This is my Profile. There are many like it but this one is mine.
You want to know about me? Okay, here we go.
I find myself to be difficult to single out. While I dress in a somewhat-gothic style, I listen to old rock and power metal. I love to play games and also enjoy being outside with people. I adore reading and writing but at times want to just sit down and watch a movie. I love sci-fi but my heart has, and will, always belong to fantasy. I tend to be a good person but I am not shy about my myriad hatreds. I'm not big on guns but gunslingers are my heroes.
I enjoy the concept of casual sex and being single but at heart I'm a romantic who's looking for the woman to spend the rest of my days with. I hate being judged at a glance but yet do it myself at times. I am a caring listener who's always there for people, but at times I won't shut up and won't give a damn. I play World of Warcraft but also have a social life, friends and plenty of other interests.
I am a pacifist who would revel in the heat of battle and awaits revolution. I have a somewhat chaotic nature that shuns being neat and organised, but in my own way, have an order to things. I hate the decline of civilisation and culture, despite being a part of the problem myself. I can be an angry old man or an exciteable puppy. Sublime in my imperfection, I'm secure with my insecurities. Cynical, sincere, sarcastic and solemn, I am a creature of mood and the only certainty of things to come is uncertainty itself.
I am a one in several million occurance to be a part of one in six billion infesting this glorious world of ours; special and unique just like everyone else. I am an ever-fluctuating chaotic mess of hypocrisy, contradiction and constantly shifting emotion.
And to me, those four paragraphs can be summed up in a singular, solitary sentence that means so much more than words could describe, simplicity belying the truth. My name is Mike, and I am human; just like you.
I'm a moderator on the cult Alternative-Perth which is open to all Perth-folk who want a nice new cult to talk on.
Likes
I like a lot, you know? So hard to put it all down here. Depends on my moods. I like to hang out with friends, listen to music, watch movies, write, read, play the occasional game or go out and meet new people.
With music, I like old/classic rock, progressive rock, heavy metal, power metal, progressive metal, gothic rock and individual songs from a wide range of genres.
I tend to write fantasy or science-fiction, and have been doing so for nearly ten years now; ranging from scribblings at school, to novellist aspirations. I post my Deviant Art Link whenever possible; which amuses my friends a lot. They call me a dirty whore. I may be a lot of things but I am not a whore. Not all the time. Only on tuesdays.
That being said; I absolutely love fantasy and science fiction, as well as supernatural and occult fiction, and love it even more when they stick to the real-world lore on pre-established species such as vampires. I don't write for vampires, werewolves or that kind of thing too often though.
Dislikes
My dislikes...I don't like mainstream culture or those who mistreat people who aren't a part of it. I hate the way society discriminates against intelligence and alternative lifestyle choices. I utterly despise the "shun the individual" mentality forced into children in western culture. And there's probably a lot more but I don't want to rant here. Fuck it, I will rant.
I absolutely, positively have a hate-on for people who utterly fail at English, who don't have an excuse for it. It's okay if it's not your first language or you have a mental health disorder, but if you can only speak English and your typing comes out like a retarded monkey, it makes you look like an utter fucktard and annoys the people around you who do have the basic brainmeats to remember what they were taught in their first or second year of school.
At the moment I'm in the fight against the Australian Net Filter; protesting and spreading the word against it. The Net Filter is aiming at blocking gay and lesbian content, adult content, and anything the Australian government morally, philosophically or politically opposes. A possible first step on the path to Australian Fascism, methinks.
