Rollick made me do it

Who: Male, 30, Developer

Where: Edinburgh

Doing What: Working for Standard Life, gaming occasionally, writing occasionally, p[rogramming occasionally. Still uncommonly stressed over moving house, despite having actually, y'know, finished doing it.

Alignments: Libertarian Socialist with liberal leanings. Lazy.

Tastes: Many kinds of music from Dido to Coptic Rain via Metallic, Pink Floyd, U2, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and Dire Straits. Films that surprise me. Books that make me think. Dancing in the dark. Long walks up hills. Psychotropic chemicals. Pretending to be people I'm not. Being challenged.

Distastes: Alcohol, lies, hypocrisy, absolutists.

Niggling little details: 3 relationships, one ongoing for 19 months so far. One cat. One broadband connection. One complete Babylon 5 collection. Huge numbers of comics, books and videos. No intention of having kids. too much apathy.

Lifelong bĂȘtes noire: The aforementioned apathy.

I wanna: Get my arse in gear. Find something I care about.

All hail the power of the meme. And of my mind-controlling abilities.

HAIL, I TELL YOU! START HAILING RIGHT NOW!

I find reading the Daily Mail used to totally cure apathy by making me very angry (when I wasn't being incredulous that people coule write such idiocy).

Anyway effort is overrated. Life isn't FOR anything. It just IS. There is no final score. Staying in the game is the default option. Do what you can be arsed to do when you can be arsed and live with the results.

Define achievement, bub. From where I stand, you're doing OK. Maybe it's like we were discussing the other day - people who think more are satisfied less. Hence your prediliction for certain mind-altering substances. Christ knows, I wish I could stop thinking for even a hour....
