| Introduction | Sydney. Spend lots of time reading books. I like going for really long walks, especially if it's dark and secretive. I'm a big nerd and I have a bit of an obsession with Slavoj Zizek and pre-9/11 Christopher Hitchens. I'm really shy sometimes, but then sometimes I'm really shouty. I'm a Marxist KIND OF but I usually think most other marxists are wrong about everything. I like making friends on the internet, and also in real life too. I play some video games, they're pretty cool. I'm pretty much constantly caught in awe of the complexity and beauty of everything as well as the ridiculousness of social situations, which can leave me a little overwhelmed, so I never remember anyones' name when they introduce themselves. Ever. Nothing personal. Unless you're a giant douche and it's deliberate. |
