[Public] Journal Entry: Simon Tam, 8/15/2012

As it seems like introductions are the order of the day, for those of you not telepathic, my name is Simon Tam, currently in 101 West. I'm usually studying, but if it seems I'm not busy, then I'd be happy to say hello.

If it does look like I'm busy, I'd ask that you please respect my privacy.

I'm sixteen, and I don't pay much attention to music beyond what my sister both plays and sings around the house at home. I run in the morning, but I've never had the time for sports. I enjoy reading and I'm something of a history buff.

Ok so you study and read a lot but what else do you do for fun? Can't be serious all the time, right?
om_husk: (Glasses: Book!)

[personal profile] om_husk 2012-08-15 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely!

...and it's nice to meet you, Simon.
om_husk: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] om_husk 2012-08-15 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
What kind of books do you like to read? Mostly history?

No way. I'm not putting that junk into my body.
om_husk: (Glasses: Smile)

[personal profile] om_husk 2012-08-16 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should agree now not to bicker over library books.
om_diamondlil: (disinterested)

[personal profile] om_diamondlil 2012-08-16 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
You just named everything I hate.

Bet you're a reeeal bucket of fun.

Well yeah but meant what else other than reading.

You slowpokes literally never look busy to me, so, like, maybe you should get a sign or something.

Or just tell me to fuck off. But by then I'd have already interrupted your super important business. Rocks fall, everyone dies. Mass hysteria.
om_quicksilver: (bubbles)

[personal profile] om_quicksilver 2012-08-15 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it'd help you because that way I'd know not to bug you. "Simon is busy now, Pietro. Fuck off." Otherwise I'll probably think you look bored or boring no matter what you're up to.

Not saying I'll actually want to bug you, just more of a ridiculous hypothetical. Nevermind.

And yeah, I do. Favorite activity, actually. What kind of history are you into? I went on a colonial American binge a few weeks ago. That shit's intense.
om_quicksilver: (pretty tank)

[personal profile] om_quicksilver 2012-08-16 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
It's like I can't decide if you meant to be complimentary or condescending with the "you're well read, at least", so I'm just gonna ignore it. I am, though apparently this is a matter of some surprise to people. (Not you. Just people.)

That's awesome. I've never been to Williamsburg. That and Jamestown are on my list now, though. Anyhow we can nerd out about that sometime somewhere else. I'll spare you the details for the moment.

What's your party trick, anyhow? Are you a speed-reader, or just addicted?

So, once I googled "psychometry" that actually made sense. About the reading being incidental and instrumental, I mean. So are we talking people, or, like, fish, birds, that kind of "biological"?

[personal profile] om_quicksilver 2012-08-17 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sweet, if I have a broken hamster or something, I know who to talk to.
om_elixir: (b-b-but why?)

[personal profile] om_elixir 2012-08-16 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
So you just study? That's it?
om_elixir: (say whaaaaaat)

[personal profile] om_elixir 2012-08-16 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
What do you do for a social life, though?
om_elixir: (O_O)

[personal profile] om_elixir 2012-08-16 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
By then you might be a hermit or a headcase, though!
om_elixir: (trying not to lol at ur asshattery)

[personal profile] om_elixir 2012-08-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Looking to add to the population then?
om_elixir: ([pb] you're such a tool)

[personal profile] om_elixir 2012-08-17 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Right right becoming a doctor.

Say, I wonder what all this mutation stuff means for doctors. I bet I could put guys like that out of business if the prof let me!
om_elixir: ([pb] killin me softly with his song~)

[personal profile] om_elixir 2012-08-17 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yet. Keyword's yet. You've gotta have some faith! I know I'm not going to be stuck in this place forever and hiding like some chump.
om_elixir: (can you stop cockblocking me now??)

[personal profile] om_elixir 2012-08-17 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope you're not being sarcastic about that.
om_elixir: ([pb] killin me softly with his song~)

[personal profile] om_elixir 2012-08-18 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not staying here forever because I look like this. There's no way.
om_magma: (a smile for once)

[personal profile] om_magma 2012-08-16 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Reading is most enjoyable. There is so much world history that I was not taught; it seems never ending but still a pleasure to learn.
om_magma: (a little devious)

[personal profile] om_magma 2012-08-17 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I'm honored you would share your knowledge with me, classmate.
