It's not that they are erroneous, it is that there are hundreds of adjectives you can choose from. Everytime you pick a word to describe yourelf, you make a choice. This choice is telling in a way, but mostly it's arbitrary. That's like trying to give the outline of a very complicated three-dimensional forms using only a small number of straight lines.

Depends on what you call hypocrisy I huess. I understood it as "answering a question with the intent to please whoever asked it and no consideration for one's actual opinion on the matter".

Granted, from that definition and the words you gave it is more likely that some of your friends are hypocrites or that, in average (with a proper notion of averaging of course) the friends you asked for an adjective are hypocrite.

Of course, the key point here (and that's the twist) is the intention of whoever interprets the results.

I was obsessed with Orwell for years. It broke my heart, though, as I found out more and more about him, to realise how conservative he was underneath it all, and how he might have ratted out loads of people on his deathbed.

Regardless, I adore 1984, Down and Out in Paris and London, Homae to Catalonia and the essay collection, Shooting an Elephant, which is just jaw-droppingly amazing - especially "A Hanging."

Read "How the Poor Die" if you haven't.

If you're taking intellectual in the rather narrow sense of "professional writer or member of academia", mind that even within that narrow space, it is often hard for academics and writers to agree on who's a hack and who's a serious thinker.

Also, I'm not sure that intellectuals often call themselves humble. They do it in the introduction of their works, as a form of courtesy (because bragging there would mostly lead to ridicule), but they're not precisely trying to hide their power level or their pride.

I was just ending the game. Not that I ever played it. Note also that "it depends" depends on what comes next. "It depends on circumstances" means "if you"re discussing strategy, give yourself a proper situation to analyze". The beginning of the debate was about wisdom, and now suddenly it's about advantage and power. Not that those things are unrelated, but if you're going to shift the goalposts, might as well change the landscape (if you catch my drift).

Active response:

Oh! you like alcohol.

your use of parenthesis is interesting, something similar to what I've done in my middling scholarly bullshit

Why 'Pierre'?

Impressionistic. Just short of poetry.


On to "Harmonize":
slow as time is mediocre. make it just 'slow'.

A genuinely poetic use of space. Cool.

mixture of feelings and dialogue is interesting but unrefined.

Cool. Not done. Obviously

More?

Also, now I'm cunt. but only periodically

Of course you didn't. If I were writing that for publication, I wouldn't post it here. I'm writing that purely for me and some close friends. The quotations indicate verbals, and the charaters' thoughts are generally written on the right without quotations. Boldness indicates "Other", Nestra being the central character throughout the work. Parenthesis generally indicate physical action

I read often. I listen to as much music, view as much art, watch as many movies, etc.

WELL ROUNDED LOL

Though I really, really think I want to write a novel.

Though your writing, there, seems more suited to a visual-linguistic medium. You really need to find a way to make that visual sense more relateable.

If you can't, which seems reasonable, I admonish you to play with a camera and software.

But you've got a style. Play with it. Settle it. Use better geometry and demarcation.

or, u'know, set on your own voyage

That pride is just defense mechanism against feeling of worthlesness. Once narcissist fails at something it confirms his sense of uselesness he is masking and falls into depression.
