I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am constantly prone to dichotomy which tends to keep things interesting. I get in fist fights with frat boys. I spread myself too thin and end up neglecting my friendships, I'm working on getting better at a good balance. (If you are reading this and feel that it pertains to you...forgive me!)I tend to enjoy the company of dogs, cats, horses, meerkats and wildebeasts over most people. I guess I kind of sound misanthropic. Maybe sometimes.I can't stand to see any living thing suffer. I save spiders from the shower which is sometimes a very arduous drawn out delicate process that makes me late to work.I am not going to add you if I don't know you and you don't at least attempt to acquaint yourself with me through some sort of correspondence. I'm not validated or gratified by collecting people and seeing my "# of friends" grow. I'd rather concentrate on my friendships outside of cyberspace. Never enough time for that as it is. In general, I think myspace is kind of a weird, shallow sociological phenomenon, but I guess for now, I think of it as the world's largest round of cyber hokey pokey...oh yes and tramplestiltskin collection.
