i suppose this is where i tell a little bit about myself. i'm a twenty-two year old pyrrhonist skeptic searching for brain candy (the type that is easily digestible, so it fits comfortably in my alimentary canal). i enjoy meeting new people - especially eccentrics - who can stimulate my mind. my goal is to obtain a higher education, so i have something to talk about with random strangers when i'm bored. i find life extremely redundant, and i attempt to do things differently every day in order to make it more enjoyable. a lot of people carefully avoid me because i tend to enjoy challenging their preconceived notions on life. please remember i do not want to be your friend; i just want to dissect your brain into miniscule parts then subsequently stomp on them repeatedly :lol

incaseofafire,

Welcome to Booktalk! Hopefully you'll be able to have many stimulating conversations with people from this board. And don't worry - there is no shortage of eccentrics around here *looks around nervously* :lol

Cheers,

Nicole
