About Me

Look on Amazon for my BOOK!23 year old writer/wage slave. Known for thinking too much, I'm trying to making into main stream publishing with a mix of horror novels, slice of life novels, and a sledgehammer. So far, no dice.All that's really here is a collection of moments that years from now will most likely have me slamming my head against one solid substance or another. Well, they already have me doing that, but it more out for habit right now, really.And remember, when you gaze into the abyss, wave. Sometimes it waves back."Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. Now put your water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put your water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put your water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce LeeOh, and buy m book, damnit!: http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~39438 .aspx

You are Elric of Melnibone! Nobody else really understands you. Hell, most of the time you don't even understand yourself. You've seen your fair share of tragedy and then some, but like the saying goes, "that which does not kill you only makes you stronger". You could care less about society and what most people think. You have serious intimacy issues.

Heroes:

a lot of folks.
You scored as Darth Revan. You are most like Darth Revan. Revan was considered charismatic, confident and a brilliant strategist who bore a strong connection with The Force. Though he fell to the Dark Side, due to several specific actions he undertook as the Dark Lord, some speculate he became the galaxy's greatest villain to protect the Republic from a powerful Sith empire thought long extinct.You train in the lightsaber form Niman X which executes usage of dual lightsabers, an unorthodox style that while difficult to master can easily throw off many opponents.Whether Jedi or Sith, your actions were influential.
