About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorTsalagi, baby! I'm just a Scotch-Irish Cherokee girl named after an elven princess from an epic fairytale land. Maybe that's why I'm a bit of a dreamer, a bit of a romantic (which also makes me a bit of a cynic because true romance requires honesty and open communication which most people are scared of), and just a bit mixed up about who I am. But it wouldn't be much of a life's journey if I knew everything about moi. I'm quirky and unique, or maybe that's just a nice way of saying I'm a big dork who likes weird things. Call it what you will. My name may conjure up visions of elves and trolls, but you'll find no mystical illusions here. I consider myself a sincere and straight forward person. People are way too full of shit and that scares me. I'm a Cancer- tough on the outside, but soft and cuddly if you can bring me out of my shell. I believe in loyalty. I believe in kindred spirits. I believe in love, if only for others and not myself. Sigh. Why can't this be the real world?
