I consider myself a very unique, unusual person. While I am highly unconventional and perhaps even somewhat bizarre, no one is ever bored in my company.

Art is very important to me. I see it as the deepest, purest form of self-expression we humans are capable of--as well as nourishment for the soul. There is nothing like the healing power of creativity.

I spend most of my time alone, by choice. I'm not shy. I just don't feel much need to socialize. Having said that, the friendships I DO make are of a much deeper nature than the average. Once I open up to someone, I am fiercely loyal. Whether in friendships or romantic relationships, my devotion is absolute and I am always ready to rush to your side.

There isn't a lukewarm bone in my body, and nothing is done half-way. I put my all into everything I do, and I'm highly ambitious. I'm training to be a professional boxer/kickboxer, which doesn't leave me a lot of free time, but I make time for other things if I feel they're important. And even though I'm an athlete, I don't fall into the "jock" mentality whatsoever--I'm far more of an intellectual.

I tend to gravitate towards older friends and/or lovers, because I don't generally get along with people my own age. So don't judge me by my youth. If you get to know me, I think you'll find that for the most part, I am far beyond my years in terms of maturity and intellect.

I'm not interested in a fling or a one-night-stand. While I'm completely comfortable with my sexuality, I'm by no means "easy." At this point in my life, what I'm really looking for is a deep connection with someone. I want a partner who is stable and mature, and knows what they want out of life. Someone who can keep up with me intellectually, and who is willing to put the same kind of effort and commitment into a relationship as I would be.
