BioWe meet again, bio field. You think I'm going to tell you about myself, but I'm not. Oh no. I have the power to rise above such narcissistic pursuits, and will instead waste my time in other, more inventive ways.
Such as asking you about yourself. I find this is always the best thing to do when confronted with questions about yourself, especially as often that's exactly what the person asking wants you to do, quickly mumble something in reply so that they can get on with telling you about their exciting iPod, shoes, or fish, or whatever is on their mind, so that you can listen politely and they can claim to have made a new friend, when you know this isn't true, and they probably do too. If they were interested in finding a more apt name for what they had, in fact, made, you might offer "an awkward and unnecessary conversation, if conversation could even be applied here". While lengthier and not as catchy, it'd technically be more accurate.
But I digress. Quite drastically, in fact, because accusing a white box of being narcissistic is probably mislead, if it were to ever come up, which it probably wouldn't. In this case, it would also be cruel, because asking people about themselves is the purpose of this specific white box's existence, so to try and take away any sense of self-worth that this might give the box is just nasty. That is, if white boxes are concerned with self-worth. I don't have the foggiest. Which is why, bio box, I've felt it necessary to turn the tables here. People can approximate what I'm like, I've got friends with bios, and they're fairly similar to me, so you can make assumptions. My journal probably helps with that too. But no one's stopped to think about what a bio box's interests are, what tv shows they like, if reading excessive html and whiny, emo personality descriptions is fulfilling or if they like it, if they aspire to becoming a drop-down menu, or a header image.
So I pose all those questions to you now. Are you happy being a bio box? Do you want to be an interests box, a tags box, or move onto greener pastures and become an application or desktop icon? Or truly break free and become a cat, or a human being, or a dinosaur?
Is it painful going through all that scheduled maintenance, or suddenly having your design changed? What music do you listen to, what games do you play? Can you play an instrument? Are you jealous of Wikipedia edit pages, for the knowledge poured into them by weird people who not only have knowledge worth knowing, but actually want to share it free of charge? Or are you more of people person, do you feel more connected here in the realm of LiveJournal?
I'll be waiting for your answers. Next time I reach the pits of procrastination, you better be ready to pour your thoughts and feeling onto the... proverbial page.
