About Me

I've been called a lot of things; strange, weird, insane, crazy. I see a trend here, and you know, it doesn't bother me in the least.
I've been surrounded by death for the last half of my life; working at a mortuary has to have something to do with it. Although I have my embalmer's license, it's been years since I've embalmed, too messy. Restorative art and cosmetics are my specialties. Missing a face? I can rebuild it.
I've fallen in love with ink and I do a bit of writing as well.
I live in California, and although I dislike it, bordering on hate, I can't seem to tear myself away since most of my family and friends live here. I'm very loyal when it comes to these people and will do just about anything for them.
I've enjoyed my time on myspace to date, although I could do without all the ads and spam, I've met a lot of interesting and great people.

My Interests

Includes, but not limited to; art, creative writing, music, reading, tattoos, piercings, astrology, death, life...

I'd like to meet:

I haven't decided yet...but I can explain, in short, a couple of types that I don't wish to meet....

Those that just want to add numbers to the legions already populating their friends list...unless that person actually takes the time to send a message of some sort or I've had contact with them in a group.

Drama inducing people...I get enough drama in my walking life.

And those that can't handle sarcasm.
..

Music:

I listen to almost everything, if I like it I'll listen to it again...

Television:

I don't turn it on too often.

Books:

Lot 'o Lovecraft and Jim Butcher lately.

Heroes:

Horrible horrible video and sound quality, but it was a fucking awesome last show. Not in the pit for this one. It was a lot better watching these guys from a nice safe distance for this song.
