A balanced person, both a successful runner and advanced student (I graduated from high school at 16 w/ 4+ gpa on a 4-pt scale). On the outside, I rarely show emotion except when smiling or laughing, so-so and negative emotions all give me the same level expression. On the inside, my emotions are much more extreme: when I'm happy, I'm [i]happy[/i]. When I really am saddened, I get depressed, literally. And when I get angry, I get [u]pissed.[/u] I'm proud to say I've managed to improve my temper over the years. I am neither religious nor atheist, but neither is agnostic the right word. In the end, I don't follow any one religion, but my own acquired beliefs and morals. I will always follow facts and reason before what I want to believe, and will not cling to a belief I later find to be morally or factually wrong. I am open-minded, and willing to listen, understand, and sometimes agree with all sides of an argument, but I will firmly hold my own and I know how to back up my words. I enjoy gaming, and the outdoors (no hunting, though), reading, and heading out with my close friends in smaller groups, but under most circumstances I can be about as happy on my own. I refuse to smoke or drink under any circumstances whatsoever. I am comfortable around members of the opposite gender, but getting close to them (or anyone, for that matter) is difficult for me. I consider close relationships to be one of the most important things in the entire world, which is why I have had very few of them. I think this is probably longer than necessary, but it's hard for me to describe myself, so I choose to write more rather than less. It would be easier if the questions were more specific, so if you want to know more, or have me clarify something, [i]ask[/i]. Peace, I'm out.
