I am a thinker; an appreciator of all the art hidden within the world and likewise presented to us daily through modern media--I'm also a goofball. I crave recognition, and friends to share experiences and thoughts with. To those I confide in, there's not a more loyal friend to be found. I'm a geek through-and-through, who obsesses over the smallest details, and prizes both the obscure and novel. I've traveled the globe and painted my perceptions in response, but the journey is never over!

I am a loyal Catholic, but I use science and logic to inform my faith. I treat my religious occupation as a philosophical challenge, examining my relation to Catholicism and other faiths frequently to strengthen and expand my personal philosophy.

I'm a little shy, and a proud pessimist, but I fight for what I believe in. I probably don't give myself enough credit, but mostly to avoid appearing arrogant. It takes some time for me to open up, but when I do, I latch onto my loved ones like a clam (an odd analogy, but I like it).
