Well, my name is Erik and currently, I am a junior in high school. I have a 14 year old sister and recently a 9 month old baby brother. To get the obvious and cliché introductions out of the way, I can be a good and loyal friend or a living nightmare. I value friendship and loyalty with the utmost of respect and those who don't can fuck off. I tend to be overprotective of my friends and am of the jealous type. I can get annoying due to my (and excuse me for my lack of modesty) innate knowledge, intelligence, wisdom, and ability to see past people's true goals. Personally, I doubt I fit into a "scene" or category since I tend to contradict that which people perceive of me. I am not just a math geek, I am good at the fields of science, linguistics, philosophy, and well, basically, anything that I attempt. I can be random at some points and make cynical remarks on people's actions. I can't help it- I QUESTION EVERYTHING THAT I LEARN. I also can't really be a Catholic since I don't agree to most of their teachings and have, of course, identified their flaws. I like to get into large discussions about the meaning of life, morals, science topics, mathematical applications and other thought-provoking topics.
Religiously, I don't follow Catholicism, even though I am one, according to the "religion" section. Many people believe in that stuff, but ever since I started Sunday School for my First Communion, I couldn't help but notice the many contradictions that the religion was based upon. Of course I still believe most of the ideals, but there are those which are too contradictory to everything else. I have a passion for intellectuality, which is why I would consider myself a Luciferian (and no, that is not devil worship, it's the religion of upholding knowledge as the true key to life, in other words another path to God). Many people claim that I an a devil worshiper or something of that sort. Nothing could be farther from the truth. People believe that God wants us worship Him, obviously because we choose to, not because he forces us. Therefore, He should accept most religions that are based with similar morals and code of ethics. We are His children, meaning that it is necessary for us to make mistakes.
We all know that humanity in essence is animal-like; so why should we be ashamed of our needs? These are some of the morals that we are taught, but aren't true. As humans, we must embrace both or our natures, good and evil, knowledge and instinct, otherwise we lose ourselves for who we truly are. Civilization has taught us that we have to destroy our natural needs, but this only promotes repetition and the destruction of creativity. Remember, the Great Ones are known for being controversial, NOT FOR FOLLOWING THE CROWD.
Physically, I can say that I can adjust. I have been, at some points in my life, unfit and fat. I am currently in an average state, not exactly "buff", not fat, and definitely not skinny.
I absolutely LOATHE those who try to fit into the scene or w/e, especially EMOS. I don't hate the true emos, I hate the wannabes and the stereotypes in them. EDUCATE YOURSELVES PEOPLE!! Emo is a true music genre (yes it is music!)It originated from the likes of Indie, Alternative, and Post-Hardcore. It used to be a way to express oneself through music (JUST LIKE ANY OTHER GENRE!)Oh, and by the way, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS NOT EMO!! They are just Punk (first album)and Alternative (last two).
By the way, I HATE taking pictures, idk, I have a paranoia that I am not photogenic enough. So, sorry for the inconvenience for only having one picture.
Well, I will post more info about me later on. Congratulations to those who made it this far. If feeling like talking to me, don't hesitate; you might never know if we become friends if you don't ask.
