About Me


click to browse the highest rated myspace layouts
I have a large contrarian streak in me so I like to argue with people I know well . I am reserved at first with people I do not know until I warm up to you and then I can chatter away about nothing . I am reflexively honest unless you ask me what exactly I am thinking about at that moment .. Then my mind goes blank for some reason . I am somewhat of a geek so lots of geeky references when I talk .. I am impatient and impulsive at times especially when I have to wait to do something .. Im Kind , gentle , funny in a dry sarcastic way, smart and clever .

My Interests

There are so many .. The Paranormal, Carpentry , Architecture , computers , Gardening , Hockey in a general way , Comics , Anime , Fiction and Non fiction books , Movies that are well written and well acted , Cheesy movies , Writing , Poetry , Television , Traveling , Driving , Fantasy , Science Fiction , Mystery , Cartoons , Rpgs such as D&D and Champions , MMORPGS of Everquest and COH/COV , Singing badly which I cant help , and a bunch of other things

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet all of T.A.P.S crew because they are helping people while researching the paranormal which is interesting and cool. I would like to meet most of the authors of the books I enjoy the most even though some of them have passed away in the years since I first started reading .. I have met some of the really great artists from the silver age of comics which was great .. I am not into meeting the famous actors and actresses unless they have managed to stay real people despite fame and fortune .

Music:

Im ecletic about my music so it runs from 13 century chants , Country , hard Rock , techno , Soft Rock , Jazz , Classical, Swing , Blues , and the other various and sundry muscial varieties .. I am not that much into rap except for a few artists
