The Abomination
"I'm not a slacker; I'm a minimalist."
This is a list of everything that you really need to know about me. Or as much as I want you to know about me, ne?
ABOUT ME
First thing. I usually don't come across as such online, but I'm a very quiet, antisocial person in real life. Unless I'm with friends. In which case... I'm still somewhat antisocial, I guess, but less quiet. By antisocial, I don't mean shy or awkward (though I could very well be both, I don't actually know). I mean that I'm not really interested in people. Neither the things they have to say nor the things they do. The majourity of people around me, online and in real life, just strike me as boring, insipid, and totally predictable. Online, it's easier. If I find someone boring, I can ignore him, avoid him, pretend I didn't see his banal comment, etc. But in real life, I'm expected to actually make casual conversation - polite conversation, at that. So instead, I remain quiet. Or lie outrageously. I lie frequently. Not so much online; moreso in real life because otherwise I'm just not interested in talking to stupid people. I may be arrogant to a minour degree, but really, I just don't like most people. It's not that I look down on them all or anything. I'm sure each person has his own strengths and virtues, but if they're not ones that interest me, chances are, I'm not going to like them. And I happen to have very odd tastes... or so I'm told.
Second thing. I'm a Christian, which many people find weird. I don't understand why. Again, though, I seem to project a very different image online. Probably more aggressive, more blunt, more "evil", I guess, but that's only because I don't have to care about the consequences of telling someone right out that I think they have a brain the size of a walnut. Anyways, being a Christian doesn't mean that I can't still be cynical. Which I am. I don't particularly like the "good guy" role in most movies/books/whatever because I find them cliche and unrealistic. I prefer most of the antagonists because I can sympathize with them. Because I believe humans are inherently terrible. I guess that's just a long-winded way of saying that I really dislike anything cliche, trite, or anything that bores me. I don't trust the crowd instinct, I don't trust the media, and I generally prefer to reserve overwhelming enthusiasm or hatred for something or someone that actually deserves it.
Last thing. Uh... I sound like a psychopath, don't I? I'm not. I promise. I like burning crap up, but I neither wet my bed excessively, nor do I torture small animals. I really like my friends, and I'd go to great lengths for them. I would say that I'd die for them, but that's not saying much, considering that I don't really mind dying. I'm not going to go out of my way to kill myself (because it's way too much trouble anyways), but I wouldn't particularly be upset if I were to die, as long as it's not excessively painful or something. Basically, I really like spending time with my friends and I like them to be happy. Outside of them, and some of my family members, I don't care much about other people. No, I do not care about poverty-stricken people in the third world. Their condition is unfortunate, but I can't actually bring myself to care. I'm a terrible person, and a terrible Christian. I realize that.
