Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

He's easy-going yet involved, intense and laid-back. A contradiction wrapped in honesty. Directionless and motivated, could the journey be its own reward? What looks like aimlessness might just be an appreciation of the moment. Friendly and open-minded, he likes to play hide and seek in open fields. A cold appearance betrays a warm interior. He is continuously laughing, even if the expression on his face is serious. Shrouded in idealism, he hides under blankets wearing headphones that blast covers of his favourite songs while he sneaks glimpses of raindrops pattering against his window. Tomorrow will come again, he thinks, and this time he'll seize it mercilessly and never let go.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

On a day to day basis, he is quietly effective for his employer, even though he finds this part of his life... dull.

Secretly, he passionately scribbles and scrawls notes on paper; he plans on creating and spreading propaganda that will change the world profoundly, forever.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I've devised a list of things Simon is good at after years of narrating his existence. Here are some random excerpts from that list:

41. Finishing your sentences in a parallel world that... well... that doesn't really exist.

64. Arrested Development trivia.

11. Appreciating the non-linear.

78. Making random noises in lieu of using commonly accepted words to communicate with strangers and new acquaintances.

3. Giving and receiving hugs.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

Some appreciate his calm, intelligent, jovial disposition, others find the lack of brand labels and trendy styles boring. Let it be known that both of these relationships are usually symmetrical.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

He often talks to me about these things for hours.

Let's start with food, because its easy: he's vegetarian, and not picky about the rest. You=Vegetarian/Vegan too? Let the bonus points be showered upon your pretty head.

Books (or Authors): Paul Auster, Kurt Vonnegut, Jonathan Safran Foer, some Douglas Coupland. Blindness by Jose Saramago. A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. The best book ever written is House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski.

Music: Buck 65 ("Talking Honky Blues" is one of the best albums he's ever heard), Devendra Banhart, Astronautalis, Nick Drake, Kimya Dawson, Matthew Good, Jose Gonzalez, K'naan, Kings of Convenience, DJ Signify, Iron & Wine, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova, Neutral Milk Hotel (in fact, he's completely re-obsessed with In The Aeroplane Over the Sea at the moment), The Decemberists, Blockhead, Elliott Smith, Flight of the Conchords, Sigur Ros, múm, Regina Spektor... check out his last.fm profile here..

Movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, Fight Club, Magnolia, Half Nelson, Punch-Drunk Love, Lost in Translation, Lars & The Real Girl, etc...

Oh, and it might not be a category, but here goes anyways. He doesn't watch much TV, but is nonetheless addicted to Arrested Development, Trailer Park Boys and South Park.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

The a, n, and space bar keys on his keyboard that sometimes get stuck and don't always function properly.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Writing? Reading? Watching a movie, hanging out with friends, maybe at a pub or bar somewhere? Lately, he's even been found busting a move or two and enjoying it (which is definitely a change of pace from any past attempts at said busting).

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

Ugh.

You should message me if Propose an edit

He says you should message him if: You question things, not accepting them at face value. You're a contradiction. You'd like to run away to the Yukon and never come back. Hot and humid summers make you irritable. Autumn is your favourite season. You hate bees. You don't care for any of what I've written and would care to let him know. You love Paul Auster novels. You're tired of reading this. You've read House of Leaves. The world is about to end and you need a friend to confide in.

Or, failing all that, you should message him if you feel like it.

Thank you for reading.
