["MYSELF"(from a poetic stand-point)]

I've decided to give myself a sobriquet, because I felt like it, and also because it's an interesting way to see how one views oneself. So, without further gilding of the lily, I give you my sobriquet:

Vessel of apparent egotism, wanton quoter, quick-witted fiend, bard of innuendo, agent of intelligence, loather of stupidity, embodiment of sarcasm, seeker of knowledge, postulant for wisdom, exploiter of big words, desultory ranter, and purveyor of trivial knowledge and oddities.



["MYSELF"(from a general stand-point)]

Basically, I'm a twenty-two year old Canadian guy with black Irish colouring (black hair, blue eyes, pale skin, gets crispy in the sun, etc.) that spends more time in his head than anywhere else(and no, I don't mean in a crazy voices-are-speaking-to-me kind of way).

I'm a tad arrogant, have a twisted sense of humour, I'm a tad shy, a bit of a prude, and my ego could be named a state capital(or, in my case, a provincial capital). ;p 

I have A LOT of interests(as seen under "My Likes"), most of which i've studied on my own throughout the years. I could be considered one of those people that "know a lot of things about a lot of things"--A jack of all trades, or a Renaissance man, if you will.
If you were to compare me to a famous artist, DaVinci would probably be the most accurate. I'm an idea man, and a very terrible incompletist-- not so much because I'm terribly lazy(although it could be that too) but because I have so many ideas that I'm trying to turn into a tangible reality in a very short amount of time.

My goal in life is to win the lottery and spend the rest of my days doing whatever I feel like. Failing that, I hope to become a financially solvent visual development artist...which is just a fancy way of saying concept artist.

[MY QUIRKS AND MISCELLANEA]

Role-Playing Games

I can get REALLY caught up in RPG's. I mean, I'll research the entire game(read: find out best possible combinations of class/stats/race/etc. and read entire game manual) before I even attempt to play it. Obsessive? Maybe.
There's actually a good quote for this(I have a quote for everything it seems): 

**"barbarian" can be substituted for another class

"Creating the "perfect" barbarian is one of the most important decisions in your life, along with buying a house, getting married, etc. You will need to weigh up all the things you want and need, type of weapon, strength or dexterity, human or Half-Orc. Also you will have to decide if you are going to multi-class at all, and if you do, what will you multi-class with? All these factors can make a computer geek go crazy, or neglect their social life. This is why I am here, to help the unfortunate souls who are caught in the "Spiral of Never Ending Possibilities".

Precognitive Ablitities

A psychic gene seems to run in my mother's side of the family, and pops up every second decade or so. I seem to have gotten a bit of it, as i'm not going to claim that my abilities are any too strong.
I can sometimes see the future events in my dreams--daydreaming included--(although I don't know it's the future at the time) and it's pretty random and I have no control over it. I've also noticed that i've gotten the exact same "deja vu" a few times throughout various times in my life. Sometimes the occurrences are, literally, years apart. It's kind of interesting and, at the same time, frustrating to believe that i'm just repeating the same moment in my life over and over again.
It's also possible that I have some empathic abilities, but it might be that i'm just better at reading people's emotions since i'm an artist and study expressions, etc. 

Wanton Quoting

It was actually a surprise for me to learn that I'm quite the shameless quoter. I had no idea that I knew so many quotes, and that I use them so much in everyday conversation.
Some of you that have messaged me must be fighting galactic space wars if you've never noticed the colossal amount of quotes I've spewed your way.
I suppose it's just my way of sharing my zen-like wisdom with the world. ;p

Zero Short-Term Memory

Now, I'm not as bad as Dory from Disney's "Finding Nemo", but I don't remember things unless I'm constantly reminded.
Because I spend so much time brooding, I have almost no concept of time, and so, do not remember to do things when I'm supposed to. You can ask me to put the roast in at 1:00, and I'll most likely forget all about it(even if 1:00 is only 20 minutes away) until I come out of my "brooding trance", which could take hours.

I'll get to the rest later....
