* I never really got much attention, and I show that to this day. I don’t remember much of my past, just a few vague clips throughout the years.
* I’m not as connecting with people as I want to be. I want people to see how caring I am, but I’m not socially well rounded enough to get that far. I have a lot of personality; but I don’t enjoy life as much as I should, and that limits my creative and social output. I don’t use much lingo when I talk, such as “off the hook”, or “rip it up”, because I’m usually too serious. Generally I just don’t remember any lingo.
* I get nervous and try too hard to entertain and enlighten my audience, but if I don’t try then I don’t get anywhere. I like to be silly as much as serious, but I don’t get many chances to show that off.
* Sometimes I get lonely and look for deep friendships where there aren't any.
* I'm depressed because I'm not on meds, and I'm not on meds because I'm too depressed. (2008).

I’m continually wanting, be it intense action and fun, or strict alone time, or intimate personal time with people I care for. I continually want to be passionate about something, I want results, I want to make a bold positive impact on life. Yet sometimes, I’m too depressed to be anything but jaded.
* I don’t let people place their feet on my sofa.
* My bedroom has an elegant yet tropical theme. Glass sculptures, tall plants and bamboo, and many tassels.
* I hide my perfectionist tendencies by calling myself too lazy to do things twice.
* I use a guide when I play a video game.
* I’m the first to ask for directions, even if I know the way, but I’ll give it a break if getting lost could be more fun.
* I dislike the news very much; it’s deceitful beyond what we realize, and skews truth to an extreme.

* Personality tests show I'm analytical and organized (note this entire website), slightly obsessive compulsive, and acquire deep relationships rather than numerous relationships. But I'm generally not very fun. I'm a peace maker, lover, and information organizer. I'm not the life of the party, in fact I avoid parties. I do like cute things though, and fashion.
* I love green fields, rolling hills, nature trails through forests, beaches, and spring rain; yet I also require the modern convinces of a big city.
* My comfort temperature for being outside is much warmer than most people. I dislike snow and or any coldness.
* I'm into extreme health, such as liquid vitamins and jogging every morning. I love to swim, jog, work out, and eat salads, any healthy food rather than tasty food. I love being healthy and my stomach requires it, but I'm often too depressed to be fully healthy.
* Just about everything I do, I research it first. The main websites I use are Google, Wikepedia, Del.icio.us Bookmarks, Flickr Photos, LiveJournal Blogs, Deviantart, Torrentspy Downloads, White Pages, Gutenberg Ebooks, Googlism, CNET Reviews, Froogle, Pricewatch, YouTube Video Search, Ebay, Rebate/Coupon Sites such as cheapstingybargains.com; Download.com, About, HowThingsWork, Dictionary.com, StumbleUpon Search Plugin, Gmail, and sometimes Answers.Google.Com

In-depth Biography One

Bio of Royce Barber (Zume)... Thriving far outside the fantasies of today’s polluted complicated mentality, I like to keep things simple with a serene state of mind. I have a pretty Mazda Miata sports car, and a heap of computers, but I could easily live without them. I have quite a few shoes, too, as I do like to be comfortable when possible. I’m not always accessible, putting away the phone and laptop when I get anxious. Email me if it seems I’ve fallen off the face of the earth. I’m getting talented with art and technology, yet with everyone I too have disorders…severe depression and selective memory issues. I don’t ask that you understand. My emotional spectrum is vast, I’m in love with God’s creation. I’m many things, but I can be described in one word: Christian. I believe my soul is protected, yet by no means does that mean my life is an easy one. To be blunt, life sucks, the world is morally decayed. Perhaps I need to get out more. I’m precautious, yet my spirit gets broken every day as I grow spiritually and acquire wisdom. One breakthrough I’m moving towards is being more social and self confident. I’m the manager of a Granite Counter-top store in Fresno California; it’s a blessing if I want to see it as one or not. I want a simple life, a happy existence where I can help others in great numbers. I want many things, but what I actually need for a peaceful life is a mystery. I try to live a pure and calm life, seeking & being a mentor to my circle of influence. I’m pretty good at philosophy and exploring the infinite possibilities of existence, yet there is a burning emptiness as I probe further into imaginative what-if scenarios. I know well that intellect and laptops will never mean happiness. The foundation I build my life on is the Bible, and trying to be wise with my gifts. Meditation with the Lord makes me happy, as does sharing positive art with friends. I need to be alone quite often to break free from complicated modern living, to breath and take in nature. I spend much time working on my website, and exploring the beautiful jungle habitats in a video game called GuildWars. I’m a level headed man of 23 years old, dreading furthering my education but gearing up to get it out of the way. Perhaps a PhD in Computer Science, yet with heavy studies in Religion. I have a high school diploma and various tech school courses. I grew up building computers and stressing out, and I’ve had enough of both. I used to want to own a mega million dollar computer corporation, but I see too much temptation and distraction involved. Not all is lost, I am learning the stock market, seriously I think I will be awesome at it, I have a logical mind. I want…I need to be calm with whatever I take on. I walk to the park in the early mornings, looking at flowers and mentally redesigning the homes. I listen to Christian rock and Anime theme songs. I like to be very silly in online chats. I’m a fairly small person, an athletic build, but I look skinny. So far this biography has been helplessly random, but I hope it’s given you an idea of who I am. I like to be creative, I like to hug people, I like to feel loved more than anything. At my age I still play with kittens and Lego’s, and always will. If I can find a Godly woman who will put up with me, I want to be devoted to her and establish a stable family. I’m not emotionally nor mentally ready for a family, but these things are all on the Lord’s shoulders, not mine. I’m into self improvement and want to attend more Bible study groups. I hope to find friends in Fresno California (and the entire world) who are seeking similar things that I am. Find me at NorthSide Christian Church every Sunday at the second service, sitting in the balcony near the audio equipment. After Church at 1PM I meet with friends of all kinds in Fig Garden at Harries New York Bagelry.
 

