Julie

About Me

Known for its erratic patterns of movement and even more erratic patterns of thought, The Julie is an elusive creature believed to belong to the primate family. Its appearance would seem to change frequently, as there have been documented sightings of Julies with brown, red, pink, purple, green, blue, black, and most recently strawberry-blond hair. It is believed to be of a generally medium size, however, standing about 5 feet, 8 inches tall. Though a bipedal creature, it has an incomplete understanding of how to balance safely and is therefore frequently injured. It is a generally kindly beast to those it does not know, greeting most newcomers with a warm smile and inane conversation. To those it befriends, however, the Julie is highly unpredictable, as likely to laugh at as with its companions. Native to the Pacific Northwest, the Julie has been appearing more and more frequently in desolate regions such as Utah. It is inappropriate to say that the Julie is drawn to theatres and stages like moths are drawn to flame only because the Julie has a crippling fear of moths. The Julie finds performance spaces utterly irresistible and if you are looking to trap one of your own, staging a show is your best strategy. Student films are also a likely success. If you wish to keep the Julie entertained for long hours, ask it to talk about itself. The Julie is hugely self-absorbed and will likely think that this is a delightful exercise. If you wish to repel a Julie, show it its homework. The Julie, as a rule, will not approach its homework until it feels it has no other alternative. Familial relationships are important to the Julie, as are animals.It is unclear whether or not the Julie actually sleeps. Close inspection reveals a semi-nocturnal animal who prefers to do most of its sleeping in the morning. If forced to awaken early, the Julie will show no adverse reaction at the time but will behave even more strangely than usual throughout the rest of the day. A tired Julie is also more prone to long-winded descriptions, pretentious-sounding statements, and use of unnecessarily long or uncommon words. Unfortunately, this verbosity will only be used to further complicate various nonsensical statements. No matter how tired it is, no healthy Julie goes to bed before midnight. The Julie is a forager, preferring not to cook its own food unless absolutely necessary. It subsists largely on a diet of cold cereal and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In order to keep itself fully functional, the Julie must eat very little sugar, white flour, or white rice. Interestingly, the Julie does not consider most chocolate to be sugar-bearing. Attempts to convince the Julie otherwise will only be stifled by its strong anti-reality response.Despite its propensities toward clumsiness, obnoxiousness, and self-destruction, the Julie has proved to be a surprisingly resilient creature. It is unclear whether the Julie is somehow smarter than it looks or just very, very lucky. It is important that those wishing to approach the Julie understand that it is an unpredictable and highly accident-prone creature; researchers and casual viewers alike are advised to wear gloves and protective eye-wear at all times.(Credit for this About Me must go to the Brett, as the idea was completely stolen from his Facebook page.)
