Who am I? Well, look up there. My name is Thomas Edward Smith. I am my father's son.
Take a look around this paragraph. Look how much time I have spent to make myself appear more important, more loved, than I really am. This Thomas Smith is just an illusion. I am a product being pushed, and you're my target market.
I don't know what I am, I just know how I want to appear. How I want to be seen. And only that is what I'll put on display for you.
If you've ever felt won over by me, it was the product of obsessive planning. Constant vigilance to create a better me. Tedious effort put in to the words I choose and the rhythm of my sentences. An illusion of a personality created with the perfect mix of neurosis and confidence.
Every word I have spoken to you, every humorous or touching moment we've shared, was just part of an arduous campaign to capture your heart and mind.
Even I don't know myself. Just like your average marketing-type, I have very little intimate knowledge of the product I am selling.
I just push it on the masses. And they eat it up.
Who I'd like to meet:
Looking around, it's become clear to me that people don't understand if this space is supposed to be used to describe the people you are interested in meeting via myspace or real people who they actually want to meet. Since I don't really feel like I need more friends, I will just use this space to list some celebrities I want to... uh, meet.
Julianne Moore, Lauren Graham, Bellamy Young, Kate Walsh, Sherilyn Fenn, Stephanie Courtney, Lauren Ambrose, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Sara Rue, Renée Zellweger, Erika Christensen, Dita Von Teese, Alison Goldfrapp
