I am here for Friends

About Me

Hmm... bout time I edit this thing.. seeing as how I am now 22. My how time flies really. I am also no longer living in Montreal, my hometown and the town I love and long for daily(aside from NYC, which is for obvious reasons is a close second in my heart). I made the decision to move cross country and have now joined my best friend in Edmonton, Alberta. Wow. It's a culture shock and yet at the same time, it fits. I know I am in the right place for me right now. I guess I will still keep the basic info the same... Here it goes. A little intro to me!I grew up in Montreal. I love the city. It is the best darn place to be, except New York. I always thought I would live there one day, but it's funny how things change, so quickly.If you asked my friends who I am and what I'm about I think the first thing they would tell you is that I am pretty much crazy. The most common question I get asked when I meet new people is "what type of drugs are you on? "The worst part? I don't do drugs. I'm just one of those completely let loose type of people. I can be your best friend or worst enemy. If I'm your friend I am loyal and honest to the end, but I can also be mean and spiteful to all those who cross me. That's just how us taurus girls are.I'm basically a "take-me-as-you-get-me" type of person. I love going out and having fun but at the same time I love staying in with a good book(yes I am a bookworm). After getting totally trashed at my 20th birthday (thank you to my wonderful friends) I kind of shy away from too much drinking, just a few drinks at a time please. No more binge drinking for me. I've been pretty good about it too. Except that time I puked in the McD's back in January. Overindulgence.. look where it gets you.I used to want to be a fashion designer because I have been making my clothes since I was about ten, and I even went to fashion design school for a semester, but after getting into too many arguments with my teachers I realized that my tastes just weren't "up to par", so to speak, with their ideas of what style was. So I moved on to commerce, for a semester, until I realized you neded math for that, so I dropped that notion quite quickly. Next I moved on to three semsters in Social, by far my greatest achievement. Then I toyed with the idea of becoming a hair dresser, but never got around to it. I guess eventually I will land on something I want to do. And until then, I am content to just bounce around.That's another thing about me I guess. I'm very easygoing. I take things as they come and just go with the flow. One of my friends thinks this is a bad thing, that I let people take advantage of my with my easygoing-ness, but really I am a tough cookie when I get pissed or feel taken advantage of. I have had enough dealings with that sort of situation to know when that is happening and I am not afraid to put my foot down.A lot of people when they first get to know me think I am some sort of dumb ditz who should have been blonde. But I am actually quite smart. I just don't always feel the need to portray that. And besides everyone knows its easier to be cute and not so bright than be a gorgeous genius... less intimidating I guess. So I let my smart side show through when I trust the person enough I guess.It's weird because in a way I can be anything for anyone, I am into arts, I draw and paint and write poetry. I am a bit of a rebel with my clothes and hair styles, piercings and tattoos. I can dress up or down for any occasion, I hate sports but love football and NASCAR, I know.. weird huh?I have to say that I have been through a lot of changes to finally figure out who I am (up to this point because I know in like a year from now... maybe even six months from now, I will be someone different, always changing).And that is all I can really think of to tell you about me. I'm sure in time I can figure out more, and I'm sure in time maybe people will want to know more. Who knows right?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Now there's a question.... Salvador Dali... his work inspires me. um... Tinkerbell. She rocks, think about it.. Pixie with attitude, hangs around with the boy who will never grow up... she gets to live with Mermaids and fly... thats the best thing ever. I want to meet Francesca Lia Block, who is an amazing writer, she inspires me to keep going and keep writing even if no one else gets it. But really I just like and want to meet creative people like myself. I'm a little bit.. strange. So anyone who can put up with that.. feel free!I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
