I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

************************** "i want so badly to believe that there is truth, that love is real. and i want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd. i know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear that your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by??"....................................................... ...........i'm pretty much a super-laid back well-rounded person. i am usually quiet, but not exactly shy. i am a much better listener than i am a conversationalist. i'm an introvert. i overthink. sometimes i ignore people i don't know or am intimidated by on some level. some people are intimidated by me on some level. i try not to let what others think of my looks bother me or influence me very much; i like my style and my hair and my glasses and my weight just fine, and to hell with what the average person thinks or doesn't think about it (except when it comes to my having a job). i value my friend's opinions and advice extremely highly. i have been, for reasons unknown to me, oddly fascinated with the psyche and life of michael jackson, and the tragedy of the titanic................
