I'm Gena (pronounced Jeena )
I'm a small town girl without a steady address.
When you sleep in your car you get to pick where you live every night
and I like that.
I get to save money on gas because I don't have to drive to and from home
and I never have to worry about driving home when I'm tired.
I change my hair color and length a lot
I draw on my eyebrows and wear loud makeup
I have plenty of piercings and plan to get tattoos
I wear ripped jeans and whatever the fuck I want.
It's who I am. I'll accept you if you accept me.
People ask me what I want to do with my life.
I want to be be a happy woman in a big city living my dreams
Writing, taking pictures, listening to music, traveling, living
With my piercings, tattoos, hair, and makeup with me the entire time.
One doesn't have to sacrifice happiness and originality for success
And what I want to do with my life is prove that.
I AM HARCORE PRO/ANTI VERY FEW THINGS.
Truth and intelligence comes from understanding both sides of the story.
Indecisiveness is a strength, not a weakness.
You have your opinions. My opinion is what you do is your business
Until it effects someone else. So here's my opinions.
I'm not straight edge.
I drink in moderation on occasion.
If you drink, keep it under control, especially if you aren't of age.
No one likes a drunk 17 year old slurring pick-up lines curled around the toilet.
I support experimentation.
Most of my friends are stoners, and that's their choice.
But you have to know that while you're stoned out of your gourd
the ladybug you've been watching for the past 20 minutes may seem amazing to you
but it's probably not half as fascinating to me.
I'm not vegetarian.
I do NOT support animal cruelty.
HOWEVER
After being vegan for 2 years, I became anemic.
I can either save one animal a year by giving up meat myself
Or save hundreds by staying healthy enough to spread the word.
Though I like to cook and eat veggie foods.
Don’t do it because it’s cool or makes you seem deep
It sounds ridiculous to say “I don’t eat meat because it’s cruelâ€
but you’re fine with your leather belt and fur hood
and the de-beaking of chickens and confining of cows.
Don’t attack humans for their instinct to eat and wear animals.
Do it for the right reasons, get your facts straight
and keep in mind nothing's more annoying than hearing
"oh I can't eat that!"
every 20 seconds.
I'm neither proud nor ashamed of my flaws.
I don’t cover or flaunt my scars.
I don't take pictures of myself and label them "I'm not really that pretty."
I don't think it's necessary to post all over my profile that I have OCD
just because I don't like vegetables and I pick my nails.
The explanation of what’s “wrong†with me is on a need to know basis.
I try to be me, I try to make myself a better person
I know there are some things I can't change.
I‘m not a tough-ass.
I don't “have a boyfriend that I love so fuck off kthxdi."
I love my friends, but I won't "beat your ass down" if you mess with them.
I don't mock people for using acronyms or having common haircuts.
I won't harass you if you ask my what hairdye or makeup I use.
I don't know or care who was the first to do a certain makeup style.
I don’t mind if you use my backgrounds or phrases.
I’m not offended if you think I look like someone famous.
You're human, I'm human, we don't need to out-ego each other.
I'm not famous and don't need to be.
I don't have 1,000,000 friends on Myspace
I don't have Pete Wentz's number
Jeffree Star didn't send me a friends request
I’m not a model
I get more joy knowing I've been places and done things that made me happy
then knowing I've been somewhere or done something people know about.
The best stories say "Those were good times,†not "I'm a bigshot!"
You get respect when I find out you have talent
not when you scream it.
I don’t have a want to be tied down.
As much as I love sleeping next to someone, I don’t believe in love.
I know it’ll be a miracle if I find someone compatible with me by 30
And impossible to find a lifelong companion before I even finish college.
I’m okay knowing you care for someone else and talk to your ex’s.
I think in a world of 6 billion we have more than one chance of happiness.
I’m sickened by the thought of marriage and pregnancy today.
It’s like committing yourself to 100 lbs of cake.
It looks sweet and delicious now
But what about when it’s made you fat and sick and it’s covered in mold?
Having a kid of your own is ridiculous in a world where children starve
Because you wanted to carry on your genetic defects rather than adopt a kid.
It’s not courageous to keep a baby as a pregnant teen rather than have an abortion
It’s irresponsible and unfair to that child and those who pay your welfare.
I'm not horribly political.
I believe in the death penalty in rape/torture/murder cases when guilt is admitted.
I'm pro-choice and pro-stem cell research
Strong believer in gay rights
Against racism but believe illegal immigrants is STILL illegal
and crimes committed by immigrants should be punished more harshly.
If you can't follow our rules or speak our language, leave.
Against animal testing and captivation of wild animals as pets
Against the war
Severely irritated by people who blindly hate the government
I find panhandling to be more respectable than going on welfare
Because you're taking money from those who chose to give
And not forced to give while struggling to survive themselves.
Equal rights for women but not feminist
Against violence
Recycling friendly
And I WILL shove my beliefs down your throat, if you're an ignorant fuck
who doesn't want to donate your organs after death to save a life
because "I wanna keep my organs to myself."
I'm a happy person
I wear black because it looks good and makes me feel good.
Piercings are a symbol of my strength and courage,
Not my pain and weaknesses.
I've never attempted suicide
Life and friends are gifts to me.
I'm not going to give that gift back or take it away from others.
I take all of my mistakes and failures and learn from them.
I'm meant for great things, and I'm going to achieve them if it kills me.
I'm nothing special.
It shouldn't be rare for someone to speak their mind
it should be what everyone does.
I'm not amazing for having holes in my face and not caring what others think.
If you think this body is God's gift to me, being myself is my gift to God.
My makeup and hair reflect only how I feel inside.
It doesn't make me a better person.
I've not accomplished anything extraordinary for mankind.
I simply hope to learn to make others happy without losing myself.
I've been dealt my hand, I've made the best with what I had.
I hate it when people are ashamed to have a myspace.
Face it, most of us can't find people with similar interests
by walking up and asking them.
I have to point out a difference between being scene
and doing something you enjoy which happens to be popular.
Being yourself doesn't have to mean sporting your curly red hair and 4'7 figure.
It means doing what you want and like, and not caring if it's the norm
or completely out there.
There's a fine line between doing something because you think it's awesome
and doing something so people will think you're awesome.
Stay on the right side of that line and we'll be friends.
I don't try to be different. I try to be who I like.
When I find someone who I find absolutely amazing, I figure out what I like about them
and apply that to myself.
That means half of the people out there think I'm weird,
and I'm okay with that.
I treat everyone with the same respect until they give me a reason not to.
If this means being isolated, that's okay.
The people I want to be around don't care about how I look.
My friends know the real me, and that's what matters.
I have a problem with writing people back. Don't take it personally.
I either don't know what to say, or read your message and forgot to reply,
or I'm just flat out shy.
I don't always comment back.
Your profile could take too long to load, I might not be able to find your comment box,
or I just didn't have time.
Believe it or not, I'm a busy girl with a life other than Myspace.
In an attempt to not bore you into a coma, I put most other things about me in my blog.
There's some pretty interesting stuff in there, you should read it =D
I post a few bulletins a week, mostly moral conflicts in my life I want input on.
I don't post whoring bulletins and don't appreciate whoring comments/messages
I REALLY don't like video, sound, giant picture or glitter comments.
You have HTML freedom in my comments for text creativity
Don't make me regret giving you that freedom =)
I'm rarely on any IM services since my computer can't handle more than Firefox.
But if I am on and you IM me, send an introduction of your name and myspace link.
Don't expect me to know who you are by saying "John from Myspace." I have MANY!
