I am here for Friends

About Me

+ Hello. I'm hallie. Nice to meet you.
+ I'm a twenty seven year old woman with quite a Peter Pan complex. My body may grow older, but I doubt I'll ever grow up. (Then again, looking at the world through the eyes of a perma-child is always amusing.)
+I live in the Triad area of North Carolina with my beloved husband, Haytham. We also share our little home with our baby kitties, Freya and Jezebel. We may not have the "perfect" life, but it's a happy one.
+ I'm a plus sized girl, with no shame about it.
+ As a teenager, I never could quite figure out which subculture I belonged to. Then again, in the small town I grew up in, there wasn't much choice. You were either a freak, a jock, a prep, or a redneck. My natural inclinations put me in with the freaks. Even to this day, I can't decide if I'm a metalhead, a goth, or a hippie. (I tend to think of myself as all three on any given day.)
+ I adore music. Always have, always will. Trying to list every artist I listen to would be both impossible and just plain annoying. There's a semi-comprehensive list on here somewhere if you're really that interested.
+ The words "Halloween is over" have no meaning to me. Every day is Halloween.
+ I'm an eclectic type, and my interests reflect that.
+ I enjoy learning to do new things and then never using those skills again.
+ And that's me in a nutshell.

BEFORE YOU ADD ME Please message me and tell me why if I don't already know you. I'm up for meeting new people, yeah, but I hate random asshats adding me just to beef up their friends list. If you don't message me first, no approval for you. And I will not, I repeat, WILL NOT add someone under the age of 18. Forget it.
I also hate emo kids. I eat them for breakfast. So, if you think Fall Out Boy is the bomb, kindly fuck right off. (Also, except for a few people who I forgive for their lack of taste, if you like HIM or Avenged Sevenfold, I want to hurt you, so kindly go away.)
One more thing. If your profile annoys me, and many of them do, I will not only deny your request, but I will also openly mock you.

Check out my friend's band. They ROCK.

Fashion do’s and don’ts according to me

First off, I do not claim to be some kind of fashion guru.  I don't even claim to be able to properly match colors half of the time (which is why most of my wardrobe consists of jeans and tee shi...

Guess who got into their first car accident today?

You guessed it.  Me.  I was driving to work, and the last intersection before you get there is a bit on the dangerous side as the righthand side is basically a blind corner.  I stopped,...
