Gothic.net Community - Marco Rafael

Hey everyone, I'll cut to the chase. Marco Rafael is just my pseudonym. When I'm not writing horror stories full of mentally messed up characters, you can find me reading for hours on end, going out to perform mundane earthly human functions (eating, drinking, socializing.. ugh), programming, learning languages, and especially very rarely, exercising. Oh, and if you're into personality stuff and astrology and all that: i'm a leo, entj, 8w7.

California. But my parents are from the Philippines.
