About Me

Wow, that's an invasive question. Who Am I? Who Am I indeed! How dare you ask such a question. Since you did, however, I will do my best to make amends. I'm 22 and recently graduated with a degree in Theatre, with which I hope to eventually attend a Graduate program (more than likely nowhere near here which is kind of unfortunate but kind of not). In said program I will establish my credentials as a Theatre/Film/VG Sound designer/technician which I will in turn use for the rest of my life...Hopefully. Other than that I'm what you'd expect from a brand new college graduate, Poor, indecisive and just plain jaded. These, friends, are my good qualities. I enjoy playing games (board/card/RP) and I love being with people and talking and taking in situations. Whether that be at a movie or on someone's front porch its all an amazing journey.
Before I move on I must address the fact that Pagan is not a choice on the religions selector. The fact that it has a religions selector at all makes me ill, but they're leaving out somewhere in the neighborhood of a quabillion religions by not allowing you to simply type it in. Therefore, when I put in my religion (Atheist)I was degraded into putting it into such negative terms. I am an Atheist at the very core of it, because in the Greek "A" was to denote someone against and Theist denoted someone believing in a singular godhead typically male whom created/protects/will eventually destroy. Now not to put down Theists, but since we're using such brash and simplistic terms its impossible not to. I would love to put "Atheist - Inclined Toward a Natural Religion" but I just can't do that can I...
