Omnia mea, mecum porto --Cicero (All that is mine, I carry with me)

About Me

I'm far too loyal for my own good, I'm afraid of dying from a broken heart because I care far too much about people and this time-bomb of a world, I'm far too imaginative and detest the idea of conformity in all forms, I will disappear very shortly, I am expressive when need be but most of the time I bottle things up and destroy myself. I bore easily and have a constant need for knowledge. I have an uncanny ability to speak in a variety of accents which will not earn me a living. My brain tells my heart to produce what I have seen,felt, or imagined but my fingers fail to comply. to top it off, I'm not the kind of girl that has planned her wedding day since age 8 and I hate all dogs but huskies and if you want to get a positive reaction from me: try saying something heartfelt, honest or abstract, instead of something trite and pretentious.
You Are Surrealism
Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own.
It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy.
You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.
You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world. What Art Movement Are You?

A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well. What City Do You Belong In?Very soon, my raping and pillaging shall commence in:
You Belong in San Francisco
You crave an eclectic, urban environment. You're half California, half NYC.
You're open minded, tolerant, and secretly think you're the best.

Who Should Paint You: Gustav Klimt

Heroes:


You Are From Pluto
You are a dark, mysterious soul, full of magic and the secrets of the universe.
You can get the scoop on anything, but you keep your own secrets locked in your heart.
You love change and you use it to your advantage, whether by choice or chance.
You don't like to compromise, to the point of being self-destructive with your stubborness.
Live life with love, and your deep powers will open the world to you. What Planet Are You From?
