I am here for Friends

About Me


Welcome to the Internet , where everyday inhibitions dissolve; where stalking is "meeting new people", and plagiarism is "research"...
" Not all who wander are lost. " - J.R.R. Tolkien
Currently still existing in Auckland ("living" would be an exaggeration).
Trying to finish off a BA in English and Logic after several changes of Major, and being employed by Orcon Internet . Life is on intermission, while I try to work out what I want to do with the rest of it.
" One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' was his response. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.' " - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Caroll
" Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. " - Albert Einstein
Things I have cared about in the past have dissolved in the process of my pursuing them. I'm a walking metaphor of the Arts versus Technology debate. I love being both kinds of geek, and to my great amusement, I am constantly made fun of by both IT-inclined peers and arts-oriented friends.
" ... arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom. " - Albert Einstein
In the past, having to spend 5 minutes explaining my name to a customer who only needs 2 minutes of actual help was just a plain waste of time. So, in 2004, my name changed .
" You will never be happy if you keep searching for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you keep looking for the meaning of life without living it. " - Albert Camus

" Most of all, perhaps, we need an intimate knowlege of the past. Not that the past has anything magical about it, but we cannot study the future. " - C.S. Lewis

.: Words
"WTF, lmao, did they really say that?"
" You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles... And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. " - Albert Einstein
" Hell is other people. " - Jean-Paul Sartre
Pretty verses
" To see a World in a grain of sand
And a Heaven in a wild flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
...
Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are Born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are Born to sweet Delight.
Some are Born to sweet Delight,
Some are born to Endless Night. " - William Blake
" Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot. " - Alfred Lord Tennyson
" Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
...
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest: " - William Shakespeare
" I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death. " - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
