I am here for Friends

About Me


I have a passion for music, a love for all types of art, a deep respect for animals and nature, and a tendency for escapism (without the use of hard drugs!).
I am not ego-centered & I'm not concerned about social status.
I don't care for corporate-produced mainstream culture or our society's established values because I think it's all wrong in how they promote superficiality, egotism, and ignorance. We need to be more heart-centered, spreading universal love and respect, and less about the ego.
I am a very right-brained, artistic-minded person. I don't inhibit myself with the conventions of mainstream society, my ethnicity, nationality, gender, and whatever else might get in the way of my enjoyment of life and pursuit of the things that interest me.
I don't fit the stereotype of my ethnicity. I think life's too short to remain trapped in any one culture and/or style. I consider myself a "world citizen."
I'm not a conformist, and neither do I conform to the "nonconformists."
I'm into a wide variety of things. I march to the beat of my own drum.
I have a very active and vivid imagination.
I'm always hearing music in my head.
I'm highly intuitive, sensitive, and empathic.
What I care about most is gaining knowledge and wisdom, learning about and experiencing the world and its different cultures, truth-seeking, and appreciating the little things that make life beautiful in spite of all the pain and negativity. I believe that everything happens for a reason, good or bad, to test our spirit and help us to continually grow and improve ourselves.
The three things I value most are truth, love, and art.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



People that are more
heart-centered than ego-centered,
have similar music taste,
love nature,
love art,
think deeply,
enjoy learning new things,
and haven't lost their sense of wonder.

"Before the beginning of great brilliance and beauty, there first must be a period of complete chaos." - I-Ching
"It is the path of least resistance that makes rivers and men crooked." - Bj Palmer
"Conventional people are roused to fury by departures from convention, largely because they regard such departures as a criticism of themselves." - Bertrand Russell

You are a Believer. Whether it be religious or just your ethics and morals. You believe that heart breaks and injuries are just another part of life. Everything can be overcome if you believe in yourself and in your life.

You scored as Cultural Creative
Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

You Are 74% Indie

You're a very indie person, and admit it, you look down a little on people who strive to be normal.
You'll indulge in a little mainstream pop culture every now and then. But for you, anything not indie is a guilty pleasure!
You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.
You Are 72% Open Minded

You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.
You scored as Mermaid

Mermaids are also known as Sirens. These creatures were beautiful women who tricked sailors into becoming completely entranced by their haunting voices and found death soon after. Not all stories of Mermaids are about gentle loving sea people. They are mystical, magical, and extremely dangerous. They have a way about them that brings anyone they are around to seem enchanted. They are very mysterious creatures and to meet one... Would mean certain Death. Let the song of the Sea fill your soul, for you are a Mermaid.
