| Bio: | I treasure those who give me the gift of their companionship and respect as one of my friends. Friendship is the greatest gift a person can give, and I am willing to give anyone who is willing to take the chance my gift. The gift does come with a price: having to tolerate my possessive, potentially jealous, neediness. If you find yourself up to the task, my loyalty will most certainly be yours. Do not betray the inherent trust and love behind this, lest you wish to find yourself permanently without it. Moreover, do not disrespect and abuse (verbally, psychologically, physically, etc.) those who I call friend, for one who does gains nothing but my anger. I make terribly bad choices on a regular basis while on my path of self-improvement, sometimes not realizing them until I look back upon what I have done. Everyone makes bad choices; it is part of being human. I respect everyone's right to make poor choices so long as they all will render the same unto me. I have never thought it to be anyone's place, least of all my own, to judge another. I can never truly fit myself into their life and reasoning. Thus, I ask that you think carefully before placing the mantle of the judge upon your shoulders and pronouncing a verdict upon my choices with no rationale behind you besides that of your offended sensibilities. I am willing to listen to any new idea at least once, and discuss the old ideas where discussion may arise. All the same, I have my reasons for believing in the ideas and notions that I do. The things I truly believe in are close to my heart, and I do not stand for idle mockery of those things. Discussion and debate is certainly accepted and encouraged, however. Heated discussion with a friend is something that could lead to enlightenment on the sides of both parties, whereas blind attacks from one who is close-minded will only lead to escalating anger and frustration. I hold romantic aspirations towards those of the opposite sex. I have few inclinations to woo or date those of my own sex. However, I can say with complete honesty that I do love those of the same sex. Many people may wonder how this is possible, but really, it is quite easy. It all depends on how you interpret the word, and I tend to have looser interpretations when using the term. You can love family, friends, things, ideas, a significant other, but you do not love all of them in exactly the same way. This is how my usage of the word works so easily and simply, and just why I am comfortable using the term amongst females and males alike. I do not discriminate when it comes to the proclamation of my love. I do not jump on every fad as it goes by, particularly not in my favored vistas of Japanese animation and fantasy literature. It takes a lot to impress and interest me to the point of being willing to assign the name of fan to myself on that certain thing. When I do finally jump on a particular fan bandwagon, it is something I'm going to stick with for a while, even if other fandoms catch my eye. Sometimes I role-play in my chosen fandoms, preferring AU RPG's to canon ones so I do not ruin the images anyone has built up for them. Sometimes I make LJ icons from images of my fandoms, and a rare sometimes I will write fan fiction from my fandoms. It all depends on what my creativity inspires me to do. I have a great appreciation for the ideals of the princess and prince and the mythos behind the concept of happily-ever-after, but I also believe that it has an incredibly negative impact on the girls of our society. They see the ideal of the princess in TV and movies, and wish for a prince to rescue them from their troubles. Then when it never happens, the disillusionment and depression sets in, making for a group of very sad girls. With that in mind, I believe I am a princess hiding behind a prince's exterior. I wish to save others around me from whatever troubles they have in their lives, but deep inside I also have a wish to have another save me. I do believe, however naively, that such a thing is possible, despite the many ways the world can say it isn't. I am a 22-year old college student no longer attending classes. If I ever have the chance, I will certainly go back to them. I had been studying to become a theatre major to assist (potentially) in my hoped-for career as a voice actor. I was also taking classes in the realm of computer technology in the form of web design and programming. It is a sideline thing I do for fun, though I do design and upkeep for three different professional sites for groups of which I am involved. However, I find the creation of graphics for online usage to be much more engaging than the coding and upkeep. I am a sort of person that is highly creative, and am not very logical in my actions and reactions. I write fantasy stories, sometimes branching into horror, science fiction, and poetry, as an outlet to my creativity and repressed emotions, not out of any desire to eventually become famous or well known. I am approximately half German and half Irish, with smatterings of other northern European nationalities, and a great deal of respect toward the cultures of my ancestry. I have partly-dyed shoulder-length hair that naturally is a shade of darker brown, medium brown eyes hidden behind glasses, fair skin that tans if I have time out in the sun, and a shorter height than I would wish to have. I have no pretenses towards myself having any form of physical attractiveness at all, being fairly overweight for my height, though I certainly do appreciate it on others, male or female.
