[Re]Introduction

[lionelclan]

My name is Jackie and I think it's fair to say devoting a paragraph, two, or seven to describing a person is a little ridiculous and unpractical--particularly if it can actually be done because if that's the case, they are either lying to themselves or there is a significant lack of complexity that really ought not to exist in anybody, any age.

Well with what you started with says a lot about you actually - even though you do that says nothing about me saying says something about me in there. It’s exactly right actually and fitting because how the hell can you fit a person in three paragraphs or God-forbid five words like those ridiculous surveys.

The problem is that you could write a novel and never describe Jackie. I know you pretty damn well and I know I don’t know all there is to know. I know the key elements and therefore can predict you based on those certain things but I certainly can’t say I know all there is to know. Hell, I daresay you don’t know all there is to know.

Have faith Jackie - in something; for the love of all that is right and good in the world have faith, even if it’s just in you. :) I think you do because, lets be fair, there’s not really much you can have in society or culture of his hell hole. Ah I like it sometimes, but most times I’m just annoyed by my peer’s stupidity (much like you - and it doesn’t get better).

I don’t think it was cynical or bitchy; I think it was real, in the moment. I think it’s nice for you to use it and contrast it with a different disposition but certain both are applicable and both are part of Jackie. It paints a picture too.

And hell man who are we if not a sum of our experiences and thoughts. So no matter how random or seemingly superfluous there is meaning. Just like all those threads you tell me ‘do it!’ that I’m like oh-ho but it just seems redundant or boring. It’s not, never. Always with purpose. Just like this little section of the inter-tubes you’re stealing to showcase your awesome. That’s right, you’re awesome is showing you might want to cover it up - but I encourage to let it all out.

Psssst - no one is judging. And if they are, screw em. :) How about if you bare with us instead?

....You see it right? The tip top? You're sitting there, lawn chair (very comfortable, molded quite well to your butt and back) on the very top top of the pyramid that I have always had constructed. So high up that you're teetering on the very point of the blasted thing (God that's so British :P) and you're SO good that you don't even wobble against gravity. You defy gravity--we'll let John Mayer know.

We get by--particularly because of the top, tippy top, sort. I hope your comfortable man. Because you definitely can not life my spirits (though not that they were down today--other days, definitely) and expect to escape from that spot. The rules say no.

And you're right--are you ever not? :D We are in fact a product of what we've thought and said and felt all through our lives. I wonder where that part comes from. :D Those three paragraphs--I don't like to sound mean. :D I don't like to sound like I'm complaining about all the bad things in my life because to hell with them, life could be a lot worse. At least I have a pyramid full at all. I'm not unhappy and that thing makes me seem unhappy (or maybe it doesn't--maybe its just that I was critical and unhappy the day I wrote it and therefore it has that disgusting vibe about it).

But! That is exactly the comparison isn't it? I had gone to snag it because I figured oh cool, I can post that and then it's like an introduction to the introspective mind of Jackie. But I sort of didn't like myself when I was reading it. :D Like if I read that on someone else's page, I wouldn't been totally intimidated.

Oh I intend to let it out. :D And I intend to drag you with me--this goes back to the no escape part. Remember that? You're sort of stuck too.

We'll all bare it together. :D
