chrisvenusTen thousand years in the future society is opening up a capsule and inside, cryongenically frozen, is you. They revive you and the first question they have is "So, this Chris Venus guy, tell us about him..." How would you start to describe me to people who've never met me before?
You see, I was thinking today, as I wandered around waitrose looking for my lunch, about how people perceive me. I know how I'd like to be perceived but as I thought about it what came to mind was all the annoying habits I had, all the things I'd done that might have annoyed people. And with them all the nice things I'd done to help people out without even contemplating asking for anything in return. And then things like last night when somebody said "I just assumed you were 30". I realised that I have no idea what people think of me and that just isn't good enough. So go on, how would you describe me? And be honest... And I'm intrigued by what those who don't know me well (or even those who I've never met IRL and just know on LJ) think of me from what they've seen...
