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.

What feels like a thousand years later, I find myself missing you deeply old friend. I hope we reconnect one day when I move back home.
