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

    <br />
    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. <br />
    <br />
    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. In fact, I love me my villains. <br />
    <br />
    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. <br />
    <br />
    Musically, I can appreciate every genre, from rock to classic, folk to tribal. I do draw the line at rap, however. <br />
    <br />
    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. <br />
    <br />
    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. <br />
    <br />
    I'm a "Full-Time-On-Call Part-Time Computer Technician" in the 'real world,' so feel free to ask me about computers sometime. <br />

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