June "Type Me" Thread

• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?

Repeating myself here, but yes I believe I'm coordinated; during my goalkeeping years I pretty much relied on. But when it comes to work, I've never been too much a fan of working with my hands. I will do it if I have to, i.e putting together a desk or building a computer, but in general, I get quite bored fast; mainly because they're processes which have no deviance, nor innovation of any kind. I enjoy playing guitar and drums on random surfaces, which I guess can be said to be hands on. Another random thing that I do enjoy doing to an oddly high extent is polishing jewellery and shoes. Theres that, lol.

• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.

I've always been a big fan of music; both the listening and creation. I'm not really great with lyrics and song writing though; I don't really even pay attention to them in songs. I'm much more a fan of the instrumental aspects of songs. I also enjoy some classical music, and scores of movies are always quite good, particularly because I can relate the pieces to individual scenes and themes within the movies themselves.

• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?

I believe that the past should be studied such that we can continue to learn more about the nature of things. I myself don't focus too much on the past, though I do have quite a detailed memory about my own past experiences. Not names though, my memory is horrible with them. With the present, I believe that's where one should spend most of their time, and I try to live by that; it's just incredibly enjoyable to think about the past, future or even alternate timelines. The future for me, when not anxious, is just a blank board where I see things that can come to fruition; it can be just very hard choosing, and even more so realising that I have the freedom to pursue my ideas.

• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?

I really need to write an essay due in 6 hours, so Imma speed up. If the person that requested help is one that I care about, I will likely commit to helping them and see the task through. If the person is asking something of me, and I notice that it is self-serving request, then I likely won't help. By self serving, I mean that it's a task that see's either myself or other people unfairly treated for their benefit.

• Do you need logical consistency in your life?

To some extent, yes. If by logically consistent, you mean how my room is organised, or how my time is scheduled, then absolutely not. I like having the ability to choose on the go.

• How important is efficiency and productivity to you?

If I'm doing a task such a washing the dishes, cleaning the house, or any task that can be said to be repetitive in nature, I will eventually start thinking how that I can change the way that I'm doing things to maximise efficiency; but thats more because I'm getting bored and want to see how I get it done faster. If the task is complex is nature, i.e not swinging a mop back and forth on floor boards, I will take as much time as I need to wrap my head around the concept. Once I have a complete understanding, then I may start focusing on speeding up the process, but only after I know exactly how everything works.

• Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?

I've always been quite a good actor. So depending on the person or group I'm with, I slightly change my behaviour such that I get along with the group better. I guess this could be said to be controlling their perception of me? Then again, ones perception can't be completely controlled. Otherwise, I don't think I control people; I really hate being controlled, so I dislike the idea of controlling someone for my benefit. Then again, I'm not exactly the best person to observe myself on this matter.

• What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?

Playing/listening to music, competitive sport, social drinking, partying, comedy, reading about random topics online, science, gaming and a few other random things like the watching how triggered people get when you say you enjoyed S8 of GOT. I've already talked about music; competitive sport is good because, 1. I enjoy winning, and 2. Having comradery with team mates is a great feeling. Social drinking and partying is pretty much self-explanatory, who doesn't enjoy getting jolly and dancing with mates? Reading, comedy and science are just a result of my curiosity I believe, and gaming is just damn straight stimulating.
