Compliments aside I must admit the need to conform to the social norms of our society has never exactly been a burning need with me. Indeed I revel in my difference my individuality I see no need to conform to any pidgeonholed group I am happy and secure being me, let the world make up its own narrow mind...
This section of the site is dedicated to me, indeed the entire site is a reflection of my mind but its here you have come seeking answers and I wont deny you. However separating the cold hard facts from the rest of me is a difficult process, my story isnt as simple as A/S/L? I will tell you these things to be sure but along with them you will learn more, I call this conversation and its a lost art these days...
Real Name: Define real? Well go on, think about it a moment what is real? is real confined to what we can observe? is it just what we can see, hear, touch or smell? what of those things we cannot see? is it more foolish to beleive in a god than to believe in an atom? for in truth we can see neither and yet many are equally sure they exist. My name is Ian but to you I am probably no more than a page upon the information superhighway nothing more than a vast collection of
Age: I was born in the year of the horse under the sign of saggitarius, Mars was in the second house and Venus the first... Did you understand that? I didnt but im assured its true. Personally I think Astrology is a lot of rather complicated mathmatics that in the end is so generalised a good medium (or a bad mathematician) can make it mean whatever thay want usually culminating in the person meeting a tall dark handsome stranger and �50 pounds an hour. My life is my own to lead and quite frankly I dont see how the orbit of a planet im not even standing on could have any effect on me unless it chooses to come pay a personal visit. People need comfort they need to think that there is order to the universe that something out there is watching over them or that their entire lives have already been mapped out and a glorious future awaits of only they keep reading Mystic Megs predictions to several million people that at the same time somehow manages to be personal for just them. The world doesnt work that way and
Sex: No thanks I dont know where you've been...
My taste in women (and yes im sorry to dissapoint you guys but it is only women.) Has always been way off the fashionable scene but then what did you really expect after getting this far? Today the image of an attractive woman is thin to the point of emaciated with boobs that cannot possibly be attained with a body so starved a tan that would give most people skin cancer by their mid 40s and no sign of a brain in evidence anywhere. Now I would love to say that looks dont matter to me in the slightest but id be a bloody liar and we all know it. What someone looks like gives a fundamental first impression that affects how you treat them in the long term, I cannot say that looks are meaningless but I can say they are not at the top of my list. First and foremost In my opinion is the one thing looks seldom show and thats intelligence...
True Long hair, pale skin and a larger body with something to hold onto are nice but If someone is smart and even better funny then nothing else matters.
Location: Don't you hate those people who mindlessly type A/S/L? The Internet
Religion: Im a Heathen, that is I follow a mostly self defined path of ecclectic religious doctorine. For those not understanding me perhaps the term Pagan or the more confrontational Witch might prove more enlightening. In truth im not a Witch that name being almost totally usurped by Wicca a group I do not identify with at all. Nor do I enjoy hiding under the broad umbrella of Pagan, a vast melting pot of different beliefs and religions often the stone under which many a cult has lain. Heathen is a word seldom used today and almost totally the
Marital Status: Oh how I love that term so wonderfully victorian in its accusing outlook. Either you are married or not there can be no exceptions this is the accepted way of the world and you will adhere to it!
Living in sin went out of the window long ago the sixties having been good for something after all apparently. Yet this innocent sounding term looks back at us from every direction. are you a Mr, Mrs, Ms or Miss? Single, Married, Divorced or Separated? for every person you know who fits those descriptions how many do you know
that dont? where in this innocuous litle phrase is there room for the open relationship? the gay Blessing? or even just dating? heck half
In answer to the question ive never been married and before you even think to ask ive never had any children nor
Musical Taste: I love all kinds of music an art far beyond my capabilities, indeed my musical talent extends as far as bodram and pan pipes and to those I am far from master.
I love music that moves you something that reaches into your soul and grabs hold of you provoking emotion and thought. I cannot stand the brainless trash of 'POP'ular music and the recent trend for game show style searches for the 'next pop idol' make me sick. Its talent that defines a musician and its passion that makes the music worth listening to. If music is just to dance to, just a pleasant tune or a catchy melody then it defeats the point of music in the first place!
Real music moves you it feeds you and teaches you and you never ever want to let it stop!
And I thought I was nuts...
Words of wisdom: Now Im not much of a preacher (I'll just pretend I didnt say that) and im the last one id look to for any kind of (sane) advise but for those still interested Ive penned a little bit of my personal feelings...
The world will always be filled with people that do not understand, and people fear what the do not understand. If we listen to the views of
So when the world knocks you down get back up and stand your ground don't take crap from anyone noone has the right to judge you but yourself. so take some advise from one who has been there. Life is too short to waste time bothering what small minded petty people think of you. live your life dont try to live a normal one for normal is a singular term a state of being occupied only by those within the confines of your own head.
Why settle for normal when you can be you?
