Fuck da University, I miss having time for Tumblr.

I find that most attempts to concisely describe one's own personality end up failing to do so.
But I can say that I like cats, literature, and mind-altering substances.
That I don't like dishonesty, over-abbreviating, and America's lazyness
That for fun I like to dance in the streets, question everything, and appeal to my vices
& That above all I suck at reaching out to people but once someone tries to be my compatriot I am quite reciprocating
Some arbitrary likes: BBC's Sherlock, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Robots, Animal Collective, Siddhartha, TIm Burton, Disneyland, Jean Michel Basquiat, Ube Ice Cream, Nat Sherman's Fantasias, Poetry, Ghosts, Jack White
“you really let yourself go”
I was thinking about this figure of speech and decided that I hate it. To say that someone has let themselves go in the aims of suggesting they don’t look as physically fit or put together, is suggesting that beforehand they were constraining themselves. Is that a good thing? Should we all be avoiding the day someone says “you let yourself go”?
Because really, it sounds very freeing to let myself go. Am I gonna go live off of ice cream for the rest of my life and stop washing my hair? Nope. They are not congruous. But the fact that they’re portrayed in such a way is definitely interesting.
If ever someone encounters me, looks me up and down and goes “Man, you really let yourself go”, I will give them a wide-ass smile, bow, and say thank you.
