foolish, ardent, and still trying

My self-summary Propose an edit

I was thinking about something Shakespeare once said. He said, "Hey...life is pretty stupid; with lots of hubbub to keep you busy, but really not amounting to much." I hope that's not true. It's time to start working on making it a bit more than that.

I *do* want clever conversation. Sometimes I like to work that hard.

I tend to over-think things. Especially at night, I worry over situations. I know I'll be alright. Perhaps it's just imagination.

I've heard that knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. I've not missed yet but one of these days...

I think trying, even a little, to change the world is important. But I'm not looking for New England. In the end, I can't help feeling that even in a perfect world where everyone was equal. I’d still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.

Oh, and I tend to overuse allusions and quotations. Which is the big person way of saying I like taking people's words and ideas. Ideally, I'd come up with some of my own material, I know... I'm working on that, too. But there's a lot of good other people's words out there, you know? I'm always hoping to find some old forgotten ones, or ancient melodies...

Je ne parle pas vraiment français très bien. J'ai principalement rendu la présente partie du profil juste ainsi je pourrais faire la plaisanterie dans la prochaine partie. Ce n'est pas une plaisanterie très bonne. Je suis désolé !

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I've been holding back the night. I've been searching for a clue (or two).

I used to follow, yeah, that's true. But my following days are over; now I've just gotta follow through.

Mostly I'm doing what everyone else is doing, trying the best they can. Well, maybe not the *absolute* best. But trying to get closer to the ideal.

I've decided to declare all the embarrassing parts of my life non-canon.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Certain things that are very difficult. I make up for it by being really bad at things that should be easy.

I'm very good at living life in the moment. It's just not always the moment that happening right now...

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

I'm rather short. I'm left-handed. I have unusually colored eyes.

Yet people know me for years before suddenly noticing these things.

So I don't know.

I also have a very tall friend called Lenale who thinks she's very funny with the suggested profile edits, and I'm humoring her. Most people don't think I'm short but she's a special case.

J'ai été dit que j'ai ce certain... Comment vous dites... "I don't know what."

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

The Good Book. And plenty of other decent books too. I don't read as often as I should, though. But I've heard from reputable sources that Print is dead.

I dressed up like one of the Ghostbusters for Halloween. And then a couple times after that, just for fun. But it's not like I built my own proton pack and then got Egon to autograph it or anything (if you must know, it was Winston).

I saw two shooting stars last night. I wished on them, but they were only satellites. It's wrong to wish on space hardware...

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Hope. Faith. Family. The sky. Love. Plus the normal stuff.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Life, the Universe. Everything.

Sometimes I wish I was a hunter. Other times, I wish I was a prayer... expressing what I mean.

Mostly, One of these days I'd like to get what I want. Lord knows, it'd be the first time.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Staying at home, going out, visiting family, going out for long drives to no where in particular, who knows. There's always something going on in the city. I've been trying to get out and experience a bit more of it, even if lately I've been working more often than not. I love to travel, but something always brings me back here to Cleveland.

Lately more often than not though, I'm working on something for the start-up company my friend has started.

And what the bard said with irony I say with conviction: Cleveland, city of lights, city of magic. Cleveland, city of lights, you're calling me...

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

Because all my friends were really into it, I used to do pen-and-paper RPG games all the time (Dungeons, Dragons, whatnot). But for now I've given up on role playing (of the non-Mexican Apple Thief variety, at least).

You should message me if Propose an edit

You're looking for the most amazing, insightful, witty, and truly emotionally meaningful conversation you've ever had.

Because I'm looking for that too, and we could talk about how cool it'd be to have that.

Oh, and if you don't type 'your' when you mean "you're," wow, that would be awesome!
