people have told me that i am flawless. i don't think so. i would at best conceed to something close to fabulous. some also say that i am fierce. watch out. i can be very sharp and at times brutally honest. i am rational and logical, most of the time. my deductive reasoning is fine-tuned machine. i don't like "burning" people, though. (few people know that about me and those that know seemed to have forgotten.) i tend to be shy and meek when you first meet me, unless i am under attack. i try to be modest. i like my privacy (which is apparently a thing of the past). i shine during good moments and murk during bad. there are many sides to my nature. most people are complex. my cameleon-like tendencies make people think that i am mysterious and secretive. i am actually quite the opposite. ask me a question and you may get more of an answer than you expected. my life is an open book, if you will. i had an english teacher as a grandmother who was a jack of all trades. i have a nutty, perfectionistic professor as a father and my mother is conservative, kind and untrusting. naturally, i have been influenced greatly by all three and learned their ways as fairly and equally as possible. whether they believe that or not, i do not know. i am sure that the spirits of my grandparents follow me as well. my combined forces are both beautiful and frightening. i've been told that i am intimidating. that's not my intention. i don't play that game. i actually don't really like games very much anyway. it is surprising how forgiving i am. (i even surprise myself at times.) read my poetry. humans are fallable. of course people are going to make mistakes and everyone deserves a second (or maybe a third, fourth, fifth...) chance. i have been trusting and have given people the benefit of the doubt in the past. currently, that is not the case. through my travels i have become very guarded. when fooled or deceived (as funny as it may be), my persona just doesn't allow me to take it very kindly. my instincts are keen and i know how to feel out a situation. i am very attentive and alert. i am typically a light-hearted, fun-loving guy. i really just don't care, though. to clarify "i don't care:" it means that i am going to be the person that i am. i love who i am. i only change for my own growth. (i worked for a company whose moto is "we take is personally," for the love of pete!) i especially "don't care" what people say or think about me. this was a hard lesson to learn. people sometimes appear to walk all over me. this is not really the case. i merely let them walk because why give them the satisfaction of the fight. life is to short to fight ridulous little battles. discuss, forgive and forget. let us clarify, though. when necessary (and there are definitely situations), i will gladly stand up for myself and others and fight the good fight. i am just expecting the truth, because the truth does not scare me. it's either that or i'm probably going to hurt a bunch of people who probably don't deserve it. to put it another way, i get an explanation or i disappear (i'm already halfway gone). i doubt you care either way, but it had to be said. i don't believe in coincidences. if this doesn't make sense to you then you are someone who will probably miss me when i'm gone. glbt, lgbt, bltg tlbg... it doesn't matter. it all means queer. The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few. But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky. If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be? Your Inner European is Spanish! Energetic and lively. You bring the party with you! Who's Your Inner European? You Are an Excellent Cook You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning. It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire... Are You A Good Cook? |

| manu chao-clandestino Add to My Profile | More Videos You Are 50% Open You are a fairly open person, but you also like to maintain your privacy. You definitely will tell all (okay, almost all) to your closest friends... But strangers and acquaintances only get a peek into your life. How Open Are You? You Are 70% Tortured Genius You are smart. Brilliant in fact. And while it's a blessing, it's also a curse. Your head is filled with everything - grand ideas, insufferable worries, and a good deal of angst. Are You a Tortured Genius? What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have? What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas.

You are the Hanged ManSelf-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound. With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain. The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes. The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights. What Tarot Card are You? |

I'd like to meet:this may be the most interesting question on myspace... an honest, short answer would be people who are trustworthy (which equates to many things for me, but that can be a topic of discussion). period. as a long answer, i need people who are honest, loving, intelligent, sarcastic, witty, true, virtuous, respectful, dependable, eclectic, logical, funny, quirky, crazy, dorky, artistic, nerdy, cool, collected, rational, scattered, random or any combination thereof. i even like conservative people and moral zealots. they can be fun to talk to. average people are cool and so are down-to-earth folks. people who are selfish and egotistical typically don't get to see the best of me or my true nature shall we say. we'll just leave that as is. mostly i just like people. it depends on them as to whether or not they get to know who the real neal is. games are dangerous. i don't like them and i despise deceit. when someone loses my trust (or my respect), it is rather difficult to regain. this does not mean that i will not treat you kindly or civilly. i sometimes am even respectful when disrespected. but... remember honesty and forgiveness. those are very redeeming factors. really... i like people who are like my cat. she sits in my lap when i need attention. she purrs and shows that she loves me. she protects me and keeps me warm. she licks my forehead. who wouldn't like to get their forehead licked? she even leaves me little presents that i have to pick up with a napkin/paper towel/kleenex/whatever i have available and throw them in the garbage (or the kitty litter box, whichever is closest). we take care of each other. i am a lesbian - always have been. so, bring your uhaul if you're coming along. to sum it up, i love people and i love to be loved. You Are A Good Friend You're always willing to listen Or lend a shoulder to cry on You're there through thick and thin Many people consider you their "best friend"! What Kind of Friend Are You? You Communicate With Your Ears You love conversations, both as a listener and a talker. What people say is important to you, and you're often most affected by words, not actions. You love to hear complements from others. And when you're upset, you often talk to yourself. Music is very important to you. It's difficult to find you without your iPod. How Do You Communicate? You Are 40% Weird Normal enough to know that you're weird... But too damn weird to do anything about it! How Weird Are You? don't be afraid to add me as a friend. i promise i won't tell. i have no intention of "un-hiding" my friends list. the reason that i hide my friends is primarily due to the fact that i do not like the "top friends" concept. i have too many top friends to name them all. it just steps on toes. secondly, i have "top" friends that are not on myspace. thirdly, maybe i have friends that want to remain unnoticed. |
