- About Me:
- A first glance; I'm a quiet person who likes to keep thing to himself, but at times I can be spontaneous, random and a bit talkative (only when I'm off my pills). Note that if I act a bit insane; that's normal as I enjoy being like that.
I enjoy reading and drawing as much as I like watching films. I also like video games, anime, musicals and surfing through the internet. When I'm in the mood; I enjoy writing random stories and poems (mostly in my head).
