This is going to be a fairly brief bio about yours truly, some because there isn't much to tell about me, some because I enjoy being a private individual with a certain amount of anonimity, but mostly because I always have and will continue to do what a great man once told me -- 'Keep 'em guessing.' I swore to myself I wasn't going to put one of these here, because of how much I enjoy the anonimity I possess. I'm not sure what's come over me, but I thought, what the hell, let's throw some caution into the wind and JUST DO IT!!! So let's get on with the rubbish shall we?

My name is Stephen, and I am 19 years old. A Gemini, born in June of 1978 in St. Louis, Missouri. I was adopted by my parents when I was 6 months old. We moved to Ohio and I have lived in the country all my life, on a 110 acre area in gorgeous South Eastern Ohio. Do I like the country?? Does Bill Clinton like sex?? Do I like it?? I LOVE IT!!! It's so beautiful, although here in Ohio we get a lot more rain than I would like but hey no place is perfect. As much as I enjoy the country though I love the city just as much, and plan to move out from living with my parents and move into a apartment in the city somewhere.

My family consists of 2 parents, still together after 30 some years, sorry mom and dad - don't remeber exactly how long. I have 11 siblings, 7 brothers and 4 sisters. I am the youngest boy, I have a younger sister, who is 18. We're spread out all over the states (US) so I don't see some of them very often at all. My parents adopted 8 of us kids and were foster parents to 50 some kids before they settled with just us 11, or 12, or whatever it is. They're hard workers, no matter how much I bitch about my family, they are good people and very special to me.

That was my real life family, I have an IRC family and it is even larger and more culturally diverse then my real life family. My IRC family has taught me many things. Not the least of which being, to be myself, and to never change who I am or what I stand for on the account of others. It is sinking in -- I hope. I feel so much when I am with you all and I enjoy every minute of it.

This is the last part of my bio and probably what makes up the biggest part of me -- my likes, dislikes, pet peeves, etc.. The number one thing in my life that I enjoy the MOST is music. I couldn't live without it, and that is the honest to gawd truth. Music fills me with a passion and feeling like nothing else can, and when I hear a good tune I can just FEEL it inside me, and I take it all in, and allow it to become a part of me. I love all types of music and will listen to anything at least once, even that terrible Korn group or whatever they are. My favorite song of all time??? Most likely, 'The Promise' by Tracey Chapman. It holds special meaning to me, and I still cry everytime I hear it. Close behind would probably be 'Lady In Red' by Chris DeBurgh and 'Truly Madly Deeply' by Savage Garden. I love a bunch and theres not enough web space in the WORLD to cover all of it. I love to read, and I write poetry and some songs. I suck at art. And have little patience with crafts. I enjoy the computer very much, this machine has been at the main stream of my life for about 10 years at least back when I got my first computer a Commodore64. The good old days, eh? I enjoy *surfing* the web but spend most of my time on the IRC. It's a blast. I enjoy eating -- I like food but am a very picky eater. Hate spinach - YUCK!, and I don't eat eggs or animals' organs. And I like things prepared juss right. I love MacDonalds! 3 grilled chicken deluxes, hold the mayo, and a large sprite. Wooooo Woooooo! I like Days Of Our Lives, and absolutely despise Sundays. Well I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture - and there is a limit to how long I can sit here and talk about myself without completely boring myself to sleep. Many of you can probably relate.

So much for brevity, eh?? >:)
