Who are you?

I'm Steven. If personalities were people, mine would be the Mexican guy with gang tattoos standing in the corner of the club chewing a razor blade. I sometimes wonder if everything in the world is just a dream I'm having, and I'm gonna wake up and think "That was weird," and then move on. I'd be more certain about it if I hadn't dreamt up so many idiots. I have a dark sense of humour. People think I make a lot of jokes, so they keep laughing. Until one day, years later, they're lying in bed and it dawns on them that everything I've ever said to them is true. And then I don't hear from them again. But I never claimed to be anything other than honest.... Aside from the heartwarming introduction and loveable conclusion, I'm a nice guy.

Who are you?

Believe it or not, I'm a romantic. And by romance, I don't mean the popularly misconceived romance you can buy for £24.50. A dozen roses and chocolates is not romantic. It's uninspired. I think only cynics can be true romantics, because they see the cracks in a black and white world, but still allow themselves to be swept away when they see a glimmer of hope. It is only once you are flawed that you can recognise perfection. You haven't got your head in the clouds, and you're not refusing to see the world. Everything is screaming at you not to fall and yet, you can't resist. You enjoy it for what it is and for however long it lasts. I don't believe in rebellion for the sake of it, but rebellion that exists simply because you do. When something occurs that you disagree so strongly with that you can't help but resist. That is romance. It has nothing to do with 'being different' and everything to do with being who you are. Seeing things in black and white and realising you see things differently to the others. And instead of agreeing because you "must be wrong", realising why you see things the way you do, and coming to terms with it. It's late and I'm tired.

What gets under your skin?

I dislike people who describe themselves as "down to earth". Firstly, what does that even mean? Do you have any reason not to be "down to earth"? Are you some kind of superstar? No. It's just filler for boring people. As is "I love laughing" or "I like my friends" or "I love getting drunk". Yeah, nice one. You haven't got a picture of Che Guevara on your shirt for nothing, have you? I dislike the celebrity-driven society we live in, and the lengths people will go to to get into it. Reality tv being the prime outlet for this, of course. "Look how mad I am! I'm such a laugh!". "Fanned ya", "Tagged ya", "Comment me back". The little counter at the top of the screen already tells me that. Thanks for the update though, moron. Roy "Chubby" Brown really fucks me off. Some dirty, fat old man telling shit jokes just doesn't do it for me. It wouldn't be a lie to say I'll be completely indifferent upon hearing the news of his death.

My Hero(s)

Anyone who stands up for themselves because they know they're right. Anyone who supports their family, and works their asses off to give them what they want. The volunteers and rescue workers of the world. Everyone is a hero at different point in their lives, it just doesn't always get recognised because people focus too much on labels and materialistic issues. People who fight a disability; not letting it get to them, or prevent them from doing what they wanna do, are heroes. The kid whose parents are illiterate alcoholics who gets good grades in school, or goes to university, is a hero. The girl who says 'no', not because she doesn't want to, but because she has a set of values instilled upon her, is a hero.
