Due to a number of moves, some serious pain through my family, bad genetics, and a life of backstabbing, I've turned into not the greatest person in the world. I'm bitchy, opinionated, self-absorbed, ignorant, and harshly truthful. However, I've taken a look at some people I used to know and be friends with, and I've come to the conclusion that I could've been a lot more messed up than I am, and I'm thankful for what I've turned out to be and who I've met on the way.
The first thing I have to say about myself other than what is above is that I am one of the biggest nerds in the world. With that said, I can now delve into how I am categorized that way. For one, as you'll notice, I have a knack for, you know, grammar. Some people haven't heard of it, but I have, and I've managed to perfect it to an art. It makes me grin. Two, video games and computers are my passion. My favorite games (I use that term loosely) are Zelda, Final Fantasy, Mario, and Guitar Hero. Yes, I love Guitar Hero. The only game I don't own is Rock the 80's, and that mere fact makes me unhappy. However, I'm attempting to overcome it in time.
The next thing I'd like to say is that I am in love with music. I am a huge fan of rock music of almost any sort. I love Linkin Park. They're probably my favorite band in the world. I'm also fond of Evanescence, and I think Amy Lee has a gorgeous voice. At the same time, however, I enjoy Flogging Molly. Then we also have Dragonforce, Apocalyptica, and David Arkenstone, which are totally different genres. I'm a very messed up person with music taste. But it's in a good way, so it's okay. I love to sing, and I can play piano, flute, sax, oboe, clarinet, piccolo, and trumpet. I own a piano, flute, sax, clarinet, piccolo, and trumpet. They make me happy. Music keeps me sane, and it's very easy for me to get caught up in a good song.
I made some very foolish decisions last year. I hung out with the wrong people, drank excessively, became addicted to cigarettes, and became the poster child for illegal substance abuse. It was really bad. I've also had a past of depression, self-mutilation, attempted suicide, and a need for therapy. Since I've gone through all that, I've been extremely content with life despite a few breakdowns that never last very long. I have panic attacks periodically, but they don't last long. I'm very happy with my life at the moment. I enjoy the school I attend with the exception of a few minor complains of the American school system, and I'm currently learning a foreign language, which makes me grin a lot.
My friends are awesome. I don't have many, and it's taking awhile to get the others back, but what friends I do have rock. Without my friends, I'd be a goner. I could write a novel about how amazing each individual is, but I'll shorten it to this: Guys, you know who you are, thank you so much for being there for me and supporting me through everything I've had to go through thus far in life. To my newer friends: Thank you for putting up with my crap. I know it's a lot to deal with. :]
