About me:

Oh, I don't even know how to being this right now. I suppose I'll go for a very barebones description here: I'm a 24 year old guy from Wisconsin who is currently outseeing the world while teaching for a few years. I'm fairly adventuerous and love to travel and meet people. I'm also a complete and utter dork and I'm finally coming to grips with this fact after years or trying to supress it. I'm a bit of a mystic and am obsessed with mythology and world religions; Joseph Campbell is one of my heroes, to give you an idea. I'm rather artistic, although I do my best to hide it; I'm currently writing an epic poem about a Lumberjack in Wisconsin who battles a terrible Wendigo. Its currently on page 70; I'm still not sure how I feel about this! :) More than that I'm a romantic, although this side of me has to compete with a rather strong 'reserved' streak in me which, in turn, has to battle with an extroverted nature as well. I'm a walking contradiction :)

You Are a Bright Star Soul
Like a shining star, you have no trouble being the center of attention
In fact, you often feel a bit hurt when all eyes aren't on you
You need to be number one in everything, no matter how trivial
And it's this ego that both hurts your confidence and helps you acheive

You're dramatic and a powerhouse of pure energy
You posess a divine quality or uniqueness that's hard to define
A natural performer, it's likely you'll become famous in some circles.
Just learn not to take everyone's reaction to you so personally!

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul and Prophet Soul
..
You Belong in Dublin
Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.
You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town.

Who I'd like to meet:

Oh, I don't know. I'd like to meet a nice girl with a bit of a dark side. Someone who's willing to stand up for herself and is going to fight for what they want. A woman who's smart, independendent and, of course, has a wicked sense of humor. Finally, someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously (I'd be bad enough for the both of us!)
