Christ, this took forever. I hope you all enjoy not reading a pile of useless information about me!


1. weird things you do alone
Nothing I wouldn't do around people I'm extremely comfortable around. This seems like the kind of thing a 15 year old will have an absolute ball answering, saying how weird they are.

2. How have you changed in the past 2 years?
Hmm, I would've been 19. Not really as much of a massive change as I would between say 17-19, but still a noticeable change. As a person, me personally, I've grown up a little bit more and realised more what I want in life. 19 is also around the time I got my first proper job, so I guess I've realised the joy in being financially independent. Then there's other things like realising more what I want from an other half, who my friends are, etc. But me as a person? Not all THAT much, relatively.

3. What kind of person attacts you?
it changes, a lot. If the chemistry is there, it's there. Intelligence and being able to challenge me is a big one. Being able to make me laugh is massive, make a girl laugh and you can make her do anything etc. I enjoy sarcasm/dry sense of humour and outright cheekyness quite a bit, I can be quite cheeky and I appreciate someone who can give it back. Height/weight/general appearance aren't specific as long as I'm physically attracted to them but it's not set to a certain style or look. I guess as long as I can spend time with them and enjoy it then I'm happy. But I want someone who not only makes me happy, but inspires me, makes me a better person, where I can admire who they are and where they want to be in life.


4. what do you wear to bed?
it varies. Possibly silky lingerie, although that's not as common lately. If I'm sharing a bed I prefer to be naked. the only time I'll possibly wear something along the lines of a baggy t-shirt is for that time of the month.

5. 5 things that irritate me about the opposite/same sex.
I don't understand how that's a thing, because everyone is different and there's no trait that you can say every member of the opposite sex has, personality traits certainly aren't exclusive to one sex. Although if I were to imagine a person rather than a gender, it's easy to come up with more than 5 :P


6. the person you like and why you like them.
Oh god. How long do you have? Intelligence - teaches me new things constantly, challenges my views, accepts my own dorkyness and pushes it to be more. His sense of humour - constantly has me cracking up, has the sense of humour I adore... right this is going to take too long, charisma, his caring, he's just a good person, his passion for... everything, talking to him makes me insanely, ridiculously happy, he's ridiculously beautiful. It sounds very cheesy, but he's the type of person who I should be with, he's good for me. There's very few things about him I don't like.


7. Your opinion on cheating.
How the fuck is this ever going to be different for anyone? Have the goddamn decency to break up with someone, if you don't want to be with them anyone at least respect them enough to be honest with them. It's disgusting and I could never trust anyone who did it to me again.


8. Something you're currently worrying about
Surprisingly enough, not much right now. I'm usually a bit of a worrier. OH, wait. My best friend is currently in Poland with the girl he apparently broke up with. I hate the bitch and he called me drunk the other morning to tell me he was never seeing her again. I'm not that worried about it because he's more than capable of handling himself, but I just wish he'd cut her out already.


9. Your last kiss
Cormac. I don't count the guys who lunch at me in nightclubs.


10. Views on drugs and alcohol
I drink, but I hate when people rely on it for a good time and have a need to get absolutely off their face every time they go out. I hate the way Irelands culture pretty much puts alcohol on a pedestal for pretty much every single social event. I don't actually drink all that much, although I do occasionally get drunk. Drugs... my views are biased because I know people who have lost absolutely everything from them. I don't think people are nearly careful enough around them, it's so easy to end up on harder stuff. That said, it's none of my business what other people are doing and I don't have the right to make other peoples choices for them. I have been with people who do drugs though, as well as dealers and I can safely say I will never be with anyone who has drugs in their life again.


11. relationships/single
I'm single, though I don't want to be (not generally, I don't NEED a relationship to be happy, but there's a specific someone I want to be with). But that can't happen right now for a number of various reasons, so it's whatever. I'm not closing myself off to other opportunities but it's extremely difficult to have an interest in other people and to be honest, it will take a hell of a lot before someone compares to him.

12. Things you want to say to an ex
There's very fucking little I want to say to most of them. I don't want them in my life at all. I would like to tell Bryan to cop the fuck on with his life, but I have said that so... meh.


13. a Date I would love to go on:
It sounds cheesy as hell but I don't mind when or where, but as long as it's with him I don't care where it would be, I'm happy enough to just have time to get to talk to him. Although I would LOVE to have a 'date' exploring Rome, or Egypt or... anywhere. I don't care where. Somewhere full of history, somewhere beautiful.


14. Something disgusting you do
I don't know? I pick at my nails a lot. is that disgusting?


15. The best thing to happen to me this week
It will be going out tonight with my two closest girlfriends and cormac. Probably some of my favourite people in life and I love they all get on so well. suzanne is apparently making him dinner while Christina and I are stuck in work, we're going over after to have some drinks and talk for a bit, we'll go out somewhere and all stay in hers afterwards.


16. 3 things I'm proud of my personality.
Hmmmmmmmmm. My work ethic, because I think it's pathetic that people don't have that these days. My passion for learning... again for the same reasons. and I'd say generally my 'charm' if you can call it that. Most people can easily get along with me and I much prefer that to being a bitch straight off. There's quite a few things I like about my personality. I like who I am.

17. Things that make you scared
Losing my loved ones to something horrible, especially with them not knowing I love them.

18. Disrespecting parents
I don't. I have the most incredible mother anyone could ask for, and I'm a 21 year old adult for gods sake, there's no reason to disrespect either of them unless they deserve it.

19. Something that never fails to make you feel better
Talking to my mother, Christina or my blondy, playing with my dog, reading, a hot shower.

20 The last argument you had
Probably something with my father. I don't recall over what.

21. Something you can't seem to get over.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh.... being lied to by a friend.

