Credo ut Intelligam

About Me

I find that a person really gets to know me when they call me weird. I'm pretty sure that it's not a bad weird though so rest easy. I am laconic at times and enjoy peoples company. I also enjoy music greatly... that's not necessarily "who I am", but I figure that I love it so much that it nearly is part of the definition of me. I like having new experiences and adventures, but for the most part am content to stay at home with a friend and "chill" (I can be very laid back at times).
You Have A Type B+ Personality
B+ You're a pro at going with the flow. You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer. A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity. Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done. You're passionate - just selective about your passions.

My Interests

Collecting/listening to music, taking naps in random places (only when tired), hanging out with friends, watching good movies, playing guitar. This may seem rather random, but I like skipping rocks. Sadly, I rarely get the opportunity. I also like that feeling after I finish a good book. I plan on traveling. I love camp fires. I haven't met a soul that doesn't at least somewhat enjoy this, but I like clothes fresh out of the dryer on a cold day (sigh... how very banal). I like fog. I enjoy intellectual stimulation augmented with good conversation. I like driving with friends when we have nowhere to go. I like a good strategy boardgame on a lazy day (despite the fact that I don't win all the time). I like laughing until I ache. My favorite meal of the day is lunch. I like the open road. I like watching snow fall at night (I'm not too fond of driving in it, however).There you have it.

O, comfort lost.

As I sit here alone. Utterly alone in a dark room solely lit by the bluish glow of the moon through dreary clouds, I ponder things that have never crossed my mind before. A great melancholy weaves thr...

Ethereal Razzmatazz

That sounds funny... if you can come up with a succinct definition of what that is I will be quite impressed... like a quiet empress... or the kite express. (oh man)

Neither Earth nor SkyThere is a song,which throbs with nostalgia.I can taste the melody on my tongue.Chords resonate sweetly like honey in my mouthas they begin to roll through my veins and slow my he...

Alas!

I just wrote a VERY long entry, but but I was stupid and pushed back when I was previewing it and it vanished into nothingness. It was hilarious, evocative, thoughtful, passionate and informed... ...
