I am quiet, small, and worried.
My Self-Summary
Hello, I'm pleased to meet you whoever you are because I cannot
conceive of not liking someone in some way. I'm here because I talk
better this way; in person I talk quiet and most people give up
trying to hear it. Also I can't make myself say the words because
that would be just too embarrassing - someone might hear me! Yes,
well, I'm kind of shy.
I'm also good at hiding in the background; I'm quite small and
washed-out looking so I can wander about and no-one really notices
which is good but not so much if you actually want to talk to
anyone.
Because I mostly work evenings I have a lot of time to do nothing
in. I hang about in the library, or just go round a mall (I can't
buy stuff cause I don't have so much money) or just daydream. In
fact I daydream a lot. I think I'd like to go live in one of them
one day, if I could only figure out the metaphysics for doing so.
What I’m doing with my life
Waiting tables. I'm very bad at it, I get nervous and drop things
and can't make eye contact. I should find something else but I'm
not good at anything else either. At least I get paid.
I'm living out here since I quit college. I guess I might try that
again one day if I ever have any money.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I read what comes my way, that is I don't have a genre I follow, I
just pick stuff up at random. My favorites are "Ella at the Wells",
"At the Back of the North Wind", "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and
(guilty and shameful pleasure) some of the "Left Behind"
books.
I don't go out to films (I'm too shy to ask for tickets).
My fave music is Swan Lake. I have to listen to it about once a
week.
I don't like a lot of food, I get funny about eating, it feels kind
of gross. But when I do what I like is anything lemon (cake, tea,
dressing, anything - lemon is good, it hides the taste of other
things I don't like) and my dad's fish soup which I wish I had the
recipe for because I can't make it, mine tastes like sewage.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Siegfried. (The one from Swan Lake not the one from Wagner's
Ring.)
And why I'm wasting my life and whether I really care.
And stuff that's happening around me, well you've seen the papers -
wars and shootings and politics and stuff.
On a typical Friday night I am
Working at the restaurant - spilling stuff, apologising, forgetting
who's ordered what, wishing the ground would open up and swallow
me.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm such a scaredy-cat, I'm frightened of thunderstorms, ghosts,
really big spiders, being looked at, nucleur war, guns, sharks...
You should message me if
You want to chat about anything. I like to listen, I love hearing
just stuff about someone's day, about what they're thinking about,
poetry they've written. I would never say anything mean and I like
to be friendly.