22. 10 things about me people don't expect
I don't know, because I don't know what people expect of me. Surely this is something other people have to answer?



23. Something I always think what if about?
What if Michelle had never met Paul.

24. Five things I wanna say to different people
I'll generally say whatever I want to people. It's not like I set out to hurt them, and I believe in friendship that you should be able to tell people what you feel even if it might initially hurt them, because ultimately you'll have their best things to heart, ie: telling Cormac to cop on for his final year and study his arse off to rightfully get the best degree he can, unlike he usually does and cram for the past month, still coming out with like a 70. It takes a lot to be able to be that close to someone that you can tell them when they're being an idiot.

25. Ten ways to win my heart
That's a ridiculous thing to say. I'm not a prize, or this aloof impossible-to-please creature.

26. Religious beliefs
Agnostic, I would like to believe in some sort of after life for the comfort and simply for the childish belief that there has to be more than just death. I don't have the absolute faith to believe in a specific deity.

27. Siblings
I don't have any.

28. The month I was happiest this year and why
A month? That's a bit specific. Probably February because it was my birthday, and it being my 21st, I was surrounded a lot by the people who matter to me most.

29. A picture of me?

30. What changed this month and what will happen next month

This month, not much has changed. It's more constant work, although I appreciate more how lucky I am to be able to work and have a job, given a close friend has just lost hers through no fault of her own. Next month, university will be just starting back and I'll be going into my final year... which I am incredibly excited about.

Heyo guys, figured we could all have a go at this, everyone answer the questions - see where we get.

Posted Image


I filled most of this out and then accidentally went back a page so fuck you all.
Here's a less efforty version:
1) I opera sing to myself... I guess that's sort of weird but lots of people talk to themselves. I do stupid things and laugh hysterically at myself.

2) The past two years i've been through a lot personally. My parents split up, i've moved house a total of four times in those two years, i've been to uni, left uni and moved across the country... huge, huge changes for someone of 19 and i'm sure thats had an effect on my personality. I've become less tolerant of bullshit but more patient in general and I handle social situations and phone calls etc much, MUCH better now than I used to. I suppose i've come out of my shell a little bit. I've obviously changed in looks, now I look more mature than my 16/17 year old self, changed my hair a lot but i'm the same in most other respects.

3) The two things I highlighted in my previous answer were A sense of humour, and i'm not sure how to describe it... a sense of wonder? Curiosity about the world, about things that you've never experienced. If I say 'what if....' I want to be able to have a hypothetical discussion, I want to find out more, I want you to be curious and discuss things like this with me. I can't stand people who are like 'it doesnt affect me so i dont care'.
An interesting sense of humour is also necessary. Looks are of course sort of important. If someone is curious, excited to find things out and talk about anything then that's a great start.

4) Usually short PJ's if i'm wearing pj's. I sleep naked most of the time now though.

5) The one thing I can point out is the stereotype of laziness/untidiness of guys. Of course you're not all like that, my boyfriend is though and it does my head in.

6) Chewy, of course. He's funny, he cares about me completely and does anything he can to make me happy. He always has our best interests in mind. He's got such an amazing passion for his job and he's brilliant at it, i'm so fucking envious of that. Even if he really doesn't want to work he'll force himself to go out there in the wind and rain and mud and awful conditions and film because he's just so passionate about making his videos. it's awesome.

7) Cheating as an act is awful. I'm not going to judge the cheater though. There are many situations that can lead someone to that so much that i'm not going to label any girl who cheats a skank or anything like that.

8) I'm worrying about this VIP section i've been left to organise. 200 guests and one 19 year old girl with no events experience organising it for them. I hope it goes well.

9) Chewy.

10) I don't want to do drugs and I don't condone them. Same with alcohol really... but if you wanna do them and you're not going to hurt anyone else then go for it, that's your choice and i'm not going to judge you for it unless it starts affecting my life.

11) In a relationship of course. It's testing to say the least. We live together, work together, my family and friends are all 300 miles away up North and i'm sort of alone down here with just my boyfriend. That can lead to tense times.

12) I'd just tell him I hope his life improves, I hope he tries his hardest to better himself instead of giving up all the time but that i'm not the reason he's into drugs and he needs to stop blaming me for it.

13) Not sure. Anywhere with some really good food is a good date for me. If we're talking about more exotic things, visiting Rome would be awesome but only if the date was into it as well, otherwise i'd feel like I was dragging them around.

14) if it was that disgusting I probably wouldn't share it on here now would I.

15) idk.. my boss paying the caterers for my section so I can get on with the menu and stuff :')

16) I'm quite independant, i've been told i'm level headed... i don't know about a third.

17) Spiders, the dark... growing old.

18) I hate people who disrespect their parents. I wish we had a few values of maybe the Eastern side of the world with regards to parents and elders, they should be respected no matter what.

19) Food. Unless i'm feeling fat.

20) With chewy probably over something stupid like scissors or drinks. That happens a looooot.

21) TDKR ;(

22) I can't say what people expect of me really to know how I act unexpectedly.

23) My mum. I miss her a lot. If I hadn't moved away though she would have been in a really bad situation right now so... swings and roundabouts.

24) This is so 2008 myspace -____- email me back you fucks, all of you. all five of you.

25) be chewy? :P only have one, sorry.

26) Same as Jess.

27) Sister. she's 18 this year... jesus christ that's horrifying. I hate and love her at the same time. I hate how she treats my parents and acts like a douche all the time.
brother, 10 years old. /i feel very protective of him, being autistic with ADHD, he doesn't have an easy life really.

28) Maybe in the past year, december. I was really happy in december. March was pretty cool too.

