Do you ever just feel like starting a riot?

I'm generally a "fish out of water"; particularly in my "native" environment. Yet the older I get, the less and less desire I have to "assimilate". I'm iconoclastic, on principle, and I have every intention of remaining this way. This seems largely responsible for much of my alienation (I'm looking into getting one of these
CatLady Starter Kits).

It's safe to say that I'm a "straight shooter" (straightforward/ "no bullshit"). I try to avoid situations that preclude this, as much as possible. And interpersonal "drama", I avoid like the deadliest of plagues.

I have an excruciating time motivating myself to start and complete routine, mundane tasks... and the simpler, and more concrete they are, the more likely I am to occasionally forget how to do them, in the middle of doing them (I have to consciously slow down my thought process and think about the steps as I do them; no joke). Some days, it's a triumph just to make it out of the house. Needless to say, I can be extremely absentminded at times, and have to be reminded that there's an external world. :p

I'm an introvert, but I know how to entertain and socialize (having been a bartender through much of my twenties). What this means is that I usually end up feeling more isolated around others, than when I am by myself. At times, I have reclusive tendencies.

I tend to vacillate between two extremes, depending on the context or my mood: serious and pensive, or zany and manic. I guess I'm just temperamental like that.

I do a lot of my "socializing" on the internet. I'm drawn to the darker, subversive side of life, yet I live in a rather homogeneous city in a rather conservative county in a rather shallow, anti-intellectual region of the state of California.

That having been said:

I tend to prefer artists, intellectuals, "punkers", dissidents, misfits, iconoclasts, malcontents, eccentrics, various other quirky and entertaining individuals, etc...

Pure intellect is not a requirement for me to consider you a friend. I merely ask that you be authentic or interesting.

daydreaming...

***Planning/saving up for a trip to Europe (20-country Eurail pass for 3 months) in the near future. I am looking to meet people from Europe who can offer advice/tips/suggestions, as well as "tour guides," while I'm over there.***

plotting rebellion(s)...

re-programming...

not "wage slaving" for others (anymore, at least)...

getting "my shit together"...

laughing out of context...

questioning cultural "norms"...

compulsively acquiring knowledge and then proceeding to do absolutely nothing with it; launching into spontaneous lectures on various topics; obscure academic/literary/cultural references; spouting random trivia...

Sometimes I make people laugh or think or feel understood...

Myers-Briggs: INTP

Enneagram: 5w4

I would imagine it's the hair (currently a "chelsea"; no, that's not me, and no, I'm not a "skin"); and the piercings... and that I'm kind of an
"amazon" (I've gotten quite a few Xena comparisons)...

and likely that I'm somewhat quiet and aloof if I don't already know or feel comfortable around you... I have a notorious aversion to "small talk", and a crooked, half-smile.

I HATE being rushed. I tend to walk slow and deliberate, and I'm generally alone.

- e e cummings...
George Orwell; Henry D. Thoreau; Chuck Palahniuk; Boyd Rice...
various non-fiction articles on useless, esoteric topics...

- Fight Club; The Big Lebowski; Sin City; Clockwork Orange; Confessions of A Dangerous Mind; Ghost World; anything Monty Python; The Matrix; 300; Metropolis; Georges Melies' "Trip To The Moon"... I like sci-fi; some "neo-noir"; off-beat comedy...
one can gather from my tentative list of favorites, that I pay a lot of attention to visual/art design and cinematography...

- "dark"/aggressive/transgressive counter-cultural music; and/or quirky, amusing shit; i.e. early/classic punk (no, I'm sorry, Blink 182 and Green Day are not "punk"); early/classic hardcore punk (think Bad Brains or GBH, not that contemporary "scene" drivel that marauds as "hardcore"); "death rock"; early industrial; industrial metal; industrial rock; early/classic metal; "thrash" metal; synth pop; "post punk"; "post hardcore"; some "oi!"; some "experimental" rock (think Radiohead or Sonic Youth); some "new wave"; hard rock; some classic rock; some etc...

- this question seems rather arbitrary, unless of course, you're a vegetarian/vegan, or one of those southern CA fitness fanatics

art (film/music/literature); philosophy; solitude; Fight Club; Wikipedia; humor; "scare quotes"; Lolcats; a flat iron; boots; corsets; herbal tea

I think it would be less daunting to list what I don't think about, which isn't much, except maybe sports or American Idol or designer brands... you get the idea...

Lately though: solipsism, self-determination, free will, the nature of belief, human potential, creativity, the absurd, The Matrix, "the ubermensch", travel, history...

I hope I die smirking.

pondering, listening to music, watching a movie, taking asinine quizzes, perusing Wikipedia, avoiding responsibility, catching a concert, socializing with marginal types, at the local dive bar, maybe a party...

I'm a jaded idealist (ask me; I've been around).

I have an uncouth obsession with "lolcats". I expect to be a cat lady "when I grow up".

The academic convention of placing a comma or period before the second set of quotation marks, really irks me.

I don't equate honesty nor empathy with weakness.

I believe we were meant to be freer than this. I'll never quite accept the fact that we let others make crucial (or even simple) decisions for us. Many of the laws we are expected to live by, strike me as limiting and pointless, and I sure didn't make them. [You're likely assuming (incorrectly) that I was raised as some privileged/sheltered middle-class brat with no clue; in reality, it's probable that I've seen more "hell" than you, or at least as much. From it, I've concluded, that we have a choice not to live in ignorance. I've fought to be a good person].

you aren't desperate nor indiscriminate;

you respect personal space (i.e. you aren't needy or clingy);

you are an independent thinker;

you are eccentric;

you have an off beat sense of humor (preferably absurd or satirical);

you are into "DIY" punk;

AND/OR you are a nice person (there's a difference between discriminating and snobbish)...
