It can be somewhat difficult to describe oneself without drifting into ambiguity, occasionally. Often times it’s easy to assume that your readers assume quite a bit about you already. Even then, countering that with depth and verbosity may also deter a reader. TL:DR, yes?
So I will attempt to avoid both. I’ll skip the boring personal details while I’m at it.
In short, I am a self-taught artist first. My core will always be an artistic, creative one. No matter what I do with my life, that is the one true constant I have. I thrive off of it, I act on it, and I cherish it.
My artistic experience includes:

Gaming & Music
If one spends enough time on this site, he’ll quickly realize that I am also a gamer. I’ve spent not only over 20 years of my life using computers, but gaming on them as well. I also have played various console games throughout my life. Hands down, my favorite genre is the RPG. This trend led me into experiencing MMORPGs in 1997. I’ve played many and can almost remember them all, almost! The Realm was my first, and WOW is my current MMO of choice. In addition, I spent a lot of time playing Anarchy Online, roleplaying heavily. I still remain there in the capacity of DJ for GridStream Productions, DJ Lauri & The Meltdown; Mondays @ 5pm EST.
This leads to the topic of music. Music is a creative beast, and I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that Life would not be as nearly as enjoyable without it. My entire life has been filled with music, from old records of my family’s that I danced to as a child, the music filling the auditoriums where I performed ballet at an early age, the few instruments I’ve dabbled in, to all the genres of music I appreciate now as an internet DJ. Genres of interest range from Rock and Heavy Metal to IDM and Noise. It’s a great pleasure to share my love of music with others as a DJ. I quite like attending concerts whenever I can, too; the energy one can find there is palpable and precious.
