I am Quirky, Spontaneous, and Open.
My Self-Summary
I guess we're all winners in this world. After all, we were all the
fastest sperm. However, now that we've been flung out into the
world, we meet up with millions of others, some like ourselves,
some completely opposite. It's hard to put that in a little box
here where we try to define ourselves in a sea of thousands of
other unique individuals. I can certainly try, can't I?
I love
movies, I
love music, and I love
video games. The first I'm
definitely a buff of, the second I seem to have an openness and
fondness for, and the third that can sometimes be a nasty habit
that creeps up when I should be studying.
I love movies both good and bad. I can definitely sit down and
watch a classic like
Dog Day Afternoon or Rashomon
to watching something modern like
Oldboy or watch something utterly awful
like a Brendan Fraser movie. I've learned this year that even if
it's a bad movie, there's still bad entertaining and bad AWFUL.
Recent Nicholas Cage movies forming a good chunk of the former and
recent video game movies forming a chunk of the latter. I think
Romantic Comedies are silly and getting worse with every year that
passes, not much could really hit the high note that
Annie Hall or
When Harry Met
Sally did.
I love music, did piano as a child, just play recreationally now. I
can listen to just about anything and it will resonate with me on
some note, though not a big fan of reggae.
I've definitely been a dork about video games during my high school
years. I play less now since it's a more rewarding experience to go
out and meet new people on a free nice day, but when it's rainy
there's no reason not to fire up a nice game of
Mario Kart.
I have my ups and downs (who doesn't, right?) but I try my best to
not let it affect me. Gotta feel the lows to truly appreciate the
highs, no? I can be impulsive at times, and I'm always open to new
experiences, but I don't believe in jumping to conclusions nor
passing judgment without a full understanding and the occasional
hint of empathy.
I also believe in deodorant. Unless you emanate a natural aura of
honey and daisies you better be wearing it.
Ciao.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm studying at University of Toronto, working at a Sales job for
the summer. During my free time I'd be chilling with pals or just
taking a nice nap on a saturday afternoon.
I’m really good at
Mario Kart. Not Driving though, what do you expect from an
asian?
Listening, talking, discussing. I've spent a life caught between
debates and learning useless trivia so I can talk about and listen
to just about anything.
Pretty much anything that involves a sense of competition, I try
harder in.
Making myself seem more pretentious than I actually am in terms of
artistic tastes.
The first things people usually notice about me
That I'm terribly offensive and crude. I guess that's what happens
when you use
The Aristocrats as an
icebreaker. It's usually a stranger leaving a comment to one of my
friends describing me as either funny, rude, or both.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Ah, favorites, not "every movie/book/food/song I liked," no? It's
not easy remembering certain older favorites.
Books:
Catcher in the Rye, Frankenstein, I am America (and so can you!),
Watchmen, the Goosebumps series (and going back and reading them,
these were AWFUL books. Man a kid's entertainment threshold is
low). Rhinoceros,
Waiting for Godot,
Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are dead, 1984, Gulliver's Travels, Death of a
Salesman, Lord of the Flies.
Movies:
Alien, Aliens, Batman, Dog Day Afternoon, Full Metal Jacket, The
Godfather I and II, The Green Mile, Ip Man, Kill Bill,
Oldboy, The Pianist,
Predator, Rashomon, Reservoir Dogs,
Shoot'em Up,
Se7en, The Shawshank Redemption,
Sympathy for Mr.
Vengeance, The Usual Suspects,
When Harry Met Sally.
I am going to have a hard time updating this list because I'm
picky. <_<
TV:
The Colbert Report, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Office,
House, Robot Chicken, Seinfeld, Billable Hours, Mad Men, The
Simpsons (Season 1-9), Futurama.
Oh, and watching selected FOX news reports on Youtube
anytime.
Food:
Risotto, escargot, butter chicken, cajun chicken, terribly
unhealthy fast food, ice tea, cream soda, General Tao's chicken,
sushi.
Pretty much anything made with cheese is <3.
Music:
Depends on my mood. Music is beautiful and I can't isolate a
favorite. The Killers, Iggy Pop, The Stranglers, Imogen Heap,
Rammstein, Prodigy, The Misfits, Queen, Tupac, Maroon 5 Dragonforce
(it always feel ironic listening to them). Justin Timberlake,
Metallica.
If I'm feeling particularly epic or old, 1812 Overture or Ride of
the Valkyries.
The six things I could never do without
1)A friend to talk to.
2)The internet. Not having entertainment sucks.
3)Sex, lol.
4)Spices. What joy is there in food if none of it tastes
good?
5)Soap, Water, Toothpaste, and a Toothbrush.
6)Humour. Life's a big joke, why not embrace it?
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why the Flintstones celebrate Christmas.
When expecting the unexpected, does that not make the unexpected
the expected?
What if Pinocchio said "My nose will now grow."
Also this nice C.S. Lewis quote:
"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a
merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be
concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it
is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these
things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood
and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young
things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or
even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of
really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in
secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so.
Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put
away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up."
On a typical Friday night I am
50% at a party, going out, clubbing, seeing a movie, karaoke,
enjoying Toronto at night.
50% doing absolutely nothing and reading wikipedia or something.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I may have help destroy an engagement accidentally on my first
drunk experience at University. Whoops.
You should message me if
You feel like it. People are interesting, they're just not open
enough to admit it. Whatever you're looking for, whether it be a
date, a conversation, or a friend, don't hesitate. I've never
talked to an uninteresting person one on one.
