My Interests

Reading and Writing (I am a screenwriter, after all.). Computers, The Internet, Video Games, Digital Editing and DV (Digital Video), and Life in general.
You Are 66% Evil
You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot. How Evil Are You?
You Are Somewhat Machiavellian
You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...
But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.
You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to! How Machiavellian Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who's cool and drama-free and to meet some good friends here as well, male or female (Especially female. {wink}). Also, to hook up w/ people in the movie biz (either producers, writers, actors, actresses, etc...) to start production on some film projects.
