...There's more there than what you hear...

About Me

Well there probably is a lot to say on this subject, but I don't feel like hurting anyone's eyes with the massive globs I'd end up typing, since I'm pretty prone to doing it. I'm a writer at heart. In fact, it's one of the only things with which I allow myself to be indulgent. WHY did you DRINK the LAST of the MILK?!Just for kicks, I can write pages and pages, often to the bewilderment of others. Even though I do it for fun, when I feel the urge come on, it becomes more like an obligation. I used to write just for my own personal venting purposes, but as I've grown older, I've utilized it as a gateway drug to socialization. I've acquired this need for an audience. So, when I feel I've got something entertaining to say, I do it for the sake of any possible audience. And, on top of that, I just want people to like me. So, anyone who ever wants to read some of my stuff is more than welcomed to.. Just ask, and you will receive. I don't say that about many things, though, so I'd suggest taking advantage before I get possessive.I like people a lot, despite the fact that I used to be super shy and scared of the popular kids. But what I learned after I graduated high school is that Boys eat boogers when nobody's watching. I'm not supposed to care about what other people may or may not think of me. Because that takes too much brain power, and who really knows the limit on that? It just blows that I didn't figure out this teenager-ish stuff back when I was in a position to act against it. So, I was a quiet girl who didn't get the crown for Prom Queen. *shrug* The people who took the time to befriend me already knew that I'd bought my own..When I say that I like 'people,' I mainly mean boys. It's probably because I've always wanted an older brother, despite what my friends with older brothers tell me. Apparently, they really push the envelope when it comes to unconditionally loving them, but I don't know that I would ever get tired of someone being protective of me. Not that I give anyone a reason to be. I'm ONLY 22 (*rolls eyes*), and those manipulative, two-timing boys banging down my door for a date are still hurdling the obstacle of birth.Unfortunately, I never got an older brother, but a younger one. So, I get to be part of a mass of four older, overprotective sisters. It's not so bad, though. He tells all his friends that I'm "the nice one."I really love to dance.It's one of those things that I was never into until college, most likely due to teenage body angst, so the thought of some guy feeling me up, no matter how hot he was, was just nasty. But I tell you, college is a great thing, because it opened me up to a lot of stuff, and helped me figure out who I am.Well, wait. That term, "opened me up," could be construed in a "you're a big hoe-bag" kind of way, but that's not what I mean. Sure, the university experience is also known for those sexual types of episodes, but like I said, that's not the awareness I am looking to spread. Err. Ahem. .. ..I've gotten a little bit into hats since college began. My oldest sister looked at me funny when I sported what she termed ‘a Britney hat,” as if "Oops I Did it Again" invented them. I will not, however, indulge in the assumption that I am a hardcore girly-girl, as doing so would make my moods at any given moment seem pretty insignificant. So, sometimes, I wear a “Britney hat.” *shrug* Other times, you’ll be lucky if I get out of my shower towel. ..People will probably tell you that I’m “preppy,” but that adjective would merely imply a particular clothing fetish. And as we’ve been through already, my wardrobe ranges from shower towels, to “Britney hats”, and even nose piercings. As challenging as it may seem to decipher between clothing style and personality, I’d be proud to say that I am a ‘punky’ kind of girl. Sure, maybe a girl that wears a skirt from time to time, who, perhaps, chooses to match her shoes with her shirt, and who doesn’t have an arsenal of metal hanging from her face, but since when did a clothing style become the single determining factor in someone’s character? For your information, I no longer have the nose piercing (it was just the stud, and if anyone says that that is ‘the girly piercing,’ it would be best to stay away from me.), but only because I got annoyed that it was becoming a huge trend, and I hated that people who didn’t look as nice with it as I did were hogging my spotlight. Nothing makes a crooked nose look a little less than a shiny gem, you know? I don’t wear black from head to toe, and I don’t have any tattoos, nor have I ever donned the Mohawk, but I flip people off like the best do, and I can jump around at a punk concert without feeling like a poseur. I will admit that I’ve never crowd-surfed, nor have I willingly been flung into a mosh pit, but that’s only because I’m scared of getting kicked in the teeth by the bottom of someone’s Vans. More pieces than a flying shot glass

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'll never forget what one of my sisters said to me after my first semester of college. Somehow in conversation, it became pertinent to describe the embodiment of my perfect man, and my sister gave herself whiplash when I dropped words like "spikey hair," "skinny," and "skater." "I would've thought you'd go after the kids in ironed polo shirts," she said. .. To such a comment, I wasn't sure whether to be offended and roll my eyes or just marvel at how off it was. I chose the latter option, since it allowed me to analyze the meaning behind it and my sister's perception of me. I ended up with a single prognosis: I was just a very diverse, multilayered personality who would rather look at things rightside-up than upside down (the result of rolling your eyes).Despite how I may dress on a given day, my ideal man is very constant. Skinny skater boys with spikey hair will always be first on my list of things to stare at when in a public place, though I would never be obvious about it. That's because the boys I put on my eyes' pedestal are quickly kicked off when I smell an ego. Sometimes,cute kids find out too soon or too often that other people find them attractive, and then they become conceited. That scars them for life in my book, and then it becomes a personal mission of mine to grind their self-esteems down to nothing -- or just to normal.There's something really hot about a modest, non-drug addicted skater boy. The personality is just really care-free and not caught up in the stupid stuff that too many people get their heads clouded by. Oh, and they're hot, too. Did I mention that? I think I just like the way they dress, though: Tall, skinny kids with spikey hair and tight tee-shirts.. It's quite the fashion breakthrough, if you ask me. For me, they don't even have to skate or know how. "Skater" is just a mindset.Of all the skater/punk boys in the entire world, there are five that are super special to me, and I'd choose them at the drop of a hat (even a "Britney" one when I'm in a girly mood.) All five boys in my favorite band in the land: SIMPLE PLAN. I think they are the sweetest Canadians I've ever seen, heard speak, or watched on TV. I don't even have a favorite; they're all just really chill and nice to people. And the best part is that I've heard them say on more than one ocassion that they're ugly, so that means I'll never have to make them one of my ego-crumbling crusades.Sure, they're all a good five or six years older than me, but I've rationalized that smooth. They're all 27 or 28, depending on when someone reads this, but claim to feel 17, while I am pushing 23, but get told by everyone that I look 17. Therefore, everything's good, because Simple Plan and I are on the same page. *wink wink* ..For a while, I was thinking that perhaps I should feel embarrassed that I have this unnerving affinity for this particular music group, since the self-affirmed music missionaries of the world spit on it, and I'm always the oldest person in the audience. However, I could totally get that last part to work for me.During the openers at one of their shows, I'll be sitting at the back of the venue with some kind of drink (probably water) in my hand, and my band will come out looking for their beer. They'll see me drinking something, assume it's alcohol, and bypass their original thought that I'm the same age as the mass jumping around and shoving by the stage.


After I force my face to look unfazed before anyone notices my jaw gaping, me and the boys will start talking and since they're really friendly people, will invite me to hang out after the show. And the rest will either be the experience of a life time or the beginning of a bond, all thanks to the fact that my bedtime is a little past 9:30.Until said encounter occurs, I believe the only perk to being legal is the liquor.
