Because I am an inconsiderate bastard.

I haven't been around for a couple days, mainly because I've been dysphoric & trying to find other ways of entertaining myself other than wasting away on the internet. But evidently I'm back to that, so I might as well make it worthwhile! Anyway, onto the point of this post:

I'm curious as to everyone's favourite music, movies, books, tv shows, artists, & so on. While some people on this forum are already otherwise acquainted, some of us aren't & I figure it's an interesting way to spark conversation!

On top of the superficial reason for this question, I have to admit there are ulterior motives. Entertainment art is something that evokes emotion or passion in most people who enjoy it... It IS a form of expression, after all. So I suppose it's kind of a social experiment for me, in a way. Observe similarities, differences, patterns, or a lack thereof.

I suppose I'll start with none other than myself! I'm lazy, so I'm copying from my facebook.

Hahahah Mike, I've honestly never seen it!! But I made the mistake of laughing out loud at your comment & now it's being downloaded for me. :P
And I appreciate the correction on Paradise Lost & Dante's Inferno/Divine Comedy... I just lump poetry in with fiction. Inaccurate but meh.

Shanz: I figured that some of us might have had some time to waste, so this would be something interesting! And DAMNIT. I didn't even list any classical music-- not that my list wasn't ball numbingly long anyway.

Overall, everyone has good taste. The only thing I don't really like is Kelly's hardcore/screamo music. But to each their own. White Chapel has some great lyrics

[argv]

I like death metal, grindcore.. Cannibal corpse, deadbolt, slayer, cradle of filth, mindless self indulgence, etc..

I don't watch televison.

I don't read alot. if I do, I'm trying to learn something so I usually read instructional books and ****.

I play music in my spare time. Or paint pictures.

I like horror movies. I like quentin
Terrantino (sp?). I don't watch movies quite as much. I think I've already watched the good ones a few times. I like
Old westerns sometimes. Depends on the mood.

I'm also not clinically diagnosed with ASPD, just hanging out in here. I was officially diagnosed with bipolar, but I Don't tell my therapist all my dirty little secrets. Haha

Hahaha yeah, I think we got your story in the other thread dear... I'm not clinically diagnosed either. But... Who really WANTS to be clinically diagnosed anyway?

Good taste in music, by the way. And books. That reason alone is why I have a hard time with fiction... But I like the imagery or historical significance of some pieces.

[argv]

yeah I don't care to be diagnosed as a sociopath. Then it's like "okay.. What now?".

Just out of blatent useless curiosity, about which area of the planet do you live?

Other interesting questions:

If you could, would you wipe the planet clean of all but a few people perhaps?

If you drop something or so something clumsy, do you laugh and/or get embarrased, or get pissed at the object in question as if it was the objects' fault?

Do people think you are a really charming and outgoing person, and you know it, but don't give a **** because you know how to 'turn on the charm?'

Do you ever cry? Even just to feel sorry for yourself or because you can't feel anything and crying makes you feel human?

Sometimes I stare at people just because I know it makes them uncomfortable. Ever do that?

Are you ever somewhere in public and see someone you know and go from blank or angry face to warm, welcoming, friendly and outgoing person to the point where you're sure you just threw everyone around you off. Haha

Do you ever find yourself extremely judgemental of everyone, even your friends and family?

Just some random questions cause I'm stuck at work and bored as hell.

Puerto Rico, but it's temporary.
I'd love to breed out stupidity, but that presents problems in & of itself. I'm ****ing brilliant, but who's to say I wouldn't struggle in a world full of top notch intellects? I wouldn't risk that. Stupid people make nice fodder so I continue to succeed in my endeavours.
I'm naturally clumsy due to nerve problems & poor depth perception... I'm too used to it to lose any pride & react angrily as a result. However, if I injure myself as a result, I tend to act out! :P
Personally, I don't actually consider myself charming at all! I mean, I *could* be if I needed to, but for some ****ed up reason, I've had incredible luck with people. For some reason I tend to be liked without the need for a front. I think they take my blunt honesty & cruel comments as humorously as I do! Hahahah. But even humour aside-- I'm not particularly attractive or feminine or even the least bit flirtatious, yet I've never struggled to, er, have my needs met!
If my anger or anxiety get too high, I cry. Sometimes my intense physical pain causes me to cry. But nothing other than that, if I'm not mistaken.
Meh, I usually don't get so bored that I feel the need to test people's reactions... But on occasion, of course. It's indirectly entertaining.
YES! It's ****ing hilarious.
My being judgemental of everyone else's poor decisions is probably one of the main issues I have with anyone I've been relatively close to. But I try not to take it too far, as I am very openly unorthodox & I hate to bother with the closemindedness of others... I'm quite openminded on most things, so it takes genuine stupidity to give me reason to tear someone down in that way.

Stupid people are killing the planet. I'd love to keep only the top intellects and maybe some crazy ****ers, and do away with the rest. But that's just me and my hopes when I achieve world domination.

