the drowned girl.

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing? Telling me to give you everything.

About Me


Sarcasm gets me through the day. If you can't handle that, don't bother talking to me.
People with no sense of humor amuse me. If that's you, prepare to be mocked ferociously.
That being said, I am actually a very nice person.
Autumn is my favorite time of year.
I miss the north. I am by no means a southern girl, and I have no intention of staying here forever.
I never hold grudges, and it is impossible for me to hate you.
My favorite memories from high school involve theatre and yearbook. I miss acting, writing, and design.
I have very low expectations of people, because I know you will just disappoint me.
There will be times when I will be blatantly honest with you. Sometimes it will hurt, but I do it because you need to hear it.
I love phone calls and text messages. Give me your number--I'll talk to you until the sun comes up.
I've never been out of the country, but I really want to visit Egypt, Ireland, and Japan one day.
I respect people who are completely honest with me. Half-truths don't count.
Yes, I play video games. I ♥ Final Fantasy.
I will try any weird kind of food at least once.
Make me a mix cd, and I'll be yours forever.

Don't take life too seriously; you'll never get out of it alive anyway. --Mark Twain
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. --Neil Gaiman
Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. --V for Vendetta
What do you do? You laugh. I'm not saying I don't cry but in between I laugh and I realize how silly it is to take anything too seriously. Plus, I look forward to a good cry. It feels pretty good. --Garden State

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet someone who catches my attention and keeps it. Prove to me you're worth knowing, and I will get to know you. Don't waste my time just because you've got time to burn. I don't. Show me something special to you. I want to solve your problems, but I want to mean so much more than that. When I say I'm always there for you, I don't mean I'm going to be a girl of convenience. Prove to me that there is something good left in this world--that not everyone is just using each other as a means to an end. Talk to me about music. Tell me your favorite songs, then explain to me what they mean to you. Tell me why you're unique--why you belong in this world. Make me laugh. Make me cry. I don't care; just be honest with me. Make me believe love isn't just an excuse to get hurt. I'm tired of let downs--don't add yourself to the list. Convince me the world is beautiful. Make yourself matter to me.
