Patrat's LJ

I'm a guy of many talents...
I'm also 18 now...

Socially, I can pretty much fit into any schema I'm placed into and still make friends to boot.
Whether it be with the nerds, the prissy prep girls, the asshole jocks, even those weird kids who watch anime non stop and make constant 4chan references.

The only few I've found difficulty thus far with is the generic "self interested" asshat that can be anyone essentially, and the downright illogical idiots who think they're right when they clearly not.
I mean, if need be, i could be a GIANT prick about everything and fit right in, but then i just feel like a dumbass.

The funny consequence I find is that with this flexibility, I've picked up a seemingly infinite amount of nicknames.
Patrat was my first one. When I was little, and before my parents divorced, I remember have a preschool friend who would always call me that. Since then I've had almost every possible variation of the name "Patrick" that I could've never imagine on my own.
Some are, but not limited to, "Patrat, Patpat, Patty, Patty cake(s), Pattricky, Pa'trat (It bothers me that some people can't figure out that pat and rat are two separate words...), etc.

As per music I generally extremely flexible. I can pretty much listen to anything (besides fucking country..) and get same level of entertainment out of it.
Now most people tell me
" :O (Insert nickname here), country is so deep and emotional, and to here it coming from the seasoned vocal cords of big macho southern men is almost touching."

True. To that I say the novelty wears off after you've either stopped feeling bad about somthing in your life, or if you're me, after the first three songs...

It's slightly hypocritical for me to say that really, because after all, I'm one of those assholes who enjoy techno (aka "electronica" to the more inclined), but then again when I listen to music, half the time i'm purely enjoying the melody as opposed to the miscellaneous lyrics to whatever song; Techno seems to pull this off for me.
*shrug*

When i said i was a guy of many talents, I lied by the way. The above statements aren't really talents persay, just traits of my personality I suppose...
Not that I'm going to change it because chances are, if you're reading this(which i highly doubt), it wouldn't really matter anyway.

:D

Moving on...
I feel like talking about my life now...

I enjoy hanging out with my miscellaneous friends more than anything in the whole god damn world. is is prbably due to the fact that fr the majority of the year I'm stuck in "Boringasfucktown", Connecticut. It's in the Fairfield region, which normally i'd be thrilled about but then again my Nazi-esque over protective parents(dad and stepmom) have ensured I don't get into that sort of crowd...
This really puts a damper on things as it's really made me lose interest in the place, however I digress. Don't worry, I'm not done complaining about that part yet.
The best place in my life is where I originally grew up.
The tiny community known by the name of, "Block Island"
Best fucking place.
Ever.
Summers especially.
Not only do i get to get away from "boringasballstown" but I get to contrast that with the complete opposite living setting.
Fairfield is nice and all, being all "proper like" on the outside and "Crazy as apeshit" on the inside, but on Block, i get to flip that around and have the time of my life.
Not to mention summer isn't fucking FREEZING COLD.
You may be asking yourself why i would leave the place I'm most truely happy in...
Answer. It isn't wise to indulge in happiness and never get the taste of what's on the other side of it.
The main reason to this hypothesis was my school setting.
Relaxed as that happy dude who sells weed to all the local 16 year olds.
This can prove to be hazardous when it comes to making important future decisions, and suprisingly at my young age i knew this. My dad and step mom, whom i do love by the way, live in an area with one of the best public schools "in the country" supposedly rivaling private schools. And despite the fact i knew i wouldn't enjoy it, I also didn't enjoy the corpse dead winters of Block, whering there was literally nothing for my prepubescents self to do. Which leads to my recent years...


I've been so bored i've found wonderful ways to just sit around the house, wasting away my days doing abso-fucking-lutly nothing constructive with my life. Not that that can't be mildly entertaining... MMO's seem to fill the time quite nicely :D
I haven't even gotten a LICENSE yet which is really the main source of my extreme excess in freetime. Not that i don't want one, it's just that i have no fucking clue how to drive.
I have my permit, but all i had to do was read the driver's manual. To get a license you need to have USED your permit to on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, this is somehow my fault, according to my parents, as apparently I don't "beg enough" to driven. No joke. They want me to beg.
To drive.

Recently I've been trying t correct a lot of the flaws in my life.
Mainly college prep, SAT's, and the driver's license issues.
College prep I've been procrastinating with a passion, and SAT's...
Well at least i got them done in time...

Still working on drivers license, all i have to do is walk in to take the test, however i still need to be taken out of the house and drive somewhere to actually learn the use of the bleeding contraption.
*shrug*
I'm sure I'll figure things out.
