*Don't pretend - I think you know I'm damn precious - And hell yea - I'm the motherfuckin' princess*

About Me

Where to start? As a song lyric goes, "Such a strange combination between a woman and a child." My name is Scarlett. Currently I call Trumbull "home" and live there when I'm not in school in West Haven. I'm a junior at the University of New Haven pursuing a bachelors in Criminal Justice (concentration: Victim's Administration). I look to graduate in May '08 and go onto law school. I'm pursuing a career as an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting specifically in the sex crimes/domestic violence/child abuse unit. It's a tough job, but it's something I'm passionate about.
Although by now I've spent more than half my life in Connecticut, I'm still a New Yorker at heart, and have the attitude to boot. I'm mostly Irish (as if my affinity for Baileys didn't give that away...), and damn proud of it! Most people would call me a "goth" and I wouldn't disagree with them, although I prefer the term "dark romantic". In the end it all means the same thing: I appreciate both the light and dark sides of life. I'm a walking paradox and because of this, I consider myself to be an open and non-judgmental person. I take people how they are and expect the same respect back.
While my humor can run sarcastic and morbid, I truly am a fun loving person. I've been described both as a chill, relaxed, and low key, and as adventurous, outgoing, and unpredictable. And both are true. One night, I'll just feel like being a homebody on the couch, or sharing a quiet evening with a few friends and a few drinks, and then next I'm ready to be a fiery social butterfly flitting around a club. The range of my interests and hobbies are just as varied. I like spending lazy afternoons curling up with my cats and a book, or piling blankets on the couch and watching a marathon of movies or tv shows. When I get the creative spark, I like to channel the inspiration into poetry, stories, or collages. I used to be an English major and still hold literature, poetry, and theatre close to my heart. I love going out and seeing plays. I'm a dork who appreciates the written word, word choice, style, grammar, flow, symbolism, and metaphors. The down side to that is people who are bad spellers or have poor grammar tend to irritate me very quickly. I love taking walks both in the sun, rain, or snow, just to appreciate nature, and sitting by the windows when a thunderstorm rolls in. I'm fascinated with tornadoes and want to amateur storm chase in the future. I love stargazing, sitting by campfires, swimming in the ocean, and watching sunsets. I enjoy going up to my dad's hunting club, going on the ranges and getting in some target practice, as well as I like canoing, fishing, and camping. I love exploring cemeteries, castles, and other places of historical significance. I enjoy roadtrips, or aimless drives into nowhere. Music moves my soul and I can't live without it. I have a very vivid (and sometimes overactive) imagination and sometimes end up lost in a daydream. I'm skilled at Tarot and Dream Interpretation. People also say I'm the goddess of back massages. I love going out to goth clubs and dancing. I co-host and do promotions for Necropolis @ The Spider Cafe (Stamford) . I also co-host and am a promoter for the DarkStar Festival (Stamford) . I'm a regular at Ulteria @ Partners (New Haven) . And I also sometimes hit up Abstraction (Mineola, NY) and QXT (Newark, NJ) . I love dying my hair and painting my nails crazy colors, and I can't live without my black eyeliner. I've turned into quite a gamer. My top addiction is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360). It's my crack, over a year after it's release and I'm still hooked. I've also been enjoying Wii Sports and Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii and Animal Crossing on the Gamecube. And every now and then I'll go totally retro and pull out my old NES or Atari, cuz I'm just cool like that! I love nature and animals. I live with 2 cats, a beta fish, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, and 70 something scorpions... And I'm totally a pirate! YAR!!
At the heart of everything I love my friends and family. The people I care about are my life and my support system. I wouldn't be here today without them. ("To everybody that I'm running down the road with, y'all my family, I know that you know this.") And I wouldn't be complete without my other half, Craig. He's the wonderfully beautiful and sweet man that lights up my life and my heart. I've never smiled or laughed so much in my life before him, nor have I ever loved someone as much. I'm so lucky to have him because he's the best boyfriend a girl could hope for.

I'd like to meet:

Cool people to talk to and hang with. I love talking to people, getting into deep conversations and learning more about another person and yourself. I like to get to know intelligent and openminded people. Nothing can piss me off more than a judgmental, close minded, shallow person. Everyone can be fascinating if they dare to be themselves.

BANDS/ARTISTS: PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO ADD ME. The bands/artists I do have on my friend's list are either my very favorite ones, or bands that my friends are in. I ask this not because I'm picky about music (just the opposite, I'm very eclectic), but because I don't need my bulletin board being filled up with posts about a band from across the country playing some local show that I obviously will not be attending. If you want to promote to me, then send me a message to check out your music with a link to your band webpage. If I like the music, rather than friend you, I'll bookmark the link and check the page for updates.

Celebrities I'd like to meet: Mariska Hargitay, Johnny Depp, Triple H, HBK, Vince Mcmahon, Matt and Jeff Hardy, Dane Cook, Denis Leary, Criss Angel, and seven of the hottest and most talented men around (Ville Valo, Sean Brennan, Orlando Bloom, John Cena, and Zac, Isaac, and Taylor Hanson)
