About Me:
I like all sorts of things, but the things that best describes me as a person is being easy-going, light hearted, a bit silly, a bit random and reserved and observant until someone offers to go out for a drink with me. Then all hell breaks loose and then some. ;)
I have no religious affiliation. My 'religious' creed is very simple: scripture is interpreted, no faith is the only one, deities are symbolic, and god(s) is(are) a spiritual representation of themselves. Meaning to life was not created at the time of conception but rather, created through living and passed on by connecting with others.
Though I have no religion, my philosophies lean more in the direction of Zen Buddhism. However, I am no pacifist. I will stand up for myself and/or for others if the need arises.
I am passionate about love, though I may not be apparent. I am especially hard on myself as I know and often, on others, but I do try to be more empathetic. I will listen to you and I will try to comprehend. If I look bored, I am merely tired. Believe me when I say that I have heard it all. There isn't very much in the world that really surprises me.
You can expect me to "mhm" "mhm" a lot. It's not that I am not listening. It is because I either A) already know what you're going to say and/or B) you've repeated yourself at least once in the past.
If you're naughty, I'm naughty. If you're reserved, I'm reserved. If you're silly, I'll laugh with you. If you're weird, I'll share a bit of my uncanniness with you. If you're ignorant, I will question your ignorance. If you disagree with me, I will ask you what you disagree with. If you say you love Lego, I wish we live close together so we can have a Lego-building fest. If you enjoy topics that go beyond societal acceptance, we might have a very lovely conversation. If you tell me your religion is the absolute one for all the world and everyone else are delusional, we'll stop talking and you can go back to your fantasy world.
In short, I'm pretty flexible. Though I understand trust is built through experience and sometimes, time, I can assure you that I am 100% honest and at least 50% sincere. Interesting eh? You can ask me about it later if you like.

Requests:
I'm completely and utterly into snail mail, but emailing will do just fine.
Also I am heterosexual, so if you're a guy, stop trying to seduce me. Though I am flattered and thank you by the way, there's nothing you can say or anything you can show me to change my mind. ;)
As far as new friendships/penpals goes, I'm totally open to it. However, please try not to get offended if I don't reply to you. This doesn't mean I won't. It means I will eventually. I like to focus my attention on these things.
For love, sex and other intimate companionship, again, I am opened to it but this is not what I am here for. In fact, I came here looking for a snail mail in hopes to find a confidant. However, you can try if you think I have anything to offer you.

Hope youre well. Peace.

Thank you... have been working on that all summer lol... and it is a TOFU turkey of course, being vegetarian.....
thanks!. When I was younger i used to have trouble sleeping alot. now I don't have a problem unless I spend the prior day sleeping in. I've seen a couple episodes of top gear, but I guess I don't watch it so much because most of their cars I'll never ever afford. lol I haven't done anything with cars in awhile, on account of no money. expensive hobby...well hope u sleep well.
Hey, this might sound a bit weird. But I gotta say when I read your "about me" reminds me alot of myself. lol I was surprised. Though I'm not nearly as articulate as you are. My philosophies probably lean more towards Taoism rather than buddhism. You're first quote, it reminds me of somewhere in the Tao Te Ching, where it basically says that the Tao helps those that help themselves, which reminds me of the christian "seek and thou shalt recieve." Well enough philosophical rambling. You have some pretty dramatic photography going on there yourself. lol I really am excited about going to japan, but it'll be a couple years before I can go teach there. I need to complete my bachelors first. Then I have to get permission from my unit to get atleast a years worth of "leave". lol oh well life goes on. Nice to finally make a friend. :)
do u have a yahoo messenger account? we can chat there.
