ambivalent dreams

About Me

I'm a little bit of everything. A touch mischevious, rather quiet, i'm very particular about the friends i keep around me, though not in the way most people think. I like real people who can accept me for who i am, and not expect me to be more one way or less another. Who i am changes from day to day. Sometimes i like people. sometimes i hide from them. I have really good phone skills professionally, but good luck getting me to call you. I know how to relax & just enjoy life without complications like too much drama. I value intelligence, respect, and independance. I love kids, though i don't have any (yet). I like working things out on my own. I don't like people telling me that i'm wrong. I like road trips, hiking, and camping. I like looking down from a height, and i don't like falling, but i want to go sky diving....
Favorite Qutoes:
Reality is an illusion, albiet a very persistant one. --Albert Einstein
If we do not find anything pleasant, at least we shall find something new. --Voltaire
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
--Evelyn Beatrice Hall, In Philosophy
If God did not exist, it would be necessary for man to invent him. --Voltair, In Religion
Man is free at the moment he wishes to be. --Voltaire, In Freedom
To do is to be. --Voltaire, In Philosophy
"He who is certain he knows the ending of things when he is only beginning them is extremely wise or foolish; either way, he is certainly an unhappy man, for he has put a knife in the heart of wonder."
oh, and I can get along with everyone. sometimes i just choose not to.

My Interests

Music, reading, gaming, people watching, relaxing, swimming, hiking, camping, oh and sleeping i like sleeping

I'd like to meet:

friends. anyone who shares my interests or activities or lack thereof...

i'm complex, sometimes i even exist on both extremes of a certain trait. i like doing a variety of things, from concerts, to clubbing (very rare), to going to see movies, hiking, camping, reading, video games, and all that... not everyone can deal with that combination of "day life" and "night life"... participation isn't required, but acceptance is. granted, i don't really go wild, but some people can't even deal with the range of things things i do.

i'm an independent person, but i don't want to make the decisions for someone else, and i don't want to be told what to do.

while i don't have a lot of friends, i have a wide variety in that limited amount. introverts, extroverts, drinkers, unique independent artistic people, mixed in with the appearantly normal people who typically describe themselves as geeks.

I'm an athiest. Don't talk to me about your god, and i won't talk to you about how he doesn't exist.

drugs & smoking... i don't do either. and i won't be around drugs... I'll be around smoking on a limited basis, but be prepared to hear about it... damn smokers...

Weekend Crazinesses
