Shake, rattle, and roll
My self-summary Propose an edit
As you may be able to tell from my username (which I am well aware
I misspelled, all two of you who would notice), I am a nerd. I am
also a geek. I am aware that those are two different things. Yes, I
watch Star Trek,
and yes I play Dungeons and Dragons.
Please don't let that scare you away. It's not like the nerdiness
is overpowering or anything... (LIES!)
When I finally make my way to university, I'm hoping to go into
something related to anthropology (most likely linguistics),
history, or English, the first option being far preferred over the
others. It isn't that history or English don't interest me, it's
just that I like money.
I love language. I love it both aesthetically and scientifically.
I'm what you would call a philologist (and believe I have to be one
in order to actually know what a philologist is). I love to look up
the etymology and history of words. I'm interested in what happened
to the word "thou". Seriously. What the hell happened to it?
On a related note, what exactly am I "more literary" or "more
scientific" than?
What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit
I'm in my last year of high school. When I'm done with that,
probably heading straight into university, probably the University
of Toronto, unless I can get into something better. If everything
works out, I'll major in anthropology, hopefully getting a Ph.D
(pssh). And then I'll become a professor at Oxford. And then I'll
set up a colony on Mars. Then find the cure for aging. Woo.
If you make your goals impossible, then you'll always be at exactly
the same stage in achieving them! No disappointments!
I'm really good at Propose an edit
Coming up with totally useless but "interesting" facts. I then try
to work these into completely irrelevant conversations, often
resulting in me being on the receiving end of odd looks.
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit
The fact that I'm a twelve foot tall neon green luminescent
platypus. Fear my wrath.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit
My favourite books include: Flowers for Algernon by
Daniel
Keyes, Neuromancer by William Gibson, Cat's Cradle by
Kurt
Vonnegut, The Picture of Dorian
Gray by Oscar Wilde, The Great Gatsby by
F. Scott
Fitzgerald, and The Man in the High
Castle, by Philip K. Dick. Like everyone
else near my age group, I love Watchmen I have also fallen quite in
love with Mr. William Shakespeare. Make of that what you
will.
Favourite movies: Office Space, The even numbered
Star Trek movies (except for Nemesis), Dr. Strangelove, Kenneth Branagh's
version of Hamlet,
and anything from Monty Python. I love to watch
awful movies like Santa Claus
Conquers the Martians, or The Creeping Terror for the
sheer hilarity of them.
As for music, I'm afraid I like too many bands to listen here. I've
got somewhat eclectic tastes, leaning towards progressive and
psychedelic rock. At the moment the bands I could consider my
favourites are the Grateful Dead and King Crimson.
(I know this wasn't listed, but I felt obliged to include it) I
watch more TV than I wish I did, but my favourite shows are
Star Trek
(TOS, TNG, DS9), Monty Python's Flying
Circus, GBH
(chances are very high you will not have heard of this show. It's
British. It has nothing to do with the band GBH), Farscape, and Get Smart.
I'm not too picky with food. I love curry and spicy foods in
general. I also love to eat Vietnamese or other Asian foods.
The six things I could never do without Propose an edit
I could be "witty" and just put down the obvious things like food
and shelter. As it is, I think I'm just going to be a total asshole
to you all.
- Calcium
- Chlorine
- Magnesium
- Phosphorus
- Potassium
- Sodium
I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit
How silly and arbitrary this question is.
On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit
the goddamn Batman.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit
... I just told you that I'm Batman.
You should message me if Propose an edit
There is no if. You will message me. That is all.
