I'm slowly becoming a fictional character.

right about now, I look like this. i.e. recent picture.

i.am.un.interesting.
an angry bitter person. former socialite turned recluse, i generally despise all people for some reason or another. at the same time i am drawn to watching their behavioral patterns. i've been told i have more idiosyncrasies than most people, more peculiar behavioral chacteristics if you will. further. in recent years my loathing of being around people has become almost unbearable, causing severe anxiety problems when i'm around them and unable to find myself a distraction. i'm in my third rocky horror cast so far. i draw and i do digital prints. i prefer to do things in large format. i have trouble focusing on things. too many things go on in my head at once for me to ever give full attention to anything. i tend to get completely absorbed within my work and my thoughts when i get going, though i'm always thinking about fifteen(minimum) other things. if i focus i get depressed/bored and am unable to continue doing work. i work a lot. i use the internet as a job distraction tool. i smoke too much. i loathe television and radio. commercials most of all. i've been told i'm charming by a lot of people i don't get that b/c i'm a pretty big asshole most of the time. i'm firmly rooted in the idea created by one of my friends that there are only four sane people left in the world and we are two of them. i find myself at a lack of things to say right now. goodbye.

Last but not least, I think polictical correctness is bullshit.
