This is almost two years old, but I'm leaving it up for posterity:
I love a lot of things, but not enough of them love me back. I like to sit on the sidelines and watch. I was the floater in highschool, that girl who was friends with everybody and nobody at the same time. I still am. People describe me as the "bubbly, perky girl". I guess I am, but I'm also the most bitter, resentful person I know. I can hold a grudge like no other: just ask that girl who pissed me off in grade 2. Effing little bitch stole my swing!
Ok, I'm not that crazy, but isn't the perky/bitter contrast kind of exciting?
I love contrast. Contrast is my favouite principle of design, and my favourite part of life. I'll read "chick lit" and Vogue on the same day as the Business section and Bust. I'm the girly girl who has it out for those girlier than me. Black and white is my favourite combination, and I'm absolutely sure that "opposites attract".
I'm totally visual, and I love movies. Any movie at all is fascinating to me. I love the Oscar-winning variety, but also the bad ones, purely for the novelty of it. Music intimidates me though. I feel that if you say you like a certain kind of music, you are instantly pigeon-holed forever. So many people define themselves in this way. To my advantage, however, I am friends with many of these people, and simply take their lead in this department...and then again there's always the radio.
I prefer to define myself with fashion. Or re-define myself, rather. I love fashion because you can be someone new every day. Life is one big game of "dress-up" for me. I like to stand out and be remembered. That's definetly the reason for the white glasses, and probably the reason for my ugly shoes. There is nothing I love more than ugly shoes...except maybe the people who compliment me on them!
I'm back in design school, see we'll see how that turns out. I'm still working in Niagara Falls and just trying to hold it all together. I plan on moving back to the Big City around April, depending on where and when I get a job. It's so much more fun to play "dress-up" there anyway!
