I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am now and have always been an amalgamation of idiosychrasies. I was taught that to be a truly great person you must acknowledge the complimentary duality of nature, and embrace it. I try each day to be strong without making those around me feel weak; to be vulnerable without feeling that I need a guardian... to just be, and love the fact that I am a part of this amazingly beautiful and tragic process.

Welcome to the party; I keep them small, but it's yours just as much as it's mine. All I ask is that you leave quietly at the end. My neighbors work in the morning.

Rules for wanderers:
If you know me, you know I don't like clutter.
No silly pictures, sounds, animations or movies in the comments
I'm particular about my spaces.
