Hello. My name is Simon Petrikov, but you can just call me Simon. I'm from... well originally I was from Earth, but I guess by now I technically come from the land of Ooo? Me and Finn come from the same "source". I.. think my body is hanging around the 50's, but in actuality I'm over a thousand years old, ha. It's. a long story.
Originally I was an antiquarian, I was never particularly superstitious I just had sort of a fascination with magical artifacts and the like. I liked to collect these artifacts in my prime, but that sort of led me down a path of no return. I don't know, I don't like to think about my old life very much. I still consider myself a bit of an antiquarian, maybe leaning more towards historian; if this. Body. Wasn't plagued with chronic pain and executive dysfunction, I've always wanted to document the history of this system. You see, we all suffer from pretty constant memory loss, So while we might remember events and concepts about other people, we often forget our own identities and our struggles. Which is a problem!
I had been working on documenting that, actually. But I've been knocked out for awhile now, and my energy is very low, so I don't have the energy to write very much at all. I hope that with time I'll be back on the path of recovery and I can keep working on my archive of the system. Someone needs to remember all these things, after all.
I enjoy the company of all my system members, but I'm not sure that I am close friends with any of them like how the others have special bonds with each other. I'm a bit solitary.. When I first got here, I had a lot of trouble fitting in. In some ways I still feel like I don't fit in, but I'm doing my best with what I have. I feel maybe I could be good friends with Five Pebbles, he seems to enjoy the pursuit of knowledge. If I have the chance I'd like to get to know Finn too.
Most of my time these days is spent trying to find myself; I don't have many front triggers or interests (besides the system archive, of course.) and I don't have many songs I personally enjoy, which makes my whole "I cant front consistently or for very long" problem all the more worse. We make do I suppose, but it has been a struggle.
Ideally I'd love to have the system archive somewhere on the website itself! I'm not sure where that's going to go, but I'd love for that information to be accessible to anyone who has access to this website. It's important to us to write it for ourselves, but I think it could be helpful to our friends, and maybe they'd even find it to be an interesting read? haha.
