A Brand New Day

Age: 15
Location: Seattle
What's your personailty like?: I've always found it a bit hard to describe. I can be loud, crazy, optimistic and outgoing and, equally easy, be quiet, pessimistic, reserved, cynical. Actually, the cynicism is a pretty steadfast trait, along with my off-the-wall sense of humor and typically friendly demeanor. I'm extremely expressive; my eyes never lie, I've been told, and I'm not a very good one in the first place. I'm a lover and a fighter, depending on my mood. I have a lot of love to give but no one to give it to, which often makes me bitter. I can get angry for no reason, and happy even quicker. I laugh and cry easily, but I'm hard to impress. Sometimes I think I have problems filling things like this out because I don't fully understand myself, but I like it that way. I keep myself on my toes.
Interesting fact about yourself: I have 7 pets and live with 9 other people. Yes, 7. Yes, 9. I also want to be an actress.

Favorite Store: hm. Salvation Army or any thrift stores, or Wet Seal maybe.
Your thought on
The government: I think its comparable to a bunch of boys playing King of the Mountain, trying their damnedest to be the one who gets up there first and then bragging about it. That's negetive, yes, but I'm definately not one for anarchy; I think that people should be governed, but that the power should not be in the hands of one person. I also think the race for that power is generally bullshit, but that everyone should vote. Because, bullshit or not, its the leader of your country, and you might as well have a say in what idiot you think should win. Like horseraces.
Abortion:Its a woman's choice. Every situation is different. Pro-Choice.
Suicide: I think its sad if a person finds no other options but that very final one. I would never think less of a person for it, rather feel sorry that they thought no one cared, or that they needed that way out. There's always another way, I think, its just about taking the time to look for it.
Gay Marriages:If all people are created equal, all people should have equal rights. Support them 100%.

Why do you think you should be accepted: Because I love you? (And this layout. Its hot.)

Anything else you'd like to say? I named my dog DJ Lunatic 3000, and my hampster Ace of Base. Also, my 16th birthday is in 47 days. Because you all care.
Blurry, but I like the expression.
This was for my friend Zach, you can just see my face better.
