A very delicate flower. I'd like to think of myself as an orchid, takes forever to bloom, but when it does, the effect is sheer radiance. Conceited, I know. Don't say that to my face though, as delicate flowers are easy to break. Be kind, good sir or miss.
Seriously though, I'm the exact opposite of that. I'm sarcastic, frank, assertive, and a little too chaotic. And when I talk about 'taking forever to bloom' I mean that I rarely shave or brush my hair. And when I say that when I do it's 'sheer radiance', I just mean that I actually look presentable.
And if there's any 'delicate flower' that needs breaking, it's Bianca's obsession with Cibele, or Ray's idea of maturity and immaturity, or Charlene's idea of competing priorities between school and dating, or Diana's inability to deal with personal responsibility, or....
I should probably stop criticising my friends, before I lose them all. But then again, maybe they should reflect on what I brought up, too. So I guess we all have things we SHOULD be doing, don't we?
My name, if you care to know, is Gregory. I am a social worker, working for an anti-poverty advocacy group, and I have a background in theatre and performance art that I will never be able to shake, as much as I pretend to try to.
I am Here for:
Fun, why else? And to kill time, I have plenty of that for the next few weeks.
Hobbies:
Im interested in taking over the world via the sheer force of my will and charisma. Just as soon as I find my will and charisma. In the meantime, I read, see far too much theatre, drink, smoke, go to coffee shops, play crazy 8's with little chinese girls named Charlene, and am generally merry!
