Who am I?

First off, I am a Christian. That means a follower of Christ. I am also a yogi, vegetarian and a conscientious objector. I practice Yoga as a physical and mental tool. My spiritual needs are supplied by the teachings of Christ. I am a vegetarian because I believe, due to certain properties of the digestive system and personal experimentation, that a vegetarian diet is possibly healthier in many respects. I hold violence against another human being, regardless of circumstance or degree of harm, to be a great tragedy and failing to both parties. I find war to be reprehensible, yet sometimes unavoidable. I, regretfully, find myself feeling great disdain for those who have partaken in such violence, regardless of reason. I can only try to treat them fairly as human beings and equals. After all, all men are created equal, or as I would say, equally wretched.


Now that we've covered morals and such, let's look at hopes, goals and dreams. I am graduating from High School in about 3 months and am planning on attending collage. I want to major in Socio-anthropology, specializing in religions and mythologies. I have been trying to teach myself both Japanese and the guitar. I have a 3 month old Basset Hound named Suki. She is quite a handful, having reached the peak of puppiness. I have two rather large and stuffed bookshelves in my room, containing everything from R.A. Salvatore to Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett to Tolkien, Shakespear and Cervantes. I play World of Warcraft off and on, normally on a low population RP server. I like questing and taking my time rather then grinding, and I abhore PVP. I watch anime of all types. At this date, I'm watching Bleach and .hack//SIGN, as well as rewatching Serial Experiments Lain with my Dad. My tastes in music vary with my emotions, normally harder rock/ light metal, but I also enjoy some classic rock or classical music. I rarely tolorate christian worship, rap, hip-hop or country western. My personal motto for life is: Life sucks, get over it.



That's my information. Whether or not that's actually who I am is a question for another time.

Props. Mad, mad props.

I've said it once before, and it bears repeating: you've got a wicked prose style. Use it for good, Owen-one.

May I take this opportunity just to remind you gently that my Andorran door is open to you, and that significant parts of spring are the tourist low season? (Meaning cheaper flights)
