I am who I am, no masks, nothing more, nothing less. How do you explain yourself? What I know of myself and what I've been told, I guess.
I am chivalrous in an age of grey social equality that isn't, and I have honour. I do not lie, and you ask anyone who knows me if you doubt my word. I keep my word if truly given. I'm extremely open minded as well.
I always think about things carefully before making a decision, so I make the right one and don't fuck up my life - or other people's. I look at everything from all angles possible first, as mine isn't the only valid viewpoint. I'm usually the person everyone comes to for advice or to talk, but I dont' have any one person like that for me, so I talk to everyone! they all have valid viewpoints.
Life is about balance. You can balance all the hurt with all the laughter, and neither think too much nor feel too much. When your heart is right and you feel something, and your head is right and you think something, then your soul will be right, and you know something. If you get that it rarely lets you down - but people are very good at fooling themselves...
At the same time, I don't take life too seriously in most ways - if there's a gathering I'm at the heart of it, dancing, being an idiot, making my friends laugh. I have a very fun side with humour ranging from intelligent dry wit to downright crude and childish. Sarcasm rules! I can find something to laugh at in most situations. I try not to be nasty to people even if they deserve it because I can't help OWNING them.
I believe in God in my own way, and have highly spiritual and individual, well thought out beliefs. I am NOT religious. All religions have some validity - we just call God different names. This is a biiig subject, be warned if you talk about it to me!
Most of my friends are constantly amazed, amused, distraught or upset or a combination thereof over my reknowned bad luck in pretty much everything. It is usually quite ironic and quite funny in a way (if I didn't laugh I'd cry) - let's just say that like all challenges in life, it pushes you to evolve into a stronger person. Even people who don't believe in bad luck often comment on mine! :s
I love to dance in my own unique way, it all flows on the spot and usually involves martial arts and moving everything - has to be PERFECTLY on the beat though. I'm not the best dancer around, but I'm not the worst either :P and I'm certainly easy to spot.
I've been told I'm respected and trusted by pretty most of the people who know me, which is a big honour. In a lot of ways my friends, and family in a different way, are an integral part of my life.
I love martial arts, and although I'm not the level I used to be, I train in traditional Kung Fu, Chen T'ai Chi and Wing Chun Kung Fu about 10 hours a week. I'm pretty tough in general and retain a fair amount of skill, tho Kung Fu isn't instinctive yet, I've only been doing it a few months. I love weapon fighting as well... but one thing I don't like is violence and pointless fighting. I think I'm better known for stopping fights. I don't want to hurt anyone, and I certainly don't want to get hurt for no reason either - but I would give my life for those I love, and regret not one second of that decision.
I don't ever really lose my temper - occasionally I get annoyed for a very short space but then life goes on, and it's usually pretty low key. There are things that irritate me - unfairness, cheating, racism, all the weak minded bullshit that people develop as a personal support against their own shortcomings.
A lot of places I go, I know everyone and everyone knows me (I've often been going there a long time :P). I rarely go anywhere without knowing a lot of the people there, and that's fine with me - when I was young I was never part of anything and I was lonely. Now I still don't belong to any one group... but I know many groups, and as groups don't talk to each other but people do, I know a LOT of people! A weakness of childhood is a strength in adulthood.
Hmm, what else...
† I know I'm intelligent. This is not always an asset, trust me.
† I never lie. To anyone. Ask anyone who knows me if you doubt it
† Music moves my soul.
† I love Star Wars and that kinda thing
† I can run 4.2 miles in 26 minutes! Barefoot!
† I drive a Supra, my baby can do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and 186 mph. WHEN she works.
† I like even numbers, preferably in multiples of 2, 12, 24... odd numbers make me feel uncomfortable.

† I wish I could project my thoughts/feeling so others would UNDERSTAND
† I'm very empathic, and more sensitive than people realise.
† I'm always there if people really need me - even if they aren't always back
† I have a lot of heart. Enough for everyone I know :)
† I wish I really was as popular and respected as some people say
† I wish I was a better person sometimes, but no one's perfect.
Sometimes I feel so happy my heart will burst; sometimes so sad I think it will break. Treasure these when they happen, you are never more truly alive than at these moments.
I also actually in the flesh know or have met almost everyone on my friends list - if people want to join it, they can ASK not just add me. No msg? Prepare for disappointment. RANDOM BANDS, THIS INCLUDES YOU!

These things are for lesser men.
Protect the weak against the evil strong.
And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.
Never back away from an enemy.
Either fight or surrender.
It is not enough to say I will not be evil.
Evil must be fought wherever it is found."
