I suppose the best way to go about describing myself is to quote other people.
On Being Idle
by Jerome K. Jerome
The gentleman who, when I was young... used to say he never knew a boy who could do less work in more time...Idling has always been my strong point. I take no credit to myself in the matter - it is a gift. Few Possess it. There are plenty of lazy people and plenty of slow-coaches, but a genuine idler is a rarity. He is not a man who slouches about with his hands in his pockets. On the contrary, his most startling characteristic is that he is always intensely busy.

"I may be old fashioned, but I am right." — Max Beerbohm
"The making of one's life into art is, after all, the first duty and privilege of every man." — Arthur Symons
"I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours." — Jerome K. Jerome
"Here was a new generation, shouting the old cries, learning the old creeds, through a revery of long days and nights; destined finally to go out into that dirty gray turmoil to follow love and pride; a new generation dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success; grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken..." - F Scott Fitzgerald
"Desire is born of defective knowledge." - Thomas Mann
"Blue jeans are not the pants for me." - The Duke Of Windsor
But Onward and Upward...
In My Own Words
I'm a snob - an amiable one, but a snob nonetheless. I rarely offend but have been found offensive; particularly by those who can be thought of of insecure. I adore love but rarely find it in people. Philosophically, I'm a stoic Epicurean, attempting to balance my ataraxia with the demands of life.
