About Me

headrush_lyts

Here I am, a graduate :), still learning about myself, wondering why "I do not do what I want to do, instead, I do what i hate to do." I'll tell you what I know.

1. I am still learning. about myself, about God, about the people around me, about balancing work, family, and friends, about how to live to the best of my ability (which isn't much).
2. I like balance in all things, not extremities.
3. Sometimes I'm a little OCD.
4. I don't like feeling trapped, penned in, or controlled. I'm fairly indepedent, but submissive when i want to be to people I love. I like freedom and dislike too much structure, i.e. routines. I don't even like getting ready the same way every morning; I usually wear varying amounts of makeup and I love how short hair allows so much variety and change. So don't expect me to grow it back out anytime soon!
5. Randomness keeps things interesting. And I love to laugh. (I have a pretty crazy laugh, by the way.) That's why I hang out with my beloved psychos.
6. I'm almost always very busy. I like being lazy, but I like being on the go, too.
7. I'm not good at explaining things or finding the words to say exactly what I mean, even though I talk a lot in an attempt to. Music is a much better communicator, that's why I love it so much. I can almost always find a song & lyrics to match any mood at any time, to express what I am unable to say myself.
8. I'm a deep person. I usually don't change emotions in a flash. Both anger and love take time to build up in me. But once they're there, they don't change or dissappear quickly either. Also, anger, annoyance, or even dislike do not end love. And I don't like being mad at people or having people be mad at me. So if I manage to stay mad for a long time, it's really serious.
9. I think I am a steady, solid, dependable, and not mean-spirited person. Sadly, I usually get annoyed when people are not dependable.
10. It seriously bothers me to not know what other people are thinking. That's probably why I talk so much and I love honest, open people.
11. I try to be reasonable, but I let shyness/fear or pride or hurt or the past affect my reasoning and my actions too often. Of course, my friends have helped me overcome my shyness in so many ways I don't think they even realize it's there.
12. I don't like how money or the lack thereof affects almost everything we do. for example, I will be attending Georgia College and State University in the fall.
13. I'm kind of an overachiever. I don't usually just settle, I'm used to working as hard as I can, or waiting or doing whatever it takes, for the best results or the things I want. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work. But I'm not a workaholic, I make time for fun or laziness so I don't kill myself. Of course, with that mindset, I'll never be the best at anything.
14. I have a lot of interests, but not one specific, ultimate passion. So I don't know what I'm going to do with my life or even what I'll major in. So don't ask.
13. I like to eat puppies and kittens and sometimes premature baby humans.So naturally, I'm not as thin as I'd like to be. But who ever is?
15. I like people (most people) and I like diversity. It keeps things from getting boring. But that doesn't mean I agree with everyone else's beliefs, I'll just love you anyway.
16. I'm embarrassed easily sometimes. I guess that's why I'm an easy target for the HUMC kids. of course, they always keep me on my toes...
17. Love is an action more often than a warm fuzzy feeling.

My Interests

music anything, artsy stuff, reading, hanging out with my wonderful, psycho friends, becoming a music history buff, laughing.
