About Me

Get this widget!

If you really want to know me, you have to ask. And you have to be around me. because I'm random as fuck. I amuse myself sometimes. If you can stand me, you're probably crazy too.

I sit barefoot and cross-legged drinking hot tea. I eat cereal at 3 a.m. I eat like a bird, or some other small herbivore. I often portray myself badly. I'm not quite sure if anyone knows me or not. I am a very shy person. I have goals and I fully intend upon acomplishing them. I am still just a baby. I'm not immature, just naive. Or pseudo-naive. I know how the world works, I just like to pretend that it is all gumdrops and fairytail endings. I am often too nice for my own good. I am trusting. I am me.

Here I stand, I can do no more.

My Interests

I am interrested in anything you can talk about and have a passion about. Nothing great in this world was ever accomplished without passion. If you can make it sound interresting, then I am interrested.

I'd like to meet:

There is this one boy whom I pretty much adore without question.
I guess sometimes, you just need to question things
I want to meet someone whom I can trust. Someone who wants to know everything about me and who will love me completely for exactly who I am, however incomplete I am.

I'd like to meet someone as beautiful as this. . .who can get just as sucked into this as I did. . .

Turmoil, Carnage

Breathing is an easy task. In and out, rhythmically. No thought required, except to stop it. Yet in the end the lungs take over. The diaphragm contracts and air rushes in, sending precious oxygen to t...
