Although I have some friends, most of my living is done in my head. I am an easy laugh and a close listener. When I was younger, I had the spirit of an anarchist. These days I am more apolitical, but I lean humanitarian. I define myself by my hobbies: writing and playing music, portrait painting, and creative writing. I have failed myself if I treat any one person without empathy and consideration. I believe in the spiritual but not in religion, and in hedonism but not selfishness. Some live for effect, I live for pleasure.
