I thought I'd just say I hate guys who have too much bullshit to say about themselves and their art work. There's a difference between those who simply put it out there instead of just talking, and those who say they're gonna put it out there, or who begin to put it out there but still have talked more than created work. Yeah, I hate you.
Create your own Friend Test here
Fascists, self deprecating-insipid-nihilists, people who discover a philosophy that is a threat to humanity and think it's for them, aloof indie kids, People who talk like: "indeed!" and "I find it really amusing!" and "When one realises..." and "my dear...you...", sadists, middle class subtley racist but don't know it white teenagers, people who are only funny through sarcasm, competitive people, rigorous theists, people who brag about top shop, those who think they're oscar wilde, people who follow the post modern outlook of embracing your consumer culture, people who say: "it's all about the working class maaannnn"...I'm hypothesizing a totally new kind of holocaust here...
Haha, people know how much I love this film. I do love some films more, but I'm obsessed with the twins.
Just...funny people who are sort of goofy, nice and genuine. That is all it takes for me to really like someone. The best thing you can do with someone else is burst out laughing with them for ages. It is a really joyful thing. You really feel like this person is your friend.
Couples from backward towns
children and really nice, smiley and immensely sincere people who are impulsive and embarrassed by themselves...and say the word "amazing" a lot hahah and are in awe of many things. They call a lot of things "amazing". reallly really goodhearteddddd goofs. People who say the word "nice" a lot. "That's nice." "Yeah it's really nice". People who have an unpredictable sense of humour that makes people give them bemused expressions or makes their friends look to the side, blush, and then smirk going: "Oh-kay, Adam!". I also realised recently that I can only talk to really erratic and kind of fucked up weirdos. Or just weirdos because they are very accepting of other people hahah. I guess it's also because i'm kind of a weirdo
shy people who result in hesitating and leaving their sentences unfinished when persevearing with speech, people who are interested in hearing a life story, people who are bestfriends with their parents, actual introverts who read and have no friends, maybe two friends or something, Stephen Sturgeon again (though i aparently need to forget about this now), T.S Eliot, i always wonder what it would be like to ACTUALLY see Billie Holiday standing right infront of you, Duke Ellington (I bet he'd think i was lame), Toulous-Lautrec, what a sight that would be!, erm...Tom Riddle.Graphologists, Mr Cooper!, Andrew Layzell! My juvenile delinquent mate from Farnborough who frequently gets drunk and throws...things...at his next door neighbours house, cats, pandas, tigers, lion cubs and goats.
Moreover.........people with a generally egalitarian attitude towards everyone they meet! Also aparently i don't smile often which is why people aren't too fond of me. You know many answers and origins are usually very simple but lead to very complicated conclusions. I think that just something simple like me not smiling often or slouching or having short hair and looking like harry potter can lead to a lot of people not liking me too much. Or not being able to stand around me in public.
Also, I am interested in making some real life friends too. Criteria for that type is more or less the same as the above however I'll say a little bit more: People who are interested in everything and very comfortable with their surroundings. People who will talk about everything without fretting about the subject not being mentally stimulating. They find everything stimulating. Though it's understandable if the topic involves robust and hunky rock stars or edward larrikin. Or Kate Moss. Or Doherty. Actually wouldn't mind talking about him. And er...no tv programmes either, I mean atleast not zealously, like talking about the characters as if they were real life people and being all like "HE'S WELL OUT OF ORDER". Atleast be a little satirical or aware of how inane it all is, please. Smile or something. Ha. You know I talked about Sabrina the Teenage witch with these girls in my class for the entire morning before registration. I don't watch it now though, I guess it was just some nice nostalga. I hope neither of them still watch it either.
it's sad to grow up! This was taken on graduation day by Sara Hailan in my class. Can you spot me?
Also if you live very far away like in the states and are slightly worried that it might be quite unrealistic for us to be friends then i must tell you that you are sadly mistaken for i really really love people from FAR FAR FAR FAR away. Mainly because I want them to take me away with them. Or something.
People filled with love. And people who cry at silly little things, and people who cry a lot basically. People who don't have that much hatred or hostility towards anyone. People who are nice to their family hahaha unless their family are horrible. People who are not picky about where to hang out and don't think everything is shit and don't get bored of everything cause "it's so shit". People who think "everything's a picture".
Teenage girls who are insecure about their looks and make funny faces when they look into the mirror. Teenage girls in general. Girls in general. I like girls, they are nice! I guess girls who won't get weird when i have a camera with me. Girls who just sit there and don't mind me taking pictures hahaha. Anyone who doesn't mind me taking pictures.
Creative people who have a goal in liiiiifee...and do things other than druggssss and shit things like that. I think someone is bound to read ALL OF THIS. hahaha. And YOU are the person i want to talk to!!! Though i know some other great people won't read it...like my friends :( hahaha but it doesn't matter. It's not that important hahaha. it's not my NOVEL.
I like people who still feel like children, despite being pretty intellectual. I know it's confusing, they have a pHd in continental philosophy but say:"i feel...like...i'm ten!". Everyone around me is growing up very quickly and it is making me feel very sad. And someone who is interested in star signs. And nice people. Genuine...i think I've said this all before, I am boring you all. I repeat myself too much because I promptly forget most of what I have said before.
Here is some inconvenient honesty for you. Adolescence has made me a wreck. I really hope it's all over very soon.
Those who have the strange condition of only wanting to remain platonically with someone when in love.
"I want you for dreaming, not for love."
Fernando Pessoa, "Sleep While I"
the below photo is a joke. Ahem. But it's nice don't you think??
Just a warning. Please don't talk to me if you are racist. I HATE RACISTS WITH A PASSION. Don't talk to me if you are homophobic as well. I don't consider friendships with racists or homophobes. That is all.

These people are really just people who I am in awe of and find aspirational. I have a lot of heroes. I cannot list them all!
These are just people I admire I guess...
And you know what, just anyone who doesn't drink, take drugs, or smoke and who has a real goal in life...or passion that they are obsessed with and someone who is obsessively ethical. And if I find someone lik ethat who does drink, smoke and take drugs, well then, that's alright too.
I'd like to say that I have A LOT admiration for very knowledgable and cultured people, but you know, it's not that big of a deal really.
And you know what else? People should have heroes. I understand that the existance of the "celebrity" in today's culture has fucked everything up and has lead to young people not really aspiring to anything or lacking in inspiration, but you shouldn't forget how it used to be. And you shouldn't accept it either. So people with heroes are good.
