The following probably isn't even appropriate for this website, but I'm adding it solely for the fact that what I had here from registering is outdated and I'm too lazy to write something new. So, I'm going to rip from my Myspace:

(Note that the following may restate the same thing multiple times in some instances (or just ramble, but shhhh), as it's a compilation of not even I know how many updates. I'm just, honestly, too lazy to go back and edit/filter it. Feel free to message or comment in German or English. My English is flawless and my German only semi-fluent, but I can get by and see no reason to not improve. I'm also semi-fluent in Latin, having finally bothered to work on my declensions. :O)

I'm a cynical, eccentric metrosexual writer (now if only I could tear myself away from video games enough to write for longer periods!). Both a warning and summary.

Nationality: Axis Child (German/Japanese) No Italian, but oh well. I did get the Asian eyes. ^.^

First and foremost my loves are reading and writing (maybe games, but shhhh :O), with a close second being piano (but I suck at sheet music; the songs I know are from memorization). Yes, I'm even into politics. If you talk to me, you're more likely than not going to end up getting into a bunch of talks on literature, history, politics, etc. Deal with it. ^.~

Abnormal, yes, but I ask that you forgive me for my main concerns not being sex and pop culture. Sex is overrated and fleeting. Physical pleasure, in semblance of pain, comes and passes--leaving nothing permanent in its wake. Mental pleasure and the fruits thereof--art--are, in most all cases, immortal.

On a lighter note, I'm addicted to swords (including fencing) and fire. And the mixing of the two. Pyros are so much fun. ~.~

To clear this up: College. I was accepted to Pfeiffer, Gardner-Webb and UNC Chapel Hill for English and Duke for pre-med. Did I go to any of them? No...instead, I've taken a year off to write because I honestly never could make my mind up. After that, I was accepted to UAT for v-game design and cancelled out.

I am, however, considering seeing if my acceptance to UNC Chapel Hill and GWU are still good, as both have great English programs, and I've finally made my mind up. I -should've- done this in the first place; English, with emphasis placed on Creative Writing.

The only sport I've really ever cared much for is football, but I can't play it anymore because I broke my ankle my freshman year and, when running, now have a tendency to veer to the left with my right foot. It throws me off balance a tad too much to reliably play football for a real team.

Appearance.... Hell, I'm not even going to get started here, beyond base observances. You're more than welcome to click my eye and formulate your own view of me, though. I -do- have pictures of my face. I just choose not to make them my main picture, for the sake of those people's eyes who don't really want to see me. *winks*

My natural hair color is auburn, but it's currently dyed midnight-black, no streaks. It used to be brown with blond streaks and, at one point, was even solid blonde (I'll never go back to that--woah).

Personality.... I'm witty, and tend to joke a lot--hell, nearly all the time. I can become annoying, but most people tend to find me highly funny. Really, it depends on whether or not you have a stick up your bum or not as to how I come off to you in person. I -do- have the ability to be serious, though, and I'm always there for friends--even strangers--if they need someone to lend them an ear or view.

It's very, very difficult to make me mad.

Random likes.... I'll leave it at snow, storms (and the two former together), winter (back to snow we go!), music, reading/writing (sorry, they can't be seperated!), gaming, gaming design, etc. Get the idea I'm a geek yet? You're damn well right! ~.^ (Does anyone else notice I use parentheses a lot? ((It's like I have a habit of talking over myself))(((SEE!?))))
