copied from myspace:
Born in Amsterdam, moved to Austin, grew up knowing I was an important person that was destined to shake the world, currently editing movies, one day to direct. I will be one of those people you hear about in books 200 years from now, if the planet hasn't exploded by then.
I have very few peers and even fewer friends, which makes me lonely. I find it hard identifying with people of limited ambition or intellect. My air of confidence is perceived as arrogance and is very alienating, when really, all I want is to interact with stimulating people. I am naturally sweet and good natured, so I don't bother being polite or insincere, as my real self gets me what I want more often than not. People can't keep secrets from me. I don't seek out other people's dirty laundry but I end up with it quite a bit and it gets me into trouble.
I would love to be a therapist or a councilor. I could be a rock star quite easily, and probably will one day, but not now. A tiny portion of my character is very similar to Jim Morrison, or at least how Jim Morrison is presented nowadays.
I am very zodiac conscious. It fascinates me. My favorite people on the planet are female Aeris, male Leo, and female Aquarius. These people GET me, more than anyone else does. I find I can have very fulfilling friendships with male Scorpio and I want to fuck female scorpio.
I have good intentions. If you hear me say something, and you don't know what I mean by it, assume I mean nothing by it, and if I do, then I mean something good. I don't have ulterior motives, I don't try to manipulate and I don't hide the fact that I want something. This sometimes lets me get exploited by people, but its rare.
Music is a gigantic part of my life. I find that if by one reason or another I go without music for more than a day, I get this dark haze that just creeps over me. I'll sit and ponder why I'm feeling so low forever when all I need is to hear music. Life without music would be a mistake.

Just a few facts about me:
- I was born in Athens, Greece while my dad was in the Army, so I have dual-citizenship. My middle name is actually Greek for "pretty woman". Though my first name isn't Greek at all, I was named after the bald woman in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. My actual heritage is Irish/Italian. So I have freckles and blue eyes, but I have dark hair.
- I make better friends with guys than I do with girls. Partly because of growing up without a female influence, and also partly because women are catty, self-centered bitches whose crap I don't have to put up with. Guys are straight-forward and easy to get along with.
- I have short-term photographic memory. I can see something, scan it and remember it perfectly, but only for a short time. It's great for test-taking, as I can just glance over a study guide and be ready. But I have to rush through the test as fast as I can or else I'll forget it! It's also really good for Iron Chefs, as long as I watched the source close to when I'm going to edit. I'll know exactly where every scene is that I want and I can assemble them quickly. It's the only reason why I'm good at fast editing. I have excellent long-term memory as well, just not photographic like my short-term.
- For a short time I was forced to follow my stepmom's religion when my dad remarried and adopted it. And it had such a rigid view on religion, politics, government, world affairs and that sort of thing that I hate to talk about any of it. I don't even like to think about it enough to get an opinion on it. As soon as I hear it, I shut down, I walk away, I think about something else.
- There are few things that I've tried that I haven't been able to become good at. I like to challenge myself, and when I find something new, I keep at it until I'm above-average. Then, what usually happens is that then I move on. Most of my hobbies haven't lasted over about two years. But look at how long I've been editing AMVs! (And I still don't think I'm good enough, so you won't be rid of me for a looooong while.)
- I don't like many typically girly things. One Christmas, I took a harddrive for over a diamond necklace. I don't have a kitten, I have a pet rat. I don't make romance videos, I make action videos (though, admittedly, most of them have female protagonists). However, I do indulge in the occasional girly thing. I like pink things. I have tons of pink shirts, pink earbuds, a pink bedspread and, of all things, a starkly bright pink computer case.
- No one can make me laugh more than I can. I enjoy amusing myself and I've gotten pretty good at it over the years. If someone can make me laugh, I'm impressed and I am instantly drawn to that person.
- I'm a plot-reader. I'll finish a book I hate just to find out what happens. I don't appreciate the work put into it, I don't get into various theories, I don't think much about it at all. I just read it. Once I know what happens, I move on. It is extremely rare for me to read a book more than once, unless I really like it, or I'm bored. The same goes for movies. Only my very very favorites get rewatched.
- I can get bored really easily. I require constant entertainment, or I fall asleep. If I'm kept occupied, I can stay awake for long periods of time with no problem. As soon as I get bored, though, I am out like a light.
- I don't like anime; I like anime characters. And always the same type. Quiet, somewhat stoic but strong female leads, usually who KICK ASS. Jo from Burst Angel (mainly) sticks out, Lucy from Elfen Lied, Clare from Claymore. But I like the emotionless, callous bit. My least favorite parts are always when the girl gives in to some emotion (anger is usually okay with me, but the lovey-dovey bits grate on me).
- When it comes to music, I rarely like specific genres or specific artists. I like specific songs. I've been known to get an album, find one song that I like, and never listen to the rest again.
- I used to be extremely introverted. I moved around a lot and suffered a lot of pain due to losing friends, so the introversion was probably a defense mechanism to keep myself from going through that. I could not bring myself to talk to anyone new. It was scarier than anything else to me, just being around others gave me a feeling similar to that of falling from a great height. As I became more used to the same people, the feeling would decrease, but then I'd move again and it would start the process all over again.
