Who Am I?

I am...

A klutz. I bump into things accidentally all the time. Twice I bump my head into the corner of hard objects. One was an air conditioner (while I was still a baby, about 1 or 2 years old) and the other was my mother's bedroom door (I think I was four). Both incident rewarded me with some stitches in my head. I have some marks on my knees from falling too often while I was still in elementary school.

That changed a bit though. Growing up probably made my body movement coordination a little bit better. A good friend of mine taught me how to walk (he also taught a lot of things besides that). I slumped. Now, I still slump at times, but not as bad as it used to.

I like dancing. Well, I like watching people dance, to be exact. I myself can't dance. Tried Salsa once, it was very interesting (I guess it was because of that my interest in dance grew). But I doubt that I still remember the steps. If there's time, I would like to continue learning it again. I would also like to learn Tango. I guess the movie 'Scent of a Woman' inspired me in that department.

I can't stay in one place for too long. I'd be bored silly. I like to walk around, keep my body moving. Lately I've been quite self-conscious in the way I walk. My feet stray at times. It would be nice if I could keep them in a straight line whenever I'm walking. So, I've been working on that.

I like to have a big personal space around me whenever I want to be alone. The size of my body and my gestures required a large space. Maybe this is so for many men. I once read a sociology book saying that men's use of space is a sign of power, control. In any case, this has resulted into my elbows bumping into things. Having a crowded house doesn't help either. Lots of things fall down whenever I move in my house.

I have 'itchy' fingers. I like to play with pen caps, hearing the clicking sound whenever I put on and take off the caps. One of my feet jitters whenever I sit down. Well, I guess I just want to point out that I couldn't sit tight and be calm for a long time.

Well, that's part of who I am. More to come...
