Profiles

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?
