Coming Down Easy

[Fate]

And how Fate came from a moment in a Chatroom, and now it's hung on to this point.

It did have a slightly bigger meaning than that, since Fate has to do with the inevitable future that I constantly try to defy/look to instead of the present. But yeah, I wanted to have my own little deity name as well XD.

What's your worst quality?
I find that I'm far too harsh on myself and can list a bunch of different things. My procrastination tendencies are definitely up there along with my Elitism and critical nature; I'm a very critical person and I have become rather blunt. If I have truth that I have to tell you, I'm going to tell you bluntly and honestly. I hate sugarcoating things and I have very little tact most of the time unless I choose otherwise.

About procrastination: I've got this down to a science. I will wait until the last minute to do things and I make mental notes of how long it will take me to do my papers/homework/whatever. Therefore, I figure out that if I leave myself a certain amount of time, then I can leave off my work until just that moment. I'm going to try and conquer it this weekend and do my Shakespeare mapping sheet while I'm at my grandmother's house; we'll see how this goes.

What scares you? True, gripping fear. Not that namby pamby "worrisome" stuff.
Ultimately, it's a loss of control for me. I am a control freak and like to have control of everything I possibly can. Unfortunately, about three years ago, irony decided to pay me a visit and gave me a neurologicial issue that causes my own body to be out of my control. It has been frightening living with it and I'm not too thrilled that there's not that much I can do.

But yes, I fear losing control.

What is your heart?
An organ with far too many parts that I did not memorize in Anatomy and Physiology that is responsible for keeping us alive.

Did I ever mention that I have a gift/curse of sarcasm?

This is rather deep question that I'm not sure I can answer all of the way. My heart is full of my experiences, one could say. I've been alive for more than nineteen and a half years, a lot of it spent alone. It's one of the reasons I am how I am: somewhat self-reliant, distrusting, and I've learned to stand strong despite my surroundings. My heart is full of hurt from past events, but it is also full of inner strength and compassion that I have yet to touch.

What is your favorite music? What videogames do you play? Etc.
Hehe... That's a tough question for a music enthusiast. I like to give everything a whirl, though my favorite genre will probably always be symphonic mental with my favorite band being Within Temptation. My roots go back to blues and rock with Eric Clapton, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and maybe some Led Zeppelin too; my dad will always be a rock and roller. Nowadays, I listen to almost everything, including the genre of trip-hop-- Massive Attack is great.

If I named all ofthe bands that I liked, it would take up far too much space; if you're curious about all the bands I listen to, since I'm sure I have at least one band in common with everyone, check out my last.fm.

As for video games, I sadly do not have the time to play them like I did before. I loved Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (along with the first one), Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and a few more I can't be bothered to remember. I like RPGs, but I'm willing to try just about anything out.

*ahem* Well, it's over. None of you won the contest.

The Kingdom has come,
And I have fingers, son.
Surely, they'll take me away,
But I can weave you a tale
Before their arrival, they say.

It starts long ago,
In a place you can't imagine.
Not that you can't envision,
But that you can't feel action.

Because the place
Was not a place at all.
It was a grain of sand encased in glass.
A moment in time and time has passed.

And that's where I started,
But don't be disheartened.
You aren't alien,
that's where we all begin, "Jakarta?"

No not Jakarta, somewhere more real.
A place you have been; a place that you feel.
And from there we take our steps, just as I did
You'll do the same, I assure, I assure you kid.

So there you'll start running,
A regular kid, full of vigor and shunning
The laws of conventional living.
The world will ask, and you will keep on giving.

And you won't slow down any time soon.
In fact you'll start going faster.
Your feet will pound down, and you'll grow
So high, so above you'll look at yourself and realize you passed her.

By then, your eyes will scan to your feet,
Wondering "why so fast, and faster still?"
There is no reason, but to escape defeat,
To rise beyond the next hill.

So you'll look off in the distance for the end of the road,
And you'll tire and sink, you'll slow and gasp.
You won't see it, and for the first time you'll doubt what you know.
You can give up there, and find another road to run down endlessly-
But that path, like all others, will continue, and you won't last.

Or, you can make the ultimate realization.
You can formsuch an intellectual revelation,
Like you've never known before.
To run is not to go, the end is not the road.

Well boy, here they are.
They stormed down the street, through the door,
You know them well enough, but not what they're for.
An eye is just an eye, but a heart, is a heart.

There was a contest?

[Draconas]

We were supposed to win something? Hmm, odd.
