Excerpt from the brown diary

Page 122,

Subject: About me in 10 minutes
17 June,

Well, I guess I should start with the usual cliché of how I'm so brilliant It'd be impossible to enter a small summary, but I can summon my life up in a few sentences if needed.

Those sentences would be;
I'm a synesthete and very energetic. I'm unique, outgoing, friendly, easy, and fun. I never think twice when it comes to helping another person. I m a tad-bit stoic. I have many interests, but enjoying life is at the top of the list. I think most people read me as being quiet, unassuming, and generally easy-going, which is certainly true, but I'm definitely more outgoing around close friends. I sometimes worry that people take me too seriously, because I have a tendency to become playfully contentious over silly topics just for fun (think Seinfeld). Sarcasm is fun, but I'm way too much of a softy to ever say anything mean.
Well, not so much a sentence as a mindless word, but I guess that best sums up how everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in the world I'd react to. I'm seriously de-sensitized but I'm sensitive. Yes, I'm an oxymoron, WITH the oxy. In fact, 4 times the bloody oxy...
With rare exception, I would say that I'm above average in maturity for my age--or at least good at pretending to be. I'm also quite introspective and self-aware, but that doesn't seem to help me much in describing myself to others.
Anyways....I'm not a fan of high fashion... on me. I'm a jeans-and-a-t-shirt kind of guy. I am low-maintenance.

I'm good at-
Laughing, Dancing, Finding humor in everyday life, Memorizing lines, Amusing myself, Sleeping, Breathing, Blinking, Listening to people, Acting, Keeping a level head, Seeing the glass as half full

I enjoy being sarcastic and teasing my friends, as they do me. I like being around people and being loud and obnoxious. I tend to feed off other people's energy and mirror their personalities. Not that i don't have a personality of my own, that's just the way I am. I like going out, but I'd generally prefer staying at home with my close friends than spending a fortune at a restaurant or plex. I'm messy and clean at the same time. I'm usually late but hate tardy people. dumb-heads freak me out... until i get to know them. I don't find scrawny people as attractive as 'fuller' people. I love making new friends and new social situations excite me. I enjoy getting to know strangers and exchanging life stories.Seriously, I can make friends with just about anyone as long as that person is willing to let me. This usually leaves me with the sensation that I have a lot of mediocre relationships. Though I like this virtue of mine, I'm going try and focus my energy into fewer people.

I'm also excellent at procrastination. Things tend to work out well enough that I have no need to change this... but I have no idea what to do to change it. I work well under pressure even though I rather not to.

I'm also really good at staying optimistic... almost to the point that it's annoying. I can usually find the good in anything and anyone. Pessimists exhaust me.

I spend a lot of time thinking about:Your mom. Ha, another funny.

Actually, the future. I feel like I am where I need to be, doing exactly what i need to be doing... But this won't be forever. I think about what the future will bring... I think/worry about the effects of: global warming, our insatiable hunger for oil and wonder when alternative fuels are going to change our lives. I think about the effects of my poor eating habits and lack of activity.
Questions on my mind: Are the Mayans right in their prediction of the end of the world in 2012? Am I in the correct job? How much more dependent on technology will we become? And many more
It's kind of exhausting, so I tend to keep these thoughts to myself... unless someone else brings them up. And even then I don't elaborate much.

Oh, btw, not finished with this and probably never will...not certainly within 10 minutes..


P.S: This above piece of excerpt is about the protagonist from a fiction, a fiction which I call a "Brown Diary". This is a live fiction and I would try to keep the story going on as much as possible....
P.P.S: This is a work of fiction, any resemblance to people, places or incidence is purely coincidental.
