Starting Point

I've always been a thinker, at least I think I've always been a thinker. From what I can tell, while I think with my heart, I also think with my head. My family always tells me to to spend so much time inside my head, but I kinda like it there. It's warm and people there are friendly and I don't have to deal with those burning questions like: "What are you going to do with your life?"

I'm something of a philosopher, if only because I'm wandering through life and trying to learn more about it. I'm a student of the world -- I don't get a lot out of going to class every day, as I think I'll learn more from staying up late talking with my friends and learning more about them. I'm discovering more about my ideas, my beliefs. I'm definitely not a conventionalist, so anticipate foul language, frank tones, and topics of conversation that may not always be safe for public places. I'm talking sex, love, magic, spiritualism, energies, dungeons and dragons, non-traditional relationships, drama, gossip, philosophy, fantasy, reality... you name it, I"ll probably mention it at least once.

Liz isn't my real name. Of course it isn't. Liz is a character in a graphic novel I'm writing based heavily on the people I interact with. Writing as Liz allows me a drop of anonymity, and prevents any of my friends from wanting to sue me (nah, they're not that mean). Also, she's got some pretty interesting opinions.

In a way, I was inspired to start blogging about this stuff because of my good friend Crystal -- I'll link to her blogs later, as she's got a lot to say and she's really good at saying it.
I also just wanted to talk - you know, get my ideas down so they aren't all running around in my head like little demons on speed.

So, ye have been warned. There will be unusual things in here.
But that's okay, since I'm a pretty unusual person.
