I am Cynical, Optimistic, and Self-Contradictory.
My Self-Summary
Greetings all round. I am a
tall, wry, self-professed
intellectual with an interest
in most things. I must get a subconscious hard on with the notion
of paradox- as I seem to gravitate that way in character. I am laid
back, yet easily tiffed. Open minded, yet overly critical.
Friendly, yet argumentative. Fickle, yet resolute. Think of it as a
game.
I have a lot of time and thoughtspace for the world around me and
the flow of it's currents. Politics, history, language, culture. I
love these kind of things, and will talk the day away with any
immigrant inclined to engage me.
Oh, by the way, if I really rub you the wrong way and you feel
compelled to click your way out of the inferno of pretence and
conceit- hold your finger. I am also looking for people to hate-
it's a time honoured tradition of mine that i have of late
neglected. In truth there is nothing more engaging than getting
negative energy out at deserving idiots (Kind of like boxing, I
suppose). So please, indulge me and send your hatemail- if it is
any good I'd enthusiastically sling some words about with you.
What I’m doing with my life
I am a 3D
animation student, currently based in
Brisbane,
Australia. I write. I am learning
to speak
Italian.
I work with hats. I keep busy- but am rather bored- (this is where
you come in).
I only recently moved to Brisbane from Sydney, and am currently
experiencing a Shakespearean scale culinary tragedy. I'm sorry, but
the food is terrible in Brisbane. Or invisible. So, yes, I'd love
to get better acquainted with this oversized hamlet, if you'd
indulge me.
I’m really good at
I am an avid and talented
gamer, and have been playing for 23 years
without losing a single life! My secret: Stick to the mushrooms and
coins- avoid bottomless pits and turtles.
Apart from rescuing princesses, I have a flair for most things
loosely creative or expressive in design; writing, art, drama,
argument.
The first things people usually notice about me
I have a narcissistic streak in me- so it is often some flamboyant
article I have passed off as justifiable attire. Probably and
unusual hat or coat.
Or maybe just my height.
Or attitude.
In any case, rarely positive, though not always negative. People
either find it charmingly novel, or repulsively pretentious.
Enlighten me, there are some pictures, message me with what strikes
you.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I'm actually really getting into the budding
arthouse, or 'core', gaming scene.
Games from developers like '
that game company',
'
pixeljunk', and
sony's more
explorative works.
Ubisoft dabbles in it a bit too.
Books.. sorry all, don't do them. Much. I used to read a lot, but
then I started writing quite well. This was fine, reading and
writing go quite well together. But then I got into D&D and got
my first taste of non-linear narrative (which is incidentally the
next big thing in games these days). Linear narrative in role-play
is lambasted as poor storytelling and dubbed 'railroading'-
creatively restricting the player's imaginations. They were right.
If you unfairly retroactively roll this criticism back to books,
you have the real black arrow. An author railroads you through his
book on the path he thinks is best. What if you don't like that
path? Tough... unless you can write your own. Thus why I don't
often read. A final supplementary lash to the dead horses backside
is that books are quite long, and statistically that increases the
chance that the author will mess something right up the further he
goes. Also, long books take a lot of commitment. A shit movie is an
hour or so wasted. A shit book can be weeks.
Food is fantastic, and I'll try anything, though have an affinity
for Italian, Chinese, and Indian. The one thing they all share in
common (apart from garlic and oil) is none of them are particularly
healthy, and all of them are suited to opulent banquets wherein one
can irresponsibly gorge oneself.
The six things I could never do without
I like to think myself as being something of a survivalist when
circumstances dictate thus. I do fine without all of the things I
am accustomed to or enjoy, with one notable exception. It's stupd
really. I get along just fine without food, or a place to sleep
even- but simply can't give up toilet paper. I discovered this in
asia- I simply could not bring myself to abide with the 'hose'
method of toilet hygiene. It confounds and panics me.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Too far flung a field to summarise. 'Daydreaming' does it well
enough I suppose, at the expense of any relevant details.
On a typical Friday night I am
At my Best friend's Parent's place for dinner.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'd probably like Buffy, if I gave it a chance...
You should message me if
You are interesting. That is what I really want- a bit of social
stimulus. People to think and talk about- maybe even to. That's on
my end. For you, I can offer an unusual mix of intrigue and
offensiveness. I carry a good conversation, and debate if you want
it. If you are looking for something different, confronting,
bizarre, or entertaining- I am usually a mixture of these
things.
I don't promise to be a good friend so much as a memorable one-
which in my opinion (for me at least) is much the same in outcome.
I maintain close contact with a few people with whom I share a
mutual disdain- yet also mutually share an enjoyment of each
other's company too.
