I am here for Friends

About Me


Yes, I'm *still* in college. However, if I stop procrastinating, looks like I'll be able to graduate in April 2008. Then (miracle of miracle) I'll have my degree in English. So what will I do with it you ask me? Good question. I have no idea. I'm a focused individual, can’t you tell? Lloyd Dobler from the movie Say Anything sums up what I don't want to do: "I don't want to buy anything, sell anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that." Great quote!
My absolute favorite thing to do in this world is to stretch out on my couch and watch movies, or stretch out on my couch and read. I adore going to the movies alone and finding that I am the only one in the theater (it’s like your own private screening). It’s safe to say I’m a bit of a solitude junkie, but every once in awhile I’ll pop out into the real world to say “hi”…
I know this will contradict what I just said about myself, but I do love to travel. Although, lately it’s mainly just to visit friends and family who are scattered all over the place. I do live alone in an apartment for about seven years now. I love it. No pets, I did have cats but they are living with my mother. I visit.
You Are An INFP
The Idealist
You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world. Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships. It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close. But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.
In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards. You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.
At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values. You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.
How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual
When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak What's Your Personality Type?
Your Expression Number is 7
Very intelligent, you are usually thinking, introspecting, or analyzing. You have a good mind, and you are especially good at finding out the truth.Very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding.
You tend to obsess over wisdom and hidden truths. You are likely to become a authority on any subject you undertake. Operating on a different wavelength, most people don't know you that well.
No other number likes so much time alone. They actually prefer to be alone with their books and computer so they can study the “soul” in all things. Nothing is ever accepted at face value. All must be scrutinized; they will not be satisfied until they find a way to link the known to the unknown.

My Interests


Solitude, Thunderstorms, Numerology, Chinese Astrology, writing, movies, reading, traveling, food (I do love food) cleaning (I know, weird interest, perhaps it's a compulsion, not an interest)Dream interpretation, feng shui, internet surfing, music, sleeping, sloth, most anything macabre, long drives at night, and long and deep philosophical discussions on spirituality, occult, and the meaning of life and as well as death. Weird news. I'm fascinated by Hollywood of the 40-50’s era. I find Asian culture also fascinating. I love the theater, museums, and art. I simply adore bubble baths in tubs that are deep and freakishly clean. Oh, and I really, really hate roaches, more than spiders, more than snakes. I mean it, I don't like them, they freak me out.

I'd like to meet:


Your Personality Profile
You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs.

For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.
Your Hidden Talent
You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system. And while this may not seem big, it can be. It's people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes. You're just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices.

You Are a Night Person
For you, there's nothing worse than having to get up and moving early. In fact, you probably don't hit your peak until well after the sun has set. So if your struggling to make it on a normal schedule, realize it's not your fault. You just weren't meant to do anything during the day!

You Were Born Under:
Sheep, goat or rams (as they are sometimes called) like to set their own hours and will not tolerate too much discipline. They are also very offended if they are criticized. They cannot work well under pressure and must be allowed to do things at their own speed. They need somebody to discipline them in order to utilize their talents. They usually find someone to look after and care for them.

They are gentle and have the spirit of sacrificing themselves for benevolence. Their characters are gentle externally, but firm internally, and are trustworthy due to their discreteness. They are subjective and stubborn and prefer a mysterious atmosphere. They have strong desire of seeking knowledge. They are kind to others, love nature, and have noble and generous appearance. .

You are most compatible with a Pig or Rabbit. But you have trouble with the rat, ox, dog, and rooster.

Heroes:

The amazing, sharp tongued, Julia Sugarbaker
"Suzanne, if sex were fast food, there'd be an arch over your bed!"
Suzanne: "Where are our seats?"
Julia: "I don't know. If history teaches us anything, mine will be next to a baby who smokes."
"My father used to propose toasts all the time, so here it goes: Here's to the ones that wish us well and those who don't can go to hell!
"All right. That's it. Now you listen to me, and you listen good. We have had just about as much of you people as we gonna take. I don't know what glacier you stepped out of, but my advice to you is to take yourself and your three slack-jawed sons down to the nearest mental health clinic."
"But then again, I suppose in my heart I always knew that someday we would end up like this. I mean, well, it's kind of fitting isn't it? Here we are going down the highway into the dark Georgia night. Four aging Southern belles --- war-torn hair, dirty faces --- a nanny, a baby, and a crippled black man."
"In general it has been the men who have done the raping and the robbing and the killing and the war-mongering for the last two thousand years.... and it's been the men who have done the pillaging and the beheading and the subjecating of whole races into slavery. It has been the men who have done the law making and the money making and the most of the mischief making! So if the world isn't quite what you had in mind you have only yourselves to thank!"
"I'm saying this is the South. And we're proud of our crazy people. We don't hide them up in the attic. We bring 'em right down to the living room and show 'em off. See, no one in the South ever asks if you have crazy people in your family. They just ask what side they're on."
"You're the guy who is always wherever women gather or try to be alone. You want to eat with us when we're dining in hotels, you want to know if the book we're reading is any good, or if you can keep us company on the plane. And I want to thank you, Ray Don, on behalf of all the women in the world, for your unfailing attention and concern. But read my lips and remember, as hard as it is to believe, sometimes we like talking just to each other, and sometimes we like just being alone."
