About Me

I have a love afair with the English language, though it often abandons me when it comes to talking about myself. I'm a writer to my core and while that's not all I am it's the part of my that I feel defines what I am.
Creativity and the flaunting of it is always apealing to me, which is likely why I love fantasy art so much. I love books, paintings, movies and most other forms of artistic media, though I have to admit it's rare I come across a poem I like. I blame that on school, with the over analysing and looking for meaning where there wasn't any. The best way to destroy any liking for poetry is to analyse it.
I have to admit that a lot of art I find more impressive because I don't think I'd ever be able to do it. I'd love to learn photography, film making and how to make clothes but at the moment I simply don't have the time. Perhaps once I've finished university I'll take some night courses. Usually I'd just teach myself but all three of those involve technology and that is something I simply do not get along with. It's actually quite surprising that I've managed to get around this site so well. Also I'm clueless when it comes to the special effects.
People baffle me. The things they like, the way they act, the things they believe in. I don't understand any of it, or at least most of it. I find it easier to understand the utterly insane Joker than the average person who wears half way fashionable clothes, listens to the music in the charts and watches comedy flims that fall far short of funny. At least the Joker is happy (at least when he isn't locked up in Arkham), can the average person trapped in the rat race say that?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other writers since they're very scarse in my real life. Also I tend to get along well with other bookworms/nerds. Just don't tell me you don't read. That's the one thing that guarentees I'll have no interest in talking to you. I'm not sure why, but it's just a quirk of mine. If I get to know you then find out you don't like reading it won't put me off you, but if I know from the off it will.