I'm charming as ****. I'm the guy that comes in the room and fills it up with my ego, but not in a bad way. In fact I treat everyone with the utmost respect and often put others above me. I talk to pretty much anyone and everyone, especially the big wigs whom I hope will give him a better position and a wage increase. I don't kiss ***, I just do good work and be buddies with them. I treat them like I would treat any friend, I say "Wazzzzup??!?!?!" and call them "gangster" and stuff and such. Even the old guy, I say "What up, Ted??" hahaha Totally friends with everyone, except a couple people, like my ex boss whom I don't even talk to.

YES! It's ****ing hilarious.

I constantly **** with people when I'm bored. That's my entertainment. I cry once in a while, sometimes just feel like I need to, or just to feel human. Or out of frustration, or anger, or rage.. my 3 most favorite feelings.

I find myself constantly judgemental and even hypocritical. But, I get judged my fair share, so why not spread it around? It's only fair!

I've been thinking of moving to Washington. I have a couple of states on my hit list & possibly the Toronto area of Canada... How is it up there, job-seeking wise?
Yeah, stupid people are killing the planet, but it's not like we are being expected to save the planet... ****, we're only going to be around for a limited amount of time anyway. We don't have to see how it pans out for everyone else. :P
Have fun dominating the world though. Make sure to save me a seat on your council of torturing the incompetent... Sounds fun & will look nice on a resume!
Frustration, anger, & rage are fun sometimes. However I think that deeming them as favourites is impractical. Is it really that enjoyable to be continually presented with things that piss you off? I'm a fan of contentment with just enough insanity to keep me from gouging my eyes out from boredom. But that's a personal decision.
HAHAHA I suppose that's a good way to look at it!! I don't have a problem accepting my own hypocritical features, but I am disgusted by seeing it in others. At least have some shame & ****ing hide it, lol...

Which brings me to an interesting question, open to anyone, not just you argv:
Do you have a problem with someone if they act similarly to you? Like if someone else is a narcissistic asshole, a judgemental prick, manipulative or otherwise presents aspects of our similar nature? I have a VERY hard time dealing with anyone like that & tend to butt heads until I either win or get my revenge... I simply can't ignore someone like that.

As far as jobs... Not a whole lot. Seattle might have some, depending on what you do.

People are worthless vermin, killing the planet for greed. I'm not greedy, I live a very simple life. I have few posessions and I live in a basement of a friends' house.

Eh.. I don't mind okayness. I was being a tad sarcastic. While I enjoy my ability to rip apart anyone (but usually it's people close to me) anger and rage are dangerous tools of the trade. I never know where my anger will lead me, and I'm honestly afraid of it. Ok. I'm afraid of prison.

In answer to your question, absolutely. I DO NOT get along with anyone like me. I am the leader of my group of friends, and I'll be damned if some puke is going to run ****. But people like me because I am confident, laugh easily, and easy going. But then again, I don't really care. Lots of people out there and I can make friends with anyone. If they want some retard to lead them, so be it. No one can match my personality!! Haha

It's either that, or we become best friends and partners in crime, so to speak.

I will save all my nutcase friends a seat when I rule the world. I'm only gonna torture people that deserve it. Douchebags and frat boys are ****ed. I'll keep most of the females (hehehe) and none of the idiot guys. Nerds are safe, cause I'm a bit of a nerd kinda. Plus.. They're useful.

Pfffft, come on, don't be a douche!! Just keep a small harem of rotation *****s, but PLEASE eliminate the majority of them. Just as a personal favour? Just keep them all in either an alternate dimension or some spooky dungeon with all the works. (Source: Hostel) *shines up my halo*

I can do that. Ehehehe I'm not into torture unless there is a good reason or it's someone that has pissed me off. Then I'll be ****ing ruthless. Damn. I need to get to work on this taking over the world thing.

Seriously. Do one of those new age "vision boards" & get this ball rolling. XDDD

I'm feeling really confused lately. I don't know the depth to which my own mind has ****ed itself. At this point, I'm deciding I'm just going to keep pretending like everything is cool, but it's not like I can really fake happiness. Then I'm back to my old way of mechanical living. Feeling like life is on rails. Maybe I'm depressed, or maybe I'm driving myself nuts.

Not that I need any help with that.

but... ugh. ****. ****. I dunno. i'm feeling another 3 days without sleep coming on shortly. But, I forgot to take medicines today, so hopefully in about 20 minutes everything will calm down again.

[Contrast]

MUSIC:
Dubstep, trance, electro, Drum 'n' bass and other songs that give off a vigorous vibe. One song I do like is "Yonkers" by Tyler the Creator.

Don´t hate :P

Hahaha no hate here!! I just lived with a bunch of annoying teenagers who listened to that who would ask me retarded questions like "Who is Pantera? Who is Slayer?" & I seriously just wanted to die. XD
