About Me

I am pretty timid when you first meet me, but when I start to feel comfortable and I break out of my shell I can seem pretty outgoing.

I like to play it safe, but I am also willing to try anything at least once. You only live once, don’t want to regret anything.

I have a perfect memory and can remember things that happened years ago and can retell it as though it happened yesterday, so be careful what you tell me… You can never go back on it, or change your story, I will call you out.

I can’t lie, I always tell the truth. It gets me in trouble sometimes because I can’t even tell superficial lies like “I like your new haircut”, or “nice outfit”.

I hate talking on the phone. I think that it is pointless. I would rather see you in person than talk for hours on the phone.

My Interests

I love the season of fall. I love it when the leaves turn orange and red. When the sky is a little cloudy with big puffs of white/grey clouds and the sun is not really there, but you can see a little blue pop right through the lining of each cloud. When the wind is just perfect, not too hot and not cold, and when a gust of wind blows against your body and your hair moves out of the way, at that moment, I always close my eyes and a huge smile comes to my mouth. Then there is my favorite holiday out of the whole year, Halloween. I like to carve pumpkins, even though I have not done that in a couple of years. Next year, maybe.

I like to draw, but I usually end up drawing faces and/or dirty pictures. But sometimes I get the urge to just draw lines that at the end turn out looking like some sort of tattoo. So maybe it is not so much drawing but doodling. But I have been doing that pretty much all of my life.

I like going on long walks and being able to talk out loud and free my mind of all thoughts good and bad. The past two years not having a car has made me able to do this a lot.

…some other interest, I like to read, watch movies, trying out new foods, cooking, bike riding, and coffee. Oh, and wine too!

I'd like to meet:

Everyone

Music:

I can’t really say that I have a favorite artist, it all depends on my mood, but at the moment the top five groups that I keep on listening on my iPod are Deftones, Muse, Arcade Fire, Placebo and Gindermen.And I can say this, I do like to listen to pretty much everything except Country.

Movies:

I had a list of movies that I liked, but I just like to watch movies. I tend to not watch movies over and over again. But I do have a favorite genre, and that would have to be anything with the theme vampires. I also like sappy girly movies that have no meaning whatsoever. If I do watch movies again, it has to do with a season and the weather.

Television:

Being that I am in France right now and I can’t just flip on the WB or UPN9, so my favorite TV shows are a bit limited. Gilmore Girls last episode aired the other day, so that is over for me. But what I still download from the states is Lost and CSI-Las Vegas. What I have been getting into here though on French MTV is Pimp my Ride and Next.

Books:

All throughout my life I hated reading. I never picked up a book unless I had to read it in school. A few years ago, one of my friends was telling me about a book, I think that it was Fast Food Nation, and it just seemed very interesting. And since then I realized that reading can be fun… These past few months I have been reading books back to back. My favorite book that I have read so far is Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite.

Heroes:

I don’t have heroes and I don’t look up to anyone. I don’t know why, I never did.
