| Bio: | Here's my mission statement: This journal is a forum for my thoughts. I feel no obligation to censor myself for the sake of anyone else, and anyone else who can do the same for me has my respect. I will now talk about myself, but keep in mind that my personality tends to change significantly on a weekly basis. So this will no-doubt become out of date quickly. [Updated 2007-04-09] Here we go again. In terms of the physical, I am a twenty-three year old male, white as it is possible to be, 192cm [for those living in the eighteenth century, that's six feet and three-and-seven-twelfths inches] tall and weigh 79kg [BMI 21.4], have shoulder-length brown hair, usually in a ponytail, blue eyes and usually wear black clothes. In terms of personality, I'm about as genuine a person as you will find, and have a deep aversion to anything superficial or deceptive. Some people might call me non-conformist, but definitely not in the trendy way. I think I see the world from a viewpoint slightly askew from the majority. From even a very early age I've strongly resisted doing anything I've seen as clichéd or contrived. I know I'm different from most, but I no longer feel any shame in that, or any obligation to conform to any particular status quo. I do often even feel compelled to challenge those blindly following the crowd. I am a geek and very proud of it. WoW, DDR and Guitar Hero are the games I play these days. But apart from those, I find little of interest among the current bunch of games. I do, however, have a very soft spot for "retro" games, especially puzzle and platformer games. I've always been musical, and I sing, constantly, whether it's appropriate or not. I occasionally try to play the piano, although practise would be required for me to attain any actual skill. In my friends, I value honesty above all else. In my mind honesty is a product of respect, and I, for one, have great difficulty lying to anyone for which I have respect. People close to me tell me I have far too strict a definition of honesty. Deception, to me, includes not telling a person something you know you should, and keeping strong emotions to yourself instead of sharing them. Anyone who decides to dislike me will find plenty to reinforce that viewpoint as well. An amateur psychoanalysis might say I suffer from a severe lack of self-confidence which stems from a very deeply rooted inferiority complex. Most of my life has been affected by chronic depression, and one psychiatrist even diagnosed me with early psychosis. I get anxious in social situations with people I don't know, which is something I'm trying very hard to get over. I'm trying to get better, and I am, though the change can be very gradual. When I think of the person I was at seventeen, I find it hard to believe that I ever was that person. Baby steps. I hope my honesty is appreciated. If you want to get to know me, or if you just want someone to talk to, send me an email, or alternately an IM through any of the protocols listed above. I do love meeting new people. | |
