Do you live the Mozz way?

I'm introverted, shy and I'd rather go out for dinner or see a good movie than go out clubbing. I work five days, sometimes six and I like to spend the weekends relaxing at home. I first suffered depression when I was 16 and I have always thought of myself as different to most people. I am comfortable in my own company and don't need huge amounts of people around me to be happy.

Morrissey was the first person I'd ever found that had those types of similarities to me and it's the reason why I love him and his music. It's probably the reason I'm still here.

And I'm not a vegetarian.
 
Hiya, Jessa, your avatar is cute...Have you found it somewhere or have you created it on your own?
Anyway, I've read a lot of messages and well...everyone of us thinks or thought to be the exception to a rule. But probably the model imposed by tv or movie is wrong and there's no wrong or strange in how most of us live. There's no true that everyone is or should be a shameless, cynical, self-confident fling-seeker, always ready to go out clubbing, with millions of friend. The reality is more complex and many-sided: there's shyness, there's more acute sensibility. There's more ;) . Thank heaven!

Thanks. Alas, I did not make it, I found it whilst googling pictures of Morrissey to have as my avatar. :)

And yes, thank heavens for that. :p
 
like mozza, i enjoy whippet racing, pints of creamy northern beer, the words of alan bennett and the voice of thora hird.

i love the smell of freshly cut grass on a late spring day and the neatness of a newly laid grave. a crease in my trouser is a must have and my hair is my life. chips with mushy peas for tea once a weak please, with slices of white bread and butter and mugs and mugs of tea.

the world is a terribly dark place and, like mozza, i know we came in on our own and we shall leave on our own and thats all there is to it.

i am alone always.

a single word can kill me. but when i am on fire i scorch all before me.

like mozza, i enjoy looking backwards but cant stop moving onwards. the end is always too near.
 
I suffer from bouts of depression; have never been in a relationship (and don't really want to be); am vegetarian; read Oscar Wilde; much prefer my own company; have a very small, yet very select, group of friends; spend most of my time either going for long walks, reading or writing, and I can't cook anything but toast. So, yeah... slightly sad isn't it?

Sorry, are you seriously 13?
 
I just think you're incredibly young to be so set on your ways and so precocious, but I'm sure you'll change, despite how much you may protest you won't.
 
Am I precocious? And is that meant to be a complement? As for being set in my ways, I was describing how I am now so, as sure as I am that I will change, this is how I am, sorry if I offended you.

OH, don't mind that dazzak...as you can see, he is just a "ball of hate" :p

Dont worry i've had that sort of unhelpful nonsense thrown at me since childhood, 'you are only young why are you not happy?ect ect!

if only being young did save you from depression:(

on the contrary, that's what causes depression isn't it? :)

How do you live, are you vegetarian, without loving relationship like Mozz lives? Or do you live a "normal" life and just adore his music?
How far do you go in your adoring Morrissey?
I think, an interesting question.

Turned veggie the day I left home. 16 and a half years ago now. I was a full-on Morrissey fanatic when I was growing up. Used to make all of my school friends Smiths remix tapes in an attempt to convert them. Now I'm more of a fan than a fanatic, but I am still very fascinated by the man.

He is the world's best muzo ever, but has shocking taste when it comes to other people's music. If he recommends it, I avoid it :p
 
I think I was attracted to Morrissey not only for his lyrical genius, but for traits I could relate to. Like many others here, I'm introverted, quiet, read volumes (mostly non-fiction), don't socialise particularly well, and I'd rather have a cuppa.

Thank you! Somebody had to say it!
 
I'm quite misanthropic, I'm a vegetarian, I feel like a social freak of nature and as for my lovelife... well, when you think every human is an idiot that you'd rather die than share tour innermost feelings with you have a slight problem... (despite that, against all odds I managed to find my own Tony the pony anyway a few years ago... :)

And as one of my favourite writers Hjalmar Söderberg once said: Growing old is wonderful. Being young was bloody horrific.
 
The Smiths saved my life, Morrisseys lyrics seem to speak directly to me. I'm sure many other disperate young people felt the same. I had no interest in a social life or career and became a devout hermit. School crushed me and I decided that people where not for me. Now after two decades I feel exactly the same way. Though I do get out to see Morrissey concerts..
 
God no. I love (most of) his music but there is no way on God green planet that I will ignore sex or become a veggie or sit around drinking tea with Nancy Sinatra or think whimsicaly all day about the 'England of old', and I think rockabilly is embrassing.
