About Me

Check out my music at:
http://www.myspace.com/velvetstaircase
I am unique and don't change for anyone but myself.
I do not discriminate against people for their sexual preference (I find a lot of gay/bi people to be quite smart and real, and I love people who aren't fake. Just be yourself)
I am very shy in person and have been my whole life. It's something that I would like to get over, but for me, it's apparently easier said than done. A lot of it is also due to my issues and problems (low self-esteem, depression and panic disorder to name a few..) but I am still quite friendly...I just can't make friends easily because I feel no one really understands. I've always felt disconnected from this world, like I don't belong in this lifetime or something.
It's hard to explain, so I won't get into it.
I tend to get into bad moods where I hate everything and just want to be left alone, but it eventually passes and I am fine again. If I have offended anyone because of my moodyness I am sorry.
Also, I love when the sky is all gloomy, like just before a storm when the clouds are dark gray and there is no sun....something about those days puts me in a peaceful/good mood.. I love it.. I think it's beautiful. My Mom has called me Morticia because of it and also because I like light makeup that makes me look pale. haha.
The music playing on this MySpace profile occasionally changes, so come back soon if you'd like to hear more!
ALSO: Please don't request to add me as a friend unless I know you or we have similar interests. And if you're a band, please at least be in a similar genre that I like. I don't want to come across as mean, cause I'm not.. I'm just getting too many friend requests and I'd like to have something in common with ya :P Thanks :)
1 MORE THING: Just because someone is depressed and cuts themself, it does NOT make them "emo" ..personally, I HATE that word and what it has become today. So if you label someone emo just because of that, you're fucking stupid!

What Do You Need in Your Life? [dark pics]
You need understanding.
In your life there has been many people that could never seem too comprehend your personality. Now you have either become an out-cast because of their narrow minds or you have adjusted yourself to them, and never letting them see who you are deep inside. You now think that no one will ever understand you and you hate that fact. Though you are scared of what the effects might be if you would decide to let someone in so you keep a safe distance that you both curse and bless.

-Billy Critzer (Oct 1, 1981 - June 30, 2006) ..I had a crush on you throughout high school but I'm not sure if you knew.

I didn't see you much lately but you were a sweet guy. I'll always have the memories of us dancing at a club in Myrtle Beach in 2001. I'm disappointed that you had to go. We all miss you.. especially my brother, you were his best friend for about 10 years. Please rest in peace and help us to stay strong. See you again someday...
-AND the couple TRUE friends I have who stand by me and are there to listen when I need to talk...thank you so much, you are real heroes.
