I am here for Friends

About Me

I yearn to be compelled by the unwavering intensity of desire. ..

My Interests

loving; reading; learning; playing; listening; writing; striving; feeling; hoping; being

I'd like to meet:

joan of arc; tori amos; the real you

Music:

music is life - live it up. it washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.music is my refuge - poetry of the air.

Movies:

films (independent, foreign, etc) are far superior to "movies" -- I love lots, but in general it has to be a consuming experience or I don't think it's worth it - I'd rather read

Television:

Lost, sometimes adult swim -- but t.v. is da debil

Books:

literature is a large part of who I am; narrative, perspective, insight.. be cool, stay in school! haha

Heroes:

the way, the truth, the life

And if you live by the cosmos, you look in the cosmos for your clue. If you live by a personal god, you pray to him. If you are rational, you think things over. But it all amounts to the same thing in...

May I write words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve.

angle
