More often than not I find that I have nothing to say, which is why even
typing 150 words about myself is an arduous task. I feel the pressure to create
a likable persona, but as this profile of me will likely reveal, I’m dreadfully lazy and
don’t have the energy to exert myself in an attempt to seem more mysterious or
intelligent or whatever quality I’m meant to portray here.
To start off, my name is Amaris Wade and I love food more
than I love people. My religion is coffee. I believe in coffee for everyone. I
don’t know how to properly transition into a description of myself, so here’s a
list of things that I don’t like.
I don’t like it when it’s sunny. I wish they sky were gray and
overcast all the time. Not because I’m a mopey teenager (well, maybe I am, but
that's beside the point), but because I think people are more introspective when
it’s raining or cloudy or nighttime and they lose that honesty and openness by
day. I don’t like lavender-scented anything. I don’t
like political correctness or when people tailor what they say to sound a
certain way to others. I don’t like people who don’t like to learn. I don’t
like people who make assumptions. Essentially, I don’t like a lot of typical high
school students. But don’t interpret that as standoffishness. I really am very
nice, honest.
The list of things I like might be infinitesimally shorter,
but I’ll try to flesh it out as much as possible. I like it when nobody’s home
and I have no place to be and nothing to do because that’s when I feel
most free. I like it when somebody makes extra coffee for me ahead of time
because they know I’ll end up wanting it. I like it when books say exactly what
I was thinking but never knew quite how to express. I like it
when two people can be together and let natural silence take its course and not
try to fill it up with unnecessary words. Of all the things I consider “sacred,”
if that’s even the right word to use, silence would have to be the most crucial
to me. I like having breakfast for dinner. I like zombies and video games and
all things morbid and shocking and gruesome. I like observing the way humans
subconsciously defend themselves against their impending mortality and how that
manifests itself in their behavior. Most of all, I like vocabulary and words, although I have an unwieldy command of them at best.
I have a lot of websites that I visit on a daily basis, but
my favorite by far is Tumblr because it is populated primarily by the unapologetically
strange and quirky.
I don’t have any pictures of myself, but instead I have this
song which is gorgeous and lovely and everybody should listen to it at least
once and be enlightened.
You are a Tim Burton character I think.
