About




"If you are in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark." -Haruki Murakami

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm a writer -- an aspiring novelist -- if I can get a healthy dose of motivation, inspiration, and dedication injected directly into my system. To this effect, I enjoy reading thick books from authors such as Terry Goodkind, R. A. Salvatore, Terry Brooks, Garth Nix, H.P. Lovecraft, Christopher Pike, and so many, many more.

I enjoy Role Playing, from fantasy to horror to sci-fi. I've even tried my hand at dramas and school RPs, but I prefer sagas with a purpose. I don't mind being a supporting character, though I try to write with the heart of the lead. I'll be your faithful sidekick, so long as you don't call me sidekick. And if you need a bad guy, well, I can do delightfully creepy and dark, if need be.

I'm also an artist, though not in traditional media circles. I work with 3D models and Photoshop, and my work stretches from the whimsical to the strange and into dark science-fiction. I love messing with computers, and through my 'artistic' abilities, I try to reflect that.

Musically, I can appreciate every genre, from rock to classic, folk to tribal. I do draw the line at rap, however.

I have a deep-seated belief in all things mystical and fantastic, along with everything out there in the universe. I believe in aliens, advanced civilizations, dragons, and vampires. I often find myself at odds with everyone in my family because of my all-encompassing belief system, and my views on material needs and monetary gain (ever gotten into a debate with a Libra over money? I think it's useless. Libra can think of nothing else, I swear...) seem to just not fit in with the rest of the world.

I am in college now, but I originally came to Gaia to find friends, and have found a community of people mostly open to all ideas. I love that, and it's why I keep coming back. I need friends who understand (or at least pretend to, and I never know the difference, thanks to the internet buffer) and I'm glad I can find them here. So here I am, and judge as you will.

"I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here; and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end." - Khalil Gibran

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're damned after all.
Through fortune and flame we fall.
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way,
To return from the ashes you crawl.
We all carry on
When our brothers in arms are gone
So raise your glass high
For tomorrow we die,
And return from the ashes you crawl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lyrics by Teruyuki Takahashi “Devil Stockings”

The soldiers line up…
…and march down the road.
To wage war upon a distant enemy.
They keep marching on.
Just so they can die…
…IN THIS TIME GONE MAD.
Who knows why…
Though the depths of their hearts.
ARE SO TOTALLY DARK.
NOTHING CAN BE SEEN.
They stand in a wind-blown field.
COUNTING THE NUMBER OF CORPSES.
In the plaza, the soldiers are dancing in a circle.
But they have no time for that.
To make their escape.
To prolong…
The length of their lives.
They watch how the rotten shadow
From the clock tower at the end of the world
Falls across the red field.
Arm in arm in arm in arm
THEY’RE WATCHING AND LAUGHING.
The soldiers line up and march down the road to wage war upon a distant enemy.
They keep marching on just so they can die in this time gone mad.
They keep marching on.
They keep marching on.
They keep marching on.
