it takes a long time to become young

About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
this has been updated way too many times. currently i'm in this transitional year. real life and the world is beckoning me. who knows if this will be the last place i am before i start to grow real roots. it's a refresher year. no car, just a bicycle, my bus pass, and feet. a year to hopefully solidify my professional status, simplify my life, further my vegetarian ways, explore my creativity and nature, become a true world citizen, and deepen whatever values i lost along the way in LA........you are where you should be...and right now things are great. though i'm literally not in the greatest job or city(philly), i'm getting as much as i can out of all of it. i have great friends and family, though we're all spread out over the country (or countries). i'm fully alive with hopes, desires, and dreams. i'm young and healthy and it's still all possible. what more can you ask for? happiness totally is contagious.....i wanna be the most popular girl....supersonic idiot...totally louise with the side ponytail. it's gonna catch onjen says i can never be a girl next door type. story of my life. that's why i never have relationships. well that and because i have sprint. new theories thanks to jen, mark, my bro, and the lims. but i'm okay with that i didn't want to wear my hear slicked straight, my neck bedazzled with pearls, over my american eagle sweater and pale skin anyways. but who knows if that butterfly effect theory could be right maybe miami would have turned me to a midwestern stepford wife, but la did not. so la. so long plain jane.but ya i'm not bitter.......new headline. basically i decided i should simply come up with a fake career, life, ethnicity, travels. getting sick of defining things in a confined manner or defining things at all. because we are not defined by what we do, where are ancestors came from, or where we live. because who and what we are is constantly changing. here was me before..............old me blurb updating...my new headline, "she's true" by tony lucca. that is my new goal to be that girl in the song. not b/c i want to be this girl that's somebody's muse, but i'm really trying to be true to myself. i'm trying to be genuine, real, and open with my wants, needs, strengths, vulnerabilities, dreams. i think that's totally our ultimate goal to discover and strive to be our actual selves, and accept that. i'm not ashamed to share my depressive as well as blissful moods (look at my new main pic, looking pretty fucking depressed). but all this is simply building on who i am, and i'm proud of that....summarizing who i am without trying to copy my file from friendster...i like to keep people guessing whether it be my age, ethnic background, career, clothing style, type. stability=comfortability=adulthood. i'm appreciating being this age and wandering simply through life. with my time limited here in LA and my unemployed ass will soon have to actually have a career, i'm freakin out. guess i just want to struggle to hold on to adolescence (hence the fav. movies and my new haircut)
