Well, where to start. With my name I suppose. I'm Cale. Yes, I know it's a
bizarre name. Sadly, few people can pronounce it properly. It's just like it
looks like--rhymes with whale, but start with a C. And Fisher is pretty
self-explanatory, though a few people have spelled it with a 'Ph'. But let's
not go there. I should also mention that I'm a guy because my name isn't very
common and people might not know. I remember I was once assigned to the girls'
baseball team at school because the teacher didn't know me. It was pretty
funny looking back on it.
I'm 17 and live in a city called St. Thomas in Southwestern Ontario. That's in Canada for any Yanks among us :) It's about halfway between Toronto and Detroit. Right now I'm in highschool in grade 11. And to be perfectly candid, my life revolves around school. It's what I do. When I'm not there I'm usually at home doing school work. But I really love my school. I love learning new things, but also being around all my friends there. I don't know, it's something of a family. I can't wait to get off to university! My list of interests is vast. It ranges from history, to science, to writing, to math, music, theatre, reading, politics, and my favourite, a good conversation with anyone, about anything. The list goes on, but I'm sure you have better things to do. Much of my time is spent listening to music, all kinds of music. I like a little bit of everything. If I had to name a favourite band, it would probably be Savage Garden, or Barenaked Ladies. But I like alot of classical music too. No, don't run away, let me finish. It's great for relaxing, or to listen while doing homework, or just general background noise. I know it sounds crazy, but math is fun too. There's something about factoring and graphing functions. I'm not sure quite how to explain it--it just gives a sense of order, and logic that I enjoy in my life. Politics and history eat up a bunch of my time as well. The worst thing I hate is when the room goes silent and there's nothing to say. Everyone is all akward and then, politics to the rescue. I know people say you shouldn't discuss such things with friends, but it's great for conversation. And also, getting to know people. It's really more a matter of individual maturity when discussing politics. If you can join in the conversation without calling names, everything is fine. But if you start throwing out insults, then it's your own fault when no one likes you. Personally, I've had many heated debates with close friends, but we always come out happy and with no resentment because we can leave it behind when the conversation ends. But I'm babbling now, so I'll go on to other things. Discussion and general conversation is something I value more than anything else. It's cheap, it's fun, you learn things...what more could I ask for? The problem is, I get extremely shy in person, or when I'm alone with someone. I'm constantly trying to improve my conversation skills. There's nothing worse then when you're all alone with someone and the conversation abrubptly stops or you say something really stupid. I like to just throw out random questions and see where it takes us. As an example, I might say, "let's play a game--describe your ideal self." At times, it can get philosophical, but that's one of the true gifts of life. I should mention that I'm gay, or at least I think I am. Not that it matters, but it is a part of who I am, and to understand me, it's helpful to know everthing. Strangely enough, sex isn't a big part of my life. I'll even admit that I've never had sex with anyone. It's just never been a big deal for me. When I see someone that's cute, I don't immediately think "wow! I bet he'd be great in bed!" I just like spending time with people, getting to know them, and having fun. Another thing I should mention, just because it bothers me, is that I use the words "just" and "really" far to often in everday speech. It annoys me and I've been working on correcting it for a while now. Spiritually, I don't subscribe to any religion. Though I do enjoy studying them. I go to church sometimes because I like learning about Christianity and interpretations of the bible. Plus they do alot of charity work for our community and that has my full support all the way. Bear with me for a minute, as this is going to sound a bit crazy. I believe there is a universal consciousness watching over all things. This isn't necessarily a life form, but more of a force, like gravity. It ensures that kindness, generosity, chrarity, honour, integrity and other such things are rewarded. At the same time, it punishes those who are greedy, selfish, irresponsible, and generally cause any harm to society. These rewards/punishments may not be evident, but they do exist. And they don't take any monetary form--the rewards are more along the lines of personal happiness, friends, the abilty to laugh. It just takes a while for us to take notice of them. I suppose this is somewhat like Karma. I'm a trekkie, I love Star Trek. No, I don't dress up as a Klingon and go to those silly conventions. But I do believe everything you need to know in order to survive and be a decent, productive person can be found in Star Trek. It's going to be a sad, sad day when Voyager ends. Some of the things I love:
I can't think of anything else to say just now. Which is probably best, since I don't want to scare or bore any of you away. So in the words of an old friend of mine, 'there it is.' |
