About Me

I am is are Henry, an artsy gamer hippy guy living in a quaint little city wedged gently between nowhere and boring.
There's an artsy gamer hippy gal living just over the horizon that I dare say I'll marry some day, as soon as opportunity presents itself.
If I'm not busy consuming my daily fill of tacos or talking to my Honi-Honi you'll probably find me hidden behind the exotic dual-screen glow of my Nintendo DS Lite, or I might be at my computer NOT looking at pictures of shaven mountain goats.
I may also be painting fantasy miniatures or reading, or you know, doing something else. Hey, I'm allowed to do more than four things. This isn't Pokemon, y'know.
If you're curious to know lots of odd facts about me, check out the Obscure Block a few panes down.
If you're interested in my, er... interests, or something, well, it's all slathered in the list on the left over there. Ain't that weird, though? I mean, come on. Interests on the LEFT? Who designs these things?
Story resources:
Chances are if you've known me long enough you at least know OF the fact I concoct fictional goodness. If you've been exposed to any of my art chances are you've already tasted of these imaginary fruits... WITH YOUR EYES. And you never knew your eyes could taste, now did you?
I've found the blog here helps me collect my thoughts, so I post whatever story material I can. This is generally visible by only me, unless I specifically decide you can also read them (Preferred List). If you can't access them, don't be offended, it's just a privacy factor.

My Interests

I enjoy all things artistic. Over time I have dabbled in many different mediums to best express my thoughts and ideas. Examples would include 3D Rendering, Animation, Computer Programming, Drawing, Graphic Design, Painting, Photography, Sculpting, Story Writing, etc...

Roleplaying is a big interest of mine. I finally have a regularly running group for Dungeons and Dragons. I play a Fighter, alongside my party of a Cleric, Sorcerer, and Druid.

I likes the critters. So, of course, I have plenty of animals. Check the next section for a list if you're interested...

Thar be things I's prone to collect. Good examples are: Dice Sets, Batmobiles, Gourmet Vinegar Bottles, Unusual Spoons, Blue Rocks (opals), Turtle Related Things, Willow Teasets, Interesting Little Cats, 80's Cartoon Figurines, Occasional Anime Figurines, etc...

Quotes from the 24th and a half century:
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
~ Dr. Seuss
"When I die, I want to be buried face down. That way, anyone who doesn't like me... can kiss my ass."
~ Red Foreman
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
~ Calvin Coolidge
"Can I say, 'I wish that this weather would never leave'? ...It just gets hard to believe that God sent this angel to watch over me. Cause my angel ...she don't receive my calls. She says, 'You're too dumb to f@#$, too dumb to fight. Too dumb to save.' Well maybe I don't need no angel at all." ~ Adam Duritz
"Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserveres. Love never fails."
~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture in the face of such an ordinary girl."
~ Counting Crows
"The reason the horizon shines is that somewhere it's hiding you."
~ Laputa: The Castle in the Sky

The block of obscure Henry facts:
I find the Atlantic Ocean a fascinating metaphor. I'm left-handed. My heart belongs to this lovely lady . I like candles. I long to walk through the untamed wildernesses of yore. I'm clingy. My colors are red (exciting) and green (relaxing). Children apparently love me. I have anxiety when feeling trapped and avoid lock-ins, middle seats, etc. White chocolate is better. Vanilla icecream is too. I save change. I'm one of those artsy types. I likes cats and turtles and everything in-between . I want a penguin. I'm told I'm a bit of a girl. I own a bottle of Orbitz. The more sorceries I cast, the more I Magnivore ! I hate conflict. I hold no grudges toward anyone. I'm absurdly optimistic. I think pessimists are weird. I like to be unique. I believe love is the strongest power in the universe. I'd be the friend of my worst enemy. I have the curse of prophecy. I'm always exploring spiritual things. Hazelnuts taste the best. I don't do drugs, drink, smoke, or lead a promiscuous lifestyle. Some people consider me boring because of the previous sentence. I love lateral thinking and intellectual debate. I'm kookoo for coconuts. I'm a poster-boy Libra . I'm open-minded about just about everything. I like pie (pumpkin, apple, pecan). I'm smrt. I learn very quickly. I'm woefully absentminded. I think pinecones are neat. I like nekogirls way more than I should. Sports have never interested me. Unless the sports involve chasing nekogirls. Give me german chocolate cake. You can never have too many Kougras. Mutsumi Naru . All Hunter, all the time. I don't understand why people can't grasp forgiveness. The smell of bread intoxicates me. For some reason I love virtual fishing. I've never really enjoyed real fishing. I've always been told I'm unusually warm. My body temperature is always 1 degree below normal. My range of vocalization frightens people. Carrotcake is the ultimate bribe. We are Siamese if you don't please. I absolutely love snow and cold weather. Bards rule.

My meaningful lyrics of the day:
Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines,
With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And I don't know if I've ever felt so alive, alive
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want a heart that I know is beating,
It's beating, I'm bleeding.
