About me

Dancing with delusion dear, snow blanketing the mind like so much soft powder, slipping through our fingers into the hourglass of eternity and falling back outside only to drag us with it, our minds following our bodies through an unseen universe of ideas that might not be, yet are.

I believe in the ordinary person, and I'll defend them to the death. I love psychology, history, politics, dancing in the rain, a slight dose of madness, and talking to my muse. Et tu, mon petit chou? Bwahahaha! Anyhow, try talking to me sometime, perhaps?

What do your politics mean to you?

Everything. I am from a family who traditionally have been untraditional, and in finding myself, I ended up learning more than I had previously thought possible. Though there is no such thing as a perfect party, I want to do my best to change the world in a positive way, and I believe that my politics, and those of allies and people of similiar bent is the way to do so.
