We make it harder than it has to be

About Me

I am the self-styled Iron Hippie.
I aspire to play guitar like Jerry Garcia and I want to sing like David Bowie.
If for whatever reason you insist on knowing more, read on if you want to be bored to tears by the sheer amount of text I wrote a few months ago:
I have a number of interests, some of which I am more commited to than others. I play guitar, and though I'm still a novice practice is allowing me to develop fairly steadily. I am obsessed with any number of games, the three most prominant ones being WarCraft II, Magic: the Gathering, and Dungeons and Dragons. I also have an affinity for fighting; people need to cease being so unreasonably afraid of pain. I used to take a martial arts class to compliment this interest, but school and work got in the way. When I have time I'm sure I'll return to it.
I have a flippant few of things, and I have an inherently antithetical personallity. I will as often speak without thinking as I will contemplate thoughts for hours before choosing to vocalize them. I have a good hold of my temper, but emotions naturally fluctuate. My mood ebbs and flows from pensive to outright boistrous. My ego causes clusters of galaxies to appear microscopic by comparison. I'm just that important.
As far as how I behave in a social setting, you'd have to know me. In interacting with other people, my perception of other people is generally what guides my attitude. In simpler terms, if I think you're a jerk or an idiot, I won't be nice to you. In fact, I will probably think up previously unused insults for the sole purpose of putting you down. And naturally, it will go downhill from there if inclinations escalate.
