So anyhoo, you all know me, but since this is about elaborating I guess I will.
My real name is Tom and I'm a 31 year old stay at home dad to a three year old boy. Since I'm home a lot I spend some of the free time watching horror movies, which I've loved since I was a teenager, and making the Peeps parodies.
I've never had a real job or career since until about two years ago I had no idea what I wanted to do. Now I want to go to flight school and become a pilot. Not sure when that will happen though.
I live in Sacramento although it's not my hometown and I don't get out much so I really don't know the city very well. I'm originally from Spokane, Washington, which I know like the back of my hand and we hope to move back there in a year or so.
I don't usually speak of my religion since it is a personal matter, but I do follow the Wiccan religion. Lately though I haven't really been practicing it. I think alot of it gets lost when I'm couped up in an urban apartment since it is a nature based faith. So I'll leave that paragraph to summarize my beliefs.
Like Funeral Laugh, I was an outcast in high school, with the ultimate goal of dropping out of society and becoming a Grizzley Adams sort of mountain man, just due to my lack or connecting with our modern society. I still am that way to some extent. I don't put much value in outer appearences or fashion and I sure don't keep up with what's considered hip. I guess I'm sort of eccentric and I'm somewhat of a loner, but as is sometimes the case, it's easy for me to open up online. In real life I suffer from a slight social phobia and hate doing simple mundane things like making phone calls. I think part of it stems from the fact that unless I know the person very well I'm not sure what the other person's temperment is. So when that happens I get nervous and I begin to stutter. Oddly enough this is the only time I stutter though.
Politically speaking I consider myself a moderate. I'm registered as a libertarian but frankly I don't put much stock into political parties. Last election I voted for Ralph Nader, not liking my other choices. I don't like Bush mostly for his policies and feelings toward gay marriage and people who aren't white christian conservative males. I believe in equal human rights so his vibe doesn't ring very well with me. I don't hold any extreme point of view. I do fall in the middle, seeing valid arguements for many different issues. I used to be a vegetarian and even a member of Peta (I must have been insane) but now eat meat and hold the view most others do of Peta. That they are domestic terrorists and general dumbasses.
