hello! i'm jamie (any pronouns) and i'm decidedly not new to scratch, but i'm here on a different account - not for any particular reason, and definitely not because there was anything wrong with my old account, but the freedom of anonymity has much too strong of a draw. i love the idea that on the internet you can present yourself however you'd like, and there's some freeing nostalgia about beginning a new account from scratch, almost like you get to mold yourself into the person you want to be. my username is a combination of my name - jamie - and a subtle joke about my pronouns and the french language. in french, ils or elles is the word for 'they'. typically, with words ending in -er, the conjugation for ils/elles is the suffix -ent. changer becomes changent, jouer becomes jouent, and manger becomes mangent. jamier, or my name with an -er ending, becomes... jamient. i just thought it was funny, tbh. anyways, i'm a minor and i like words, villains, and a good story. i like freedom and wandering, and i've been told i have a penchant for the dramatic. i like to smother myself in knowledge and the sheer liberation of existing, because that itself is a victory. i like to sound like a poem, even when i'm simply introducing myself. i like to gorge myself on experience and culture, art and ideas, until i'm not sure who i am anymore, and that is exactly how i like it. i like to be a vessel for something bigger than myself. i like art. i like music, i like satire, i like irony. i like history. i like quotes. and i'll leave you with one: "time is cruel, and crueler still to artists, because visions weakens, and voices wither, and talent fades. because happiness is brief, and history is lasting, and in the end. everyone wants to be remembered”
