You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.
About me: i'm from Annapolis, MD, but i attend U of Cincinnati for Interior Architecture/Design. i'm an old soul, fit, intellectual, eccentric, honest/candid to a fault. oh and i over-think everything. it should also be known that i'm a raging dork, and proud of it lol. lots of interests here, and passionate about discovering new ones. ...........
i believe there's more in life than i'll ever get to experience/savor, but its a goal of mine to get to as much of it as possible- so everything from roughing it outdoors, to doing things that require sophistication and culture; traveling, exposing myself to new ideas and experiences, studying obscure subjects like metaphysics and the occult- all tends to inform my sense of self. i like being different, without necessarily broadcasting it for attention's sake- and i want to know everything about almost everything-the more obscure the better. i can honestly have fun with simple pleasures or complex ones............
i'm not into the gay 'scene,' don't like clubs that much, and avoid drama, so most of my friends consist of fraternity brothers.
enjoy my pix- just don't steal any to use unscrupulously- the karma'll get'cha, i promise...........
"I reveal unto you a great mystery. Ye stand between the abyss of height and the abyss of depth. In either awaits you a Companion; and that Companion is Yourself. Ye can have no other Companion." -Liber Tzaddi vel Hamvs Hermeticvs
Who I'd like to meet: lately, i've been enjoying my comfortable single status- but i keep an eye open for that guy with whom i could share a healthy relationship when he turns up.......
"Wait for the guy, who thinks you're beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who stays awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy, who kisses your cheek, who wants to show you off to the world when you're wearing sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Wait for the guy, who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you, and how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the guy, who carries you in his arms when you’re sick or tired.
Wait for the guy, who turns to his friends and proudly says:... "That's him!""
..................................................specific things i look for in a guy: kind, handsome, fit, masculine, conversant, HONEST, open-minded, mature, romantic/attentive, motivated in life...
shoot me an intriguing message and we'll take it from there.

(samantha) and I miss you! Oh and I can't believe you got a tattoo without me, that just means you need to think of another one to get with me when you're back in MD
Hey Peter. Has it really been 2 years? I can't believe that; that IS truly sad. We definitely need to change that. How've you been? School, men, etc. ?
so, how are you, and your shirtless lust? lol, i have to pick on you. wouldnt be funny f your were ugly now would it? i got me a saturnian talisman, per your muse. I'll let you know how it works out ;)
P, So how was Aspen? Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Have a very Happy New Year and a Great 2009! My family came here to visit for Christmas, they didn't like the Cold. I miss the West Coast myself but Hayden and I are doing well here. Keep in touch..
Thank you for your well-wishes. I don't think I need to worry too much about an obscene amount of calories from anything else than the alcohol I've been drinking to excess in order to tolerate family gatherings.
(I actually find myself saying that fairly frequently so it's ok.)
As for Muhammed (pbuh), he was actually a really amazing and humble man - you should read Karen Armstrong's biography of him. Definitely a man one would want to emulate.
