10 Things You Might-or-Might-Not Know About Me

I haven't been updating my blog for a few centuries days already (close to a week there), and I decided, why not tell the readers a little about me? These aren't the darker secrets that I harbor, but it'll do. After all, I'm absolutely positive that you do not want to know what goes through my mind.

1) I multi-read/multi-watch
This might not come as a surprise to most of you I think. Apparently, some books are either too long-winded, boring or under some circumstances, not readable at that time (very scary ghost stories are not to be read at midnight), I will divert my attention to another book. At that time, if another event like the ones I mentioned above happens again, I might switch to another book. I can read up to 4 books at once and not get confused at their plot. Of course, I have to frequently cycle through them to prevent confusion in the plot. Same goes with anime and manga. I am currently watching 4 different series of anime and 27 manga series. I know, and you wonder why I always say I am busy when I have that many stuff to read. I wonder as well.

Note: Multitasking may cause the person to grow more than three arms which may or may not be under the person's control.

2) I can't hold a grudge no matter how hard I try
Ok, I might say something like, "You are evil and I don't want to talk to you again," or somehow give you the silent treatment and stuff, but trust me, if I consider you a friend, it won't last, at a maximum, over three days. I just can't keep grudges and stuff. After all, I like making friends. Of course, everyone's not the same and people might not be so forgiving towards me...

3) I think I have slight hyperactive disorder
I can't exactly say for sure, but I think I have SHD (Kids, I made this up). I have several evidence of this and I assure you I am not making this up (except for the name of the disorder). I appear to be unable to sit/stand still while talking on the phone. I will almost always walk around the house, from the hall to the kitchen then to the bedroom where I will make little circles there. Then there is about sitting still. I have a habit of shaking my legs whenever I am sitting down and not using them. Even when I'm doing my homework, my feet will decide to do a little dance on their own. At home, doing nothing unnerves me a lot. Keeping me in one place without anything to do is baaaaaaaad...

I just found this picture rather classic.

4) I have very, very frequent mood swings
First I'm all calm and peaceful; then I start raving about something and laughing maniacally. I could be smiling and being the happiest person in the world, then I'll stare into space or become mad at something minor. All of that is normal, considering me. I didn't really realize this until about a year ago. There was one time when I was doing my homework normally when somebody said a really lame joke and I couldn't stop laughing. And of course I became sullen after that. I wouldn't call it a bad thing, but sometimes it freaks people. I guess this has some relation to me being really, really high most of the time.

Aww, I wish I can have this indicator around.

5) I tend to repeat myself
I usually repeat something unnecessary a lot of times. For example, I found a cool joke/thing/incident somewhere, and I say it to A. After a few minutes, I laugh and say the same thing again to A. Needless to say, A was not amused. In turn, he made me bemused. Therefore, repeating myself is bad. Therefore, repeating myself is bad. Therefore, repeating myself is bad.

6) I have a very short attention span
Unfortunately this is 100% true. I usually to space out when someone is telling me something (usually if it's unimportant), my mind having drifted away. This is especially bad during study or classes. When teacher is talking and my mind wanders towards something else, I will find myself struggling to keep up as the last 10-15 seconds have just flew by. Luckily, when there is something that I am interested in, even slightly, I will not be afflicted by this problem. Say, what were we talking about again?


7) I believe very much in the supernatural
Yes, believe it or not, they do exist. At least, in my opinion. You see, I believe in the existence of the soul and life after death. So, if after going six feet under, where does your soul go? Why, to the afterlife of course! And then there are those who get stranded on the mortal plane and become what you people called spookies or ghosts, ghasts, ghouls or spirits. Then about the yeti, big foot and all, why not? They could be just very rare animals with a certain amount of intelligence hiding in sight because they are extinct. That or I'm a little high right now. As for vampires and werewolves, I have no comment. And aliens DO EXIST! The galaxy is so, so, so vast! Do you actually believe that we are the only sentient being in the universe? In our own galaxy, maybe (a very minuscule chance) but in the universe, no. Never! As for the spirits around us, I can say that I am quite frightened by them, although I am slightly interested in them. Just slightly, a small pinch.

A flying man! What could be the cause for this phenomenon??

8) I'm a person who sometimes do things at the last minute and I am really, really paranoid
I am a lazy person, that I can't deny. I procrastinate a lot, and I sometimes (by sometimes, I mean most of the time) I study just a day before the test (Note: I said test, not exam). As you have noticed in many of my previous posts, I am afflicted most heavily by the sin sloth. Come to think of it, why is it a sin? If you're lazy, you're lazy. It's not like you'll be bad person after being lazy. Besides that, I get really, really freaked out at stuff easily. An example would be: after reading a book titled "The Ways in Which We Go" (A book about how we can die, and how would it feel like dying that way eg. being eaten by a komodo dragon causes excruciating pain, I started having phobia of literally everything. I washed my hands more than 10 times that day. I gotta learn some common sense once in a while. It's not like every disease is out to get me. Right? Right??

9) I have a problem of talking before thinking
I may have offended you all once or twice or maybe more than ten times, that is for certain. I have a tendency of saying something before interpreting how it would hurt the feelings of others, irritate them or just plain piss them off. It's just that I have a rather fast talking speed and the words come out first before my mind can think it through. I often get into arguments with my friends and parents. And due to my rather bad nature, I always tend to think that I am right and just go along arguing. But I will cool down, and if it is my fault, I will apologize. And due to number 2, even if they say something rather hurtful, I don't think I will put it to heart. For those that I have offended in the past, I sincerely apologize and hope that you may tolerate me in the future to the best of your abilities.

10) I am really afraid of being lonely
It may sound very melodramatic of me to say that, but I'm afraid it is completely true. I am afraid to be all alone by myself. I treasure my friends (though I sometimes do not act like it) and am afraid to be left alone in this world. No matter if you're a classmate, a hi-bye friend, my best friend or someone I don't really know, I cherish all of you. I may appear to be selfish, annoying, cold-hearted or just an ignorant person who does not care about people's feelings, but deep down inside, I really do not want to lose any friends (although there are several people that I might not call friends, but that's a different story). In fact, making friends is good, and I, being a worrywart, fear that I do not fit in sometimes. Due to some things that I have done, some individuals might have distanced themselves from me. I don't blame them; it's just me. I do some bad things from time to time, but I hope all of you have the heart to forgive and forget.

Sigh, I guess that was a little dramatic of me, wasn't it? Seems like I'm looking for pity or something, but this is what's deep down in my heart and nobody can change that (except for the guy who lives across the street who has a brainwashing machine). You might understand a little bit more about me now, and in turn, I get to pour out what's in my heart for so long. Just to say, thank you all readers!