29) Maybe later

30) This month not much. Next month the event will be over and most of the motocross season too. I'll be able to visit my family

What if I was completely gay, what if my parents didn't accept me for who I was.

24. Things you want to say to five different people

25. 10 ways to win your heart
A good sense of humor and a master cuddler.

26. Your religious beliefs

1. Weird things you do when you're alone?
I dance like Morrissey. Or I try to.

2. How have you changed in the past 2 years?
I don't think change is the right word. It's too strong. I have adjusted slightly, to the whim of my own mood swings and the rut and flourish of my depression - the bastard.

3. What kind of person attracts you?
All the cliches. I don't really have a type, though.

4. What you wear to bed
As well as my veil of sinking loneliness, I wear my boxers.

5. 5 things that irritate you about the opposite sex/same sex
Men; Misogyny & an inability to tolerate things of a different ilk (well around my town, anyway). Women; I don't like those women who seem to take a perverse sort of pride in being quite viciously stupid.

6. The person you like and why you like them
I like a girl who lives on my street. I'm struggling to get a grasp on the intangible reasons I like her, though, of course, it isn't shallow. Mostly, I think, it's because she seems to accept me for all my foibles and idiocy. And she is very attractive. But it isn't just shallow lust, I swear.

7. Your opinion on cheating on people
What Ashy said.

8. Something you're currently worried about
The excavation of my life and it's upheaval to the Big Smoke in London. I'm on the cusp of a huge change and it terrfies me. Not just the big anxieties like having to meet people, but the pithy things like watching football with my dad and my mates. Bloody university.

9. Your last kiss
The afforementioned girl on my street. We kissed until our lips were swollen. I kind of wish it was under the iron bridge in Levenshulme. But it was just in her bedroom.

10. Your views on drugs and alcohol
I'm Straight Edge. But I'm not arsed what other people do. If it makes you feel good. . . Actually, I like a nice drink of heroin. Though it's very moreish I hardly think that counts as a drug, right?

11. Your current relationship blah blah
Single.

12. Things you want to say to an ex
I realise I wasn't good enough. Sorry I was such a dickhead, you shouldn't have been dragged along with the silt and soilant of my mental breakdown.

13. A date you would love to go on
There's a small valley near mine, which is all wild flowers and too-long-grass. There's a small river that leads into the Severn that has been used as a kind of waste receptacle for locals. But there's something oddly beautiful about that juxtaposition. That collision of nature and the industrial. The water sidles over those disused bikes and traffic cones as if they were the normal pebbles and rocks that should be there. So I would take whoever was unlucky enough to want to go on a date with me there.

14. Something disgusting you do
I kill people. . . No, not really.

15. The best thing to happen to you this week
I got my reading list for uni and it is awesome!

16. 3 things you are proud of about your personality
I'm softly spoken (when I must), unfailingly polite and predominently silent.

17. Things that make you scared
The future, other people, causing a fuss and the fact that the people I love will die.

18. Disrespecting parents
I used to be. I was an obstreperous and precocious teenager.

19. Something that never fails to make you feel better
A hug, Morrissey/The Smiths songs or stand up comedy by Stewart Lee, Richard Herring or Daniel Kitson.

20. The last argument you had
I had an argument with my brother regarding homosexuality and why it is an invalid argument to claim it is 'not natural!'. And then why it is wrong to discriminate people for being inherently different.

21. Something you can't seem to get over
My many flaws.

22. 10 things about you people don't really expect
I have a wicked sense of humour, occasionally, I'm not as lugubrious as people think, I'm not that pretentious, I play sports and work out, I'm not gay (apparently I come across that way), I'm actually fascinated by people's 'banal' stories about their day, I play guitar, bass and write songs, beneath the eyeliner I actually have the eyes of (in the words of my brother) 'A Down's Syndrome boy'. . . I like The Cure.

23. Something you always think 'what if' about
What if I hadn't met that Argentine girl on that cruise?

24. Things you want to say to five different people
I love you. I like you. I'm enamoured by you. I think you're ok. I can't stand you.

25. 10 ways to win your heart
Show me the most rudimentary of kindness, and chances are I'll lollop after you like a doleful puppy.

26. Your religious beliefs
Atheist. Staunchly so.

27. Talk about your siblings
I have a twin. He is practically the exact opposite of me. We share one thing in common (we support Manchester City), but we've grown closer since I did something terribly idiotic and I love 'im, so's I do!

28. The month you were happiest this year and why
May. It was my birthday and after following my football team up and down the country for 20 years (after being fucking awful for most of those 20 years) I got to watch us win the that Sergio Aguero goalin the 94th. 3 generations of fans reduced to tears of euphoria.

29. A picture of yourself
You've seen enough of me.

30. What changed this month and what do you hope will happen next month?
My friendship with 'Girl On My Street' suddenly blossomed into something more complicated. Wonderfully complicated.

Figured it's probably fair I do it myself.


1. Weird things you do when you're alone?
I sometimes find myself beat boxing (terribly of course.)

2. How have you changed in the past 2 years?
I'm a lot more self assured rather than I used to be, there's no over the top ego to hide the insecurities and all that teenage bollocks. I feel more mature and I have a lot more control over myself, my emotions and ultimately my actions. I'm probably at the happiest point of my life than I've ever been - purely due to the growing up I've been forced to do.

3. What kind of person attracts you?
Has to be funny and attractive, also intelligent - I can't handle dumb girls. I learned the hard way. Also has to keep me on the edge, make me feel alive and get my heart racing.

4. What you wear to bed
Boxers/pyjama bottoms.

5. 5 things that irritate you about the opposite sex/same sex
People just annoy me. I don't understand people, I get frustrated a lot by people who lie, I despise it - So I guess that counts for both genders.

