DECLARE INDEPENDENCE!

I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Reggie but if youre my friend, call me Mister Strange. Lets see... I love adventure and exploring. Also, I enjoy making sarcastic remarks, reading, writing music (Cabaret, Dark Electronica, Metal) on my super-retro Yamaha, and learning about obscure topics! If you notice me paying slightly more attention to you than usual and giving you coy smiles, thats my odd way of expressing interest in you. Often, people think Im flirting when I say nice things, give hugs, or become affectionate -- this is NOT the case. Seriously, people, Ive had too many instances of mistaken flirting for it to be funny anymore.

My Interests

RomantiGoth, writing music, straightedge, the 1920s, Cabaret culture, the 1980s, New Romanticism, cynicism, expanding my musical horizons with bands most people my age will never hear, wearing suspenders, reading classic novels, reading modern fantasy, foreign cultures, music, and film, Roleplaying, Thrillers, gluttony, black and white photography, fantasy.

I'd like to meet:

A section for who I would NOT like to meet would probably be more interesting. Hmmm. Id like to meet someone who can teach me how to write music as well as I write words. Id like to meet more kindred spirits (theyre VERY rare to find when you dont follow the herd). Marilyn Manson because I adore his music and we would have fascinating conversations. Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, Myself, Bjork, Henri-Marie-Raymond Toulouse Lautrec, Albert Camus, Oscar Wilde, Scott Joplin, Lewis Carroll, Amy Lee, Omega (pronounced Oh-mee-gah), Dita Von Teese, Alfred Hitchcock, Depeche Mode.

Music:

Music... It used to be special. It used to mean something. Todays mainstream artists have become a plastic, predictable product, created for easy digestion. Ive carefully chosen the artists that Ive put in this section.. Theyre all artists or bands that I feel offer something that the mainstream masses, particularly my generation, needs to hear to really Know good music and good art. Depeche Mode, The Dresden Dolls, Marilyn Manson (his old stuff more than his more recent works), Daft Punk, 1920s Jazz, Dave Gahan, System Of A Down, Myself, Utada, Freezepop, Alanis Morissette, The Cure, Radiohead, Bjork.

Movies:

The Purple Rose Of Cairo, Metropolis, My Fair Lady, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Chicago, Young Frankenstein, The Harry Potter Series, Office Space, The Ringu Series, Audition, King Kong, The Others, Signs, Little Miss Sunshine, Alice In Wonderland, Carrie

Heroes:
