Okay, well, since this option's available, I might as well put something up...Figured I might as well introduce whoever cares to the boredom that is my life ^^ Feel free to ignore xD
On my Occupation:
First off, I'm sitting at work. Work for me is sitting behind a counter for 8 hours a day, usually 8am-4pm, answering calls and helping guests. Home is about 10 seconds away, in my own little one person apartment where I have a kitten and a bird to keep me company, as well as a wii, cable, and my laptop. I work and live on a mountain top right next to Terry Peak Ski resort, and I have to say I couldn't have found a better place to be- the people are nice, I get amazing wages ($600 paycheck today wtf?!), the scenery is amazing (get to watch both the sunrise and sunset), and it's usually nice and quiet. Right now it's the slow season, so there's only two or three other people staying in the total of 46 rooms that we have, and so I get the pool and hot tub to myself and can blast music loud as I want. That usually isn't very loud anyway, though x3
I'm kinda between college classes right now, having taken one year already. I don't believe in loans or scholarships, so I pay for classes out of my own pocket, which is part of the reason that I'm going without classes right now- saving up to pay for the next year that I can go. I do sorta want to rethink my goals though, because although I'd love a good practical job like being a veterinary technician, I'm much more musically and artistically inclined. Despite this, you will probably see very little from me in that I can't write much music, but I can play (violin, clarinet, piano, and voice), and I don't like to put up art unless I'm happy with it. This does not mean that I think it's good, as I think I'm a really crappy artist in most cases, but that I'm happy with the basic idea and with progress from another sketch of the same thing.
On Religion/Spiritual stuff:
I was raised christian, and though I do believe that there is a god, I do not believe that he is quite the entity that people make him out to be. I affectionately call him my big fluffy teddy bear and think of him as that strange, rich uncle that can do just about anything for you, but is kind of an ass about it in a way that makes you love him. Jesus is kind of that do-gooder cousin that you're happy to talk with, but you rarely interact with ._. The bible has been warped by time, crappy translations, and really crappy interpretations of its many riddles and rhymes, and though I don't believe a lot of the newer version, I do enjoy trying to come up with my own interpretations of older copies that haven't been tampered with as much. I recently told Tait this one, but here's a great example- according to some old descriptions of angels, I got the impression that they look more like dragons than humans. Call me crazy. A bit of mythology to support this is the fact that it's always been said that when Lucifer fell, God took away his legs and the poor angel was forced to crawl upon the earth as a serpent. What's a dragon? A serpent with legs. Also, there are records of winged serpents, a.k.a. sun gods, in many cultures. The one that I know most about is Quetzalcoatl- a legless, winged serpent that demanded bloody sacrifices. Sounds like Lucifer 8D *no, I'm not hatin', it's purely an observation*
I do believe in all things paranormal, and can sorta scientifically prove that telepathy and 'psychic' abilities are possible and do exist, although I'm always up for a good debate. I do not hear or see things, 'cept outta the corner of my eye or as little whispers, but I do know when something is near me and what its intentions are. I think in images, colors, and sounds, although I usually try to vocalize the sounds if I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing. When I 'feel' something near me, I identify it through these means. (Note: I'm still learning, but I at least know the no-nos and how to protect those around me, as well as myself sorta.) I believe that I have multiple guardians, and strangely enough I relate two of them to elementals. I myself identify with two different creatures- one is what I am, one is what I was. These do not include the various past-lives that I remember, though they are the two non-humans that I remember the most. Ask and I shall tell xD
I'm very open-minded about religions. Seriously. I'm very interested in learning about other cultures, religions included, and I respect others' beliefs because there is nothing but faith to prove that any one religion is right. As far as I know, everything I know or believe about anything is wrong, and everything anyone else knows about anything is wrong as well. Then again, it could all be right. Nobody really knows, because people with faith have only faith to prove that it's right. If you want to talk about religion, I will discuss it quite deeply, freely, and very curiously.