6. The person you like and why you like them
I don't like anyone, i'm a free man! It's great, I don't have the pressures of it. Except Federer. I like him.

7. Your opinion on cheating on people
I don't cheat, I've never cheated. I would kill you.

8. Something you're currently worried about
Honestly not worried about anything, except my dog. He's a bit ill but i'm hoping it's just a bug.

9. Your last kiss
errrrr either last thursday or the thursday before. Random girl in a club.

10. Your views on drugs and alcohol
I'm very liberal on drug and alcohol - except for when it starts affecting other people. Don't personally drink very much anymore (Well, I occasionally have a week or so where i'm out a lot.) and I don't touch drugs.

11. Your current relationship blah blah
Single and don't want anything.

12. Things you want to say to an ex
I feel sorry for you.

13. A date you would love to go on
Star gazing.

14. Something disgusting you do
Pick dead skin? It's not really disgusting, but I guess it's not the prettiest thing. I don't make a habit of it. But if I get callouses on my hands etc I tend to pick at them.

15. The best thing to happen to you this week
6 hours of free tennis tuition everyday this week !!!

16. 3 things you are proud of about your personality
The small acts of kindness I do that no one ever sees or knows about. It's my own little way of giving back to the world. This alone is enough for me.

17. Things that make you scared
Heights - Federer losing.

18. Disrespecting parents
I argue with my mum a fair bit, and occasionally with my dad, but I wouldn't say i'm disrespectful. Maybe sometimes to my mum, but she's just as bad to me.

19. Something that never fails to make you feel better
Federer winning.

20. The last argument you had
My mum because I ended up making her wait because the walk through the forest took longer than I thought and she was in a bad mood.

21. Something you can't seem to get over
EC apparently.

22. 10 things about you people don't really expect
10 things? Fuck. I don't even know 10 things about me. Erm, that i'm actually a nice guy?

23. Something you always think 'what if' about
I don't think what if. I try to keep myself in the present, I don't think "what if" is healthy.

24. Things you want to say to five different people
five? Who the fuck wrote this, how much free time do you have? I don't even have that many things to say to people. Get well to my dog?

25. 10 ways to win your heart
Introduce me to Roger Federer/ be Roger Federer.

26. Your religious beliefs
We are all Agnostic at best.

27. Talk about your siblings
Got an older sister, she's 22 going on 40. Mature and works hard, pretty damn patronising though.

28. The month you were happiest this year and why
entirety of June, travelling around Thailand and then Europe, exploring the world and making friends. Sensational experience.

29. A picture of yourself
YOU NEVER HEARD OF HOT OR NOT?

30. What changed this month and what do you hope will happen next month?
God knows, I stayed in the same bed for more than 2 consecutive nights!!

1. What are some weird things you do when you’re alone?
I talk out loud to myself and have conversations with some chosen inanimate objects and one of my plants, an areca palm I named Rüdiger. They’re helpful aides to work through particularly difficult problems and complex quandaries.

2. How have you changed in the past two years?
Several things have happened that greatly affected me, but that is bound to happen to everyone over the course of two years. I worked as a junior counsellor in Belgium for a year, I finished university, I moved halfway across the country to a new city and started my post-university education and now I am moving to another city again for a more focused education. That last part has perhaps been the biggest change: I have always wanted to be a psychotherapist and help people, and due to sheer fortune I have found something to specifically concentrate on, namely trauma care. On a deeply personal level, several things have had an impact on me as well, but, again, that can be said of everyone.

3. What kind of person attracts you?
Passion is the most important thing. I don’t mean, ‘Oh, I really like <x> a lot.’ I mean they spend whole weekends burning the midnight oil in a monomaniacal trance. They call me up in the middle of the night to rant about a new aspect of their passion, or just about something they already were familiar with but are still obsessed by. They can talk for hours about their passion, their eyes burning with zealous fervour, their hands gesticulating and their voices possessed. They inflame me with their enthusiasm. Of course this doesn’t apply to just a concrete passion, but, for lack of a better term, to a passion for life as well.

Closely related to passion are inquisitiveness and thirst for knowledge. If they don’t continually want to learn more about anything and everything, if they aren’t genuinely and deeply interested in anything, then I’m going to be exasperated, if not irritated, by their lack of interest and engagement very quickly. If I ever ask them what they would like to do and they tell me, ‘I don’t know. I’m up for whatever,’ I will punch them in the face and break off all contact. I loathe people like that.

If they possess those traits, all the rest would be a bonus (within limits, of course), although a sense of humour, self-knowledge and a lack of arrogance would be especially appreciated. Physically I don’t have an ideal image. As long as they’re not physically repulsive, I don’t care too much.

Generally, I don’t want someone who ‘makes me happy’; I want someone to infect me with their passions, obsessions, zeal and fire; someone who inspires me to do better and more; someone I can admire for who they are, what they do and what they stand for.

4. What do you wear to bed?
Boxer briefs. If it’s much too hot, I’ll sleep naked. I never wear more than boxer briefs, though; not even in the dead of winter when frozen crows are falling off the belfry.

5. Name five things that irritate you about both sexes.
I don’t have any gender-specific irritations. Categorising them separately is silly. General irritations, however...

1) People without passion, thirst for knowledge and curiosity (see question 3).
2) People who have no dreams in their lives or higher goals than ‘I want to make <x> EUR a year’ and ‘I want a happy marriage with two children and a nice house.’
3) People who don’t read and condescend to others who do.
4) Arrogant, pompous people with no sense of humour or self-criticism.
5) Drunk people (when I’m sober).

6. Who do you like and why?
Tom Waits. He’s an amazing storyteller and musician with a voice to die for.

Fuck you if you thought I was going to answer this question differently.

