Steige Turner (Animal Nation)

A tidbit:
I often come off as shy. I'm not shy, i just don't believe in small talk, and won't bother asking you where you're from or where you work unless I'm actually interested. That doesn't mean that I won't talk to you, I just want to know what your biggest fear in life is. I don't care where you went to college. Hey cool! I went to Acadia too!If I don't talk to you for some odd reason it's probably just because I'm high out my skull and can't think of anything to say.Which is probably why I laugh at everything. Even the worst jokes make me laugh. Sometimes the bad jokes make me laugh harder than the good ones.I like weird eyes. Eyeliner. Glasses. Anything that makes me look you in the eyes.I am deathly afraid of cotton balls. I think about them and want to vomit. Thinking about them enough to type about them is basically the worst thing i've gone through in a long time.I am manically happy 90% of the time. You won't see me unhappy, unless we are stuck together, say, during work, while I am down. I am very sorry for this. Just hold out. I tend to get going again within a couple hours/days/weeks..?I am incredibly independant, and spend far more time alone than I do with other people. It's not that I don't like people, it's just that finding a good person is like finding good music on myspace. There is a lot of it out there, but there is far more horrible music, and I don't have the patience to sort through it.I can't shop at thrift stores for the same reason.I love making people smile. I smile at nearly everyone I see walking down the street in hopes that it will make them smile. I still can't figure out whether this is incredibly unselfish, because I love seeing other people happy, or incredibly selfish, because I love seeing other people happy because it makes me happy.I could spend the rest of my life laying on my back in a grassy field, staring into the sun.I could spend five lifetimes in the very same spot if I was with her.I love playing leader. Though, ninety percent of the time I have no idea where I am going, and will probably get us both lost.I love getting lost.I never want to grow up, and don't plan to. I do, however, love those moments in life when you feel like you have really accomplished something, and gained some sort of wisdom. They don't make me feel older, they just make me feel more complete.Tan skin may 'look better', but pale skin feels about a bagillion times better than that wrinkley old leather you're sporting.I never want to attend a funeral or a reunion. The people I want to reunite with are the people that I already spend my time with. The people who's lives I want to celebrate are the people who's lives we celebrate daily.I can watch TV, but only if it's a series on DVD. I don't have the patience for commercials. Except during the Super-Bowl, which I only watch because of the commercials.The best things in life tend to come at you completely randomly. If you go looking for something you will find it, but chances are, it won't be what you're looking for.I like talking to my close friends. I like talking about emotions, though few people will. I love listening to anyone that has something to say.I can't stand it when people complain.I am glad that I don't smoke cigarettes, because if I did I would smoke them constantly. Light one off the other. Nonstop.I wish that I smoked cigarettes so that my fingernails looked better.I like to think of it as 'obsessive compulsive bonus' (OCB), rather than 'obsessive compulsive disorder' (OCD). I mean, hey, I may brush my teeth for 10 minutes, 3 times a day, but they sure do glow!I can't tell if I live in the moment because I am OCB, or if I am OCB because I live in the moment. Either way, when I feel a certain way, it is the be all end all, and I tend to think that I will feel that way forever. When I am happy I am the happiest person on earth. I have never known depression and never will. It simply doesn't exist. Unfortunately it goes both ways. When I am down there has never been happiness and there never will be. Ever.I am a story teller and a dreamer. I am also incredibly determined, and if I want something bad enough I will make my dreams reality at any cost. Unless the price is the alienation of a friend. I would never do anything to hurt a good friend.I don't judge people. I always give people the benefit of the doubt. This way of living has screwed me out of money countless times, but I still do it. I like to believe that the average human being is good at heart, and only acts different in order to conform to something that they are pressured into being. Noone wants to be an asshole, but at the end of the day everyone has to eat.'Asshole' is probably the rudest word you will ever hear me say. And I highly doubt that you will actually ever hear me say that.I have cheated. I have been cheated on. I love falling in love, and tend to do it way too often. I am also more scared of love than anything else in the world, and usually run away as soon as things get too serious. You called me twice today? That's too serious.I'm not afraid to admit that I am incredibly emotionally broken.Nothing has ever come easy to me. Especially anything physical. Being tall has its advantages, but (aside from basketball) sports are not one of them.I've never felt like I've failed at anything in life. The only reason I've ever quit anything (which, incidentally, has been everything I've ever tried) is because I've lost interest. If I set a goal and don't achieve it because I've lost interest, it isn't a failure.. I've simply changed my goals.I like socially awkward people because I can relate. I love weird people, places, situations, anything weird at all, because I can relate.I have a huge man-crush on Pixies lead singer Frank Black. Talk about a weird dude...Don't just smile with your mouth. Smile with your eyes, and your entire body. It will make you feel better.I don't believe in time. I don't believe in death. I don't believe in fate.Say what you will about me. I am confident enough in myself to brush it off. Actually, truth is that since I spend so much time alone I have already made every joke that can possibly be made about me, and will just laugh at you for being so unoriginal.I like the smell of someone after they haven't showered for a day. Not their BO, just their natural scent.I have a recurring dream about my teeth falling out. I've heard that when you dream about your teeth falling out it means you're lying.. but the only person I ever lie to is myself...
...oh.

And remember: 'I' before 'E' unless after 'C', orrrr if it sounds like 'eh'. As in 'neighbour'... or 'sleigh'... or, uh, 'Steige'.
