I am an ASP.NET developer. I love programming and I spend the majority of my day in front of a computer either programming or something having to do with it. I am also an avid RPG gamer. I have a kitty that I absolutely adore - Sebastian and a beagle named Seamus (see the Pink Floyd song of the same name to learn my inspiration). I drive an Eclipse (my 3rd one so far), but I'm looking to turn it in for a Mini Cooper. I love music but can't seem to get into much of the current music that's out there.

I woke up one night to VH1 and there was an accoustic version of a song on by a band that I didn't know. In my dream, the song meant something to me and I was crying my eyes out in my dream. I woke up and I was crying for real. I sat up and took notice of the song and it was by 30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill. I decided to give it a listen. I can't tell you how much the song grew on me and how much their music means to me now.
A friend of mine from work made this video. It makes me cry every time I watch it. It's got so much symbolism in it. Enjoy.
Unlike some people who list music that they sorta could listen to, I'm listing the things I really love..out of the 100gigs of music I own:
30 Seconds to Mars, Nine Inch Nails, Korn, Moby, Ani DiFranco, Assemblage 23, VNV Nation, Dead Can Dance, Brian Eno, Dimonet, Fleetwood Mac, Funker Vogt, Gene Loves Jezebel, Hocico, Imperative Reaction, Janes Addiction, Love and Rockets, Mad Season, Mazzy Star, Minor Threat, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Sacred Spirits, Puddle of Mudd, SOD, Spineshank, Staind, Static X, Tears For Fears, Cure, Mission UK, The Strand, The Smiths, U2, VAST, Velvet Acid Christ, White Stripes, Underworld, Fatboy Slim, Paul Oakenfold, Deep Dish, Ferry Corsten, Seb Fontaine, Alice In Chains, Bauhaus, Bad Company, Xymox, Coal Chamber, Led Zeppelin, Red Temple Spirits, Depeche Mode, Stabbing Westward, Snot, and Lynyrd Skynyrd and of course, my friend's bands - Allergic and 4 Billion Strong to name just a few.
I recently just came back from a vacation to Arizona. My mom and Toni had me listening to country while I was down there. This is a video and a song that just sorta says why people like it. I am really groovin on this song lately (although.. no.. I would NOT call myself a country music fan)

About me: I'm a gamer. I'm a computer geek who is a certified .NET developer. I have my eyebrow, tongue, nose, nipples, navel and ears pierced. I have several tattoos and I like them on others a lot. I am the gothy chick who grew up and became a computer geek but can't quite leave that gothy dark side behind. I am a huge animal lover. I don't do drugs but do drink on occasion. I live back in Portland, OR where I grew up. I love my dad and he's one of my biggest influences and heroes. I want to get married and have children sooner than later. I'm looking for fun, but the idea of cybersex and chatting over the internet is a complete turn off.. so don't be that guy sending me messages about how hot I am.. hoping I'll wanna "chat". I'm not interested in being rated by others because I honestly don't give a rats ass how I compare to everyone else. I've been through a world of shit in my life... some of it my own fault and some of it environmental.. and have put myself back together and moved forward. I have the job of my dreams and I own my own house. I'll add people who seem interesting to me, but if I deny you, please don't be offended.. it may be that I just don't think we have much in common. My goal here is simply to have something to say and keep in touch with some real life friends along the way. I'm a real person.. and what you see here is real and who I am.
Who I'd like to meet: First and foremost, if you type the letter u in place of you or ur in place of your or say anyone with ne1, or can't tell me the difference between their, there, and they're, then don't even bother. I'm SOOOO not interested in friending you (with a few slight exceptions for real life friends).
I would like to meet a computer geek who doesn't have any problems with me wanting to play computer games. I would like to meet someone who could sit and have an intelligent conversation about programming.. or any intelligent conversation would do at this point. I have a thing for guys with long hair and who are taller than 6'0 (or at the very least, taller than me). I would like someone who is of medium to thin build and likes music and wears Doc Martins and boxers, has tattoos and/or piercings. Silly t-shirts from Hot Topic and baggy jeans are his style. I would like to meet someone who isn't afraid to cry in front of me yet isn't a complete wussy pushover. I would like someone who has as much of a passion for sex as I do and has a great sense of humor who can keep me laughing.
Hello! Long time no see...how are you doing? I tagged a few pics to you from back in the day...holy cow we had some good times. I hope your doing well and keep in touch!
