I am going, going..., and gone.
My Self-Summary
I'm very mysterious. You can tell because I wear thick-rimmed
glasses. I don't
actually need glasses. I wear them so I can slide them down my nose
and shoot people condescending looks. Or whip them violently from
my face while I toss my golden locks wildly to the side. There are
three toy
dinosaurs on my desk. Six on my
bookshelf, not including a wooly mammoth and a saber-toothed tiger.
A bloated Santa Claus doll straddles a brontosaurus. When you press
his stomach, Old Saint Nick farts and says something asinine like
"Hoho! Looks like a storm's blowin' in!" I'm not sure why I have
it. I guess it's just here to remind me of the ol' Christmas
Spirit. And by Christmas Spirit, I'm talking 80 proof
Egg Nog with a sprig of
holly (It's a pun, jackass). On my bookcase, two Ninja Turtle
action figures stand at attention behind
Boba Fett, his sinewy arm raised high.
His fist points accusingly outwards across the barren,
navy-carpeted landscape. Their faces are contorted in battle-forged
grimaces. They take their job very seriously: that is, guarding my
$14.95 copy of "Breakfast of Champions". There's a jet-black spade,
four-feet-tall, leaning against my wall - ripped straight from a
bicycle deck and plunged into three dimensions. I dressed my spade
in a
plaid scarf and
a scottish hat. I call him "Ace". There's a framed autograph on my
desk. It belongs to some guy named Ficker. He's a waiter at Hard
Rock Cafe - a nobody who dressed like he was attending Elton John's
funeral. He wore enough mascara to give Robert Smith an inferiority
complex. I wrote my name next to his and drew a heart around our
signatures, implying we would be together "4ever". I thought it was
ironic. A lambchop puppet stands awkwardly on my desk, it's puppet
hole sodomized by a wooden mannequin. Why am I telling you all
this? Well, I think my room illustrates me accurately: a fucking
mess.
(Sorry, I didn't feel like pulling a convoluted analogy out of my
ass.)
My appearance? Yeah, I guess that matters. 5'11". 140 lbs. Hair?
Light brown. I have a lot of it. It gets oily pretty quickly. If I
go on a
camping
trip or something and I forget to shampoo, it gets pretty bad. I'm
talking like, a crown of
writhing snakes bad. Turns
motherfuckers to stone. Eyes?
Green: that's what's printed on my driver's license. Not many
people know what color my eyes are. A lot of people think they're
blue, or grey, or some stupid fucking made-up color like
"chartreuse" or "atlantic ocean." I would at least make up a cool
name, like
"atomic
emerald laser".
I like
surprises.
What I’m doing with my life
Clinging to the slippery precipice of sanity with my middle finger,
flipping God the bird.
Seriously, he is such a prick.
I’m really good at
Not knowing what I want. Not getting what I want. Funny how that
works.
I'm a decent musician (made the all-state band twice).
I'm a decent writer (administrated a now-defunct online writing
community).
I'm decent at taking standardized tests (2210 on my SAT - not that
it matters because I'm attending ASU).
I'm a good listener (Usually, when I stare into the distance and
make explosion noises with my mouth, people just think I'm
autistic, or that I'm having a 'Nam flashback. In actuality, I'm
just listening very, very hard).
I'm a decent actor (Lead roles in a couple of plays).
I'm excellent at Super Smash Bros. Melee (I play as Ness).
My greatest talent, however, is my natural ability to please women
. . . by staying far away from them.
The first things people usually notice about me
The potent stench of cranberry schnapps and day-old chicken
marsala.
