09, meet faizan.

090101

Hello, 2009. It's so nice to meet you. I feel sad about 2008 leaving me, but I'm sure you will be as awesome as '08, if not more.

Well, I should introduce myself, shouldn't I?

I am tall, as most people would say. Thinner than a panda, fatter than a stickman. I wear specs, and hopes for a prettier smile. I have buck teeth that could make Bugs Bunny proud, and sharp incisors that could make Bram Stoker proud.

I am 16, coming 17. I have thin wrists from excessive, uh, work. I have long, white legs, and they have minimal hair.

I laugh a lot, but I get cranky sometimes. I hold grudges so people can see the better side of me. I work hard to achieve what I want, but I can be lazy at times. I hope to get good grades for my O's, so I can get a scholarship and take Further Mathematics.

Mathematics is my passion. I like to fiddle around with numbers, as do I with the guitar, keyboard and the gulintangan. I hope to be better at the latter.

I am good at guessing most of the times. Put your hand in a packet of Skittles or M&M's, and I can tell you the colour of the candy you picked out, provided I know what colours are present. A random song sometimes pops into my head, and 10 minutes later I hear that song on air.

I am single. The last thing I am is taken. Though two of my close friends claim that I am their husband. A lot of my friends are female, but I do have male friends, mostly from BASE Camp. I know a lot of people, and vice versa. I am "everyone's best friend", to quote a friend. Knowing that many people is hard, because I only have too small a memory to remember their names, but I try my best to.

I don't get updated on the latest song, TV shows, movies, gossip, fashion, or any of that superficial crap Western culture has got us addicted to. But I act like I do. I watch How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Chuck and Supernatural, to name a few.

I get racist sometimes. I get a good look at someone and decide if I should like them or not, sometimes. I try to be friendly to people who aren't judgemental. Lame jokes works, so yeah.

A friend says I'm a "smartass", but I don't see any awards or medals to prove, therefore the comment is dismissed. I try to solve a problem, if not, I just run away from it. Simple.

I am severely active in competitions. This year alone I am involved in 6 competitions and 1 conference, 3 of which clashed in a week, and 1 of which clashed with my Biology written papers.

I try not to hate people, except those who deserve it. One example are the wolves at school. Another are biased people. And slave drivers.

I hope that sufficed to allow you to picture me, dear '09. What about you? Describe yourself. No? Oh, well. I'll just have to wait 364 days. See you.
