An Experiment in Experimentation.
Aim
To prove that is possible to describe oneself without the use of personality tests or templates,questionnaires I didn't design, pretty gifs I didn't create, funny slogans I didn't come up with, celebrity look-a-likesI'll never meet or resemble, youtube clips I didn't record or any other media which is inevitably the product ofsomeone else's brain power which the average myspace user has decided describes them perfectly, but only inan "ironic" fashion.

Method
1. Avoid using the aforementioned prescriptions of human character like a leper with the bubonic plague.
2. Describe self in coherent manner without sounding horny, egotistical, suicidal, bored, creepy, or a commonlyfound amalgamation of all of the above.
3. Not fume and rage at the people who do this.
4. Fail miserably.
5. Dwell on this.
6. Continue to dwell on this while making a sandwich.
7. Eat sandwich angrily.
8. Decide I need more patience.
9. Smoke cigarette in shame.
10. Decide that I actually need to be angry about these fucking idiots, then realise the vast majority are justfucking idiots. Wonder what organisation I need to join to avoid these cesspools of bastardisation.
11. Fail to find one. Kick object into air to give it momentary thrills of both surprise and flight.
12. Realise kicking things will solve nothing. Set organisation up.
13. Realise I will not be willing to look forpeople mentally affable enough to harbour similar beliefs and leave manifesto half-finished.
14. Become a crazy person (N.B.: "Crazy" is a state of mind no-one has ever been able to fully explain tome; therefore to test its boundaries and explore this state of mind would be a boon to humanity if I took the timeto write it up). Spit at people in alleyways. Possibly rape them with a fork.
15. Embrace spontaneity and the "spur of the moment".
16. Decide not to act on spur of the moment, as the excuse of "scientific research" has never been a valid plea incourt, and is popular with paedophiles.
17. Wonder if account will be deleted for using the word "paedophile".
18. Realise myspace reserves the sole rights to deleting my account.
19. Worry needlessly for ten minutes.
20. Realise that this is just Myspace and it doesn't rule my fucking life.
Conclusion
I discovered in the process of this experiment that my life, personality and the workings of my mindare not going to be easily summed up within the boundaries of a myspace profile alone. So, we will revert to equations.
I split my time between music, writing and art. As these are usually mutually exclusive, and as I don't have morehands, we will calculate the equation using "m/w/a" as our notation.
I obsess over history, sociology, pyschology, philosophy and physical sciences for hours and hours because they make sense to me when little else does. This will berepresented with the value of "s".
I like angry fuck-ups, and anyone that doesn't make any sort of sense whatsoever. This will be represented as "f".
I have many problems when it comes to intentionally standing inside or outside of society's barriers. I am far toolazy for trends. We will represent this quality as "l".
People think I'm weird for this. We shall use the letter "w".
I suffer terrible mood swings, or, as I like to lightheartedly postulate, I sustain a variety of socially or mentallyinduced impressions often produced by a predominant quality or characteristic at the lowest or highest level ofactivity or operation. Or, PMT. We will show this as "ΔB", where delta ("Δ") represents the fluctuation in emotional decimation.
As I am a product of these factors, we will now organise them into some sort of order. In order to calculate saidproduct, we can use the following simple equation (Fig. II).
