random crap: marshmellow peeps intrigue me...I never eat them, I just look at them. I am the champion of holding a spoon on my nose. Orange soda makes me happy. I paint my nails a color other than black once in a blue moon. Ya know, you can never have enough puppies and kitties. I love squirrels.
why I like me: I've got goals and an actual desire and drive to achieve them. I dream HUGE, and never "settle", I always try to do better, or do something more important. I'm open minded. I don't notice when people are "annoying" and therefor I am able to like more people. I'm very creative. I can take criticism without getting pissed off. It doesn't bother me when people aren't like me, and I love having a diverse group of friends. I can sing well, and I am thankful for my artistic talents. I'm goofy and enjoy making people laugh.
why I do not like me: I'm an extreme procrastinator. I have numerous pet peeves. I use the word "hate" a lot, but I actually mean it, which is not healthy. I have a very self-defeating personallity. I tease people, though I really mean no harm at all. I'm on anti-depressants. I waste 97% of my time on the computer. I don't seize opportunities because I let fear control me in some avenues. I tend to jump off of bandwagons (read: if something I like gets popular/trendy, I sometimes lose interest) and I think that's very immature of me. I'm very paranoid. While I can take criticism without getting mad, I can't not take it to heart and be hurt. I cry a lot more than I like to admit/I put on a very hard exterior in some cases.
my favorite people in the world(for whatever reason): Roman Dirge, Jhonen Vasquez, Paul Booth, Justin Sane (Anti-Flag), Tim Mahoney (311), Brandon Boyd, Mike Einziger & Chris Kilmore (incubus), Tommy Kovac, Johnny Depp, Andy Watson...
umm I think I've rambled long enough.
