Intro

Who am I? Hmm...interesting question. My age isn't important, since I find many people love to place people into certain categories based solely on that, but I am fairly young. Yes, I do have two X chromosomes, which for all those who have no idea what that means, I am female. *Shock* Yes, that's true. As far as basics go, I'm an author and a very philosophical thinker. Which means you'll probably find a lot of my thoughts connected to both those developing feelings. However, I often surprise myself with my own feelings and thoughts, so there is a high possibility that a completely different type of thought will magically appear throughout my posts. As far as my likes and dislikes go, I enjoy works like Homer and Shakespeare because of the poetic flow of their art. I enjoy many types of music, from past to present. As far as good thinking songs go, I prefer classical for it many styles. Listen to it carefully and you'll find it can go from sad, to happy, to firey, to magical, etc. As a hint, in case you haven't quite realized it, the types of music you listen to often can aid or hinder your creativity levels. Anyway, back on topic, welcome to my blog. Enjoy and feel free to comment.

I've started this blog basically as a place to share my thoughts and feelings and maybe help someone along the way. Life is not easy...whether you're a teenager or not. Life is never perfect, you will always have your ups and downs, but we've all got to learn to make the best of it, no matter what life throws at us. Think of this blog as something like a diary, everything written will be how I felt, thought or saw. I will write about myself, my family and my life. There may be things you don't agree with, such as religion, beliefs, culture, etc. All I ask is that you respect my opinions, as I will respect yours. If you need to contact me, leave a message or comment on this blog, maybe with your email address or a link to a website so I can contact you. I will gladly answer any question you may have, to a certain point, but I'll do my best to answer those right away. ;)

Here's something I wrote a while ago, that I'd like to share with you. It's kinda like a reflection of my thoughts. It's not half bad...at least I don't think so.

Nothing Needed...but yourself.

Many people go through life without realize what life, in fact, is. They act like mindless zombies following their leader, or trying to be the leader. Everyone out there is a zombie. To get further in life many must 'suck up' to the leaders. We're all stuck in a vortex, some struggle to climb out and on top, some simply go with the flow. And there are the rare people that don't care what kind of vortex we're in and continue to do their own thing. Let's just say I'm a mixture of them all. I don't strongly follow one and forget of the others. Often i want to hide and other times i want the spot-light to myself. The only way to survive this vortex is to stay true to yourself. Be whom you are and create the fourth option. You may just surprise yourself.

Who am I?

To be honest lately i've been asking myself that very question. I'm a writer, reader, studier of things and people. I think i have, at least, some sort of intellect. I'm a wall flower, a diva, a complete pain in my friends sides. I guess the easiest thing to say is I'm a mixed patchwork of a quilt, adding more as my life continues. Building on life experiances. My dreams and goals are continually changing as i gain a new understanding of this world i call my own. But who am I? There are the facts. My favorite colour is blue. i love sports and i love to read. I love learning and thinking. My book shelf is full and my dresser has gained several books as its companions. I love travelling, different types of cuisine, etc, etc, etc. I've recently discovered something about myself i've kept hidden, even from myself. I am an anti-social, socable person. I don't often care or feel a need for people, but everynow and then i do need them. I'm not trying to say i'm clingy or that i hate people, I just don't like building or creating friendships on other's terms, not my own. But when i do form friendships, we're very close. We get depressed if we don't talk to eachother for a long period of time. Which leaves a question about how lonesome i get. I often find myself sitting in a corner, content at just being alone with myself, but at the same time i long for the companionship of my friends. Weird, huh. However, i feel as if i am normal. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. What is, then i ask, normal? Everyone has their own twisted sense of normal, so how can you define it?