7. What’s your opinion on cheating?
It’s despicable and unforgivable.

8. What are you currently worried about?
I’m worried about my new education and whether I’ve made the right decision to transfer. I’m worried about finding a decent and decently priced apartment in one of the biggest and most expensive cities in Germany. I’m worried about my capabilities as a would-be counsellor.

9. Who was your last kiss with?
Not counting greeting kisses and unsolicited drunk-at-party kisses: with a girl back in Belgium.

10. What are your views on drugs and alcohol?
As long as you don’t harm anyone else and you have been taught the dangers and consequences of using, then it’s your own freedom and your own responsibility. However, if you fuck up, you’re clearly not responsible enough and should be treated accordingly.

I do believe if you make it the core of your life and need either to get through the day, have a good time or throw a successful party, you’re shallow, idiotic and weak. But, ultimately, that’s your own business.

11. Detail your current relationship.
I’m single.

12. What do you want to say to an ex?
Nothing. I have already said everything.

13. What’s a date you would love to go on?
There is no perfect date for me. It begins and ends with the person I would be with. Everything else would be a bonus.

So as not to cop out on this answer, I’ll just name some random possibilities: go out to dinner, then to a classical concert (preferably nothing sacred or too complex) or an opera, then to a quiet wine bar and then walk home along the canal; stay in a cabin in the middle of the woods during autumn or snow-white winter with long walks, hot drinks and warm blankets; go exploring a beautiful city with lots of history or a quaint little village...

14. Name something disgusting you do.
I don’t do anything disgusting.

15. What is the best thing to happen to you this week?
On Saturday I’m going to help out at the animal home. They’re setting up a French fries stand to raise funds.

What already happened: a very good friend of mine whom I hadn’t talked to for many months called me in the middle of the night a few days ago. It was great to hear from him again.

Another thing was that yesterday after my shift at the trauma care institute, some interns and nurses got together in one of the staff relaxation rooms to spend the rest of the night watching movies, talking and playing games, accompanied by a good deal of snack food. It’s wonderful to see how friendly and concerned everyone... but it’s also necessary in that kind of environment.

16. Name three things you are proud of about yourself.
At the risk of sounding disingenuously modest, I’m not really proud of anything about myself. I am what I am and I do what I do, and that’s all there is to it. I’m glad and happy that, for instance, I can play piano decently and that I can force myself to keep myself and my life organised, but I am certainly not proud of it. Perhaps it’s my skewed sense of self-esteem, but it seems a little immodest to be truly proud of anything. It’s dangerously close to arrogance and might make you prone to laziness and satisfied with subpar performance.

I suppose if I had to prevent a half-copout answer, I could say I am glad/proud of my work ethic. My supervisors and colleagues in this job and my previous internships repeatedly remarked on it so I suppose there is some truth to that. But, again, it’s not something I am proud of or ever consciously think about. I just love the work I do and I want to do everything to the best of my abilities. I abhor half-assed things.

17. What scares you?
That intense look that only a righteously enraged woman can give you.

18. What’s your opinion on disrespecting one’s parents?
No comment.

19. What’s something that never fails to make you feel better?
If I’m not horribly upset but merely melancholy or down, I will play piano. Otherwise: playing with dogs, seeing grebes and ducklings, listening to a few specific blues songs or distracting myself by getting lost in a stack of books on one particular subject (e.g. Aztec mythology) so I forget why I felt bad in the first place.

20. What was the last argument you had?
My last heated but ‘friendly’ argument took place two weeks ago when a small group debated the merits of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony, and the ideas of his Fifth Symphony.

As far as a hostile argument/fight goes, I don’t remember. I rarely get into emotion-fuelled, hostile fights and when I do I immediately retreat because I don’t want to get involved.

21. Name something you can’t seem to get over.
No comment.

22. What are ten things about you people don’t really expect?
You’ll have to ask friends of mine who have been surprised ten times.

23. What is something you always think ‘what if’ about?
No comment.

24. What would you like to say to five different people?
I’d just ask five different people, ‘Why?’ For a variety of reasons that’s not possible anymore. Generally I always say what I think or want/need to say. Although it’s not always pleasant, it’s for the best.

25. Name ten ways to win your heart.
I’m not a game to be won. See question 3.

26. What are your religious beliefs?
I don’t believe in a God of any kind, nor in heaven and hell, nor in an afterlife. However, I consider myself to be a spiritually-minded person and throughout the years I have been struggling with and trying out several contradictory concepts, both religious and philosophical, to see if I could accept, cherish and champion them. Protestantism, Catholicism, Calvinism, Stoicism, agnosticism, Buddhism, various forms of Gnosticism, esoteric Christianity, Neoplatonism, American Transcendentalism, shamanism, (neo)-paganism... I’m not saying I tried them all out, but I studied them all to see whether it would be worth trying to live like that. I didn’t feel like myself with any of them. The two concepts I tried to adhere to for prolonged periods of time were American Transcendentalism and Plotinus’ interpretation of Platonism (what is known now as Neoplatonism). Eventually those too were given up, although from time to time I still go back to reading Plotinus’ Enneads and other Neoplatonic texts for inspiration.

Although I have since done away with any Christian or otherwise purely religious ideas, there are still religious (or largely religious) writers I continue to turn to for guidance: Søren Kierkegaard, Augustinus of Hippo, Martin Luther, Paul Tillich, Jakob Böhme, Nikolai Berdyaev... Other concepts that are more philosophical than religious in matter have been tried and discarded as well, but some also helped shape me to my currents beliefs, vague as they may be, and continue to guide me: Ralph Waldo Emerson’s general philosophy, Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy of the will, existentialism, Ernst Cassirer’s and Hans-Georg Gadamer’s writings on religion, Aleksei Khomiakov’s sobornost, Trotskyism, Friedrich Nietzsche’s perspectivism... What all those words have taught me is mainly how powerful the human mind is, but they inspire me to think in different directions and consider things from different perspectives, which is something I love doing... although I do have the tendency to come out of it in a rather morose, confused and desolate mood.

