Me

Woo! Some crap about myself, because I'm not sure what else to put yet.

• I'm in college- it's my second year, and I'm about to finish my fourth semester. It's going pretty good so far. I'm majoring in History, and I'm planning on getting my doctorate in one go, and becoming a professor at a four-year university. I'm in the Honors Program and the International Studies Club.

• I have a somewhat odd taste in music. I don't tend to like the artist, but rather certain songs. If I find a song I like, I'll write it down, listen to it until I hate it, and/or buy it. I do have one favorite band though. Yellowcard is my favorite band because I can always find a song that is relevant to the situation I'm in. I'm feeling lonely at college? Empty Apartment. My friend is being a jerk? Five Becomes Four. I want to give myself goosebumps and/or make myself sad? Ten. I'm thinking about Spider-Man? Gifts and Curses. Yellowcard is the most legit band ever. The song Life of Leaving Home is like, my personal anthem. Anyway, I like a lot of different stuff. Classical, pop-punk, dubstep, techno, alternative, certain raps, certain metals, a cappella, and there might be others, but I think that's it.

• I have one brother. He's older than me, getting married in a few months, and is studying for the PRAXIS. He's got a job lined up to be a high school history teacher after he passes.

• I'm a girl, but I don't particularly act very much like one. I have all boy cousins, and grew up with them, so I'm not really used to doing particularly girly things, like wearing makeup and dressing properly and other stereotypical girly stuff. Stuff I do like is reading, watching shows and movies, soccer, history, and browsing the Internet (YouTube mostly).

• The only thing I like shopping for is shoes. Adidas Sambas are my favorite type of shoe, because I have really flat feet and I don't even have to break those in. I prefer Nike Mercurial soccer cleats because along with really flat feet, I have really small feet, so I wear children's sizes. The Nike children's cleats have this lining on the inside that is supposed to accommodate growth and is also really good for my nonexistent arches and bad knees.

• I can sort of draw. I can draw weird fantasy looking fishes (yes I know the plural of fish is fish, I just like saying fishes because it's more fun), dinosaurs, single eyes, halves of butterflies, not-very-good faces and heads, legs, the occasional hand, smiley faces, and Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls (don't judge that's a pretty cool show).

• I have short blonde hair, hazel eyes, am white, am (annoyingly) short, am the slightest bit fluffy since practically all I eat is pasta, and I'm very very quiet. I have bouts of social anxiety, am 84% introverted (according to the 16 personalities text online), and I don't know how to interact with other people in social settings. When I'm talking to people online, or over text message or email, I'm an absolute delight, but once I'm with actual flesh-and-blood humans, I'm completely useless.

• My favorite colors are green, blue, and purple.

• I have a dog named Scout. He's a white lab, and he's adorable and goofy and I love him to death. He's going to turn four in December. He loves water, specifically the hose, and he can chew through anything. My grandmother hates him because she thinks he's going to eat her diva dog Molly, who is very tiny but a massive bitch who would eat Scout sooner than he would even go near her. She's vicious and bites everybody, but my grandma thinks she's pitiful and weak.

• I got into anime about five years ago. A few of my friends turned me on to it. My mother doesn't like anime, or a lot of things that I like, so I had to watch in secret and wasn't able to watch a lot until I got into college. The first anime I ever watched was Soul Eater. I've watched a bunch of others so far and I have that list and a list of ones I plan to watch somewhere in this weird book thing. I doubt anyone's gonna read this, but if anyone does, feel free to recommend some.

• I love reading. By the time I was in third grade, I was up to a high school reading level. My two favorite books are The Outsiders and Pride and Prejudice. I love everything by Rick Riordan. I also love Little Women. One of my favorite series is Star Wars: Republic Commando. I also like the Divergent series, the Hunger Games series, the Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series, Harry Potter, The Inheritance Cycle series, and the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force series.

So, yeah, that's about it. I'm kind of boring, I know.
