That's your TL;DR. Here's my full bio:

First things first... I'm a gun toting, cigarette smoking, game playing, novel writing, red wine drinking, fast driving, book reading... lady.

Born in Devon, England, I was brought over to the States some three weeks later. I moved around a lot, so good luck in getting a solid answer to the question "Where are you from?" You'll most likely get a dry, "From the Internet." After two elementary-schools, one middle-school, three high-schools and two colleges, I've finally taken on a new territory: Orlando, Florida. I am 22 years old and have no problem abusing that as much as possible. In other words, I affectionately call myself a lush. I might be relatively petite but I can probably out-drink you. I'm sure I've been told by someone somewhere at some point that this isn't something I should be proud of, but well, I'm stubborn.

I am, first and foremost, a philosopher. I mean this in the Socratic sense in that I do not claim to truly know anything, except perhaps, the Cartesian cogito ergo sum. Call it cliché--I call it the only undoubtable fact I've encountered, subjectively speaking of course. I also would vehemently argue that the only objective truth in this world is that there is no objective truth. I will, however, spare no expense letting you know exactly how I feel about a given topic. I am a huge fan of Jean-Paul Sartre, and I believe Sartrean Existentialism is something every person should read into and perhaps even live by. However, my favorite book of all time was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. You may have heard of it? The Great Gatsby

I am a post-theist, agnostic atheist, whatever you prefer. I have a compulsion towards proper grammar and intellectuals who smoke, a healthy appetite for dry red wines, and a sharp tongue when I am provoked. I'm socially awkward around strangers and a sarcastic asshole around my friends. I hate slow drivers and people with bad etiquette. I have an unhealthy amount of pride in my intelligence and have a love-affair with my own sense of morality. I am also quite charming.

I'm pretty much the girlfriend you wish you had or the girl you'd love to hate but just can't... Because I'm just so goddamn spectacular.Oh, and the singularly most important thing you should know about me is that I'm in love with a man named Eric Wallman. He's a Philosophy Professor. Totally normal.

If you care to harass me, my Skype Name is missvdh. I might answer.

      Full Name: Johnathan von der Heyde

      Nickname: N/A

      Age: 19

      Sex: Male, derp

      Location: Orlando, FL

      Religion: I don't subscribe to one

      Political Stance: I don't know

      Philosophy: Neutral Monism [ever changing]

I have a hard time giving a fuck about anything, so I got my sister [Rin] to write this. I'm also apparently lazy. My days are spent in a lackadaisical attempt to find a job, playing Call of Duty: MW2, sleeping, drinking, smoking cigarettes, dubstep/laserbass/etc track-hunting, eating my roommates out of house and home, and reading into physics that would be way above your head. In fact, I probably know more about physics than your college professor does, and certainly more than your high school teachers ever dreamed of knowing. My goal in life, naturally, is to enter the field of particle physics and discover what I call the "theory of everything." My immediate plan, however, is to join the Navy and enter the Nuclear program. Who else is going to pay for my school? I'm probably one of the most intelligent people you've ever met, but I'd never admit that. I don't give a fuck about social-dynamics, which you'd find out pretty quickly if you ever met me. I'm a big picture kind of person... Or maybe, a small picture kind of guy. Doesn't matter. My views on reality and the nature of consciousness would probably make you blow your brains out, but that's okay, I probably wouldn't care.
Lastly, my favorite quote is "God does not play dice," said by, of course, Albert Einstein.

Full Name: Texanna Day 

Nickname: Tex 

Age: 19 

Sex: Female 

Location: Orlando, FL [Summer] Hempstead, NY [School Year] 

Religion: Agnostic 

Political Stance: Socially liberal 

Philosophy: I see that there is evil, and I know that there is good.

Growing up in the humdrum of central Florida, Texanna became an expert on escapism. She dreamt of living amongst the white tigers of India, arriving on the beautiful subcontinent by means of her cardboard rocket ship that she built from an old refrigerator box. This isn’t to say she hasn’t grasped what reality is since she’s accepted her fate as another drone by attempting to achieve her bachelor’s degree in Anthropology at Hofstra University on Long Island. Assuming she doesn’t drop out to achieve her newest wild fantasy of living among the Amazon natives or simply fails, she’ll be graduating in 2014. However, her dreams of grandeur cloud her judgment and dropping out looks more and more appealing the closer the “real world” gets, after all, it is a terrifying concept. Once she eventually takes the leap into “real world,” she hopes to become either an archaeologist or a professor in the cultural anthropologic field. Along with her love of history and culture, photography holds a burning passion in her heart. There is a constant battle over whether or not it or anthropology should be her major, but the rumbling of her tummy from hunger generally settles the debate. Even so, her Rebel XS and Zenit 3m are two of her most valued possessions, next to her ever-growing library. Her collection of books contains authors varying from Tamora Pierce to Kurt Vonnegut to Michel Foucault to William Shakespeare. It is this library that has contributed to her lack of outdoorsy activity, but continual fruitless attempts, and has only hindered her tanning, keeping her nice and pale all in style for the new vampyre rage. Unlike her sparkly counterparts though, she has not been one age for, “a while.” Rather only one year at a time and this year catches her at the ripe young age of nineteen. Hopefully no bite will change this aging process or her desire to write and more importantly, write well.

Full Name: Gamma-Rei Aventure

Nickname: Gamma

Age: 27 

Sex: Male, or whatever. 

Location: Orlando, FL 

Religion: No, I filled up on breadsticks 

Political Stance: Post Scarcity Communistic Inclusiveness 

Philosophy: Transhumanism

     I’m a hyper-charismatic, hypocritical, sarcastic, genius, time-traveling, smoking, sharp tongued, extroverted scientist adventurer from space with a devil may care attitude and a preternatural ability to get in and out of trouble. If you have affairs, I’ll meddle in them. If you have beliefs, I’ll insult them. If you have opinions, I’ll argue against them. If you have broken electronics, I’ll fix them. If you have a mind, I’ll blow it.

I'm an ENFP. I love starting things, and people around me often become energized (or infuriated) with my enthusiasm. I put all my eggs in one basket, then I get bored with that basket and get a more interesting basket, then I want the old basket back but I can't remember where I put it.

     I’m working hardcore towards making all of us immortal cyborgs. In 20 years when all you assholes never have to worry about dying, or getting sick, or any of the other miserable things that we deal with on a daily basis and accept as part of the “human condition”, you’ll have me to thank.

     I like strong drinks, classy joints, mentholated cigarettes, caffeinated pop, hot women, fast motorcycles, tiny guns, electronic gadgets, awesome hair, Victorian clothes, sexy boots, thick books, ancient cultures, circuitous plots, heated debates, ridiculous video-games, 1920’s class, and goggles.

     Everything in this biography is a lie, and 100% true. If you actually want to know anything about me at all, especially if you’re an attractive woman, fucking Skype me at Quixion. Pokemon, like a boss.