Right now, I’m in a place where I don’t know what I am comfortable with. I’m struggling with contradictory ideas about a transcendental and unifying but mindless power. Whether it’s restricted to humans or nature in general, I don’t know. Whether it’s restricted to Earth or more, I don’t know. What I do not believe, however, is that there is nothing at all. Science has not come far enough to work out the intricacies of even mere physical existence, let alone of anything much, much deeper than that. I doubt it ever will. Perhaps this theoretical power, if it exists, can ultimately be explained by science. I don’t know, but I believe it exists nonetheless. But, again, I don’t believe in a higher power, and especially not in a sentient one.

27. Talk about your siblings.
I don’t have any siblings.

28. What was the month you were happiest this year and why?
I don’t know. I don’t reminisce in months, especially not if all of them were more or less the same.

29. Post a picture of yourself.
No.

30. What changed this month and what do you hope will happen next month?
I transferred my education from general psychotherapy with a focus on depth psychology to psychotraumatology. That means I will be working mainly, if not exclusively, with trauma patients of all kinds instead of doing ‘general’ counselling work. I’m incredibly excited about the change. I also started my summer job at the institute where I will be studying and they’re giving me a lot of responsibilities, which I love. There’s talk of continuing this next semester into my internship, perhaps combining it with a secondary job at a nearby, smaller institute as well.

I’m also looking for a new apartment that’s in, or closer to, Köln and one that’s also cheaper than the one I’m living in now. It’s going to be difficult to find something suitable and I just may need to move to a student house instead. I’d rather not, though. So I’m hoping by next month I will have found a new apartment.

Oh, go on then, I'll take time out of my extremely busy schedule to jot down the answers to these questions nobody will actually care to read:

1. Weird things you do when you're alone?
I act out scenes and plays in my head, sometimes I actually go as far as playing each individual character in said scenes, doing a kind of "improv" session but with myself. I'm really into my plays, so if I think of an idea for a "sketch", I'll automatically start acting it out to myself. I've been caught a few times doing this too, though gladly it's only been family.

2. How have you changed in the past 2 years?
Well.. I've grown more mature, happier and just in general improved upon myself. As an 18 year old I was in this stage of self loathing where I couldn't get out of bed some days, a real sad case because my life was oh so depressing. On reflection, I wasted a good six or seven months just self pitying when I could have done something about it. Now I am, I've chosen to live life and haven't gone back into the whole "woe is me" routine. I have my bad days, but who doesn't, right? and everything I care deeply about is now practised as often as possible rather than the whole "i'll do it tomorrow" attitude. My acne has cleared up considerably, my quiet, shy voice has flourished into a confident one and my attitude towards relationships has become more realistic.

I could write for hours about the things that have changed with me in the past two years, but I'll keep it to a condensed paragraph, for now.

3. What kind of person attracts you?
I'd like to say confident people. Confidence is really attractive to me, I love it in a person. I also really find people who are moving forward in life inspiring, not ones that are stagnating and doing nothing. I can't imagine feeling like I'd accomplished everything I need to and just... stay still (metaphorically, of course). If, for some reason, I felt I'd mastered something beyond any comprehensible improvement, I'd find something else to do. People who enjoy exploring mysteries too (so basically Scooby and friends), they're really cool. There's nothing like being able to take a walk in the pitch black with someone who won't complain about there being no light. Maybe that sounds weird, hell, probably, but I like someone who enjoys that kind of thing.

4. What you wear to bed
Boxers, or nothing, depending on heat.

5. 5 things that irritate you about the opposite sex/same sex
Well.. I can't really generalise a gender, so I'll just mention 5 things that totally put me off a person:

1. Self sorrow. I've been there, sure, but damn I didn't make it public for attention. So I guess self sorrow/attention whoring.
2. Inconsistency. Don't get it mixed up with impulsive, I like impulsive. Inconsistent people are those who will say something to you, but another thing to another. Another way of putting it would be two faced people, but everyone does that to some extent.
3. Liars. People who lie about everything, either to make them appear interesting, for attention or just because they can't face the truth.
4. Theist/Atheist nutjobs. The ones who go out of their way to attempt to ridicule someone's (lack of)faith for seemingly no reason. I enjoy winding them up, though.
5. Bad smells. If someone's breath is always stinking to the high heavens, I can't stand them. Same with general body odour, it makes me feel ill.

6. The person you like and why you like them
As it happens, I do like someone, but I care not to discuss the details.

7. Your opinion on cheating on people
Don't do it. I hate the sheer spinelessness and sleaziness of the people who do cheat on their partners. If they're not in love or do not care about their partner any more to the extent they want to go have sex with someone else, at least have the decency, respect and balls to tell your current partner, and if you're just that much of a dick that you want to fuck as many girls as possible, go to clubs where casual sex is common, don't play with someone's feelings because you're a total cunthole.

8. Something you're currently worried about
My health. It's been a persistent issue for a few months now, and it's beginning to worry me to the extent that I can't sleep at night on occasion. My liver is on the fritz and there's nothing in my power I can do to sort it. The doctors have told me I'll be fine so long as they check on it regularly, but damn it's fucking scary to think I might one day just wake up to blood filled urine and a trip to the ER.

