    When you're in love your brain secretes endorphins into your blood. Organic morphine leaks out of a gland into your skull, feels like a low-grade opium rush. Some people confuse the two, the head rush and the love. You think you're in love with a person, but you're in love with a syringe. Skin like liquid silk, hair, eyes, laugh, smile, impulses, trust, confidence, curves, perfume, sweat, affection, but still a syringe. You're high and hooked, and soon comes the more, more, more: marriage, career, mortgage, children, school, it's harder and harder to feel that rush.
    Happens all the time, men and women. Body clocks twenty years out of synch between genders, the rush dries up. You look for new hooks, new fixes, anything for that more, more, more. Some people burn their lives to the ground doing so, fodder for talk radio and daytime television. These same people assail the evils of drugs and urine-test their own children.

I was born to a Thai immigrant mother and a Willie Nelson clone in the aftermath of the great era of disco in October of 1979. The 80's were a great decade to grow up in. Who couldn't forget hair bands, mullets, Transformers, GI Joe, breakdancing, and the tons of other great things the 80's gave us. Er, wait a minute, that's probably it isn't it.
Currently I am working at Barnes & Noble as a book jockey and I also do night IT work for BankFIRST in Maitland. I am going to UCF majoring in Journalism with a minor in Computer Science MIS political science. What I really want to do though is be a writer, mainly of screenplays, but I'd settle for at least one published novel or short story. I will eventually be getting a degree in Journalism from UCF, and one day want to go as far as getting a Masters/Doctorate, just so I can say I am a "Doctor of Journalism".

Strengths: friendly (sometimes), good listener, imaginative, can argue about something at the drop of a dime (that's a strength in my book)
Weaknesses: addictive personality, hopeless romantic, internet junkie, overly critical at times

Special Skills: Minor web skills, can surf the internet while drinking coffee simultaneously for hours at a time, professional people watcher
Weapons: a razor sharp wit, that's all you need
Motto: "Don't let the man get you down."

Some things about me:

Arguer, storywriter, wanderer, thinker, and constant believer in the existence of strange things.

I am an avid writer of odd stories (although not enough lately, me thinks my muse is in a coma), I like to dance, am an Internet junkie, a movie buff, and I don't sleep much at night unless I drink a beer or two (is that bad?)

My personality type is:

INTJ - "Scientist". Most self-confident and pragmatic of all the types. Decisions come very easily. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population.
