I just realised that despite having this dA account for a couple of years now I havent said anything about who I am. Ive just expected people to guess or already know me, neither of which are particularly easy to do. But better late than never I guess;
My name is Laurie D. Cook and I live inside your comp-u-tor, at least for all intensive purposes I do since were probably never going to meet each other. This isnt going well is it? Ill do it in bullet point form; I can handle that with more ease.
Facts about me;
I am from En-ger-land
I am 21 years old
I write things down and hope people will enjoy them, even if it is with a smirking sense of irony at how crap it all is. (that was self-deprecation in the hope of endearing myself to you)
I am doing a degree in chemistry
Im gay
Im an atheist
I dont like spiders
In political terms Im a democratic socialist (read left wing hippy/over-optimist)
Im not a hippy/over-optimist
I play guitar, violin and video games
Top 5 bands manic street preachers, bright eyes, Belle and Sebastian, Bob Dylan and the clash
Top 5 authors George Orwell, Haruki Murakami, Kurt Vonnegut, Albert Camus and JG Ballard
Top 5 films Amelie, fight club, the great dictator, reservoir dogs and the godfather
I live in Hull at the moment where Im doing a year in industry as part of my uni course
I have a brother and a sister
I have OCD about the number 147
I still have to lie when people ask me what it is I want to do with my life
I would like to write a book though
And finish learning Japanese
I stopped taking my anti-depressants a little over a year ago and Im still not sure if that was a good idea (this is where I actually start to enjoy the relative anonymity of the internet since apart from my doctor nobody else knows that I took them)
I cant stand the sound of slamming doors
I hitchhike places even though I own a car just so that I can improvise characters in real time to the people giving me lifts
I hate the taste of all alcoholic drinks apart from cointreau and pernod
I smoke lucky strike original red cigarettes and have no intention of quitting
I cant do math
I havent self harmed for almost 2 months now and I feel a little proud of this
I am indie rock (though this lost all meaning now hasnt it? When a genre is supposedly able to accommodate bands with as diverse a sound, statement and style as Belle and Sebastian, pavement, the flaming lips and the pigeon detectives then it has to e assume d that an attempt to consolidate into the mainstream has created a diluted and muted form that is more dependent on differences based on trouser shape and hairstyle)
I have a lip ring (lower left)
I think that the UK should break off diplomatic relations with Qatar until they put a U into their name.
I dont like a single song or story that Ive posted here
I consider cheese with blue veins in it to be fucking awesome
So there you go world, that was 20 years of living distilled into 30 bullet points. I like to think that weve both learned a little bit from this havent we? Probably not, but I like to think we have.
So now its your turn, tell me a little bit about yourself. Dont answer all the same questions though memes like that are hideously impersonal.
