I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

People have a tendency to say they find me slightly intimidating, but what many may be surprised to discover is that behind my hard, opaque exterior I'm actually filled with a soft, creamy nougat. I am nothing if not a gentleman and a scholar.

"Even though the road ahead looks fraught with trials and tribulations, I can't help but be overtaken by a inexplicable jubilation today. It's good to be alive. It's good to persevere.
I want a life filled with blood, and laughter, and fucking, and good food, and all the chaotic, boisterous din of human existence."

My Interests

writing/literature, photography, indulging my japanophilia, applied arts, traveling the world, showing my love through cooking, psychology of personality, gender deconstruction, body modification, Eddie Izzard, coping with my quarter-life crisis by engaging in a myriad of "self-exploration" activities

Grabbing his hand and pressing it to her bosom, she stared into his eyes and whispered tenderly, "I can't wait to start a tepid, uninspired romance with you."
