About Me

Also known as iammachine variously online... and Die J Maschinen on the rare occasion that I decide to grace a club with my spinning steez. I am an undergraduate student. I am a geek, I play City of Heroes and LARP Vampire. I love to dance, I love spinning even more, but generally don't have the inclination to deal with the hassles of night life politics. I'm faux pretensious when the mood strikes me. I'm fairly intellectual and down to earth, though I do have my ideals. I am not much of a fan of small talk. I am a painfully honest individual with a biting wit and possess a wide array of interests. I'm generally open though can be quite reserved about certain things, and demand a certain degree of respect while still maintaining a very playful demeanor.

My Interests

music, my cats, deejaying, programming, artificial intelligence, city of crack [heroes], body modification, cayenne pepper, cybernetics, cryogenics, cyberware, bioware, circuit boards, blinky stuff, plastic hair, industrial might, big boots, kinbaku, corsetry, tight lacing, fetish, fashion, shibari, suspensions, bondage, robotics, anime, geisha, b horror, rpg's, intelligent conversation, creativity, leather, modern primitives, liquid latex, mythology, philosophy, culture, fibre optics, geekitude, anything shiny

I'd like to meet:

I'm mostly on here to keep up with the goings on of my friends and regional events, though I do like meeting new and interesting people. I don't add people that I don't know so you'll have to talk to me a bit first and I'll decide if you're someone I'd like to keep in touch with. I'm not here to win a popularity contest of "omg look how long my friends list is!!!111eleven1!!" so I really try to keep my contact list to people I know personally or interact with on a regular basis. I do not add bands, at all, period, ever. Your band is not different nor an exception. If I do not specifically REQUEST to hear you, I will report you for spam. No exceptions. Do Not Spam Me. Period. My Myspace is not your marketing tool. As far as people that I would like to meet, anyone that can hold an intelligent conversation in a respectful manner is someone that I can get along with and would probably like to get to know. However, you get what you give and if you are not respectful to me, and are obviously just hitting on me, well... I won't have the inclination to play very nice, either, and you'll likely be ignored. As for contacting me, I check messages here and use trillian so have access to AIM, Yahoo!, MSN and ICQ. I am rather a private person, however, and will not make my information readily available ... Get to know me and I might be more inclined share. :)

I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know if I’ll be back again

Packing is hard work and serious business. It's one thing to pack for a weekend, or even a week....It's an entirely different story trying to fit your life into 3 suit cases.

my karma ran over my dogma

I'm not sure if I believe in karma per se, or past lives...but if I did, I must have been a real fucking bastard in a past life.

This time of year makes everyone an asshole. I'm officially homeless. The animal that refers to herself as my mother stole my keys, locked me out of the apartment and has essentially put me on the str...

This is how we turn a Molehill into a Mountain

Why is it that whenever I've made what I think is a solid decision, that I get smacked by a cosmic curveball and I'm forced to very likely have my words served to me with ketchup?Mmmm, convictions are...
