About Me


Myspace Layouts
I got this layout from topbun
Hi, they call me Riley. I'm mildly misanthropic ( but don't let it get you down). I love the smell of lemon-scented floor cleaners and freshly cut grass. My favourite weather is liquid sunshine (a day that offers both sunshine and rain). I love cookies -n- creme ice cream and banana pudding. I think lightning is beautiful, and frequently watch it from a safe distance. I feel more at home climbing a tree than I do at a party. I pride myself on healthy self-expression. Individuality is important, but not the kind where you try to be different just for the sake of being different. I can draw a perfect circle and a star without the lines in the middle. I sketch when I'm bored. People are my favourite subjects to draw. Ironic, isn't it? My favourite colour has always been purple, but I enjoy all of them. Especially when they are in rainbow order. I frequently arrange things by colour, shape, size or title. I also tend toward hypochondria. But I am not a hypochondriac. I feel as if I should have been born into another time period; maybe the 1800s. I used to dream every night that I could fly. I get along with animals. I don't kill bugs. Ancient Egypt was awesome. I study hieroglyphics. I'm passive- I hate confrontation. My greatest fears are inconsequential because the are irrational. I believe that love exists. I love poetry and prose that has deep feeling. I think it's important to know as much as possible. I abhor shallow thought. There is a great difference between curiosity and ignorance. I am a curious person. I am not religious or superstitious, but I am also not very attuned to the idea of a solid realm of reality. I generally prefer even numbers, but my favourite numbers are 7 and 27. I like abstract, flowing forms as opposed to rigid boundaries. Similarly, I do not like to be confined to a schedule. I am equally analytical and artistic- it's quite annoying at times. A good speaking voice is very important. I look at people's left eye when I talk to them, and I always draw animals (or side-facing people) facing the left. I have the best friends and family anyone could ask for. I love life. I'll get along with you better if you do, too.
