(no subject)
Name: mandie.
Age: seventeen.
Birthday: november twenty-first.
Race (white, black, asian, ect.): white. norwegian, swedish, and lithuanian.
State: washington.
your opinion on...explain your reasonings.
abortion: i'm pro-choice. i could get into super detailed reasons why, but i won't. feel free to ask me if you so desire. it's a woman's decision. let her do what she wants.
self-destruction: if this refers to self injury, then i'm theoretically against it, but i know it's difficult to stop if you're involved in it. i've gone through bouts of cutting and i know it's not as simple as "oh, this isn't too good, i think i'll stop."
drugs: if you're not going to kill yourself doing it, i think it's okay. things with huge risks, such as e and heroin, i don't see why people subject themselves to that. marijuana, on the other hand, i think is fine, as long as it doesn't interfere with your real life.
drinking: if you're responsible and not stupid about it, i think it's fine. don't drink and drive. don't drink yourself sick. don't act like an idiot when you're drunk. that's about all there is to that.
the 80's: fantastic music. i can't say i remember much from that time, though. i was all of four years old.
parents: i get along with mine for the most part. can't complain. they're paying my tuition.
gay marriage: wholeheartedly support it. if it's love, they should be able to get married.
sex before marriage: whatever you desire. i've had sex, and i'm not married.
briteny spears: i hate seeing pictures of her ass on the covers of magazines saying "look! cellulite!" she's not perfect. no one really is. i dislike her music, but i think she's getting a bad time of the press.
christina aguilera: eh. a little bit whoreish. again, bad music.
jessica simpson: an idiot. i don't care if she's "playing it up" for the cameras, or whatever. i hate people who downplay their intelligence. it doesn't make you look cute. god.
avril lavigne: she makes horrid music. she's not cute. and she looks the exact same in every photograph taken of her. i realize i am generalizing here, but as is often the case when i generalize, i don't care.
choose...
coke or pepsi: neither. i don't drink pop. i drink water and milk.
day or night: night.
summer or winter: winter. i have enough homework over the summer, and i'd rather be too cold than too hot.
shorts or pants: pants. i don't like shorts. i prefer knee length skirts, though.
god or satan: may i sum up my religious beliefs with a lyric from modest mouse? "i was in heaven, i was in hell. believe in neither, but fear them as well."
single or taken: i'm taken. fifteen months.
boys or girls: i like both. pretty boys and pretty girls.
lights on or lights off: lights on, generally. i've read too many ann rule books for me to be completely comfortable in the dark.
favourites...
movies (at least 5): fall of the house of usher, the pit and the pendulum, antitrust, newsies, and the doors. i love old movies, and i would be vincent price's groupie if i lived in the day. ditto to jim morrison.
bands (at least 10): i hate listing bands. i feel like i have to say the right answer. anyway, let's see. against me!, fiona apple, the june spirit, tribalistas, matt skiba, nightwish, o-zone, guns 'n roses, ben folds, audioslave, silverchair, and the like. i do have a variety.
books (at least 2): the fountainhead by ayn rand, the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde and the pillars of the earth by ken follett.
songs (at least 3): walking is still honest by against me!, freshman by the verve pipe, pure morning by placebo, my my metrocard by le tigre, and dragostea din tei by o-zone.
parent (choose, and why?) my dad. he's my role model. if i could do absolutely everything in his life that he did, i would die happy. he's brilliant and we discuss world events and history whenever he's home (he's a pilot, so he's gone a lot).
now you...
what's your favourite thing about yourself: i like how i'm not afraid to tell someone how i feel, but i'm not obnoxious about it and i do my best to avoid a scene. i'm also crazy about grammar, which i feel is a good thing.
what's your least favourite thing about yourself: i can be very moody. i'm also a perfectionist, which is generally not a good thing to do, especially since i procrastinate like no other. i'll stay up all night the day before a project is due because i put it off, but i can't sleep if it's not perfect.
MAKE ME LAUGH!
show me a funny picture or yourself or someone (something) else. :)
my butt and one of my best friends, after i pulled a very suave "fall off the baby motorcycle and have the gas still going so it's flying all over the damn place while i desperately try to hold onto the handle so it doesn't veer into the blackberry bushes" move. see the two motorcycles in the background? yeah. the little one.
BE BEAUTIFUL!
now, be beautiful for us...and show us at least 2 pictures of yourself.
