About Me


07/5/08

Mogen.

Yep.

One day, I swear to god, there will exist a 'men's skirt'.
It will become fashionable one day.

My Interests

Well, first things first I'll list the 'ism's I subscribe to;
Communism and anarchism, feminism, transhumanism, anti-theism ...
I am interested in politics, history, science, music,
And British culture (yeah, I'm one those those people).
I also enjoy petty internet arguments where each responder goes from saying one sentence on a particular subject, to quoting and replying to long arguments line by line for pages on end.
But then, that goes without saying.

I'd like to meet:

Everybody.

Disclaimer #1: I am not very good at responding to comments. I am very bad at thinking of things to say, to even the simplest conversational questions even though to most people it would be a very easy thing to do. I find it impossible to NOT think a lot about everything I say, no matter how small, so questions like "Whats up?" I'm not very good at responding to. Usually I'll put off answering the comments until later, as I can't be bothered going through the mental strife of thinking up a response, so I will leave it until later. Later very often never comes, and by the time I do remember, it is too late, and I feel rude replying at all. So I do the ruder thing and just do not reply. But take note, it is not because I do not love you (or, you know.). I will be much fonder of you, if you have commented me, or messaged me or the like, so do not think I am not replying because I find you boring, or.. anything like that. The best thing to do is add me on MSN! (Either that or ask me direct questions) That way I will always respond to you. You're probably wondering why I have bothered typing this... I'm in an internet cafe and have nothing to do. I also want some individuals this directly applies to now to read this. I can't very well go comment them and say "I'm sorry I haven't replied, but I have NO idea what to say,"
So there you have it.
Disclaimer #2: Now for something a bit more pretentious...
I'm not going to be one of those people who says 'You can't change my beliefs!'. Because god damn it, you can! And I welcome you to try. It will be a learning experience for the both of us.
That is all.

Add me on MSN! : [email protected]
Seriously.

Music:

See 'top friends' for specific bands.
But...
I listen to a lot. From progressive rock to Oi! punk, and most things in between, I think.
...And accordion.

Television:

Not much!
Almost my entire experience in front of the TV features the Bill.

Heroes:

Richard Dawkins speaks my heart.
Old 17th century bearded men.
Other non-prattish people.

"Necessity knows no law, and the starving man has a natural right to a share of his neighbor's bread... Ask for work. If they do not give you work, ask for bread. If they do not give you work or bread, then take bread."

Scientology?
