You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant.
Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle.
You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs.
In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.
For you, comfort and calm are very important.
You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection.
You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.
You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.
At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.
You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

My Interests

Roller Derby, Pirates, Boys, Tattoos! Art, especially Street Art and Graffiti, work by Banksy. Like History, Romans & Egyptians as well as the 1920's to 60's I work on canvas in a mix of pastels and acrylic, I enjoy drawing the naked female pin-up style (almost) and I can turn my hand to graffiti and tattoo design. I also adore hotrods and would love to have a Ford Mustang. Any ideas for quirky artwork or tattoo's, just let me know now, d'ya hear! Currently studying the god given art of tattooing
*Randomly asked question 25/02/07: 'Do animals get wrinkles as they get older like people, with laughter lines and everything, or does the fur hide that?
29/03/07: If you bring a kid up talking English but only gave them French books to read, what would happen?
