About Me

I love horror and things of the dark side. When I say I want to decorate for Halloween, the rejoinder is “How? The house looks like that all the time.” I’ve spent the last few years finding out more about who I am and what I want out of my life - I’m happy with the results so far and intend on keeping an open mind and flexibility of spirit. I’ve discovered it’s all right to be who I am, like the things I like and like the things I do.
I'm here to find people who are into horror, goth, books, comics, films and heavy metal. If you send me a request to be added as one of my friends, I'll warn you now: If I look at your profile and we have no common interests, I will not add you. I also expect the people who ask to be added to interact with me. Being able to carry on a halfway intelligent conversation is a plus with me. Send me a message and let's get a dialogue going; I like to visit. Ask, and I'll give you my messenger IDs for AIM and/or Yahoo.

As for classical music, I have discovered that the period of Classical music history I prefer is the Baroque period. Specifically, I enjoy Mozart and any recording of Holst‘s The Planets. I find that unlike other types of music, Classical most often has the power to make me break out in goosebumps and to cry...
