About Me

Statement of self: I'm a pirate. Therefore, I detest ninjas.
I am rather antisocial and a quite sarcastic, with a penchant for evil. I don't have much patience for imbeciles or ingrates. I like the colour green, prefer felines to canines, and have a slight obsession with crab rangoon. I have a B.S. in Biology and have no qualms about spending the night in a tree or chasing some critter through rough terrain in harsh conditions. I spend entirely too much time online, either chatting on AIM or being an abusive IRC @sshole (if you don't get it, move along) on various servers and channels. I have a xanga which I update on a fairly regular basis if anybody's interested in spying on my life at leisure...without risking the loss of life or limb.

In order to feed my already inflated ego, I requested some input for this damned "About Me". The result follows:
"A beautiful woman that tends to drive men a bit insane. Tasteful conversationalist who is not timid is stating the truth of how she feels. Fiercely loyal to those she cares about and deathly blunt to those she doesn't. The Amber is a specimen without equal. One that should be cherished. However, care must be taken to avoid addiction (or infatuation as the case may be). She is the kind of woman that you are happy to take home to mom. The quintessential "Keeper", as it were." -- Matt S...

My Interests

Napping. Feeding my internet addiction. Moving to random countries. Corrupting the youth of today, thus destroying the future of tomorrow.
Anything outdoors with an adrenaline rush attached: hiking, camping, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, repelling, ziplines, biking, skydiving, spelunking, etc... Yes, I've done those things, so quit asking...otherwise, would they be an interest?
I adopted a cute lil' pirate fetus from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!

I'd like to meet:

Genuinely interesting people. Nerds (this implies intelligence). Fellow pirates. Those dedicated to their passions, not because its what they should do or what others expect of them, but because it is their very essence and they thrive upon it. People who know what its like to laugh until it hurts and can make me do the same; laughter derived from purely innocent entertainment, not the joy that is created from anothers pain.


You know who you are. ;)

Music:

I have extremely diverse taste in music, leaning towards rock, techno, j-pop, and metal, of various sorts.
Liquid Amber, Orange Range, Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse, Alien Ant Farm, Incubus, Rammstein, Infernal, Guanako, Daft Punk, Carbon Leaf, Ganzer, Black Dahlia Murder, Celtic Frost, OK Go, Hammerfall, Flametal, Autlaw, Blutstahl, Zeronic, Mortician, Seltsam, Falconer, Rob Zombie, Snoozebox, The Virus, BC76, Cradle of Filth, A Perfect Circle, Covenant, etc...

Movies:

Comedy. Sci-Fi. Cartoons.
Sin City, Sleeping Beauty, X-Men (I and II), The Incredibles, The Pest, Hidalgo, Secondhand Lions, Chicken Run, Atlantis, Dogma, Sinbad Legend of the Lost Sea, The Brave Little Toaster, GATTACA, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Goonies, Taking Lives, Runaway Jury, Mystic River, Secret Window, Muppet Treasure Island, Lord of the Rings, Brother Bear, E.T., Quest for Camelot, John Q, Vampire Hunter D; Bloodlust, LOTR, The Land Before Time (all of them...and there are certainly a lot), All Dogs Go To Heaven, Carebears, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Teenage Mutant PIRATE Turtles, The Matrix, Corpse Bride, Chicken Little, Chicken Run, Ocean's 11, Amelie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Finding Nemo, The Last Unicorn, Shrek (I and II), Hook, Office Space, Fight Club, Madagascar, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc...

Television:

I don't really watch all that much TV, but when I do...Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and CARTOONS! Family Guy, Invader Zim, Futurama, The Simpsons, Gummi Bears, and any other nostalgic 80s shows from my childhood or random crap from AdultSwim.

Books:

I prefer sci-fi and fantasy -- Spindle's End, The Mists of Avalon, The City of the Beasts, Howling Mad, The Master and Margarita, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Metamorphosis, A Rose for Emily (short story), The Outlaws of Sherwood, The Green Mile, The Sword of Truth series, anything by Piers Anthony, Isaac Asimov, Nathaniel Hawthorne, or Robert Frost (It's poetry, I know, but still exceptional reading). I tend to lean towards classic literature as well. There's nothing wrong with Shakespeare! =)Okay, so I'll read anything...literally. Even text books just for the fun of it. -_-

Heroes:

Scientists. Pirates. Anybody that can stand on their own two feet and face the world with a strong head and the determination to succeed, refusing to let anything get in their way (R.I.P. Kelsey Ann Groseclose. 13 December 1987 to 6 June 2006.). Cat Lady. =^_^=Combine the attributes of each and you'll find what I strive to become...namely the Cat Lady...just throw in an eyepatch and a few odd obsessions (like speaking German and playing with chemicals).

Random info, albeit overused and pointless.

Sadly, I'd been looking for one of these to waste my time on and it just so happened that one of my associates posted it in her xanga.  Therefore, here goes nothing!  =) 1.What time is it? ...
