About Me

I am quite probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and I don't consider saying that a cliché, as it's actually true, and anyone who knows me can vouch for it. If I have ever been angry with you, or I ever get angry with you, you have done something horribly, horribly wrong, and should run while you still can... chances are you never have though, as the worst I'll generally get is mildly annoyed, heh.

I'm a shy, semi-socially awkward geek, but still lots of fun to hang out with. The more I know/trust you, the more talkative I'll be around you, but until then, I'll just be that quiet girl over in the corner. If you're the only person I know in a large group of people I don't know, I'll probably stay in shy/quiet mode, however.

I consider myself to be well beyond my years, both mentally and emotionally, and as such, I prefer hanging out with older people. Most people who don't already know my age assume me to be at least half a decade older than I am, and I am quite happy and proud about that!

You should also be forewarned that I am not your typical girl/woman/chick/whatever. I'm more mentally male than some guys I know, and very independent, so, while opening doors for me is appreciated, it's really not necessary unless my arms are broken or full of stuff. My "uniform" generally consists of a comfy t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and whichever pair of Sketchers I own that haven't worn out yet. It has been pointed out to me, however, that I am girly in the sense that I am fucking adorable, and I can't argue with that. I have also been known to wear skirts, but only if they have pockets, 'cause I hate carrying a purse, and haven't had to in years. I've got an androgynous personality, whee!

Just because I'm shy doesn't mean I'm weak. I will stand up for what I believe in, and I will not let life knock me down, no matter how hard it tries. I'm stubborn like that. I'm a cynical optimist, I expect the worst while hoping for the best. It works out pretty well, I'm never really, truly disappointed, and I get to be super excited when things go well! Oh, and I can pretty much set up WAMP/LAMP with my eyes closed at this point (that's a geek thing, for those of you who are non-geeks).

I haven't figured out if I take myself too seriously, or not seriously enough, but I'm happy with myself and who I am, and no one else's opinion is going to change that.

Also, I am totally awesome, but you already knew that.
