I can decide how much I give. But it's not up to me what I get given.

About Me

To begin at the beginning. I'm an actor, aspiring to success and some renoun but seemingly, to myself and others, happy enough just to be doing it when its there to be done. Along with acting I do a few other things to varying levels of success. Meaning I play about at learning body skills; like dancey, circus-ish, kinestegia. (I make up words too.) I read, I write, and I try to apply whatever skills I've collected to whatever I'm doing and struggle most with focusing. Or just applying myself, I know I work too hard to consider myself a slacker, but I'm sure it looks very like that to those on the outside looking in.
You Are Lightning
Beautiful yet dangerous
People will stop and watch you when you appear
Even though you're capable of random violence
You are best known for: your power
Your dominant state: performing What Type of Weather Are You? I Get A FRIGGIN KICK OUT OF ANIMALS, there i said it. AS I mentioned a bit previously I kinda love things like Circus, Dance, Singing, Painting, Writing, in fact, I've a pretentious penchante for all things 'culture'. For awhile I studied anthropology and really love it.But animals...they are just class. And my favourite animal, aside from a FLYING BISON is..? the Binturong or asian bearcat. It has a fully prehensile tail, and allegedly smells like warm popcorn/baking cornbread.For spiritual religeo needs I tend to turn to taoism...1.Taoing___________________________________________ ________ The way you can go isn't the real way. The name you can say isn't the real name. Heaven and earth begin in the unnamed: name's the mother of the ten thousand things. So the unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soul sees only what it wants. Two things, one origin, but different in name, whose identity is mystery. Mystery of all mysteries! The door to the hidden.
Your Brain is Green
Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance.
You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver.
You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns.
You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual). What Color Is Your Brain?body {background-image:url("a href=..