9. Your last kiss
Oh god. It's been a while now, I'd say my last kiss was a fair few months ago.

10. Your views on drugs and alcohol
They're both bad, but alcohol is alright by me, in moderation of course. I don't understand those who drink it every day and I can't imagine at all being in the frame of mind to want to take any sort of drugs. Maybe I'm a prude, but fuck drugs.

11. Your current relationship blah blah
Non existent.

12. Things you want to say to an ex
I don't really have much to say that hasn't already been said to them.

13. A date you would love to go on
With the person I like, of course. The date would begin with something along the lines of going out for a meal. I don't buy into the whole watching a film together thing, I want to talk to my date without being hushed by other people. Nor do I think it a good idea to just have a picnic in the park for a first date, that's something I'd do when I got to know someone beyond the first date. It would definitely end in sitting on the rooftop of a house or on a hilltop looking at the stars. Cheesy as fuck, yes, but god damn do I love the atmosphere. Especially if there's no light pollution around, the sheer beauty of that is astonishing.

14. Something disgusting you do
I can't think of anything. I suppose public urination when I'm really drunk (extremely rare) counts?

15. The best thing to happen to you this week
Well, I managed to secure my job at Argos, I'm not being laid off because of the sheer fact I managed to excel so well there. That's by far the best thing that's happened.

16. 3 things you are proud of about your personality
1. I am persistent, and complete everything I need to do on time
2. I am extremely enthusiastic about the things I truly care about
3. I'm charming, or so I've been told.

17. Things that make you scared
I only really have one fear. There's this one nightmare I have, it's the only thing to scare me in my waking hours ever. It begins with me sleeping in bed, but I begin to feel light, like I'm floating. It feels really good at first, as if all my problems are just floating away. I ascend to the clouds and still feel light as air and relieved of my burdens. Then I get past the earth's atmosphere (this is where I start to feel pure fear) and I keep ascending into space, I zoom out of the entire universe and I begin to ascend above any form of comprehensible existence ever and remain there for the rest of the time I'm asleep with a feeling I can only describe as "choking in desperation". I'm getting all sweaty thinking about it, I hope this was fucking worth it.

18. Disrespecting parents
I have a lot of respect for my parents, I'm sure respect for each person's individual parents is different because hey, who's going to respect runaway deadbeat father/mother, right? My parents raised me and took care of me and I think respect is the bare minimum they deserve.

19. Something that never fails to make you feel better
A good conversation with an old friend will never go amiss.

20. The last argument you had
Someone who I used to be friends with has recently been pissing me off in ways unimaginable. She's cheated on her now ex boyfriend, and to gain sympathy from me, has lied about having a miscarriage. I called her out on her bullshit, telling her that the several miscarriages she's "gone through" are naught but lies to get sympathy and of course, she didn't take the accusations well. I regret nothing about the way I handled it, especially since she was trying to manipulate people into not making her look like the enemy. I also began to question several other bad things in her life she told me about, which I previously consoled her for. It's not pretty between us two at the moment and I doubt we'll ever be friends again, I really do.

21. Something you can't seem to get over
Nothing. Not at the moment, anyway.

22. 10 things about you people don't really expect
Well, that would be telling, now, wouldn't it?

23. Something you always think 'what if' about
I don't really think about what ifs. Nothing persistent, anyway. My regrets tend to be short lived, followed with the thought that my regrets have shaped me into who I am now, which I'm happy with at the moment.

24. Things you want to say to five different people
There's nothing I've wanted to say that hasn't already been said.

25. 10 ways to win your heart
There's no real way to win my heart, I'm afraid.

26. Your religious beliefs
I'm agnostic, although I have a lot of complex sounding beliefs that are probably too stupid to write down publicly. Maybe another day.

27. Talk about your siblings
I spent a night in a cell because of a fight I got into with my brother, and I worry deeply about my sister who seems to have a lot of problems. Alas, she talks nothing about them, so I can't do anything to remedy it, just hope for the best really. I love them both, I think.

28. The month you were happiest this year and why
July. I got a job, future prospects and my skin has stopped scarring badly on my back at the beginning of July. It's just generally been a happy month, hell, a happy damned year if I do say so myself.

29. A picture of yourself
No Picture Available At This Time.

1: the same things as when im not alone.
2: a lot. gained some social skills, not quite so obviously autistic anymore. started playing video games. started making video games. went to college. made friends. moved out.
3: someone who isnt stereo-typically into pop music, and isnt orange.
to be more specific: redheads and brunettes who game. basically anyone who isnt bitchy or generic.

