About Me

My name is Nate. Don't call me Nathan unless I allow it. I'm a guitar playing, skateboarding, artistic EMT. My girlfriend Elisa is the best thing that's ever happened to me and keeps my ADHD tendencies from overloading. She's my partner and my equal in every respect. I love photography, and have a very dry sense of humor. I drink but I don't party. I don't like a whole lot of people, but the ones that I do become very close to me. Shoot me a line if you want to know more.

You can IM me at Porzellanherz, or mail me here.

Such a sad... beautiful... smile...

I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful

I'd like to meet:

I have found my Julia.

I am quite content in my life, but could always use more friends. I like people who are level headed. Unless they're extremely funny. I like intelligent people. I like people who can take my sense of humor. I don't like partiers, stoners, idiots, or burn-outs.

My Blog

I've waited so long to prove that I'm in love with you.

I don't even know where to start this. There's so much to say and I either can't find the words to explain how I feel or can't say it because I can't betray you to my friends. This is everything I did...

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass.
