All About You
Three positive adjectives to describe yourself: Daring Convincing Resourceful
Three negative adjectives to describe yourself: Loutish Tenacious Impressionable
Strengths: 1. Strong leadership skills, I’m good at planning things out in the most efficient manor, and I’m outspoken when I want or feel some need to be 2. adaptable - moving from town to town while your parents decide who’s better fit to take care of you opens your mind to all sorts of possibilities, 3. Fairly intelligent, have been reading way above my level since I was 7, 4. Self-sufficient, though it’s not terribly difficult to do in a big city with virtually no adult supervision 5. Open-minded, compassionate, curious about all things…
Weaknesses: 1. That last strength is probably the biggest one, I have probably the worst judgment of character of anyone I know, so I have as late become rather more cynical - 2. I’ve always been a bit untrusting, but sometimes I think it’s more fun to just ride it out and see how far the rabbit hole leads…3. I’m sometimes accused of being reckless and irresponsible, caught up in what *I* want, inconsiderate of others’, usually by a third, uninvolved, meddling party, I do have to admit I don’t always consider *all* the details and feelings of people involved, as much as I try to - though I don’t tend to think personal feelings should get involved at all, but a more universal kind of compassion 4. I have a Juvenile Criminal Record: Petty theft, vandalism, loitering, drug use 5. SARCASTIC, though, I don’t know, I think it’s sometimes rather fun, but it’s so easy to cross the line…even unintentionally

What song or quote can you best identify with?:
you can tell
from the scars on my arms
and the cracks in my hips
and the dents in my car
and the blisters on my lips
that i'm not the carefullest of girls
you can tell
from the glass on the floor
and the strings that are breaking
and i keep on breaking more
and it looks like i am shaking
but it's just the temperature
but then again
if it were any colder i could disengage
if i were any older i would act my age
but i dont think that you'd believe me
it's not the way i'm meant to be
it's just the way the operation made me
and you can tell
from the state of my room
that they let me out too soon
and the pills that i ate
came a couple years too late
and ive got some issues to work through
there i go again
pretending to be you
make-believing
that i have a soul beneath the surface
trying to convince you
it was accidentally on purpose
i am not so serious
this passion is a plagerism
i might join your century
but only on a rare occasion
i was taken out
before the labor pains set in and now
behold the world's worst accident
i am the girl anachronism
and you can tell
by the red in my eyes
and the bruises on my thighs
and the knots in my hair
and the bathtub full of flies
that i'm not right now at all
there i go again
pretending that i'll fall
don't call the doctors
they've seen it all before
they'll say just let her crash and burn she'll learn
the attention just encourages her
and you can tell
from the full-body cast
that you're sorry that you asked
that you did everything you could
like any decent person would
but i might be catching so don't touch
you'll start believeing youre immune to gravity and stuff
don't get me wet
because the bandages will all come off
and you can tell
from the smoke at the stake
that the current state is critical
well it is the little things, for instance:
in the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses:
please excuse her for the day, its just the way the medication makes her...
i dont necessarily believe there is a cure for this
so i might join your century but only as a doubtful guest
i was too precarious removed as a caesarian
Do you care if you are voted as a band or solo artist?: Doesn’t matter!
