Trouble is my middle name, but in the end I'm not too bad

About Me

Am I a writer with photographic tendencies, or a photographer with writing tendencies? You decide.
Taurus sun, Aries moon, Taurus Rising. But what seems to define me best lately is my Venus in Gemini. I seem to be of two minds about everything. I have a hard time bringing my thoughts and feelings into sync with each other; so I tend to think or feel, not do both at once. A year and a half ago I was absorbed by thought; but these days all I can do it feel.
I wont blog here, except to do stupid surveys to pass the time, so don't expect much of me. Like everything about me, my presence on the internet is found in bits and pieces, a small amount of me for one person to see, another part of me for others to see. I have a hundred secrets, each known by a hundred different people. Some would call me untrusting, but even the people closest to me haven't given me a reason to be otherwise.
I read, I write, I play WoW, I take photographs, I dream. I fall in love things that can make me feel while trying to think my way through a world that I don't belong in. I obsess about myself, trying to analyze my actions which are based more on instinct than logic. I dream things before they happen. I run around trying to save everybody else, as if that will stop me from seeing that I am drowning.