On Politics:
...I took a quiz in Government in high school and it said I had totalitarian beliefs. I think that the complex government that we have should be abolished because there's too much chance for corruption that the people don't catch, or that they make up. I like the everyone-has-a-say thing, but it needs to be a hell of a lot better organized and without quite the arrangement that it has now. People are idiots, and leaders are always going to be blamed for everything that happens to their countries. I think that rulers should yes, be voted in, but from a few select families that are bred and taught to be good leaders. Everyone else needs to shut up and be happy xD
I know that Democrats never forget, and Republicans are jackasses. I'm as open-minded about politics as religion, but I am fairly Republican and I think that people should lay off of Bush x3 That's all I'm gonna say about it, I'd prefer not to talk politics because I honestly know very little about it unless it's the system that I came up with. Yes, I'm an ass, but at least I want to avoid confrontation and insulting somebody on something I know I can't be open-minded about.
Wow...if you read all of that, I will seriously give you a cookie. I'll find out where you live and mail it to you. Seriously. because that's not creepy or stalker-ish in the least. 8D

So you're musically apt as well? Nice <3 that's really cool. You should hear some of the songs I've made. Here's a good one for you to listen to: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3221595/
Wow! You have a spot-on interpretation. I admire your views on religion. I was raised Christian as well and hold steadfast to many of the beliefs. Unfortunately, there is one thing that I am failing horribly on, and wish to correct ASAP but can't. But you'll probably find that out someday. But yeah, I'm open minded as well as you are, and I don't judge. You're like me in many aspects. I love learning about other religions and cultures, even though I don't share them. And I will never tell someone they are wrong when it comes to their beliefs. But someday, I would like to help people turn to God. The best people to do that to are those without, or those who've suffered a great tragedy.
Admittedly, what keeps me believing in God and Jesus is, number 1, my fear of hell and eternal punishment. Next comes the fact that I want to believe in something, and since I was raised to believe in God, I'm going to continue to do so. And lastly, some of the best people I've met in my life are Christian. Take Vic Mignogna for instance.
For many many years, I used to be into the paranormal and into telepathy and psychic stuff, but I grew out of it because the lack of evidence overwhelmed the evidence I had during my teens.
I am very interested in hearing about your past lives thing. That sound interesting =)
And when it comes to politics. I'm apolitical. I could care less who's running the country just as long as they don't make things tougher for me. I know it sounds selfish, but I've been raised not to trust the media. It can and usually does lie. So I can never honestly tell what one person is at fault when things screw up, which is why I blame the masses. I blame the people, not the ruler, for allowing the shit that happens to our country. "Power to the people" is my political slogan. and V for Vendetta sums up my feelings when it comes to politics and government.
And lol, you won't have to mail a cookie to me. Just come down to Rapid XD
That is an absolutely amazing song, actually....if i ever get into really good sketching and animation, would you mind if I tried drawing something up for it? And the ending fits it very well, actually. Like waking up to a harsh reality from a peaceful, if melancholy dream...
I'll skip over the religion stuff because that's a long reply and I've already stated my beliefs xD And the paranormal stuff for me...it's just fascinating and there are too many things that point to there being something more. Yay curiosity. And the past lives thing...it's something that's mostly speculation based on experience. I don't know for sure on a lot of the details, it's more just knowing things.
I agree on your policy on politics xD Media lies, always has, always will.
And AGAIN with the "Come to Rapid" xD (you and Tait both have said that to me now. but next time, I'ma try to bring Kazz along)
*smiles* I'm really pleased you like my work. Feel free to take inspiration to it.
Sweet! I think we really should really have a Coco Palace furmeet in the near future. I know a few others furs that are harder to get a hold of, but would love to join up if we labeled it an "official" furmeet.
Ohoho, that would be interesting, actually...I'd definitely be up for that if we can get all our schedules to work for us x3 I'm free thursdays and sundays, though this next week it'll be a saturday rather than a sunday.
Well I'm free tomorrow as well =) and I'm also off on Saturday next week too X3
