New Romantic

..Okay, well in honor of my new tagline, let's go ahead and cut the shit. Everyone (few exceptions) puts their greatest qualities inside this little box for the 'world' to see in an effort to achieve some level of social acceptance that they either aren't getting in the real world or aren't satisfied with in the real world. Whether they're looking for a few new friends, a soulmate, or people to listen to their band (tee hee), we are all (again, few exceptions) on here for one reason: ego. Well, ego be damned. As a change of pace, I'm going to list some of my worst qualities; some of the shit you DON'T want to hear. How refreshing, but anyway, on with the show...I smoke. Yeah, I'm trying to quit but the fact remains that until I'm completely done (no cheating) with the nasty little bastards, I can't say I'm a non-smoker. I'm an asshole. Mainly for the sake of comedy (and I hope my true friends know that), but also as a defense; people suck and I'm afraid of them. I'm irresponsible with money. I buy things I don't need in order to fill some void inside me or some other such psycho babble bullshit. No excuses; I'm just irresponsible. I have LOW self esteem that I mask with cocky reparte meant as a joke, but some people actually take it seriously. And, oddly, those people like me...or hate me...either way, both groups should join hands and jump off a bridge (see, asshole, eh?). Now, you may be thinking this a pity party for two (you and me, dummy), in which case I know a few bridge-jumping groups you should sign up for...no, actually this me being completely honest with me...and you for that matter. I have a lot of good qualities that redeem me but, seeing as how everyone will 'accept' those qualities, let's weed out the bad eggs and see if they like this shit. More bad stuff: tragedy doesn't really effect me unless it has happened to me or someone I care about. I mean it does in that 'Oh wow that's horrible...what are we having for lunch?' kinda way. I think everyone is like this to some degree, they just don't admit it. I'm a good liar. Not to the people I care about, mind you. I can't lie well to the people that matter to me because guilt is hard for me to mask...I guess that means I don't feel guilty lying to people that aren't in my 'family' (those people being my girlfriend, my friends, and a few members of my actual family). On some level, I guess I think I'm important enough for this meaningless profile to have some profound effect on you. Not my intent, however, as very few of you are in my 'family' and thus hold no real value to me. Also, not my intent. If you want to get to know me, by all means, do so...If you want me to be yet another 'friend' in your outrageously huge group of myspacian 'friends' in order to appear popular and/or gain acceptance and/or boost your ego, then expect nothing more than that from me. I'm not sorry if this sounds harsh; I'm just being honest. Things are in perspective, now. I guess the ball is in your court.
