Profiles

[jhameia]

So I was editing my MySpace Profile, for no particular reason other than to pass the time, and I think I rather like what I wrote about myself. I normally don't like writing stuff like because I end up with this contrived, simplified version of me, but as contrived as it sounds, as pretentious as it looks... I rather like this new summary of me. Anybody who looks down at me for being a poser can sod off.

---

Foundation: At basic, I am brutal, blunt, practical. I am driven, and I know my limits. I will not take personal bullshit from people. I cut out things I dislike deeply. While I get along with a lot of people, my standards are high, and these standards exist to keep me happy. I get pretty bitchy at times.

<Humanity: I believe in being honest. I believe in skill and aesthetic senses. I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and while I will make blanket statements (such as, Asians Piss Me Off), I am willing to give the individual a chance to tell their story. I judge superficially, but if a person is doing what they want because they want to, and they're having fun, and they're not hurting anybody, I rarely, if ever, have anything bad to say about them. I respect those who are self-aware, and thus aware of others, and of the entire human race.

Sexuality: My sexuality is more sensuality-based. I believe that sex is a basic instinct of people that should not be denied. To learn about one's body and its capabilities is important. I respect the sexual act as a union between its participants for one brief, wonderful moment.

Ideals: The world is a chaotic place. HAIL ERIS. The key is to find my place in this eye of the storm. I will take along Love, Beauty, and Words with me. I can't change the fact that this is an absurd world, meaningless, random, confusing. But I can give myself meaning: to be capable of affection, of depth, of giving.

So sprinkle us with fairy dust.

I plan on becoming a scholar in the Epic Fantasy. I know it's not a "real" genre. But I'll make it one.

As it so happens, I'm deeply in love with epic fantasy. I'd love to join one of St. Mary's creative writing classes, but I am too nervous. Is this your fourth year at SMU?

Totally my fourth year at SMU, and staying back for one more. It's tricky to get into the CW classes though, because they're not offered every year. I'm lucky to be able to get both courses I wanted this year - I meant to take them in second and third year, but they weren't offered at all.

We have a book in the SMU library called A Defense of Fantasy. It's a really good reason.

And you have the Last Unicorn as your icon. Why don't you come for the forum lunch, so we can run away together?
