Self Overview:
This needed to be redone. Sorry for all those who enjoyed my old self-overview.
Let’s start with some basics. Looking over my old profile, I gather that I was a normal human being when I wrote it. Well...I still am. Except now I have added every Beatles song I know to my interests list. So what to say?
I’m still Askme, but a lot of people call me Phania. Keriana Williams calls me Phunya for the sake of spelling it phonetically. My parents call me “you” and “the girl”. My brother Mannerheim calls me Girlman. Charming, isn’t he?
You’ll note that I’m a friend of Manny, but he’s not a friend of me. Okay, let’s talk about friends. In the real world, I don’t have that many true friends. Most are there because that’s the way the universe works. I don’t get along with everyone, despite how desperate I used to be to make everyone smile. My parents tend to disapprove of most of my good friends, because my parents disapprove of me. My online friends may not know how I wake up in the mornings or what I eat for dinner each night, but they know how I feel about books, politics, and music...subjects that I shall bring up later. In the not-so-real-world, my friends include Benji, Selwyn, Matthew, Lance, Ainsley, Anya, Borya, Siena, Leo, and many others. They go away when I want them too, so I’m safe there. They’re Voices, except I can see them. They keep me amused when I’ve finished my work and have been told to keep quiet. Sometimes I only talk to them in my head, but other times I’ll talk to them alloud. This freaks Mannerheim out. Another bonus!
Right, perhaps now I’ll talk about languages. I learn Latin at a grade higher than the rest of my class. I learn German too, but am far behind. Russian is not my strong point. My Welsh vocabulary is scattered by the Western Wind, and I’m going to have to wait a while to properly learn Yiddish. Karora tells me to stick with Latin, but truth be told I’m getting tired of it. German is handy for invading chat rooms. Russian is great when you want some of the tough kids to protect you after school. Welsh has very little point except for when you like Taliesin. And Yiddish...that’s fashionable these days.
Now about books. I love reading. I mean, I really love reading. I like classics, fantasy, horror, science-fiction, and history textbooks. War and Peace is sitting on my bedside table for the second time. I’m rather surprised at myself for that. Caiseal Mor gets his own shelf in my bedroom, right where I can reach any of those marvellous books without knocking picture frames over. I got my first Caiseal Mor book when I was eleven. I was ill, and in a hotel room, and my mother handed The Harp at Midnight to me. I stared at the cover blankly, read the blurb, and didn’t read the book until ten days later. I still love it. I had my grandmother send me all of Mor’s other available books, but I read them out of sequence. That didn’t really matter so much. Apart from...wait, I shan’t spoil them for anyone else. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy books sit beside my desk on top of my old Latin work. I read them instead of cleaning my bedroom.
Since I live in Australia, I might as well talk a bit about Australian politics. Everyone here hates John Howard, homosexuals especially. But really, would you rather John Howard or Kim Beazley? Right, so Peter Costello has an evil glint in his eye, but you can’t vote for a man who doesn’t even know the names of the people in his party. I hate Australian politics. John Howard’s been Prime Minister ever since I can remember. I wrote a letter to him once. Didn’t get a reply. I know the people who read all the letters sent to him, and they usually write replies. So screw the government. I’m not actually a communist, despite my favourite song being Back In The USSR, and my name tag saying I’m from the Soviet Union. American politics annoy me too. A friend sent me a text message saying he wished all Americans would die, but I sent back that the problem would be solved with far less bloodshed if only George W. Bush died. I don’t think all American’s are stupid. Just one in particular. I’m all for Tony Blair in Britain. He’s a funny guy, not just because he has a peculiar manner of speaking.
About music now...I’m obsessed with Silly Wizard, Old Blind Dogs, Battlefield Band, and of course The Beatles. People don’t know Silly Wizard, Old Blind Dogs, or Battlefield Band (unless you’re seventy-five and Scottish) here, but the moment you say The Beatles you see recognition flare in their eyes. Come on, Sir Paul McCartney is the greatest. I’m not so much into Lennon, though my father is. I like philosophy, but I also like songs that make me feel like I’m here for a good reason. Because if I’m not, God and/or my parents really did make a mistake. Andy M. Stewart is my favourite singer. I love his low, melodic voice, and if he doesn’t come to Australia next Spring I’m going to burn down a public building.
Okay, so you’ve figured I’m schizophrenic and a pyromaniac. What else? Well, I’m obsessive compulsive, but I don’t align everything any more. I figured I had better things to do. Let me tell you about washing my hands. Every morning, I get up, wash my hands, get my clothes, shower, change, wash my hands, brush my hair, wash my hands, put my shoes on, wash my hands, put my Contac lenses in, wash my hands, go to the kitchen, get some breakfast out (this only happens if I’m not being driven to school), put the breakfast on the table with a placemat, wash my hands, eat the breakfast, wash my hands, get a glass of water, drink it, wash my hands, brush my teeth, wash my hands, clean my retainer, wash my hands. Is it really any wonder Australia is running out of water? One step I can never, ever, miss is washing my hands after touching a placemat or a sticker. Don’t even get me started on stickers.
So...I don’t know what else to say. I go on Bzoink at least once a day. If I’m not on for a whole day, it means I’m sick for whatever reason. This has been happening a lot lately. I’m on my way to 1,000 posts on the forums. I don’t get to go on the chat so much any more, because my parents believe chats are evil. Hell, they think sugar is evil.
Speaking of which, nine out of ten times people talk to me, I’m high. This is not down to drugs of caffeine. It’s mostly just me. I was probably meant to be a vampire or something, because I’m actually more energetic when the sun goes down. I even look better! So really, if I’m completely random, get used to it or sod off.
My fingers hurt...
Snarj!
