About Me

No one life can be summed up in a short paragraph. Except mine. I am seventeen, soon to be eighteen, and I can't wait. I don't know why, though. Birthdays don't mean much to me except presents. It's not like I feel any different than the previous years. Which is disappointing, let me tell you. I wake up every year on june 4th with the expectation that this year something incredible will happen to me and I'll be this whole new intriguing person. But life just goes on, dull and uneventful as always. I guess many would say it's my fault. I would agree. You have to make things happen in your life, you can't just sit around and wait for that life altering moment to suddenly happen. Despite this wise knowledge I am stuck. I have always been diffident and, embarrassingly, a coward. There has never been a moment in my life where I've gone for something I've wanted, and so disappointment is the natural conclusion. But, although life around me is soooo boring, I can amuse myself very well with stupid little things. Like sometimes I'll get so bored I'll just go nuts and pretend I am this whole different person. I even sometimes do cool accents. Or, if I'm feeling whimsical I will spin around and around and around until I'm dizzy and then do it again. Or I'll dance to the muzak in the grocery store. When I am around people who don't know me and will never know me I feel anonymous and able to do whatever I please. There is a kind of freedom in moments like that. i am never quite the same from day to day.

My Interests

My dominant interests are reading and writing. I love books. I thrive on them and the stories and lives contained therein. I love the smell of a brand new book, but I am also dazzled by the musty scent of an aged, well-loved novel. It's silly sometimes, and obsessive ( I read, on average, 8 books a week) but it is who I am. At school, I am involve in colorguard, which I also adore. Three years on it and now I try to recruit new members all the time.

I'd like to meet:

everyone and anyone. Friends, whatever.

Music:

everything pleases me but for rap. Rap is not music. Im sorry, but it's not.

Movies:

The Amityville Horror (the original), Wizard of Oz, Ladyhawke, Grease, Rebel without a Cause, West Side Story, Lord of the Rings, THe Harry Potter movies, Save the Last Dance. And the BEST EVER: The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Television:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, One Tree Hill, Smallville, Gilmore Girls. I'm also stuck on Joan of Arcadia and the only good reality tv show, What Not to Wear.

Books:

Any and all. But, among the classics, I love Catcher in the Rye, Wuthering Heights, Crime and Punishment, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Siddhartha, Demian, The Stranger, The Metamorphosis, The Awakening, Brave New World, Pride and Prejiduce. I HATE 1984.
