It’s unlikely that I can describe myself accurately - once I think I understand certain aspects of my personality, it seems they're already in the process of changing. But for the sake of the myspace circus I’ll give it a whirl anyhow...
You could probably say that I walk to the beat of my own drummer; I like to think of myself as a free spirit and a free thinker. Sometimes I feel disconnected from those around me - unless they are people I consider close, which are few. I’m often a study in contradiction, so if you can figure me out then you’ll probably be the first.
I play hard, work hard, and relax even harder still. And I tend to do too much of one at any given time. I believe balance should be a defining feature of my life, yet it’s generally in short supply for me.
I’m a natural born leader and teacher; subordinate positions do not usually sit well with me. I can and often do question the “rulesâ€, sometimes even to the point of being anti-establishment. Not because I want to make waves, but because I can often find a better way.
I strongly resist change, yet thrive on it. I hold onto people, places, and things much longer than what makes sense, knowing full well I should have moved on sooner. Most often I prefer peace and quiet, even solitude - although I find that I have a big need for adventure in my life too, whether it be hiking new places, surfing new stretches of coastline, or just doing something recklessly ridiculous.
I have a great many dreams and ambitions, perhaps too many, but avoid taking action to achieve them sometimes. Not sure why I do that but I’m trying to stop (or is it start?).
On my own I’m remarkably driven (probably obsessively) to learn every last detail I can about subjects I'm inspired by. But the second I'm required to study something uninteresting I will likely procrastinate it to the point of failure.
I am heavily motivated by respect and admiration, and will go far out of my way for people that show appreciation. Disrespect hits me a lot harder than most, it's almost like a betrayal. And its nearly always an immediate one way ticket out of my personal life.
I’m not very materialistic, yet I can still appreciate things that make life better ascetically and functionally – without depending on them to create my sense of self worth. I’m usually repulsed by bling or flashy excess just for the sake of showing off.
I hold a fairly unique perspective on both religion and politics but usually avoid discussing either since it seems most people are incapable of remaining open minded.
Small talk usually makes me edgy and large crowds annoy me.
I seem to be perpetually running late.
I sometimes have perfectionist tendencies (maybe even slight ocd).
I'm generally reserved around those I don’t know well, quietly sizing them up at first, but probably too outspoken around those I consider close.
I think too many men are weak and have lost what it means to be men anymore. I also think far too many women are tragically self-centered and spoiled.
I joke around alot. But its unlikely you'll ever see this in person though, unless I consider you a friend.
I’ve moved far too many times in my life and long to achieve some stability soon.
I always defend those that can’t defend themselves, bully the bullies, and tend to root for the underdog.
and I aspire to be… only myself.
