About Me:

I am no one and everyone you ever knew. I am a warrior and a pacifist. The outcry of rebellion, the imprisonment of obediance. The boy, the girl, the blurred space without a name. The syllable your tongue can never entwine itself around, the lables you slap companionably on everyone elses' back. The Goth, the Good Child, the Punk, the Freak, the Emo, the Straight-edge, the Mental Kid. I live and die every day. I am open and forever hidden. I am the healer and the gaping wound. The child and the old soul. The black, the white, the colors of the rainbow on spin cycle. I love more deeply than one-hundred of my fellow human beings combined and I weep that this is so (for why is the standard of love so subsidiary to conditions?). I am a creature of habit and entirely unpredictable. I am the bubble and the stone, fragile and solid. I am the reclusive attention-seeker. I am a mother, a father, and the offspring. I am a husband and a wife. I am a spine and a cripple.

I am me, and that is all you need know.

Interests:

Music, literature, the paranormal, fan fiction, acting, art, architecture, shiny things, bookmarks, what precisely the chickens are up to now (don't ask and I shan't launch into the strange and extensive theory), hair, graphite pencils, colored hair extensions, candles, costume design, silly putty (I am easily amused), tea, Europe, Japan, travel, witchcraft, converting the world to bisexuality (kidding... somewhat), black nail polish, the concepts of rebellions and revolution, cuddling (Beware. I cuddle anyone that allows it.), jinglies (keychains and other useless clanging items that hang from my backpack), psychology, small statues, history, glowy things, feline creatures (I'm not the one who calls me 'Kitten'. That was coined by my friends.), snakes, graveyards, mythology, poetry, vampires, the Japanese language, glitter, philosophy, activism, graphic art (computer manipulations and so on), both Gothic sub-culture and Gothic architecture, photography, death and various twisted offshoots of it (this is one of those inexplicable draws that most people experience toward something disturbing), New Jersey, shows, the electric bass guitar...
