About Me

I'm Pisces with Scorpio ascending and a Taurus moon -- and what the stars have to say is mostly true. Yes, this is the lazy way of introducing my complicated self.
Stubborn, indomitable, aloof... I tend not to post comments back when people post graphic ones on my page. It's nothing personal, I'm just not the type who has a big graphic archive to use.
I'm also silly, crazy, opinionated and friendly if you, 1.) are nice, 2.) also have a (mad) sense of humour. I think I'm a fairly likeable person, just not in the party animal kind of way.
And if you're not one of my earthly acquaintances, you'd know me as O.
I'm graduating from university on October this year, and next year I would be starting another undergrad degree somewhere else. Toronto, hopefully. But between my two-schoolday weeks and moving away, I'll be working at the archaeology division of the Philippine National Museum and learning necessary life skills that I unfortunately do not have like cooking and being more sociable. I know I don't look like an archaeology person, but I'm actually doing it. And I very much enjoy the priceless looks on people's faces when I say that. :)
My profile says I live in Toronto, because I do live there -- sometimes. But mostly I want to get away from the indiscriminate messages from random local perverts.

People who can keep me interested for more than five minutes. Those who won't make my IQ drop after a "conversation".

I'm not interested in joining anyone's harem. Likewise, those who add me with their profiles set to private will not be added. For everyone else, I reserve the right to deny add requests for many many possible reasons that as a stranger, you do not need to know.
