I Have Multiple Personalities and This is One Side of Me

I've had several opportunities of shocking people when they find out something about me which goes against their personal view of me. Friends who are not part of my class finds it hard to believe that I, excuse the bragging, am the president of the class - seems to them that I am the "doesn't care shit about life" guy. My family, on the other hand, are surprised to see me all jolly and happy-go-lucky with my friends because they always see me as a guy who would rather live in solitude than in company. My guidance counselor even said that I act like I came from the Grade School of the university I am currently in; I didn't. A teacher of mine described me as a guy you would never guess what he truly is if you look from the outside.
I hide a lot of myself to be honest. At times, I can be the artsy-farsty guy; I can be the "DUDE! ROCK ON"-then-headbangs guy; I can be the responsible "Do the good and follow Christ!" guy; I can be the "PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!"-"Who says you can't have too much beer?" guy; I can be the literate emo "This is not a chair, we just perceive it to be a chair" guy; I can be the "HA! HA! YOU ARE DUMB! I AM SUPERIOR!" guy; I can be anything you could imagine, really. Not knowing who I am is who I am.
This blog is to entertain and to express my literary side. I love stories - not just in boooks but also movies, television shows, etc. It is where our imagination grows and spreads its branches towards the sky. It is where we find out truths about life hidden beneath the exposition, rising action, climax, denoument, and conclusion. Above all, it is where we become anyone or anyone we could imagine.
Story turns us all into people with multiple personalities. One world, you could be a murderous schizophrenic, another a boy stuck on a desserted island, another a girl desperately looking for love and finds it in the most unusual of places. Story entertains all sides of me and this is why I love it.
I hope you can join my literature-loving side in a journey across the universe of story. Welcome to my blog.
