About Me

I am fond of vomiting from being too drunk, and for recreational purposes. My favorite state of mind is speeding and drunk. I prefer it to being sober. I am fed up with life, most of the people around me, the principles and practices of society, human nature, obliviousness, and hipocracy. I dislike, but appreciate irony. I am fascinated by flaws, perfection, space, music, the brain, existance, reality, delusions, dreams, conciousness, experience, emotions, and expression. I am complacent with receiving bad grades, but I am well-educated. I am interested to observe the dynamics of abstract online communites such as myspace.com. I want to see how many people will continue reading past the first couple sentences of this paragraph, and be genuinely interested in what follows them, only to find out that half of it is not true.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone to put my cigarettes out on. Someone who hasn't showered since September 23rd. Someone who can live for days off of the plaque between their teeth. Someone who realizes how stupid they are. Someone who has been humbled by intense life experiences. Someone who embraces pain, hate, discomfort, and passion as old friends.
