This is about me, all me. But because I'm fancy, I'm calling it "About Moi".
Okay, to be honest, I don't really like these sections. They often feel forced, false and end up as a means to stroke one's own ego. So allow me to stick with the tradition:
My name is Lazarus Constantinople Tristonia- Ha! No, I'm Lance. As you can tell, I feel more comfortable hiding behind humour as a mechanism for my crippling sense cynicism and love of self-loathing! I live and work in the North of England but I talk with an oddly misplaced southern accent. My ideologies tend to be rather left-leaning and liberal; I'd say I'm somewhere between Green and Labour (politically), but for all intents and purposes, I'm an official Green Party member. I always tip serving staff because I feel mean if I don't, I never knowingly kill insects- I'm always apologising to snails or slugs I accidentally stand on in the dark- oh, and I adore plants. I'm basically a massive hippy with the crude humour of our new generation, the inquisitive mind of a scientist, and I complain like an OAP. What a great combination!
I haven't yet discovered what I want from life, which sucks, but I'm sure I'll work it out soon (he says doubtfully)... I know I want to write, be artistic, work with people, help the world, or help the world by going into a scientific field- probably botany. However, my artistic skills are dwindling: I have the ability but no ideas. I now have to wait one year to enrol on the next access course for combined sciences, so now I'm kindling the fires of literary ingenuity- a skill I haven't quite yet lost- which is what brings me here: to this new blog. The fresh frontier on which I stand, valiant with pad and pencil, envisaged with ideas of a better educated, more progressive society, where people do not stigmatise illness nor shame what they do not know. I want a world where those with such afflictions can come forward to openly discuss their issues in lieu of staying in the shadows that eventually become their friends.
My name is Lance Tranter. I'm a 22 year old, crudely humoured multipotentialite (look it up) who happens to be depressed. Welcome to my blog!
I think it's great your about me section isn't some general list of things other people have done but actually about what you feel, want and can do.
ReplyDeleteThere's no sugar coating just simply being honest which makes me want to be more open about my own issues too. Don't think I'm ready just yet but I'll get there.
Side not you should definitely change your name to Lazarus Constantinople Tristonia
Thank you! Glad you like. Also glad to inspire, even if it's inspiring later actions.
DeleteHaha, noted. I'll think about it ;)
