LJ Idol - Topic 0 - Introduction to Risingtofall
A couple of things you should know about me, is that I’m a dreamer, a big kid at heart, and I love getting to know people. I like their stories, where they’ve come from, where they’re going, what experiences they’ve had, their success, their failures - everything. I’m just genuinely interested in people. Like putting together pieces of their puzzle and fitting them into people shaped silhouettes until I feel like I know them. That is one thing that I have always loved about Live Journal, reading peoples stories and discovering the ins and outs of their lives despite never having met.
I’m a story teller by nature. I love entertaining people with my stories and my experiences whether they are happy, frightening, mortifying, or depressing. More often than not I try to find the humor in any situation. I find I don’t keep too many things secret unless it’s something I’m truly embarrassed about, but the desire to tell a good story usually overrides anything else. I do however, hate first introductions. I never know what to say about myself and I’d much rather hear about you.
My name is Josh, I’m 28 and hurtling fast towards 30 without much to show for it. I’m a Scorpio through and through. I’ve lived here in Rhode Island for my entire life and I can’t imagine myself living anywhere without easy access to the ocean and a fall that doesn’t involve the changing of the leaves. Music is vital to me but I’ve never learned to play any instruments. Music is my muse, the driving force in my life, it is what inspires me. If I had to list some hobbies I would say photography, reading and writing. I find photographing the world around me calms me, it’s what I turn to when I’m stressed out or need a time out from life. Reading, because there is nothing like getting lost in a good book in your favorite café on a rainy afternoon. Writing because at a very early age I fell in love with movies and every aspect about them and Instead of writing short stories I started writing screenplays and have just never stopped.
I’m currently single. I say that only because so much of my past revolves around the various men who have come and gone and the destruction left behind. I’ve been fortunate enough to find love a couple of different times, but it’s never lasted, and I’ve never fully given up hope. I came “out of the closet” to friends in family 2001 and was met with nothing but love and support which I will always be grateful for and never take for granted. Many people try to define me as ‘the gay guy’ like I’m this year’s ‘must have’ accessory but I’m a lot more than my sexual preference and I don’t really adhere to stereotypes and have never really fit into any one.
I’ve been using LJ for 8 years now and I’ve never heard of LJ Idol, and it sounds like a fun opportunity to write about something else other then failed relationships and embarrassing dating stories two things I feel is all I ever write about anymore. Most importantly though, there’s a whole lot of new people for me to get to know, and I love that.
