Just Who Are You?

[lithiumvocals]

Me. Sure you want to hear this?

Well, I am sophomore in high school. I love classic rock and I'm the front man for my band Bricks. I'm kind of a misfit, but I've managed to find a motley crue of sorts. They're split into two different groups. One is kind of a stoner "dude" group, and we enjoy sex jokes and doing stupid stuff. The other group is a bit of a /b/tard group, but they are honestly good people. They just enjoy politically incorrect humor. They're gamers and techies. So I'm able to split myself and have basically two lives. The two groups get along, so sometimes I can even be a full person.

I have a deep connection with music. I can really get over anything with the right song. As the front man in my band, I'm thrust in to the position of the creative head. My abilities as a song writer aren't fully realized yet, but my guitarist and I get together as often as we can to work.

I'm lazy. I hate work. I honestly wish things would just come to me. That have something to do with the fact I smoke weed, but it might not.

I'm social and antisocial at the same time. I love being around people. People interest me. I like knowing how they tick and knowing their personality. Around the right people, I can really chatter away and tell jokes and laugh. But, sometimes, I just want to sit back and watch.

I'm also in love. Over the summer, I really just fell in love with this girl I knew. I didn't get to see her that often, so I relished every time I could see her. When the school year started, I was happy because I'd get to see her more often. Unfortunately for me, another one of my friends developed the same feelings, later than me I might add, and acted quicker. Neither of them knew about my feelings, so no one knows my heart was broken. So now I'm waiting for someone else to come along or for them to break up. It doesn't help that I'm the only one of my friends who has never gone out with anyone. Hell, my best friend has gotten a blow job before.

Oh, you wanted the short version? Ok, fine.

To sum it up, I'm a romantic, video game playing stoner in a band. Figure that out.

Well, I'm a narcissist, as should be clear by the fact that I'm posting here (obvious joke is obvious.)

In all seriousness, though...I'm 19, of Russo-Scots descent, almost 6 and a half feet tall and weighing in at just under 190 pounds. I'm a classic case of the geek who refuses to admit that he's a geek--I hold myself to a rigorous daily workout schedule, I ride a motorcycle, I'm a drummer, I drink whiskey like it's water, and my suitemates at school have actually started a chart to keep track of the girls who I've hooked up with.

However, I'm also an avid reader of fantasy and sci-fi, I've had long and earnest discussions with my friends about what would happen if Kratos, the Lich King, Dante, and Daniel from Painkiller started a heavy metal band (best guess: the Rockpocalypse), my Firefox bookmarks are about 80% webcomics to 10% YouTube videos to 10% academia, and on one occasion, after getting roaringly drunk and falling down a flight of stairs while attempting to leave a house party, I looked around me, said "shit, guess I failed my Reflex saving throw," and passed out.

Make of all of this what you will.

I thought the 'Who are You?' question was a philosophical one, that no-one can really answer because everyone has too much of an extreme range of ideas and notions by which they define themselves.

Due to this, it is in essence unanswerable. I can tell someone what, where and why I am, and even who to the question: Who is that person? The response being: My name. But, the deeper whom, that which the question asks is really up to me, and isn't something that anyone can conceivably give a factual answer to, even myself.

I like books.

I like videogames.

I have brown hair and blue eyes.

I'm shy.

I'm tall.

I have long hair.

I like animals.

These are all what questions, or things I am. What do I like? What color are my eyes? Am I tall or short? And, while it's possible that all these factors make up the who that I and everyone else is, I've never found it a sufficient answer to the question.

Spoiler: Plus it's a -really- irritating question to be asked.

I'm a-I AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.

 

[Raxlot]

I am a social deviant in pretty much every way.

Out of Steve and Kevin, I was given the name Kevin.

Nice to meet you

I'm confused about my sexual orientation.

I'm socially shy if my medication is working, and if I'm off it, I stop giving a shit and just have so much fun, that people have fun too! At least.. I assume they're having fun! Because fuck them! I'm having fun!

I'm also incredibly lazy unless properly motivated.. and even then.. fuck it, I'm lazy.

I'm loyal to the end if it comes to friends or brands/companies (although the only company I love is Bungie. To any nay-sayers: HAVE AT YOU!)

I act incredibly stupid because it's so much easier than always being right. (Not that I'm always right.. but acting smart seems to entail people EXPECTING you to be smart; when I always act stupid, people don't care as much when I actually make mistakes)

Also, as is shown here, I am incredibly open about my true feelings about things when two factors get combined: a) It is after 10:00 pm, and b) it is on the internet. No idea why it has to be after 10:00 pm.

We tried this in school, a very basic question, but most of us answered it completely differently. So, in your own opinion, who are you?

I'm a very social person. I like being around my friends. I'm kind of lazy when unmotivated, but once motivated, I can get anything done. I'm awesome!

I see before me two paths leading away from where I stand
The high path winds across mountains; a treacherous path, but a sure path, perhaps worthwhile to take
The low path crosses a river; a simple path, but long, deceptive and fraught with its own perils
Both are worn the same
I chose the path that crosses the river
So that I may pick up those who have fallen along the way.

...that's not me. That's a person I made up, and that is the entirety of their name (He goes by River most of the time).

But that's not the point. The point is that what you're asking is much more complicated that you think it is, and some, nay, most people might not be completely certain how to answer.

As an addendum, could you imagine River? What kind of person he would be?
