about me

see.  i had this idea that i should do an “about me” page, just in case anyone ever stumbled past the site and wondered wtf i was… and as always, when trying to write “about me”, i’ve been staring at this blank entry for an hour now. 

i am… me.  i’m the mostest me EVER.  which really translates to… i’m nobody in particular.  ...but i do that really well!

arin was the name of my cat in a bygone era.  she kept me going when nothing else could.  it’s not meant to be “erin”, though that’s how most people say it.

721?  it’s a good number.  i liked it.  i’ve kept it.  with it, i am ~legion~.

i like art, books, movies, music, and politics.  and i’m opinionated.

i have 2 cats, bonnie and clyde, and a dog, ellie ness.  i figured there should be law enforcement (elliot ness) to offset the wild bunch. 

i crochet.  i’ve done embroidery.  i’ve pretended to paint a few times, mostly with disastrous results, but every now and again, i do a piece i like. 

i like rocks.  and candles.  a blending of “old world” with modern-contemporary.

i know the meaning of “teacup chain”.  and i can do it.  well.

i have a collection of keys.

i’m a moral absolutist.  a pragmatic idealist.  a cynic.

i’m sometimes a walking contradiction and i’m okay with that.  mostly.

i’ve the ability to become invisible at the drop of a hat.  seriously.  i’m that person you never see at the parties, but i’m always there.  and i like it that way.  ...‘cept when i don’t.

i’m an existentialist, with a deep fondness for nietzsche.  i think *everything* is absurd, me included.

i love world of warcraft.  my guild, my characters.  best. video game. EVER.

i’m underimpressed by people who try to impress others.  the namedroppers, the ~status~ people.  insincerity, inauthenticity.  people overly impressed with themselves.

i hate injustice in all its forms.

i love hot rods.  i have a tattoo.

i’m an atheist, meaning: i have no belief in a god.  i’m an atoothfairyist and an aeasterbunnyist too, tho i’m quite positive that santa claus is real.  (just in case he’s listening.)

i can’t cook.  i don’t even like to try.

i like death metal, because cookie monster voices make me laugh.  ...which i think is perhaps not what’s intended, but there you have it.

i’ve been a victim.  a survivor.  i’d rather be neither one.

i believe that at any given time, in any given situation, we do our best with what we’re given.  sometimes, that’s not enough.  and that’s okay.

~unleashing the power of mediocrity~  i love that phrase.
