Well, I'm Dain. I'm your everyday college kid with a passion for people and writing. My friends try to tell me that I'm a hipster, but I will never care about politics or Pabst beer or ironic t-shirts as much as they do. Nor will I ever be that arrogant and self-righteous. (You have permission to kill me if I am.)
I love dark chocolate: the more cacao, the better. I almost never eat it, though, because I try to save it for a time when I'll really want it. Needless to say, if I'm always telling myself "save it for later", later will never come.
Most people think I'm quiet, but I really have a crazy world constantly running in here. I'm just waiting for the right time to share it. Sometimes it slips out, and the people around me realize that I'm loads more bonkers than they could have ever assumed. It's okay; I like surprising people.
My musical taste is eclectic, at best. I have a deep love for music, in general, and can find enjoyment in basically any genre. I tend to lean towards folk and anything with banjos/mandolins, harmonicas, or bearded men. I guess that's the hipster side of me coming out. I do have a hard time stomaching screamo/hardcore rock.
I'm a pacifist, I like to pretend I can speak French (parlez-vous français?), I'm an Anglophile and nature-appreciator. I don't cook very often, but when I do I enjoy it. Someday, I want to join the Peace Corps and help improve the global community in the small way that one person can. I'm an American who isn't ignorant of the rest of the world, and I'm going to keep it that way.
Oh, and I'm delicious. Delicious Dain, that is.
Ok, so I've been reading this book, it's called Atonement, and you should read it, because it reminds me alot of you. Let me type out an excerpt:
ReplyDelete"Even without their attention and praise and obvious pleasure, Briony could not have been held back from her writing.....she was on course now, and had found satisfaction on other levels; writing stories not only involved secrecy, it also gave her all the pleasures of miniaturization. A world could be made in five pages, and one that was more pleasing than a model farm. The childhood of a spoiled prince could be framed within half a page, a moonlit dash through sleepy villages was one rhythmically emphatic sentence, falling in love could be achieved in a single word--a glance. The pages of a recently finished story seemed to vibrate in her hand with all the life they contained." pg 7 Atonement, Ian McEwan, Anchor Books.
That movie was so
ReplyDeletefrustrating
but I loved it.
I think I should read it. I think you're right.
Super cute, my dear. Have you ever heard Zydeco? It's a music genre I stumbled upon in New Orleans.
