ADD ME | MSG ME | CMNT ME
brothers and sisters,
i am an atomic bomb
my full name is kerin elisabeth helena-mary but kerin is just fine. i'm at the point in my life where i'm freaking out over college applications, my gpa and my art portfolio, also known as my senior year of my high school. after school you can find me either at the library, or napping until my shift at the library begins. i proudly march in an award winning marching band with an instrument that weighs more than the average two year old. once upon a time i sang and played bass for a band with my three best friends, but i've recently taken to spending all my time singing and writing songs on my out-of-tune eighties piano, trying to work up the guts to perform solo. when i was thirteen years old one man showed me that i could be anything i wanted to be instead of what people wanted me to be, and his name is gerard way. i want to go for a degree in illustration and hope that it leads me down some sort of path intertwined with the music scene, like album design or tattoo art.
everyone has to like a few things about themselves to stay sane, so i choose to flaunt my musical and artistic talents, my intelligence and my incredible grammar. i don't smoke or drink; my life has been excellent without alcohol or drugs so far, so why fix what's not broken? i can get along with almost anyone though i'm extremely shy at first and afraid of rejection. i am extremely opinionated and will not easily admit defeat. sarcasm is practically a third language (sign language was the second, by the way, but i'm a tad out of practice). if anyone in this world is flawed, it's me. i'm terrible at managing my time and i either end up procrastinating or late, or both. i have a habit of bottling things up and then just exploding on some kind of emotional rampage. i blush at the drop of a hat.
all of my favorite movies are from the eighties and nineties, see; dirty dancing (why can't i dance like you, jennifer gray? so jealous!), heathers, drop dead fred, the breakfast club and only you. i cry in movies when dogs die but not when people die. i will always complain that the book was better than the movie and insist that you read it first even when i know you won't. i almost always have my nose in a book and won't return it to the library unless it is completely finished, late fees and all. chuck palahniuk is my favorite - read invisible monsters right now. i have seen every episode of america's next top model that's ever aired. if there's any video game i can beat you in, it's ssx tricky for ninendo gamecube, and i think guitar hero is lame.
music would be my life if i could have it my way. i taught myself how to sing and play the piano. i also play the bass guitar and the euphonium.. but no one knows what that is. minor chords are my absolute favorite, specifically e minor and f# minor but i'm not too picky. memorizing music comes extremely easy to me for some unknown reason, i probably owe it to my perfect pitch ear and i don't know how i could live without it. though my old band has had their run, i currently play bass and keys for a live band and get far too much attention for the music that i don't even write. i'm always writing a song or scribbling down lyrics or progressions. i don't really have a list of my favorite bands/artists anymore because i'll listen to anything, but the three albums that changed my life are yellowcard's 'ocean avenue', the rasmus' 'dead letters' and my chemical romance's 'three cheers for sweet revenge'.
my foot will always be tapping the reverb pedal when i'm sitting at the piano. i am a walking encyclopedia of dog knowledge. when i was six years old i was convinced that minnie mouse was real. unless a microwave is involved, i cannot cook for the life of me, and even then i struggle to make something edible. using a petname on me merits you a swift kick in the nether region. i'm afraid of aging, needles, haunted houses and anything that might disable my vision. boys who play instruments and have proper grammar will always score points in my book. it'll be shocking if you ever see me in a color other than black or red. i really don't see what the big deal is about small kids. i love all things raspberry flavored but will not eat actual raspberries. i need a band again because i'm having stage withdrawl.
