PATINA: a thin layer of shit on somethin' |
|
Graig is The hot 100 count-up... 100 things I hate, or like, or am generally indifferent about me: 1. The sad truth is I didn't leave home until I was 23 2. The sadder truth is I went back again a year and two months later 3. I got out of the house 6 months after that 4. I'm not going back there 5. I had fish once, for about two weeks 6. I had a dog named Griffer when I was young 7. I'm still not quite sure what happened to him 8. My parents told me he ran away 9. My sister told me they put him down and lied to me 10. My favorite childhood toys were Masters of the Universe (He-Man) toys 11. I destroyed my favorite childhood toys with a hammer when I was 13 or 14 12. I keep personal journals 13. I sometimes share their contents, but no one's allowed to read them 14. I have a fond affinity for Superman 15. It's probably because my last name is Kent 16. The only nickname that ever stuck was "Gray-Go" 17. Gray-Go was an alternate personality whom I killed off in '97 18. I've not been to the dentist since around 1996 19. I used to eat dog food when I was a kid 20. I sometimes wonder whatever happened to Michelle Baker 21. Sometimes people have just had enough of me 22. Most of my favorite shows star British people 23. I hope I'm not a starfucker, but I can't be sure 24. I like to name drop, and yes, I know it's annoying 25. I think too much sometimes 26. I say too much when I drink 27. I will take charge if no one else will 28. I don't mind playing the fall guy/scapegoat 29. I'm not a big fan of the telephone 30. I'm even less a fan of the cel phone 31. I like communicating best via email 32. "Cinnabons" is one of those words that makes me laugh 33. "videographer" makes me smile quietly to myself 34. I was once engaged to a woman with the same last name as me but we weren't related in any way 35. she's still a good friend 36. I like making lists of things 37. I can't help it, but I like -and own- some clothes from the Gap 38. I don't think I could live off peanut butter, but if pressed, I would try (but not like this 39. Though you might never believe it, I've had sex 40. I bite my nails, but only to clip them when they get too long 41. I think flared nostrils are sexy 42. Though I'm not gay, I have a man-crush on Steve from "Sex and the City" 43. I think too much sometimes 44. Sometimes I really suffer from a lack of motivation 45. I've never been really happy with my body, and I don't think I'll ever be 46. If Keanu can have a career in movies, I should be able to as well 47. Orange, favorite colour 48. I will notice a woman wearing orange 49. I like blondes, but I like redheads better, and I like brunettes better than redheads, but I like black hairded women the most 50. I've deluded myself into thinking that in the 70's hairy guys were sexy 51. I'm almost sure I was either born ten years too early or ten years too late 52. I've had this persistent notion that, were I to have a past life, I was a black woman from the States somewhere 53. I'm not a big fan of the United States... but I do like some of their shit, and some of their people 54. If I were an American citizen, I would be "Anti-American" 55. As a result of being a chubby kid, I don't like body fat on me 56. People regularly tell me I'm skinny. I call it lean. 57. Sometimes I don't have the patience or determination to learn new things 58. But sometimes I do 59. My favorite musician for a long time was Tori Amos, and I was obsessive... I've kicked it, but not cold turkey 60. My favorite musician is now Stephin Merritt of Magnetic Fields, the 6ths, Gothic Archies, and Future Bible Heroes and I'm not obsessive 61. I do have an obsessive pesonality 62. I may or may not have moved to Toronto to see a lot of concerts... and I have... and will continue to do so 63. I can be an indie snob sometimes, I'm sorry 64. My favorite number is 11, I have no reason why 65. I'd like to believe in conspiracy theories but sometimes man... sometimes... 66. Aliens do exist, and I am the proof 67. I like to make stuff up for entertainment purposes only 68. I've stopped lying to get myself out of trouble for a few years now 69. I'm very in touch with myself, and because of that I can be a great person to turn to for moral or personal advice, no word of a lie 70. I don't do drugs, asparin excepted on rare occasions 71. I know my mom doesn't like it when I swear 72. Star Wars is more than a movie, it's a part of my life 73. I know a lot of stuff that will get me nowhere in life 74. If I could spend my life writing, listening to music, watching movies, and reading comics, i'd be a happy man 75. Oh, yes, I do like my comics... 76. I have reoccurring dreams of my teeth shattering or flaking apart in my mouth 77. If Green Lanterns were real, I think I would be one, as I don't think I have fear (though I may be wrong) 78. I like my me time 79. I honestly think there's a comic book out there for everyone 80. I sometimes think my grandmothers are going to live forever, and that makes me smile 81. My life, I believe, would be just great without cars 82. I'm a night-hawk 83. I don't like going to sleep when I have stuff I could be doing 84. My internal clock is always so screwed up 85. I could never be a male slut, it's just not in me 86. I have self-esteem issues, but not all the time 87. I'm pretty much easy-going all the time, relatively speaking 88. It was during my third year of university when I got my first gray hair 89. I do wear contact lenses 90. I wanna be famous, but not really famous... like popular writer famous 91. I wonder what my life would be like if I were an asshole 92. I wonder who thinks I'm an asshole, as I'm sure, despite my best efforts, there are people that don't like me 93. I've rejected girls before, and felt guilty and flattered at the same time 94. Women in Toronto have rejected me more than women in any other city 95. I'm looking for specific things, but I'll only know them when I find them 96. I own and use tweezers 97. "tweezers" is another word that makes me smile 98. I'm happy when people like me, but it upsets me when I really don't like them in return 99. I think I'm sensitive 100. I may not be smart but I've got lip balm |
