I am Lions, tigers, and bears... oh my!.
My Self-Summary
My name is Tristan.
I am twenty-five years old.
I make
films.
I love
penguins.
My favourite colour is
green. A lot of my favourite things are
green like
Kermit the Frog,
The Wizard of Oz
and
Absinthe.
I have a
Teddy. He's
not green or a penguin, but I love him anyway.
I like lots of
music. Sometimes I sing along and
sometimes I dance.
I have a pet
fish
called Memo. I ate fish fingers in front of him once. It made him
sad. I don't eat fish fingers anymore.
I don't like vanilla.
I don't like nasty things like guns or fluke worms, but I do like
scary
movies.
I have
dysthymic
dissociative disorder. I
don't know what that means. I think it has something to do with not
liking sour cream.
Some people think that I am
strange.
I like
John
Stuart Mill's works on
Classical Liberal
individualism, and I dislike alarmist political polarisation
and de facto ecclesiocractic, neo-McCarthyist, ethnocentric
hegemony posing as pro-active, multilateral humanitarianist
liberation.
I used to have a pony. I told my friends. They laughed. Now they
call me "pony". : (
What I’m doing with my life
Working on 3 short films and 2 feature films.
