About Me

sofia became a friend and admirer of gottfried leibniz while he was a courtier to the house of brunswick, from 1676 until his death in 1716. this friendship resulted in a substantial correspondence, published in the 19th century (onno 1973), that reveals sofia to have been a woman of unusual intellectual ability and curiosity. i'm the airborne telescope
and i protect my chosen targets . got a tiger in my hips, hence the monumental amounts of shake appeal. ambidextrous, but i choose to do it all with a left hand (whilst dancing on your flag). you may find me twistin' the rock but that's only on the weekends (and holidays français ). i used to get paid for pushing knowledge. now, i just want to get paid. until then, i'll just be chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum. i'm action packed! born in mid-november and everything you've read is true. if you really believe that then i don't want to know you. i can tell the difference between expressionism and finger painting. two dogs live with me (one in spirit), and no matter what, they'll always love me more than anyone else. it's just a fact, that goes both ways. but if you can like them just as much as i do--the possibilities of potential could be limitless. my brain consistently contorts, but not to worry, i'm not schizophrenic, it's just my (cough) a.d.d. i've been referring to myself as lazy these days.
it's single-handedly the healthiest offence to admit to.
for the most part, i have no shame. i've got an obsessive
(occasionally annoying) symmetrical eye. thus, change is:
a good thing. although, i'd never want you to change.
lastly, i'm dressed for success.
although...
according to--
used up my last quarter on: the future.
that'll learn me.

My Interests


condemned buildings hold a special place in my heart. dilapidation helps me to day dream of what was. restoration is the goal .

I'd like to meet:



i'd like to meet people who can restore my faith in society. preferably, music-dork types. a fellow ass amongst the furry, maybe? alain delon ? werner schreyer ? jacno ? i guess, the roaches from my kafkaesque dreams will do, for now. they sort of seem nice and truer to life than most. prove me wrong, please. then again, you could just respect the eminent role elvis presley holds in rock 'n' roll, yet also know that ike turner (rocket 88) wrote it first. i'd also like to correlate with people who have a want and need to dance, of course it ain't totally necessary. if you like yammering on about music, films, and books --shit! you and i were surely meant to be. still, independent thought is truly lovely. nothing says greatness like polish poster art . honesty is divine, no matter how fucked up it may seem to be. after all, "crushing truths perish by being acknowledged." if your personality consists of walls, i'll see no point in breaking in. (but) if your ass can rock this suit then none of the aforementioned crap matters--

--'cause i'd just like to (click here) with no strings attached (maybe).
however, the position has been filled.

smells rotten.
