... Uh oh I ran out of threads to vote in!!
Basics
Name: Shanna but I typically go by Lethe among other things.
Age: 23 as of January 5th
Gender: Female
Talents? Hobbies?: Used to be I could rattle things off for talents but I've gotten pessimistic lately. Hobbies wise I like listening to and singing music, playing the piano, reading, watching anime, playing video games, and doing graphic stuff like icons and the sort.
The Past
Describe your childhood: I've moved around allot ever since I can remember. I thought it was happy enough at the time but now that I look back on it it seems rather empty and lonely. Here I am an adult and I realize I'm not entirely certain how to be properly be really good friends with people. Then again I'm good at over analyzing things. I was quite the tomboy growing up and I remember one clear occasion where I told kids at a school to not bother knowing my name and just call me tomboy as it was easier that way.
I'm the second oldest of seven children but due to divorce and other things I actually spent a good six years or so as an only child. My youngest sister turned seven last year and honestly she doesn't feel much like a sister but at my age that's to be expected I think.
What is your favorite childhood memory?: Is it cheating to say that I don't really have one? Playing video games while sitting on my first step-father's lap was nice though. I hate to say nothing really sticks out.
Did you have a favorite toy when you were little? If so, what was it?: Didn't really have one of those either. I did enjoy collecting horses for the longest time be they Grand Champions or My Little Ponies.
Did/Do you collect something? (For example- stamps, cars, dolls...): Grand Champions and My Little Ponies. I lost my MLP collection when I was little though. Some neighbor girl claims I said she could have them and so they made me give them to her. The memory still ticks me off. Oh that should go down below shouldn't it?
Describe a memorable...
Joyous Event: I guess you could say the birth of my youngest sister. She's always been my baby so it's great having her around.
Emotional Event: That would be her surgery. She was born with a condition that meant the bones in her head couldn't grow because they were already fused together. They had to go in and surgically fix things which was sad because she wasn't even a year old at the time. I refused to go into the hospital to visit her because seeing her so fragile and bandaged up just tore me to pieces.
Exciting Event: I really can't think of anything. I'm afraid my life really hasn't been that exciting despite the amounts of drama. I did enjoy going to music camp and it was exciting that I got chosen for the honors choir on my first year. Being chosen to represent my high school as one of two alto's at district choir was another thrill and that happened two years.
Scary Event: Scariest I can think of happened when I was about twelve or thirteen. We were at a summer camp of sorts and I was off by myself (not an uncommon thing) and I decided since it was hot I'd go swimming. Downfall is I was fully dressed and couldn't particularly swim. To this day I'm not really sure how I didn't drown as I came rather close to it.
Regretful Event: Besides having moved so often? When I was sixteen we moved again and I never told this one guy I'd liked for a while that I liked him. Part of me wonders if perhaps he'd liked me too and if maybe things might have been different if I'd said something back when I'd had the chance. I'll never know now oh well.
Tragic Event: Besides the surgery mentioned above? When my first-step dad and my mum broke up... he took my half brother and sister and left town. My Step-grandfather at the time dumped me on our doorstep in the middle of the night when this happened. After all I was just the step-daughter and not important enough to take along or fight for.
....
And there's also the time when I was about sixteen or so. I was riding a four wheeler and got into an accident of sorts. I mostly tore one of the main ligaments in my left leg and life's not entirely been the same since. I walk with a limp still and apparently I've damaged the meniscus(menisci?) as well now.
Out-of-the-ordinary Event: My life seems pretty ordinary to me if a little soap-operay on the drama side.
Life-Changing Event: My current step-dad and mum were for the longest time big on physically discipline and years ago I decided that I wouldn't let them or anyone see me cry as I refused to let them see such a weak side of me. I've always been strong-willed and stubborn you see. I think there's maybe been a handful of times since that I've broken that resolution in 6+ years.
The Present
How do you think others view you?: Strangers probably only see me as quite and reserved. I don't like being out in public much lately. Friends will tell you I'm upbeat, Straightforward, and trustworthy with an idiot's sense of humor.
What makes you stand out from other people?: Honestly? I don't think I stand out in anyway. If you used that measure tape that Mary Poppins has it'd probably say something like "absolutely un-amazing and unassuming in every way"
How do you view your family? Describe it's current situation: My family and I don't get along hardly at all in our views both religious and political. Despite this now that I'm an adult mum and I actually get along a little better but more on a friend level than a parent-child level. I know there's love there but sometimes it's hard to remember.
How do you view your friends? Describe it's current situation: Despite the large distances between me and the few friends I have they mean the world to me and I'd do almost anything for them.
Things have been rather strained lately though and I'm only really comfortable talking to a few of them at the moment which is a little saddening.
What are your views on love?: I love, love but love hates me to death. I'm a big romantic but I've yet to have a truly successful relationship. People tell me it's not my fault I've just not met the right people but it's the only common factor so surely it plays a part somewhere.
What are your views on life in general?: Live life while you can just in case you're wrong and don't get a second chance. I say that but I'm a computer worm who spends most all her time attached to her laptop. Oh well I guess that's just how things work sometimes.
Who are your role models? Why?: One of my friends she's so different from me. Much more spontaneous and just generally amazing to be around. I wish I could be more open like her.
What is something that you feel passionately about?: Rights. I'm really big into civil rights things like abortion and gay rights are really important to me. (My family has the opposite view which strains things considerably)
The Future
What are your dreams or goals?: I don't really have any. I'm rather laid back almost ridiculously so. I'll just be happy to continue on life in a similar manner. Getting a decent job and staying close to friends. I've kind of wanted to be a housewife but that doesn't seem like a probable thing considering.
What is one thing that you would change about yourself?: My mediocrity? My pessimism? There's far too many things I can think of.
What is one thing that you would change about about the world?: I'd change the way people viewed each other. I'm so tired of how people judge each other and seem to think they have the right to say what other people can and can not do.
Describe your ideal happy ending: In real life or in fiction? In fiction it's definitely when evil's been either beaten or made to see the error of it's ways, everyone is happy again. Love is admitted to and everyone goes home happy. In real life? Are there happy endings in real life? I guess it's when there's no money problems, all the bills are paid, and everyone is free to live their life by their own choices so that they can best follow their dreams.
Other
What is your favorite fairytale?: I was never one for fairytales. Girls have always had the weaker part in most of them and I've despised that for as long as I can remember. I love mythology though and adore any story related to moon goddesses.
Do you agree with your regular stamp? Explain the reasons why/why not?: I was surprised by my normal stamp of Kano Kirishima (on a different journal) as I've always identified more with Tomoyo from Clannad more. I suppose it really depends on my mood at the time I guess when I'm not being so pessimistic I do come across more like Kano.
Post your favorite quote/motto/lyrics:
"My present self I do not need sympathy
In the midst of war I am a flaming falling star
LONELY...
Present and future
Are engulfed in the flames of battle and everything is a dream
So our lives and the waning smiles
Will surely make a new world"
Ai wa Ryuusei by Nakahara Shigeru has long been my personal theme song.
Describe a special place of yours:
I don't have one. I do have a sort of inner landscape I go to sometimes though when things get bad. There's a thatched cottage, a flower meadow and everything. I guess you could say I've come to live more internally than externally lately.
Anything else?:
Not that I can think off. Sorry for how emo this seems I don't know what's gotten into me! And of course... let's make this place more active yes? &hearts /&hearts
