Aren't these just the worst to fill out? About me... about me.... *pauses*; *strokes chin*; *pregnant silence* Well... I suppose I don't really know much of anything about me. Should I list off some things I've done, things I like, things I can do competently? All that sounds awfully superficial when the topic at hand is "about me". Have you ever found this interesting? That we call this section "about me" instead of just "me"? I think it's because we can never directly express our real selves; that the act of trying to express them somehow muddles their original form, and we're left with ersatz renditions of who we are. In trying to explain ourselves, we're not really explaining ourselves, rather, we're listing off functions of our being so that other people can surmise where to put us in their own personal schema of the world. Are we friends, are we enemies; are we pivotal roles or are we ancillary? I'll send off with this: I'm a person, just as you, I assume, are a person. Did you know this? The word person derives from the Latin, "persona", which means "mask". So, if you want to know more "about me", I suppose you should just jump to the chase and go through my mask collection. "There will be time to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet" Be seeing you, xoxo
