I see, I hear, I feel, I love.
Poetry, louder than any other form of expression.
I live with the mind of a writer
day in and
day out.
And I thoroughly enjoy the hunt
for a better muse. Perhaps that
makes me a carnivore in some ways.
I believe in an open mind and
open expression.
I do not believe in any
kind of discrimination or hate,
but I do believe in the strength of
song, poetry, and love.
I believe that
each person is
above petty generalizations,
whose well written characteristics cannot be boxed up
and hung by strings
within the masses.
I am a reader. I get lost; lost in
the words, lost in
the nuances of "Show, Not Tell."
I ♥ Hayao Miyazaki. His passion for love and the unbound imagination astounds me.
I have been singing my entire life, and have been involved in choirs first and foremost. I am a third-year Japanese student; I love the language more and more each day.
Body modifications
are my vice,
hypochondria
is my game.
This is Hello.
Turn ons
Got Personality?
Kindness, intelligence, a challenged opinion, randomness, the classic gentleman, singing, cleanliness, hopeless romantics, athleticism, pride, orchids, rainstorms, a vast appetite for music, literature, an attuned ear for Classical or Art music, and the smell of cinnamon.
Turn offs
Hypocrites, preconceived first impressions, stupidity, jealousy, stereotypes, country music, a controlling nature, poor hygiene, racism, a lack of confidence and self-respect, an unwillingness to take chances, and homophobes. I'm quite sure there are more.
Bwaha! Look at that, your rating was a 7.00, and I made it 9.00. A single vote from KS gave you 2.00 extra points. Not that this whole rating thing matters, but I just thought it was worth nothing. Anyway, enjoy your day tomorrow.
That's funny... I could have sworn you were on my friends list already. I am, after all, in yours. But... I don't see you there. I'm re-sending the request. Who knows, maybe you'll have me twice on your list. Or at the very least I'll be "ahead of the pack" again. [Laughs.]
