  • Artist Info: First and foremost, I'm a Roman Catholic. I'm loyal to the Pope and the Magisterium, and I get a little irritated when people go around spouting that they're Catholic but they think that the Pope is a total idiot, or that the Magisterium is wrong. If they'd read catholic doctrine, they'd know how self-contradictory their postion is.<br />

    That said, I love music and the written word. My favorite kind of music is those good old Palestrina-esque polyphonic choral pieces. I also enjoy classical music - particularly Beethoven and Bach (I think that both were geniuses - one of the heart, and the other of the mind). Occasionally, I like to listen to middle-eastern music, too.<br />
    I play the cello, and I'm proficient enought that it's an enjoyable activity. <br />

    As far as writing goes, I write the occasional poem. Most are old-fashioned, though. You know, with an actual meter and a semblance of a rhyming scheme. I also tend to let a tint of religious coloring into my poetry.<br />

    When I say that I like fantasy literature, I do NOT mean that I like Twilight or the Inheritance books (Eragon, etc.). I don't like those books. In fact, I think the former is sentimental drivel, and the latter is one of the biggest works of immature plagiarism ever to plague the literary world. I won't attack you for liking them, though. <br />
    What I do like are writers like JRR Tolkien (and not just Lord of the Rings), CS Lewis, George MacDonald, and, to a lesser extent, Robert Jordan. <br />
    I like sunshine and rain, but I hate cloudy days without either. I love being outside when the wind is blowing and the birds are singing.<br />

    I like cats better than dogs, but I'm not really a cat person. They're just more suitable for my temperament: I like clean, tidy animals. It's too bad that they're more detached. Maybe if I could get a dog with the hygiene of a cat... or a cat with the temperament of a dog. Either of those would be the perfect pet.<br />
    <br />
    I'm generally an open sort of person. I've always got an eye out for the bright things in life, because I think that they are essential to survival. There's enough darkness in this world, and we don't need to go around making any more. <br />
