I am oblique, literary, and amorphous.

My Self-Summary

Philosophical train wreck. Devil's advocate. Lark.

I am quite interested in the serendipitous philosophical and oddball musings that can arise from a lack of sleep. I'm a concept person. I'm also likely the only person on here who contends that she could be neatly summarised in a couple of little boxes. Or just one.

Don't believe me?

The following for the benefit of those spectrally oriented and prosaically challenged:

chaotic-X-----------------organised
dull---X---------------------sparkly
levelheaded-------------X---moronic
acerbic----X-only when I want to be
lost----X-----------------------lost

Non sono vera, sono ben trovata.

Non sono una persona davvero seria.

What I’m doing with my life

Squandering it.

Destroying delicately construed images of self that may or may not have been intentionally presented to others. I have a reputation to uphold, as they say.

Most days I smell like chemicals, and can be found sitting in class half awake and doodling in my notebook. One time a friend peeked at it and then looked at me and said, “Now we know what’s going on in your violent mind, Milly.” I was a voodoo child.

Vivi senza regole.

I’m really good at

Half joking. Obstinately refusing to oblige. Lol’ing (emphasis on the second “l”), but talking really quietly.

Exhibiting unexpected facets of my personality at random but decisive moments.

Not at writing profiles, as you can tell.

The first things people usually notice about me

Here's hoping they don't. My self-consciousness wouldn't like that very much.

Also I loathe to admit this but people tell me that I am nicer than I'd lead them to believe.

The six things I could never do without

toy monkey

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I was at the art gallery a while ago, some exhibition pertaining to modern art - dada and surrealism, conceptual stuff, when I came across a poster with the following quote on it. I later discovered that it was the credo of a guerrilla movement aimed at providing accessibility to the works of local artists, and taking them outside of the conventional studio settings:

"With wavering clarity we understand that what we do is confined to the limitations of representation and we're okay with that. As a product and service Instant Coffee is an effective substitute: It mimics the real thing without the pretense of being better. It isn't that much easier to make, which is reason enough to justify it. Taste is a factor, taste being an important way to designate quality and define preference. But quality is too particular and preferences change. They are superfluous really, misnomers that distract from the basic reasons for ingesting either the real thing or its substitute. Value is in their effect. In its taste, Instant Coffee barely resembles the real thing, but its effect is the same. Regardless of taste, it still works. Quality is beside the point. In this disregard Instant Coffee becomes a medium to be used. This is Instant Coffee."

Is that unabashed mediocrity? And if so, isn't it rather intriguing?

And what to do when the conversation starts to lose momentum.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

toy monkey

Private admittances are useless. When caught in an awkward situation, I employ a common trick known as lying through my teeth. I'm pretty ridiculous. I'm also pretty off putting. Especially politically, which I refrain from touching upon. I think that last sentence didn't really make grammatical sense. I also think you can tell that I'm avoiding the question by way of incoherent rambling.

You should message me if

You want to get to know me. My profile probably did a shit job of convincing you, but dammit, I deserve a fair chance. I'm a special likkle snowflake. I tug on your heartstrings until you need coronary artery bypass.

You think I should add your name to my list of loonies I have lunched with. (You get the allusion.)

You're not 85.