In-depth Biography Two

Royce Barber is a 24 year old American residing in Fresno California USA. He’s an evangelical Christian, involved in the nondenominational NorthSide Church. He loves attending Church and likes to think people see Angels all the time, walking by and we can’t tell when we see them, they could be one of your friends as far as you know. Royce is a loving person, passionate about his walk with Christ, and emotionally connecting with friends. Royce is currently the assistant of a retired psychologist, and soon to be a co-manager at a granite store when he and his boss find the right storefront. He likes to look professional at all times, especially for church, parting his hair and wearing a tie. Royce does not have many “bad habits” that he’s aware of, does not party or drink, does not smoke and has never been in a courtroom (Update: I challenged a speeding ticket!). He respects the law, drives the speed limit, and has never done any drugs. Royce has many hobbies, although not professional in any given one, such as: writing a novel about philosophical theories, imagery poetry, 3D rendering, gadget futurist, digital painting artist, audio and video remixing, computer repair, web design, and archiving Internet website links. He wants to get involved in creating glass sculptures, fashionable furniture design, computer programming, and cave spelunking. Royce wants to eventually get a PhD in Computer Science and write programs such as his father does for his company Sonic Focus, who is in partnership with Intel Corporation. Royce spends most his time surfing the web or installing technical software on his laptop, meeting up with brothers and sisters in Christ, day dreaming about Heaven, and taking nature walks by the local parks and University farm. The farm reminds him of how amazing creation is, such as rain forests, ice caves, water falls, and exotic fish. His bedroom has a tropical jungle theme, bamboo lining the walls and tall plants in the corners. He loves to jog in the rain, has an athletic build, and tries to eat healthy foods. Royce likes to keep a serene state of mine, in order to reduce a severe case of depression and resulting memory problems. He also tries to keep a tranquil environment, clean and organized, while fashionable and natural. He tries not to watch TV, except for an occasional anime or travel show. Growing up, Royce’s main sources of inspiration have been: The Bible, Christian Music, his little sister Jaimie Lee Barber, Leo Laporte from TechTV, Paolo Soleri the visionary behind Arcology City. Nature and gardens, Myst novels and games, Final Fantasy game series, Japanese anime culture, music of the world, and of course Lego’s. As a child, Royce had low self esteem and didn’t talk much, and is still somewhat reserved and insecure about life in general. Royce tries very hard to be a roll model to those around him, in hope that one day he will have a positive and noticeable impact on humanity. His life is an open book, he’s willing to talk about any subject, and he hopes to make many caring friends in Fresno California.
 

In-depth Biography Three: I hope to clearly describe how the Lord works in my life.

I'm Royce Barber, a Christian in Central California USA. I'm mainly interested in Jesus, Church groups, fashionable gadgets, computer graphics, philosophy, software interfaces, and nature trails. I attend NorthSide Christian Church in Clovis California, a nondenominational Mega Church. I bring the NIV Bible to follow along. I'm currently reading the Bible paraphrase book, "The Message, The Bible in Contemporary Language". I’ve been Christian as far back as I can remember, but I'm fairly new to studying the Bible. I’ll soon be joining the NorthSide fraternity.
My Problem: I'm depressed and spend too much time on the Internet. There is a lot of fear in my life, primary of social events.
I can help with computer problems and or graphics. I know many of the best websites and tips to use for research.
I’ve been using LiveJournal for years, but I’ve yet to actively use my friends list. I tend to add too many friends and don’t remember all the people! I hope this journal stays small and manageable. I want to find some Christian role models and stick with them.
I don’t remember much of my past. I grew up in Washington, mainly Yakima and a little of Seattle. In school I was beaten up quite a bit and didn’t have many social skills. All my jobs have been in the computer industry until now; I currently work for a retired psychologist. He and I are writing books and soon to open a granite store here in Fresno California. I’ve lived in California going on two years. We’ll be selling upscale home products including pre-cut granite counter-tops in standard sizes, large rugs, hot tubs, large paintings, large mirrors, bowl sinks, large glass sculptures, and any other big heavy products we can think of.
People say I'm a levelheaded individual, and that may be on the outside, but on the inside I go to emotional extremes. I get passionate about what I'm involved in, and determined to see things through. This causes a lot of stress, as I'm often jaded but pushing myself to get through the day. I’ve always had to work for what I need, but that’s healthy.
If I had to take a guess at why I'm a born again Christian, I would say because God put wise people in my life who helped me to be calm, such as my grandmothers who had kindness and unique in-your-face truth. Another would be Youth Groups, Cub Scouts, and Christian friends being more appealing than worldly living. I need a loving community, attention, and thankfully I was blessed with God’s people in my life. They would never give up on me, and I won’t give up on any of my loved ones. I hope to plant a seed of faith in everyone I meet, although one can’t demand a seed to bear fruit. Caring for people is a slow and involved process, but I know that it all rests on God’s shoulders; for only he can see into our hearts and nurture the seed of faith. I hope that my LiveJournal readers will be blessed through my entries, and find peace in the Lord. I encourage everyone to find a Church family they can grow with, and stay active in Church groups. One leap of faith at a time, even though sometimes just a step, we can spread the good news.
