| Bio: | "Ne zazhigaj ognja!" Ne zazhigaj ognja! Vo mgle dushistoj nochi click for translation or for Aris Christofellis to sing it quite beautifully. oh come on, you know me. I'm the odd person, the quiet one, the one no one really notices. yeah see I'm so mysterious lol. I'm introverted and can be extremely dorky and oh gosh golly I just don't care. I'm me and I've been mostly okay with that for 30 years now and I keep to myself largely anyway. I see no point in hiding what I am, since that would only be a lie, but I'm not going to rub it in anyone's face either, or try to make them change to conform to me. I am constantly trying to better myself (in odd ways, to be sure) and that's the best I have to offer come what may. I am a fluid person, an idealist who understands that reality isn't going to just go away, and that only by acknowledging this reality can I work towards a better one; but being an idealist and a perfectionist trapped in reality can be quite a headache. I tend to run the emotional and logical gamut coming to terms with, and renegotiating terms with, and then coming to terms with that yet again... also can I just say that, even though we always seem to speak in absolutes or diametric opposites, I really do not think in either-or terms. this kind of duality is much too confining, and an artificial construction on top of that. as the Japanese say, even the other side has another side. and although I have come to severely dislike the word "spectrum" (since my two children are autistic), that kind of view of things is much more feasible and helpful... even though I personally hold reality to be, not either-or, not eeny-meeny-miney, and not even a spectrum from one extreme to another, but instead an infinite panorama of possibilities. it is no contradiction to say that I am an idealist and also realistic, or that I can be very emotional and very logical. etc. I am all these things and more. Trivia-wise, I'm Pisces born in the year of the Dragon. "With Piscean tenderness added to Dragon brashness, these individuals are still vivid and impassioned, but less self-involved and more responsive to the needs of others. However, the Dragon motivation is still there, hidden underneath that seemingly tranquil surface." Here is a very apt description of me (go down to the Marina Margaret Heiss bit); makes me wonder if they've been watching me personally my entire life, really... you can also find me here: what I'm doing with my life / a tour of the library / compendium of thoughts on books read | |
