Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Ah, now is the chance to wow the masses and woo the ladies of the internet with my cleverly worded, insightful, and every-so-sexy self-summary. Oh, the things to say.

I'm a classic introvert (because nothing impresses the masses like the revelation that you enjoy time to yourself). I love spending time with people one-on-one or in small groups, and I can't stand large-scale get-togethers. Because I hate random small talk with random strangers that I'll never see again and I love intimate and thoughtful conversation.

I'm sarcastic and snarky, and I'm also naive and idealistic. I'll leave it to others to decide which is the real me and which is the front. I'm thoughtful and careful with my words until I get too excited and it all comes in a massive torrent. I'm a conversationalist in person, but I think silence is valuable too.

I spend most of my free time (and my work time, but that's another story) reading and writing (for fun) and I'm an endless reservoir of useless information about bands and authors I like. Oh, and I have comic book tattoos, because I'm that nerdy and I want everyone to know it.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Why does "what I'm doing with my life" equate "here's what my job is"? What I'm doing with my life is thinking and reading and writing and exploring this city I've just moved to. But on the work front, I'm a library assistant and soon I'll be applying for grad school to get my doctorate in clinical psychology.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Analyzing people. Knowing way too much about books and music. Taking long walks. Backgammon.

I feel tempted to write "sex" here, because I bet that's what people want to read. But I think how "good" someone is at sex depends on the person they're with and if you claim to universally be good at sex, you're setting yourself to look like an asshole.

I think that's for the person who notices me to say.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Music, I'd probably go crazy after while with it.

Books, what would I stick my nose in?

A sense of self-worth.

Burritos.

Sex, or at least masturbation. Or at least making out. The monk's life is not the life for me.

Sleep, one of life's greatest pleasures.

Food, water and air.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

I spend a lot of time thinking about EVERYTHING. Maybe too much time. But the frequently recurring items are my future (or at least my multiple exciting fantasy futures, ask for more info), random minutia about books and music (are we sensing a pattern?), my own personal philosophy (which may or may not be on shaky ground), sex (you're lying if you say otherwise) and imagined interactions with historical figures I will never meet.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

At work till 10. Afterwards I'm as likely to go home and relax as go out. The typical Friday night plans need to be traded in for something more exciting and original.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

When I was a teenager I spent four years in psychoanalysis for depression. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I learned to know myself, to constantly strive to improve myself and it put me on the path to the only job I can see myself doing for the rest of my life.

You want to discuss the intricacies of Vauxhall & I. Or whatever.
