.........Some things about me................

.

  • I am a trained classical ballet dancer - although I had to stop due to injuries.
  • I am a total klutz who is always dropping things and tripping over.
  • I have an IQ of 142
  • I have a shocking memory and no common sense.

  • I always wanted to be a singer.
  • I cant hold a note.
  • I compose classical and neo-baroque symphonic music.
  • I have written a novel - I am trying to get it published this year.
  • My grand-daddy was an American GI - he died when I was five and I never met him.
  • At school I was a total overachiever - athletics, swimming, debating, public speaking and music - although my grades were only average.
  • I wasn't popular at school - but apparently I was very respected - go figure.
  • I'm a cat person.

  • I take the anti-depressant Zoloft - which retains water and increases fat retention - yay for me.
  • My favourite colour is blue.
  • I am afraid of the dark.
  • My most respected role model is my mother - the woman went through hell and back raising two kids on her own - she is strong, independent and possessed of an integrity and spirit that I worship.
  • I love documentaries and shows like Mythbusters, Time Warp etc.
  • David Attenborough rocks.
  • I am a HARD CORE Star Trek geek - ask me anything - it's embarrassing and fabulous all at once.

  • I love reading.
  • Sitting in the backyard watching the birds makes me smile.

  • When I was a young boy I wanted to be Wonder Woman and made myself a cardboard wonder woman suit - I was a confused kid.
  • Since my depression started I find myself crying very easily.
  • I love travelling First Class - I am a total 5 star luxury whore :)
  • I am a snob - but also a nice person.
  • I love reading blogs and discovering the intricacies of other people - people are fascinating.

What is your novel about?

Did any one thing trigger your depression?

Hey Sue.

My novel is a Star Trek novel. Im a huge trek fan and they always say you should write what you know about.

No one thing triggered my depression. It runs in my family tho. At the time I was having job probs and living probs so I guess that was all it needed to pop up and say hello.

Wow - thats cool... I have an ex who is almost scarily similar in a lot of respects, except his IQ is probably closer to 42, he doesn't speak Japanese and he's not Jewish.

Other than that - are you sure you're not him? Ha ha.

Damien said...

Oh Im sure :) - but thanks for the comparison LOL.
