I am a very loyal and loving person, i love to laugh (especially at myself) and figure the best way to go through life is to not get worked up about things that don't matter. I usually prefer to act based on intuition and emotion (especially in inter-personal relationships) rather than following any logical rationale, this strategy usually serves me well except for when i end up in a situation that really should have been examined more closely before action was taken... I tend to be very quiet around people i haven't known forever (and as a result often come across as a creeper...) this is mainly due to a combination of my natural shyness and the fact that in normal conversation I have a biting, sarcastic sense of humor that may come off as mean if a person hasn't known me for a very long time so i keep quiet so as not to offend anyone... its hard to convince someone that you're actually a nice person if their first image of you is negative...

I am always available if you have a problem or just need someone to talk to, however be warned i am not a good source of advice since i tend to tell people what they want to hear rather than the straight up truth. I also have very little patience with martyrs and whiners, if you need someone to talk to that's fine but don't try to 'spin' the story/conversation to come across as the victim, I'm probably already on your side and martyrs are annoying...

Religion is an interesting subject with me, i would like to say i am a true atheist or at least agnostic simply because i hate the ideas I perceive to be behind almost every organized religion. I take issue with the people in them (as long as they're not trying to convert me or tell me i'm wrong), but the idea that an organization would attempt to control me with threats/promises of an afterlife really bothers me. However as i said before i probably cant call myself a true atheist because a part of me does like to believe that there might be a higher entity/energy/purpose, even if its not the 'God' talked about in religion...

I listen to (and love) music from every genre i have heard so far, but the majority of my time is spent listening to the various forms of rock, as well as alternative, hip hop, pop and techno/dance. i get annoyed with people that say a band, artist or genre sucks, in my opinion all music has its merits in someone's eyes (even if its just the artist's) and that makes it valid, even if i don't care for it (and there are plenty of bands which i don't particularly like)

Some bands I listen to: Aerosmith, Billy Joel, The Cars, Daft Punk, Dir en Grey, Dire Straits, the Eagles, Fay Wong, Gackt, Garnet Crow, Gorillaz, Greenday, Heart, High and Mighty color, Linkin Park, John Lennon, Polysics, L'Arc en Ciel, Nobuo Uematsu, Orange Range, Queen, the Rolling Stones, Goldfinger, Schwarz Stein, Supertramp, Three Dog Night, The Who, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Elton John, Styx, lemon demon, jonathan coulton
