[S]hould you meet with approbation,
And some one find an inclination
To ask, by natural transition,
respecting me and my condition;
That I am one, the enquirer teach,
Nor very poor, nor very rich;
Of passions strong, of hasty nature,
Of graceless form and dwarfish stature;
By few approved, and few approving;
Extreme in hating and in loving;

Abhorring all whom I dislike,
Adoring who my fancy strike;
In forming judgements never long,
And for the most part judging wrong;
In friendship firm, but still believing
Others are treacherous and deceiving,
And thinking in the present era
That Friendship is a pure chimera:
More passionate no creature living,
Proud, obstinate, and unforgiving,
But yet for those who kindness show,
Ready through fire and smoke to go.

Name: Arthur Gill
Residence: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Sign: Virgo
Age: (put it this way, I was walking when Armstrong walked on the moon)
Siblings: Three older brothers

Hobbies: Writing, Reading, ('rithmetic... just had to put that in...), movies, music, computers

Future Aspirations:
Produce & direct one of the movies which I have written
Find the "perfect woman," get married and settle down
Transform my creative talents into the basis of a multimillion dollar global empire, at which point I can then take over the world !!! (if you're going to have aspirations, you may-as-well make them count...)
