me? indigo child, crystal child ( early, very early if thats true) possible starseed, "guy whos too gerneous", warrior, spirituailist, Typo King, and more normally.. i am a Music nut, music addict, possible Audiophile, some times composer, Manga artist, avid reader, writer(how else would I get the stories to draw?), burgoning attempted linguist(I like to try to learn new languages), science nerd, unliscenced therapist, reluctant genius, former role player and honest to a fault (except when role playing, its fun to play compulsive liars). Did I mention I am afraid of crowds and im not sure why but I am sensitive to chemical scents... not that that last one would have any effect on my internet life... at least until they invent smellovision.
I think im addicted to Cristina Scabbia's voice, and well, the same applies to Tarja Turunen (once from Nightwish), Sharon den Adel (from Within Temptation), Esthero, and Holly McNarland.
I am also a fan of Stabbing Westward, Chris Vrenna, Typo O Negative, Rasputina, Snake River Conspiracey, JV Despres, Feedback Scars, Loreena McKennitt (did not know she was Canadian), Evanescence (Amy Lee's voice is beautifull!), Fefe Dobson and Natalie Imbruglia (if I didnt spell that right, correct me).
My religious beleifs I keep to myself, becasue I dont beleive that a person should be judged by them, and I grew tired of those who act thusly, so I dont talk about them unless I trust the person I'm talking to.
Currently not employed in any gainfull sense, but this fall I am going to take a course that will let me get a REALLY nice job at a mine thats not too far from here, two weeks on two weeks off, 40$ an hour to start and of course, I get paid for my off weeks. That will hopefully give me time to work on my manga during my off time, and maybe, just maybe, compose and make some sizzlin music.
Oh, and if you see anywhere you can insert a wiki link, or improove my user page, go for it, Id appreciate the assistance.

[edit] Techniques for avoiding deus ex machina
I have come up with a way to keep my created Heros in check by the way, I have bought a copy of Greg Helger's Shadows Of a Myth (which is a Role Playing system that he designed, and since hes a genious engineer and math whiz, the system is very adaptive and cohesive, it even has a random background generator in it, which is impressive), and I have "rolled up" all of my charactors in this system so that no protagonist can simply suceed at all times, nor can any villain simply fail "because I said so". in esszance, it allows me to write interesting stories without making my heros Gods(by accident anyway). Think of it, how the heck could Luke Skywalker and company get past a space station filled with combat specialists like Storm Troopers? such situations destroy the suspension of disbelief, and, well, in my opinion, they destroy the story as well. So, I roll when I want my hero charactor to dodge a magical fireblast or something, and IF he suceeds, I let him live, if not, well, thats his problem, not mine :-D. It makes me have to write ways for him to deal with his wounds and such. I beleive that this makes my storys better. So far, theres only one guy who has regeneration (which rolled up as "regeneration2, immunity to normal damage") and hes a mage, so he gets hit by magic damage a lot more often then not, and hes completly voulnerable to magic damage.... well, at least he doest hae to worry about bullets and swords.
[edit] my skills
I like writing up my own thoeries about things
1 - I am not good at making wikipedia based formatting yet, the formatting I have done on here and such so far is do-able because i have looked at talk pages, and have picked up a few things in the last few days. So i have to find the formatting tutorials page if there is one, and take a look-see.
2 - For some reason when I start typing, I some times miss keystrokes and omit letters or otherwise muck up my spelling, I guess this means I will have to re read my work before i push the save button. remember, If I forget, you CAN remind me, I dont mind constructive critisism in any way.
3 - Despite calling my self an artist, I can not draw, with any talent at all. Have you seen the kingdom of loathing? Thier art is better then mine. In that light, I have aquired copies of programs like Poser 6, and of course a few somethings that is special and not to easy to find, which I will keep secret, for now. These tools will allow me to draw even without any real skill for it myself. I am good at design, just not technique as you'll see. I'll make a Sandbox, or maybe subpages, once I figure out how, and show you examples of different things I can accomplish with my programs, I might even try writing up tutorials as to how to accomplish what I show, if this is the right venue for that (is it?). I used to go looking for other artists to do the work for me, and that, considering I had no money to spare, and thus could not pay anyone, so it kind of fell through, so I looked into ways of doing this myself. My goal is to make an animated series, but it might be smarter to make a manga type series first, so that I can get the story down without getting bogged down in the details. Besides, I might be able to gain a following for my work, and maybe some financial support for making the animated version. Besides, I can use the Manga as a storyboard.
4 - Writing - I think im good at it, but, thats only my opinion, I am afraid of people stealing my ideas, so I tend to keep it to myself, for now, but I am going to take a course in fiction and script writing soon. i do know about technique, such as syd field's storyline structure ( 3 acts, 3 pinches, and of course plot points) as films go. I beleie that this can be adapted, with minor modification, to series work, and of course, to my as yet unborn manga series ( note: im planning on making eight series so far, all intertwined interestingly. why eight? becasue i have eight protagonists I like so far. why intertwine the series? simple, then I only have to use one cohesive set of universal laws, plus then people who got hooked on one series might go looking for the others, becasue of thier similar setting)
[edit] Tasks
This list is incomplete at best. There is more coming. 1-make any band page better, if I find a flaw, this seems to need to be ongoing. 2 - get enough done in my artistic computer programs to start making pages of manga ( at least one a week will have to be finished to maintain a decent rate, so I should try to make three pages a week, so i can publish one per week with no trouble, if I am, say, wounded, or sick) 3 - copy edit this page for typos and grammatical erors 4 - learn how to make wiki links (and the rest of the formatting, for that matter) 5 - figure out why the heck my internet connection keeps dropping 6 - try to get people to listen to JV Despres's music ( hes good, but not well known, if i made a page out of his material and such, he might get deleted for notabillity concerns) 7 - figure out how to get financing for my projects. 8 - parouse www.cgtalk.com more often for imnspiration and tips
