I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I believe there are 11 kinds of people in this world, those who know binary (and can't count), and those who don't. I believe that the power of cheese ought to be regulated by checks and balances. I believe that all cats are black in the dark.

One day I am going found a religion, much like L. Ron "Elron" Hubbard and Scientology, only better and cheaper. Join me now, when you can still get in on the ground floor. Would you like to be a priest, a deacon, an acolyte? Would you like to listen to the sinful confessions of hormone-laden schoolgirls (and schoolboys)? Would you like to be a powerful authority figure before your very own flock of thousands? Would you like the ability to invoke the wrath of God, or the gods, or whatever we choose to believe in, on a whim? Join me today!
