Some basic info, in no particular order.
I am a military brat, born on a US military base half a world away from where I currently call home.
Music is my lifeline to sanity.
I believe that every single adult human on the planet has an inherent right to live their life as they see fit so long as doing so does not impede another adult human from doing the same, and does not harm another human of any age in the process. And this applies even if I disagree with or don’t understand the choices someone makes.
I believe that government of any kind is, at best, a necessary evil.
I support veterans and our military. These are men and women who volunteered to enlist, knowing the risks involved. They do/did (or were prepared to do) shit that you and I can’t or won’t do in order to guarantee that we can live our lives freely. They deserve our respect at the very least.
I believe in being kind, always.
Science and math fascinate me because together, they strive to explain everything in the universe, and I want to understand the universe.
i am at least a *little bit* crazy.
Black clothing is my favorite, and purple is my favorite color. And yes, I am that person that will tell you black and white are not colors, they are the absorption and reflection of all colors, respectively.
I love tattoos and piercings, and have several of each.
I love to learn new things. If it would pay the bills, I would be a professional student.
I love to write and draw, but I don’t do either nearly enough anymore.
I get obsessed with topics/subjects and will spend hours researching something just because. I also sometimes jump from topic to topic because I find something while researching one topic that inspires a more burning question in my mind.
I love to help people.
I take notes. All the time. At any given point, I have half a dozen notebooks or drawing pads and at least twice as many writing implements available in my home or office.
I enjoy dark humor.
When it boils down to it, I truly am an idealist but I think I have a pretty good handle on dealing with life as a realist.
I believe that pain is a catalyst for growth.
I try my damnedest not to judge people based on stupid shit like race, religion, education, sex, or any other bullshit qualifier. What matters to me is this: are you a decent human being, or are you an asshole?
I am random.
I am logical.
And yes, I can be both and still function without self-destructing (at least, not completely).
I am patient. Probably too patient.
I love intelligent discussion and debate, but I hate arguing about shit that has no logical foundation. If you have an opinion, that’s fine, but if you want to argue that opinion with me, bring data, and at the very least, know and understand why you have that opinion in the first place.
I love animals.
