About
Well, the first thing I would like to
say write is that I don't know why you would ever bother wasting your time reading about boring people like me. Now don't get me wrong, I don't have low self-esteem or anything; I like me but I am quite admitably boring.
Hmm, well I like music a lot. I generally listen to old rock and sometimes country (or classical when I'm feeling excentric). My favourite band would be The Beatles and my favourite singular artist is Johnny Cash.
Besides music, I like to read in my spare time. My customary habits consist of adventure novels, science fiction and fantasy, mysteries and detective stories (ones with Sherlock Holmes are best), biographies on interesting people, classic pieces of literature (including poems, plays, etc.).
I'm scrounging for material now.... Other things I enjoy doing are writing (the same as what I read: poems, plays, novels and short stories, etc.), drawing and other visually artistic pursuits, playing and composing music (though I'll openly admit that I'm no good at either), and thinking.
You're probably thinking that the latter is a very odd thing to put down as one's interests, and it probably is. None the less, I ponder hard and often and I quite enjoy it. Thinking of the little joys and sorrows of the world, making connections between them; it's more invigorating then you might initially think it is.
Anyway, that's a pretty accurate picture of my character and I really can't think of anymore I could put or care to.
