
-Spanish Proverb
They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
-Edgar Allan Poe
The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
-Eden Phillpots
In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.
-Harry Lime
Rough wind, that moanest loud
Greif too sad for song;
Wild winds, when sullen cloud
Knells all the night long;
Sad storm, whose tears are vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main,
Wail, for the world's wrong!
A Dirge -Shelley
Sonnet XVII
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
-Pablo Neruda

I'd like to meet:

I collect interesting individuals. Only the bored (who are usually boring) are exempt from my attention!

Music:

Completely depends on the moment. Generally speaking I love anything musical. Lately it's been running more towards adult alternative (no I'm not old. :)) and lesbian folk rock.

And country.

...shut up I don't want to hear it.

Television:

I'm not big on TV. I would much rather read, or watch movies, or putter around on the computer or well...almost anything. But I do have a couple of shows I like, I loved The West Wing, and I enjoy Greys Anatomy. Oh, and Eureka on Sci Fi is great. Mostly I like anything that is smart funny.
