Okay, so I'm updating this because Tara says my bio is boring--wait a minute, I'm always boring! I'll just stick that "Meh" back in here.

Nah, Tara would hit me if I did that.

I'm... twenty... something. For some reason, it always takes me a while to remember my age. Twenty three at the time of this writing. I'm in a weird position where I'm fresh out of post-secondary school and I've no clue what the hells I'm gonna do with my life. Currently looking for a job to replace the part-time one I've had since the start of my university adventure.

I love art in all of its form (music, literature, pretty pictures), but, unfortunately, am apparently doomed to be never able to actually create anything. Which is a shame because every one in a while I get these ideas in my head but they can never come out and instead end up rotted and smelling funny. Thankfully ideas are smell-less.

I love food. All kinds and I will generally eat anything with very few exceptions. Eggplants, for one... And I can't think of any others but there are others--of, most fish taste bland and boring to me. The universe is cruel, however, because despite my constant hunger for food, I seem to have a weak stomach. Maybe I should see a doctor about it. Get me a stomach transplant.

I used to be really into video games but from the looks of it I've apparently "matured" from that little hobby as I'm finding that they aren't able to keep my interest for quite so long. I still play some games but I no longer binge like I used to. This is also a bad thing because it leaves me with little to do (i.e., why I'm spending so much time writing out this bio). It seems lately I'm only able to find interest in the games-as-art kind of thing.

My three favourite colours are purple, green, and black. Not necessarily in that order but purple is my favourite with the other two stuck in a bit of a tie. Considering those colours, it's a surprise I never ended up in the goth or emo crowd and/or circles. Actually, it's not surprising considering how socially inept lazy I am.

I'm a quarter Chinese, the other three being Indonesian and I was born in Jakarta. I care little for my geographical/racial heritage however--love the food though. Often times, I forget that I'm Asian until I look into a mirror. As far as I care, Indonesia is a place where I'm not. Despite my own apathy towards my own genealogical identity, I'm fascinated by how genealogy--race--comes into play in societies, cultures, and every day life--racism both disgusts and fascinates me. Ironically enough, despite my interest in anthropology, I did pretty badly in a fair number of my anthropology classes in university.

I majored in English and Anthropology and, officially, my Honours of Bachelors of Arts is in English. I consistently enjoyed studying English literature. But, unfortunately--always with all of the unfortunate things in my life--I was never motivated enough to do anything/enough that would guarantee a career in English academia. Frankly, an academic career scares me. It scares me because I'm worried I would end up bored or quickly running out of steam and ideas. My hobbies don't have a tendency to last for very long.

My dream job/occupation is to be the winner and recipient of a multi-million dollar lottery. Too bad there's no course, program, or degree to take for that.

I like anime but generally prefer the silly, comedic stuff. I find that anime that doesn't specifically focus on comedy/humour tends to inconsistently inject humour into themselves which ruins the main tone of whatever the series is. Thinking about Neon Genesis Evangelion, though I was a fan of it and think it a great creative piece of work, put me off sad/depressing/not-happy anime. I also hate anime that takes a sudden serious turn and breaks its seemingly consistently light-hearted tone.

I used to be a webcomic fiend. My bookmarks used to be filled with them. I even had my own, for... some length of time that I can't remember now. I deleted all trace of it (along with all the art associated with it) from the internet for some reason which I can't remember now. I've got a bad habit of not remembering things from the looks of it. With my recent lose of interest in video games, I've become interested in webcomics again. I mostly prefer webcomics with a unique art style or a consistently good story. If i can find a webcomic that has both, score.

My taste in music is weird. I generally don't care much for songs with lyrics in them because I apparently have horrible ears and can barely understand lyrics sung along to music. Instead, I prefer lyric-less music and the majority of my MP3 playlist is either from OC Remix or video game sound tracks. I mostly prefer rock-ish, techno-like music.

Anyhow. This looks like this might be getting ridiculously long so I'll stop here. Date and time is: Thursday, Fourth of September, 2008, 1:33 AM.

1:35 AM Sunday, 28th of September, 2008. A few days ago I created Inky_Text, a repository of selected literary works by me. I'm hoping its mere presence and existence will motivate me to focus on my writing.