When I was 16, I was given the opportunity to go and live with my mother, whom I had never met before. This would mean moving to a new state ( not a problem, I'd done it many, many times in the past) but with not a single person that I knew around me. I didn't realize it then, I didn't think about it, but it would be the hardest thing that I had ever done. Very much like "sink or swim", it started me on the road to get over my fear. In two short years, I was okay enough that I moved out of my mom's house and out on my own, on a whim. I progressively tried newer and more outgoing things. I FORCED myself to be an extrovert.
Now I consider myself to be a fairly outgoing person. I work at a place in downtown Chicago that requires me to talk to hundreds or thousands of people every day (depending on how busy we are) and I have no problems with it at all. I can strike up a conversation with a stranger on the train without feeling awkward or scared, just a short time ago the idea of which would make me want to turn tail and run.
- My favorite alcoholic drink is Sex on the Beach (or the newly created Sex with Ileia
)
- I'm a notoriously picky eater, it's easier to list the things that I DO like than the things that I don't. Once I find something that I like at a restaurant, I tend not to deviate from what I know I'll like.
- I must have quite the ego. This is the longest post I've ever made on the org, and look what it's about.

I suppose I'll take a semi-serious stab at this:
When I'm tired or bored I babble. A lot. About worthless crap. Which would explain why I start a post like this when I should be heading to bed.
I like learning a wide variety of topics in a rather random way. One of my big ways of wasting time is to hit 'random article' on wikipedia until something at least semi-interesting pops up. Another habit of mine is to go to the library about once a month, wander around in a section that I don't know much about, and check out the first book that sounds interesting. I used to challenge my co-workers to come up with a question that has a definite correct answer then I'd go look up the answer on the net. As a result I have a broad base of knowledge but for a lot of subjects it isn't that deep.
I'm one of natures test takers. At one point I had about half the tests for MCSE and CCIE done and each test was passed by me reading the book, for the first time, over the weekend and then taking the test that Monday. As a result I realize exactly how worthless tests and certificates based on them are. I include college degrees in this. There are a lot of dumbasses around who learned nothing more than how to jump through academic hoops.
I firmly believe that in most subjects what you know isn't as important as knowing how to look up what you don't. For example, as a network tech I never did remember half the Cisco IOS commands but I damn well knew which book on my desk listed all the commands.
My vocabulary is written. There are many MANY words I know the definition and usage of but can't pronounce.
I like the 'we should all be free to do as we want' aspect of libertarianism. I like the 'some people are not as fortunate as others so it is the responsibility of society to take care of them' aspects of socialism. I'm enough of a realist to know that neither libertarianism or socialism work well. I hold enough oddball political ideas occasionally I'll get told I have a really good and unique idea. Then I'll get told I'm a fucking political moron. Often it's the same person saying both. Sometimes in the same conversation.
I'm anti-social but I have no fear of other people. Speaking in front of a crowd, talking to random strangers, etc doesn't bother me. I just don't enjoy it. After about eight hours of dealing with other people I need to be left alone or I get really really pissy. I'm still kinda surprised I didn't get my ass fired when my job was phone support and I had ten hour shifts. Fortunately my wife has gotten used to it and knows when to leave me alone.
Oddly enough, despite not liking most other people I am interested in psychology. Group dynamics especially. Cults or cliques of groupthink just make me wanna poke around and figure out why so many people buy into it.
The people I admire are the ones independent enough to stand up and go 'This is fucking stupid' while everyone else around them is fawning all over something. I may not agree with them but I admire the fact they have their own mind and don't mindless follow something just because everyone else is. These are also the only people interesting to talk to since they have opinions and ideas of their own.
I demand competence from myself not perfection. I tend to learn something well enough I don't totally suck then I move on. I can do weird art collages that are I think are ok but not great. I can manipulate photos and end up with something that I think is ok but not great. I can write short stories that I think are ok but not great. I can do amvs that I think are ok but not great. I'm sure you see the trend here. I also don't hold much value in my own creative works, most of what I've made ends up deleted because I just don't see a reason to keep it around.
I don't drink. I'm not a tea-totaler and I don't give a shit if anyone around me drinks, I just don't see the thrill of drinking. If booze is around I might have some but I won't seek it out. I've never been drunk in my life. I doubt I ever will be. I have enough stupid ideas when I'm sober. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'd be a mean drunk.
I've tried drugs once. It slowed my thinking. I don't like that effect so I've never tried again.
I constantly fuck up the english language. Often times badly enough that I'll say exactly opposite what I mean by leaving out words like 'not' from a sentance. If I ever took a test I'm sure I'd be diagnosed with some learning disorder or another but I've never cared enough to look into it. Personally I suspect it's because my thought process is far faster than my typing so I'm thinking about the next sentance while I'm typing the first. Fortunately #amv and the forums seems to have gotten used to it.
