IntroDUCKtion
I am Nimmery. You are not Nimmery. You will never be Nimmery, although you'll probably find something else to be that is fun if you haven't already.
I'm kind of crazy and very philosophical and very spacey. I consider myself an expression of my own art, and a strong independent person.

TASTiES
(what I love by example)
MEWVIES ('cuz I'm a bit of a geek for film): I like... Amelie, Life is Beautiful (foreign and gorgeous), American Beauty, He Died with a Felafel in His Hand (thoughtful and procative), Drop Dead Fred, Ghost World (quirky and couldn't be improved), Dumbo, The Princess and the Frog (classic Disney), The Fifth Element, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, (uninhibited fun), Serenity, Sin City (fantastic style), Sunset Boulevard, The Third Man (tastes like film-noir).
LOVE of ART
I've noticed I see a slightly different world than most people do. The good news is, this isn't psychosis, just my strange artistic sense. I'm hoping I have the potential to make something worthwhile come out of my need for artistic expression one day. But I gots to grow up first.
Philosophy and art define my life. One is meaningless without the other and my life is empty without both.
LOVE of KNOWLEDGE
My basic philosophy is hedonistic: pursue what feels good without hindering anyone else's ability to do so. I love exploring ideas about all kinds of things, though. I generally like to ponder things further than all but the thinkiest people I know.
The way I see it, if the driving force that keeps the universe in order is anything like a god, it's nothing like the ridiculous personal gods people still like to believe in nowadays. As a former Christian I readily mock Christians, but I have immense respect for those who earn it.
KNOWLEDGE of LOVE
A significant chunk of my philosophizing considers people and relationships very thoroughly, and I've discovered that as well as being more or less pansexual (avoiding some of the gender identity restrictive connotations of the term "bisexual"), I'm very compatible with the practice of various possible forms of non-exclusive relationships, especially deep, long-term ones. Everything I've learned about relationships points to the idea that jealousy and possessiveness are more harmful to relationships than healthy, and that feelings for one person should not affect feelings for another. These things should be discouraged in some people, and they don't exist in the way I form relationships.
Polyamory is a way of life that doesn't suit everyone, but that works for me in amazing ways. I'm too socially curious a person to ever be satisfied with just one person, even someone as unbelievably perfect for me as my Danny. While we complete each other in ways that seem to redefine both our perceptions of reality, I'll continue to explore the possibilities of other relationships (among those who' are cool with this, at least) as well as suits me, and fulfils Danny's (priority) needs. At the same time, Danny will be free to do whatever he wants with the consent of whoever he wants, and I know as well as he does that our attachment is as deep and strong and mutual as ever. In fact, our relationship benefits a lot from the different perspectives this practice gives, and none of this tugs at any of our personal insecurities.
Basically, other relationships are about as threatening to either of us as your average exclusive-type's lover's ex's. Which shouldn't be threatening at all, since they can't take anything away from our own relationship. As a bonus, there can be the added feelings of "compersion", defined as the opposite of jealousy: it's a kind of happiness associated with the knowledge of a lover's positive relationship with someone else. Call it voyeurism of emotions. It's a fantastic place to be at.
Danny put it something like this: love's not a single object you give to one person or another. For people with the right emotional balance, love's more like light that can be channelled in all kinds of ways.
To me, this is beautiful.
REMEMBurrrrwhat?
Always be honest, open and direct with me. If you can't do that, go away, get a grip and try again.
Like yourself. If not, work out who you'd like to be and start being it. Otherwise, don't expect me to like you.
Try laughing in the face of your problems. Humiliation is the most direct form of disempowerment: if life is just trying to make you feel like s**t, then giving it a big smile anyway is likely to piss it off beyond belief.
