BioExtract from This Really Isn't Going to Help Your Mental Health in the Long Run:
"Box Theory - If a problematic issue is placed inside an opaque box, the issue is no longer visible and consequently for all intents and purposes no longer exists. Derived from the Peek-a-boo Theory demonstrated by small children, who believe that they cannot be seen if others cannot be seen by them.
The first known applications of box theory attempted to utilise a mentally constructed box, however whilst these proved successful in the short term even the most hardened of boxes were prone to collapse if filled too heavily or pressured from too many sides at once - see Shipwrecked (2006). Trial runs using virtual, online boxes have proved more successful however there are some concerns that the intangibility of these boxes will once again prove to be a significant flaw. The utilisation of an actual box has therefore been proposed, however there have yet to be any test cases using this method.
Some theorists have hypothesised that Pandora's Box was a failed example of tangible box theory in practice, but then theorists say lots of things and most of them aren't true. Take physics, for example. It's all just gnomes really"
So you've found this LiveJournal, you now know what Box Theory is, but you still don't know who I am...? That probably makes you a bored weirdo with nothing better to do on a Saturday night until the internet p0rn's finished downloading, but since you might just be the guy of my dreams I'll keep on typing anyway ;)
My name's Barry and I've just graduated with a First Class degree in Accounting and Finance from Newcastle University. I know the real world's out there waiting to swallow me up, but I'm desperately clinging onto the last scraps of student life whilst avoiding making any decisions about the future. Well, other than the decision that I want to go travelling next year and definitely want to avoid moving back to Peterborough if I can possibly help it.
Oh, and as far as the content of the box goes, yes it is largely depressing and introspective but that's the whole point of me being here (since it's either that or going out into the real world and depressing actual people that I actually know). That said though, I'm not constantly depressed and near-suicidal so don't go worrying for the safety of my wrists or anything like that :P
