I'm Ryan! Just a typical teen :) Surfing, music, theatre. = My life :3

Okay, that isn't entirely true. There is more to me then just those things. Read below to find out more!



"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore"

I am a huge fan of literature, in particular poetry. I have a lot of trouble expressing emotion and so I tend to do it through lyrics and poetry. I believe that there is a lot of depth in writing and you can learn a lot if you take the time to allow yourself to interpret the work in your own way.

"Presently my soul grew stronger hesitating then no longer,
`Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore'"

I am a very strong willed person and will stand up for what I believe in. Respect, it is something that should be given as often as you can. People who can be polite and respectful are the type of people I really enjoy being around. That is not too say that they should not know how to have fun though.

"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before"

I have my own hopes, dreams and aspirations. Although some of them may seem lame or stupid, they are my own and I have them for my own reasons. I, like most people also have my own dislikes and fears. Although some may seem silly to you, for me they are very real.

"But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door"

Philosophy is something I really enjoy. Thinking hard about topics and questioning some of the great questions of life is extremely rewarding for me. I am always seeking to increase my knowledge and so can often be found reading books or asking questions about topics I do not understand.

"Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'"

My friends mean the world to me and I will do nearly anything for them. I will support them and help them through any problem they may have, just as they have done and continue to do to me. If I can ever help a friend in any way, then I most certainly will.

"`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore"

I do believe in God. This however does not mean I am going to bring it up in conversation or try to preach and convert the people I talk too. My belief is my own and I respect the beliefs and views of others. Some people are often surprised I believe in God because of my absence of ever mentioning it.
