"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness" ~ The Dalai Lama
"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. " ~Thomas Merton
Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.

Dislikes
Guys who just want to flirt People who confuse opinions with facts and laws People who abuse animals People who fuck with my friends Religious fundamentalists Being judged for my looks, especially my piercings I'm not goth/punk/emo or whatever. I'm ME and that's it. Twilight. It's not on my reading level and totally ignores vampire mythology. Tapioca pudding. Not the taste, the consistency

It can be at times I guess... anywhere can be boring though. I used to live in Bangor. I miss Portland... do you or have you ever heard of Plague? It's a Goth event Amy Black throws every Friday... it was usually alot of fun. I DJed there a few times. I'm basically just in Tennessee for work and school.
