Megan

I am passionate about a number of things and I can definitely write that I cannot live without passion in my life. If you make it through this profile and you think to yourself that I am introverted and spend a lot of time living inside my own head, then you are VERY astute. I am introverted and prefer safe and familiar environments. I would rather pick up some food through a drive through and snuggle up on the couch than go out for a night on the town. I am a Christian, but I am very open-minded and eccentric. My only requirement is that you believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. By the way, I DO NOT believe in FAITH HEALING. I was raised a Baptist but denominations don't mean much to me as long as you're not into any strange fringe or cult following. I am an absolute sucker for poetry and the German language. I have studied French (hated it), Russian, Japanese, and German. I am mostly fluent in German and come from a long line of German ancestry. I think the German language is absolutely beautiful, bold, and passionate. I am a writer and an educator, so I spend a great deal of time writing and thinking about issues deeply. I enjoy thinking, solving issues, and being swept up in emotion-- because I believe life is about feeling things. I'm going to put two issues right out in the open so we can get them over with right now. The first issue: As most gifted, eccentric, and interesting people, I do have afflictions. I suffer from Depresonalization-Derealization Disorder (please read about it very carefully or ask me about it as it is often misunderstood) and Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia. I am prone to melancholy or Depression from time to time as any writer, but this does not mean I'm a "drag" to be with. It simply means that I think deeply and care strongly about issues. If any of this puts you off, then feel free to exit this profile. I am putting it out in the open because I don't believe in lying about what or who I am. Yes, I do go out, but I am usually flightly and quite scared to be honest. My head's not going to spin around or anything like that but I will not lie to you about my emotions. Emotional trust is a huge issue in any relationship. Either you can accept someone and love them despite their flaws and hold them when they need to be held or you cannot. I do not really enjoy long days spent out shopping or milling around town. I don't mind going out for a little while, but being out all day and all night is overwhelming for me. I also do not really like to get out much during the night particularly. My afflictions do make it harder on me to get out and participate, but I realize that I have to get out and participate in activities sometimes for the sake of life. Also, my afflictions cause me to have a deep interest in psychiatry. I study it, as I study many other things. I openly talk about the treatment of the mentally ill and controversies surrounding their care and medication honestly and regularly. I also talk about a number of other things such as emotions, humanity, stories, poems, the Bible, God/Jesus, the apostles, faith, the soul, language, disabilities, grammar, English topics, and other random things! If you want to have a good conversation or message exchange, then come to me! The second issue: To some I may have a nice face. I will say that my eyes may be my saving grace. However, I barely stand at five feet tall and I am pretty full-figured despite my lack of height. If you do not like this that is fine. However, I'm letting you know in advance because I realize we all have different things that stir up attraction in us. I'm not going to lie and say that a certain type of man does or doesn't attract me visually. I totally understand! I get it if I'm not your type. You may not be MY type, either! You don't have to make a fuss about it. Just keep moving forward and keep your head up! Things I enjoy: Snuggling Being held Being touched Being kissed Being written to Being spoken to Being treated kindly Being treated as a woman and fragile Having friendly debates Learning new information Learning new languages Reading Writing Sharing ideas Staying at home with someone special Spending time with someone special Sharing dreams Sharing emotions Joking Listening to music Watching television or movies My music style My music style varies greatly. I tend to listen to music in cycles. I will simply list bands or musicians I have listened to in the past or am now listening to. Tool, A Perfect Circle, Radiohead, Skrillex, Mindless Self Indulgence, Oomph!, Hund am Strand, Wolfsheim, Das Ich, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Muse, The Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Styx, Kansas, Wumpscut, My Chemical Romance, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, The Cure, The Wallflowers, Collective Soul, Bjoerk, Rammstein, Metallica, Megaherz, Fettes Brott, Jackson Browne, The Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Chevelle, Thursday, KMFDM, Depeche Mode, Deftones, Nirvana, Modest Mouse, Korn, Elton John, Thom Yorke, Disturbed... I could go on forever. I think you get the point. :D However, I do not like country music. I never have and I never will. I have too many favorite authors to take up this page with. If you'd like to share some writing with me, some poetry, or lyrics you like, then feel free!
