My worst fear is to be misunderstood. I will take full ownership of my weaknesses. I admit them readily and without shame. On the other hand, I am too often boastful about my strengths, or self-righteous about my opinions (although, it's a fact that I am always right ;).
Basically, I'm pretty frickin' secure with I am, and I want to make sure everybody gets it right. My character flaws don't make me lose sleep, but fuck... if I know that someone in the world is going around with the idea that my favourite colour is blue when it is actually pink, well... I will not rest until I can set them straight.
Well. Except that my combined laziness, lack of attention span, and inability to take anything seriously (least of all, myself) often combine to override the above. So shit. Ignore all of that. I'll start over.
Basically I'm just an intelligent and pretty chill chick. Reasonably unflappable. Usually pretty confident and mostly happy (but then, we all falter). I'm sorry that so many of you find this threatening, but I'm glad that the rest of you are down with hanging around being stupid.
The universe is absurd. Expect me to point this out. I am sorry if this offends your world view. We're all fools. Especially me. Especially you.
Ta.
Alleviation of boredom. It doesn't usually work.

"Eaten any good books lately?"
My comfort books are The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Nausea by Jean Paul Sartre, Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren, anything by PG Wodehouse, and anything by Douglas Coupland. Also love Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Heinlein, Greg Egan, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert, Albert Camus, Douglas Rushkoff. Various non-fiction, especially of a skeptical nature. Or the opposite. Yay UFOs!
I dunno. I'm a girl. Shiny things, ponies, money, the colour pink, shopping, makeup... myep...
Creeps, idiots, Jesus.
FYI: MY INTERNET FINALLY WORKS. I'll be around.
CSS is in progress, I'm a lazy ass.
Trolls, /b/tards, goons... you're welcome here.
Lurkers, creeps, perverts, idiots, people who don't speak English... come on in, you're amusing to make fun of.
I ban or kick only for pretentiousness, or for asking idiotic questions. Unless you don't speak english. And if you don't speak english, you're not reading this, now are you. So you're probably asking me idiotic questions with horrible grammar already. Otherwise, if the rest of you have a problem with spammers or idiots in my room, just put them ignore. I know I do.
Disagreeing with me is against the rules. Also, it's my room, so I win all arguments by default, because you came to me. Maybe I'm pathetic for seeking attention on the Internet. You're more pathetic for giving it to me. *shrug* I don't care what you think of who I am -- I'm not looking for validation. Plus, I'm smarter than you.
Essential reading before coming into my room is here and here. Don't even try to tell me "you're not an atheist, you're agnostic", because you'd have to be a fuckin' retard. Yes, I am agnostic. Yes, I am also an atheist. No, I don't believe that god doesn't exist. No, I don't believe that god exists. Yes, this makes complete sense, because although agnostic in popular usage means someone who hasn't decided whether or not they believe in god... but uh... people are stupid. The answer to "do you believe in god" is either yes or no. THERE IS NO OTHER POSSIBLE ANSWER. "Yes" = theist. "No" = atheist. "Maybe" means nothing. If you don't know, your real answer is (face it, you atheist) no. N fucking O. Understand? Booooooolean variable. And T. H. Huxley can suck my dick! ONTOLOGY AND TAUTOLOGY, LOOK THOSE UP, TOO. Fuckwits. Carry on.
Please note: my room is an EPISTEMOLOGY FREE ZONE.