4: tshirt and underwear? i generally just take my trousers and jumper off. too much effort for that late at night for anything strenuous.
5: bitchyness, generic-ness (its a word to me.), egos, no search for understanding or knowledge, and stupidity. people are quick to judge but slow to correct themselves, and it bugs me.
6: like? everyone who isnt any of the above. havent really got anyone special in my eyes, i just dont have the time or effort for it. but crush: Kristen Stewart. shut up.
7: pointlessness. if its cheating because the other person is better, then you neither have the guts to end it with the one youre currently with, or you wont admit theres something wrong. if its cheating because you enjoy the naughtiness, i think you should just at least set that straight before entering the relationship.
8: whether or not i can finish a Dear Esther clone with a sci-fi twist by the end of the year.
9: havent had a first kiss yet. unless you count new years the time before last where a friend of mine met a drunk girl who tried launching herself on me.
10: the epitome of humanity. weed cures cancer, melows you out, and generally does no harm unless taken in seriously high quantities, and alcohol and tobacco is legal because tobacco makes money, and alcohol is a drink. they both do more harm than pot, but are illegal because of societies views.
11: single life is great. no bullshitting with spouses, and i have money for things.
12: nothing cause they dont exist.
13: have i not already said that there isnt much point to a date? if and when: dinner out followed by movies, then a walk through a park to hers to drop her off. its hanging out, not a date. expectation leads to disappointment.
14: forget to brush my teen on occasion.
15: its Friday, so i have a whole week to base this on, but probably Wednesday. in art theory at college we got to watch buffy. talking about perceptions of reality and wether or not my reality is real. it was awesome.
16: im understanding. i dont judge without getting to know someone. im caring. im not going to go and do something just because i want to. if someone else is going to feel bad because i didnt take them, then theyre coming with me. if someone is going to get offended because i went, then i wont go. i have a purpose to my existence. i strive for understanding and knowledge, i dont just live day by day because i was born and therefore have to wake up and live a life.
17: people who love inflicting pain without a purpose. you can reason with someone who has a purpose, but some people just want to watch the world burn. yes that just happened.
18: its inevitable but pointless. its going to happen and theres nothing wrong with it, but dont get too annoyed with it. people who do it just because they can however need to be told a few things first.
19: walking in to a room of people and being greeted. seriously, if im depressed or feeling down, all i have to do is walk into the lounge and say hi to someone.
20: arguement? does a discussion count? if not, then 5 weeks ago when my step-dads point for me not being able to use his internet was 'we are more than half way through the month and we have used nearly a third of our monthly quota'. yeah.
21: just how amazingly beautiful our planet is.

22: Autism! history of self harm? i skate. i enjoy philosophy. i dont really give two shits about relationships. despite my nervousness, im not awkward. i like transhumanism. i live in a house full of stoners. i live 200m from where i study? i honestly dont know. ooh! im honest.
23: what if my green is your blue?
24: hello.
25: dont be stupid. dont be generic. dont blindly follow. be happy. be caring. have a lust for knowledge. be understanding. have patience. enjoy what i enjoy. dont listen to shit music.
26: see topic: http://www.emo-corne...e-and-the-same/
27: i have more brothers and sisters than my little sister. my dad has me, my brother, and my little sister, my step dad has my little brother and sister, my mum and dad have me and my not-so-little brother. my brother is taller and stronger than me, my little sisters are 3 and 6, my little brother is 4 and my not-so-little brother is 16.
28: This month! every day is better than the last, more knowelege to learn, more things to see! be happy!
29: Posted Image my hair has since grown much longer. this was taken near the beginning of the year.
30: lots of things! next month? more and more things! i hate sameness.

1. Weird things you do when you're alone?
I don't think I'm any weirder alone than I am when around other people.

2. How have you changed in the past 2 years?
Welp. Two years ago I would've been fourteen, almost fifteen, and about to start freshman year. Hm. I've grown completely out of my "WAAAHHHHH WOE IS MEEEEE" phase, thank goodness. More mature in general, really. Prettier, much better sense of style, more level-headed, less awkward, and I feel like I know what I want out of life a bit better.

3. What kind of person attracts you?
Someone whose sense of humor aligns with mine well, sweet, caring, very intelligent, kind, very honest, clean (I couldn't stand having a messy boyfriend >_<), and finally someone who loves life and loves to learn and try new things.

4. What you wear to bed
Depends on the temperature of my room.

5. What are 5 things that irritate you about the opposite sex/same sex?
I can't answer this question without making ridiculous generalizations, so PASS.

6. The person you like and why you like them?
PASS.

7. Your opinion on cheating on people?
It's absolutely despicable and inexcusable.

8. Something you're currently worried about?
My summer assignments and starting school.

9. Your last kiss?
My then-boyfriend. Happened several months ago.

10. Your views on drugs and alcohol?
Prescription drugs are fine, obviously, though the pharmaceutical industry has got quite the racket going. However, the use and/or abuse of illegal drugs is disgusting and immoral. Same goes for alcohol. I don't care if it isn't harming anyone else, you only get the one body and purposely doing things to harm it is just downright stupid.

11. Your current relationship?
I'm not in one.

12. Things you want to say to an ex?
Nothing.

13. A date you would love to go on?
Well, it begins and ends with the person I'm with, but, if it were possible, I'd love exploring somewhere that's rich in history and culture. I'd love to go to Rome again. <3

14. Something disgusting you do?
I don't do anything disgusting.

15. The best thing to happen to you this week?
Haven't the foggiest.

16. 3 things you are proud of about your personality?
"Proud" might be too strong a word, but I think I have excellent organizational skills, I'm determined to see things through, and I tend to be quite open-minded about a lot of things.

17. What are some things that make you scared?
Definitely spiders and insects of any colour, shape, and size. Also, walking around my house in the dark never fails to freak me out. Any member of my family dying is also really scary.

18. Disrespecting parents?
PASS.

19. Something that never fails to make you feel better?
Curling up somewhere cozy with a really great book.

20. The last argument you had?
I don't honestly know. I'm not usually particularly argumentative.

21. Something you can't seem to get over?
PASS.

22. 10 things about you people don't really expect?
You'd have to ask those "people" now, wouldn't you?

23. Something you always think 'what if' about?
I don't tend to think in "what if"s. Seems rather pointless to speculate about such things.

24. Things you want to say to five different people?
PASS.

25. 10 ways to win your heart?
I'm not some unattainable prize that has a hefty price tag. <_<

26. Your religious beliefs?
I'm atheist. So, it's more like, lack of religious beliefs.

27. Talk about your siblings.
I have one brother. He's 21 and in the USMC.

28. The month you were happiest this year and why?
It'd definitely have to be July. I was on vacation in Europe for three weeks. <3

29. A picture of yourself.
No.

30. What changed this month and what do you hope will happen next month?
I plan on doing well in school. Junior year w00t w00t.
