describe yourself

Describe yourself in the third person-your physical appearance and personality-as you were a character in a book. -- 642 Things to Write About

Inspiration strikes again!  I decided to write in style of fun science fiction novels I enjoy reading.  The characters always have strange quirks that make them lovable.  For the record I do remind myself but I derive little satisfaction from it haha.

Eric spoke to himself.  Sometimes out loud but usually in his mind: reminders, always reminders.  It's not that he was forgetful but Eric enjoyed the satisfaction of reminding himself of things yet completed.  It's like the feeling you get after accomplishing a goal.  Except in this case Eric accomplished a reminder to remind himself.  He believed everything was "betta with meta."  

Glued to the screen of his smartphone it's light cast a blue-ish light over his somewhat round build.  Years of studying at university and living off KD had turned him into a thoughtful and slow-moving person.  Eric's physical appearance beguiled those that did not know him, if you managed to wake him from his screen-slumber he became a tsunami of energy.
