Basic Info BioWelcome to my journal. Basically, this is is my an outlet for ramblings and recording the usual day-to-day shit from embarassing stories, mindless anecdotes and funny encounters. If you happen to enjoy inane chatter about topics too insignifcant and trivial for normal conversation, please do add me as a friend.
On a psychological level, there's some potentially fascinating stuff going on here. Emphasis on the word 'potential'. I do have problems expressing my emotions on here. Basically I write as though I'm communicating with an acquaintance or a stranger. I don't believe that they way we write in a journal is necessarily indicative of the kind of person we are. The words are typed as they enter my head, so you will either consider me to be wise or vague. Most opinions select the latter. You won't read the "nobody understands me", or "i'm all alone" entries that plague so many journals.
I am a good friend. I proudly list loyalty as my finest trait. I believe a good friend is honest, reachable, a listener and objective. Sounds cliched, but it's important to me. Punctuality helps too. Don't leave your friend out in the rain waiting. Too many friends in the past have abused my trust and hurt me so I've made an effort to ensure that I do have that sincere network of friendship, fun and trust in my life. Hell, I'm a bitch myself. We're all allowed to be self-obsessed (I represent the epitome of that that at times) but there is a fine line. I do have a fantastic lot of friends who value me for my personality and the things I offer (my ears, my opinions, my sincerity, my fucked up stories) but I often come across as a bitch to those who don't possess those traits. I do love making new friends though.
That paragraph made me sound like a fuckstick. I'm not. I'm a good guy with a good heart. I'm not confused or unsure of myself - but my opinions change each day. I love watching smart foreign films that challenge my train of thought - but then I'll watch a movie like White Chicks or My Boss's Daughter and laugh my ass off at stereotypes. Everything gets made a parody of these days and I love it. I don't like people who protest over movies. I love bad commercials also. I'll read a good book - and then I'll read the photo captions in NW magazine and consider that literature. I am a hypocrite - but not a bad one. I'll do something bad, feel bad about it - but then laugh it off. I believe we should live without regret in our lives.
I'm 21 years old, although I look like I'm more around the age of 18 and 19. I've been cursed by youth my whole life. A current issue I'm trying to face is the whole growing-up scene. So many of my friends, post-uni, are settling down, focusing on careers, falling head over heels, and spending less time out and more time in. I believe that youth is something that needs to be savoured, especially at the age of 21 for chrissakes. I'm holding onto this sense of adventure. My uni days were the most wild days of my life, same with my friends, it seems as though most are moving on. I just want to have fun. I think that love and work come later. I'm working in PR and now I know that's I want to do (at least for now anyway) - but that stupid corporate ladder thing will always be there. Why wear myself out climbing it at this age?
I love the nightlife and nothing pleases me more than getting drunk with friends at a feral estab on a weekend before hitting the clubs. I enjoy meeting people and having conversations with strangers, travellers, freaks, cute boys, hot chicks, ravers, couples, and other fun loving criminals. I dabble in drugs occasionally, but I've already gone through that rave-obsession stage in my life. My sexuality is a big part of my life, but it doesn't dominate it. I am attracted to both genders (although usually on a boy-to-girl ratio of 4:1) and I know I will find someone to share experiences with later. I'm not in a rush. The mistakes I've made in the past (which take hours to list) are moved on from. I believe a life with regret sucks, so I tend to confront my issues when they happen and move on. The things I do that depress me are often laughed at the next day. Life's too short. I live somewhere between mature and immature. I'm a young adult.
I'm hoping to make some interesting friends on LJ from all over the world! Even better if you share my interests or similarities. I love reading what other people have to say and chiming in with my two cents. I love it even more when others offer opinion, so please add me as a friend and I will add you back. Everyone is welcome, except for those people who write "I'm gonna kill myself" entries and express homicidal tendencies. I don't find mass genocide funny, unless it's in a movie. hehe. No really, all are welcome. You won't find any deep and poetic writings here - but you won't be reading total shit either, so do please add me.
Cheers,
Darby.
15 November - UPDATE - As of late my entries have mostly involved inane reminscing of several very trashbag outings. Yes, I've gone off the rails in terms of partying. But I'm not just a wild trashbag. I do have a brain in here somewhere. ;)
