Uhmm, I never really knew how difficult it is to write for something when you don't really know what its purpose is, but I guess I should start with a basic introduction. My name is Joseph, I'm a Libra/Scorpio and I like long walks... wait wrong concept... Up until May of last year I was working on acquiring a political science bachelors, boring I know, currently that has changed to being certified as an interpreter ( Yes, you read it correctly, I will be making a living by working with my mouth.). The reason for the sudden change and me never finishing the political science path isn't because I suddenly understood why my friends said it was boring, but last May I was diagnosed with ms (Multiple sclerosis, not Microsoft and contrary to what many of my friends believe it is not sexually transmitted, I swear they seem to believe that anything a gay man gets has to have come from an STD/STI.) that has radically altered my life I will spare you the details since I highly doubt you want to read about my problems :). When I am not at school or in the hospital(I know that sounds horrible, but it's true.) I try to go out as frequently as I can, though not usually the nightclubs, never was into that scene probably because I couldn't dance to save my life. To wrap things up, I am an open book if you've read this far and are still conscious and want to ask me anything, well aside from things like SSN and my bank account, message me and please remember to tell me when to shut the hell up :).
My AIM is JTDA555(My initials, I know I'm not very original.)

Tv.
'Heroes' and 'Skins' are the last two shows I watched, though I do tend to really like British programming :p.
What i like to read
My reading tends to vary greatly, that is to say, there is no specific genre that I read. My reading list ranges from things like: Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind, J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter, Niall Ferguson's War of the World to Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett. In short, completely random.
Heroes.
I cannot say I have a modern person/s that I would call my hero/heroine, but there are three historical figures that I can say come close to being my heroes or at the very least, I admire greatly. The first being Cincinnatus, in Rome's darkest hour he put down his plow and accepted the title of dictator and no sooner as the crisis had passed he renounced his title and returned to his farm, the second is Alexander the great, for a young man to conquer so much in so little time, especially on foot, is impressive and the third is Augustus, the Roman emperor who gave such a chaotic part of the world more than two centuries of peace.
