"I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see."
The one thing I am really, really good at is procrastinating. That is the main reason I have a MySpace profile, and why I have taken the time to write so much in it.
I live with one foot in reality and the other in my imagination. Reality, though, is not necessarily what we see on the surface. We make our own, and thus, if we claim our lives to be mundane and depressing, we have only ourselves to blame. If I trail off, then, and begin to talk nonsense, or appear distant, don’t take it personally. You might call this escapism, but I suggest you try it out once in a while.
I love to dance. I NEED to dance. I dance Lindy Hop and Authentic Jazz, Charleston, Blues dance, very little Balboa (when I find someone else who can lead it), and even a bit of the ould céilí stuff on occasion... and I’m considering Tap and Argentine Tango when I get the cash. I just do not understand people who don't dance or say they cannot. They have not yet lived. Swing dancing is wonderful, and I have met the most wonderful people doing it. If I had a choice, my life would consist of dancing every night, and reading, writing, learning, and hugs and kisses. I like dancing with people who don't care how ridiculous they look, and if their face goes purple. There's no point otherwise. I like to act the idiot sometimes. I prefer to watch othertimes.
Sometimes, I get into cycles where I stay up until 4 or 5 in the morning doing nothing in particular apart from thinking about nothing in particular. Sometimes I get obsessive about things, like the time I stayed up making origami for two full days.
I can be lazy, picky, bitchy, prone to crazy mood swings, stubborn, opinionated, easily offended, paranoid, restless and generally annoying. So you have been warned! BUTbutbut, once you get past the awkwardness, I can safely say that I’m quite pleasant to be around. I’m loving and caring and would do anything for the people I love.
I can count the number of true friends I have on one hand. And I like it that way. Well, most of the time. Huge groups of people push me into my shell sometimes, so I tend to shy away form massive parties. When I go out, I like to find a locus or two, sort of like a landing spot for when things get too intense. But this doesn’t mean I’m clingy. I just like a familiar face every so often. Someone who doesn’t mind me sitting in silence for a few moments, and can be comfortable with that.
I’m pretty quiet but please don’t equate that with shy and definitely not with scared. I can talk a lot of rubbish sometimes, though. Nervous habit maybe?
I dislike dishonesty, fickleness, the loss of morality in the world, huge bouts of nostalgia, war, selfish and two-faced people, and I really can’t tolerate attention seekers.
Saying that, I like being around people as much as I like being alone. I love meeting new people and I’m lucky enough to get to do his on a regular basis. But sometimes I’m overly conscious about being too silent. I worry that this awkwardness intimidates people, or rather that it creates some sort of iron curtain between the two of us. I can be difficult to get to know, but once you get used to me, it might even be worth the effort.
People can be so disappointing. So few of them are honest with themselves. But I love them anyway.
I like to write, and someday, I would like to have my own little dingy room with a nice chair where I can be alone and write and drink wine. I have wanted to be a writer since I could read. Unfortunately, in the past two years, all I have only really written about other writers. And now that my thesis is done, I am searching for where I hid my creativity.
I love wine and cheese and being decadent in general. Few things please me more than being with a few lovely people, drinking good wine (or really good beer), eating amazing cheese and grapes and watching Nature documentaries, or some good film or even just talking. The wine and cheese can be substituted by tea and biscuits too. But not Fox’s biscuits. I will only settle for the very best. I like to cook, but only for other people. I mean, meals for one are just plain depressing. My specialities are cakes and pies. Mmmm.
I’m a nerd. I love experiencing “the pleasure of finding things out”. (Har har, see what I did there? No? Oh well.) A few months ago I discovered this amazing thing whereby I could obtain all the course material for the undergrad and postgrad courses in Massachusetts IT. So in my free time I’ve been slowly reacquainting myself with physics. It’s mighty interesting. Science is as beautiful as art and philosophy, and I would love to learn as much as possible given the limited knowledge I already have of it, and limited access I have to material. It is important to me to have an understanding of both art and science. It makes the world so much more wonderful.
I finally decided to take control of my life before I sat my finals. I’m getting off my ass and trying to live my life to the fullest. There’s no point in feeling sorry for yourself. It’s one of the most unproductive, self-indulgent acts possible. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be this: nobody is responsible for your happiness, but yourself No one person can make you grow, make all the shit go away and make your life worth living. I’m doing this on my own, so screw the people I have to leave behind on the way.
There are the lucky few people who get to see me at my best. And there are a foolish few who take me for granted.
One day, these people will wake up and realise what idiots they have been.
