Archetypical

QOTE:

“What’s his type? Wilting flower? Bright and bubbly? Or smoldering temptress?”

- Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge!

Some of the more interesting templates for characters that I personally wouldn’t mind being:

1. The mysterious stranger who cryptically leaves messages and clues, giving the impression that he knows much more than he is letting on.

2. The dark shadow in an alleyway, always one step ahead of the protagonist and an ever present yet unknown threat.

3. The tormented anti-hero, tortured by his shadowy past and haunted by decisions he was forced to make in years past.

4. The starving generic creative mind, thrust from her mere struggle for survival into a journey that may decide the very fate of the world.

5. The genius criminal mastermind, able to elude capture and commit heinous acts of criminal activity through sheer intellect.

6. That girl in the last entry.

Foppotee

There’s a lot of pressure when starting a new blog. It’s a chance to wipe the slate clean, to reveal yourself in new and different ways. You’re allowed to establish afresh how you want to portray yourself, and (perhaps more importantly to some) how you wish others to perceive you.

Pretty heavy stuff to consider, eh? Especially when there are so many choices to pick from… should I go with the open source fanatic? (p.s. WordPress is open source.) Or the zany sarcastic one-line master? The deep and insightful erudite introvert? The confident confidant? None of the above? Verily I say to thee, there are as many facets to one’s personality as there are colors of the wind.

In the end, I’ve settled for what best describes me: a mere foppotee telling a simple tale. But in the end, aren’t we all?

Quote of the Entry (QOTE): “foppotee – n, 1663-1663. Simpleton. What a pitiful foppotee he was, always oblivious to our jeers!”
