Hello, young and perhaps-not-quite-so-very-young. I, due to the great wonders that cyber-stalkers can perform on one's daily life, do not plan to release my true identity. My gmail identity says that I am Sebastian Corlath; to borrow from an "earworm," "That's not my name." I have the great fun of being someone who lives in Stockton and actually has higher than a sixth grade vocabulary. This is a rare occurance in this lovely city, especially among my demographic, and nearly automatically ostracizes me from many among my generation.
I am an obsessive person; that's not a comment about my mental health, but merely about the fact that I can almost never stand being "sorta-into" something, be it music, genres, people, or alternate dimensions of peanut-butter.
Right now, some of my obsessions are:
Steampunk, Doctor Who, Vlogbrothers, Central-European Gypsy/Klezmer Rock, playing Hauntingly minor waltzes om my Ukulele, watching Macgyver, West Wing reruns, Leverage, or Chuck, the work of Neil Gaiman, the thought-echoing music of Andrew Bird, writing a manga/comic with my peep-in-crime Natalia, Mythology, parquor, Kaki King, Mork and Mindy, Electron Microscopy, Scottish Actors, ShakespearE, X-men, Daytrotter.com, and my Inability to kiss my elbow. Not that I'd generally want to, I just that the fact that I can't frustrates me.
I'm not the most good-looking guy, especially by today's standards; for some reason, I've never been able to achieve the anorexic fe-man (finding what my female friends say is nice clothing is also fairly impossible when you have extra-large shoulders, a medium waist, and no abs to speak of). My Greek genes have made facial hair growth at near-freakish speeds a normal thing - five a clock shadow? Please. It's eleven... - and I look like my Dad's not-so-mini me.
I'm addicted to music, and am only rarely without Uke, guitar, or I-pod. That's when I sing from my mental functions' sheer desperation.
Anyway, that's my Polaroid (wait, they phased out film, so that doesn't work... Gosh, that makes me feel old)... I hope I remember to post more stuff in the future.

ReplyDeleteIndeed. This sad fact is one of the many reasons why I moved away from that urban armpit.
I'm not into Dr. Who but I am currently working my way through its spin-off Torchwood, which also ranks pretty high on the "bizarre" scale, IMHO. Fun stuff. ;)
