We Are All Of Me

by ~WillKaede

I find myself to be difficult to single out. While I dress in a somewhat-gothic style, I listen to old rock and power metal. I love to play games and also enjoy being outside with people. I adore reading and writing but at times want to just sit down and watch a movie. I love sci-fi but my heart has, and will, always belong to fantasy. I tend to be a good person but I am not shy about my myriad hatreds. I'm not big on guns but gunslingers are my favourite characters.

I enjoy the concept of casual sex and being single but at heart I'm a romantic who's looking for the woman to spend the rest of my days with. I hate being judged at a glance but yet do it myself at times. I am a caring listener who's always there for people, but at times I won't shut up and won't give a damn. I play World of Warcraft but also have a social life, friends and plenty of other interests.

I am a pacifist who would revel in the heat of battle and awaits revolution. I have a somewhat chaotic nature that shuns being neat and organised, but in my own way, have an order to things. I hate the decline of civilisation and culture, despite being a part of the problem myself. I can be an angry old man or an exciteable puppy. Sublime in my imperfection, I am secure with my insecurities. Cynical, sincere, sarcastic and solemn, I am a creature of mood and the only certainty of things to come is uncertainty itself.


I am a one in several million occurance to be a part of one in six billion infesting this glorious world of ours; special and unique just like everyone else. I am an ever-fluctuating chaotic mess of hypocrisy, contradiction and constantly shifting emotion.

And to me, those four paragraphs can be summed up in a singular, solitary sentence that means so much more than words could describe, simplicity belying the truth. My name is Mike, and I am human; just like you.

I had this as an idea on the train today while coming back from Fremantle. This is now my VF profile's main wall of text.

While a bit specific to myself at times, I made this to illustrate the pointlessness in trying to label myself and others. We do it anyway, by judging from appearances and possibly a basic knowledge of the person.

Well put! The best part is that I saw a lot of myself in here, without feeling like you were writing about me, which proves your point exactly ^_^ We all have similarities, we all have differences.

Oh, and I LOVE your signature. Once Upon a Troubadour is one of my favourite songs.

Thank you very much. :3
It was originally written to be a social networking "about me" profile but I decided to put it here because I saw a lot of truth in it. It wouldn't take much editing to be about people in general. though. Thank you for the comment!

Totally! Everyone is unique but there is no one that is entirely different from everyone else. We've all got things in common with each other ^_^

Whether we realize it or not, we are all guilty of stereotyping, of "judging at a glance."

You sound a lot like my boyfriend, actually. He calls himself a "Gothic Redneck" or something like that. Nicely done with this piece, I enjoyed the contradictions, especially the bit about gunslingers. The only one I've ever really loved is Rowland, mostly from Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.

Great job!

I've not long finished the third Dark Tower book, funnily enough. And yeah, Roland is an awesome character, from the way he talks to the way he does things.

And I drafted this up on an hour-long train trip on my mobile when I got to thinking. I actually rock a bit of a gothic cowboy look myself. ^^

But I've actually taken to using this as social profiles, like on my vampirefreaks page. I might even add to it as time goes by.

Yeah, it works really well for that. It's a great little piece of a snippet of not only your thoughts, but those of others. I like it.
