My quirky-cool application.
Basics
Name: ashley.
Age: eighteen.
Location: florida. :( It's alright, but it was 101 degrees today. And massive humidity!
How much time do you spend on lj? I think the more relevant question is.. When am I away from my computer?
Favorites
Bands/singers: the Epoxies, Coldplay, Rilo Kiley, Gwen Stefani, the new Gorillaz, Alkaline Trio, Fiona Apple, Ashlee Simpson [hey, i've definitely got my quirks.]
Genre of music: I don't stick to a particular genre. Mainly because I'm still into ninties country, and because Lil Jon makes me giggle. Even if he's dumb, he's still funny.
Color: I like pink+green. Like my shoes! [picture down below.] They just go together well.
Books: I'm a huge Harry Potter dork. I'm actually counting down the days to the sixth book.
Movies: Movies? Yes please. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, Closer, Star Wars [yes, even episodes 1, 2, &3], The Notebook, The Aviator, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Breakfast Club, 10 Things I Hate About You, Anchorman, 12 Monkeys, Seven, Love Actually, Harry Potter &the Prisoner of Azkaban [despite the missing pieces from the book], Bully, The Dreamers, &Murder by Numbers. &I just saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith last Saturday. It was awesome. Considering how I'm not really into action movies. [But I am really into Brad Pitt &Angelina Jolie.] There are so many more, but.. Yanno, I have a list of all the movies I own. If you're at all interested, that is.
Holiday: I like Halloween. Especially since I've been getting off my ass and learning to do things. I made my own costume last year. Tinkerbell. <3 It was shiny and green and pretty.
Food: I'm in love with Subway. They recently brought back that red wine vinaigrette [or however you spell that] sauce back, and now my turkey sandwiches aren't lonely.
Hobbies: Watching movies, hanging out with my boyfriend, and playing with my puppy are really the only things I do of any particular interest to me. They're the only things I do on a regular basis. But things that I like to do, but don't do often, are shop, and go swimming, even though I have the opportunity to do so.
TV Shows: I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And I don't even feel bad about it! I miss Boy Meets World. There was this really short-lived show called Greg the Bunny, with Seth Green and all these adorable puppets, that I was obsessed with, too. But, it's ok, because I have the boxsets for all of these. I've got them at my fingertips.
Scents: I don't really like most smells. Cologne and perfume are always too strong, though I must admit I like Paris Hilton's perfume. It's nice. Not overpowering. I like natural smells, like rain. And my boyfriend.
Lyrics:
Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full
And sank in the burrows of my keep
And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Effort Questions
For each topic write your thoughts on it.
Childhood memory: When I was little, my grandfather was in charge of setting of the fireworks on New Years' Eve in Lake Alfred/Polk City [Random FL towns]. Every year my mom would let me stay up until 12:30, when the fireworks stopped, and let me watch, even though she knew the noises scared me. :/ Aw. I made myself sad.
Pick one of the arts: Writing. I love writing. I'm mostly into fanfic at the moment, which, kind of upsets most people. And it's kind of naughty, but it'll be okay. It's mostly just stuff I write for myself, anyway. I want to be an author when I get done with college and everything.
McDonald's: I like the fries, but the burgers are all so slimy. And the chicken doesn't really taste like chicken. But, I cannot complain on the fries. ..Or the toys.
Definition of quirky-cool: Actually, to define the word "eccentric" I used to use the term "quirky &cool." But the same doesn't really apply. Like a rectangle is always a square, but a square is not always a rectangle, yanno? Quirkycool is like.. personality. It's how you wear it. It's like, the confidence to be an individual without trying to be an individual. Just go with it. Examples of people in the media who are quirkycool: Jimmy Fallon, Merton Dingle from the shortlived Fox Family show Big Wolf On Campus, Gavin Strick from Disturbing Behavior, and Jeffrey Goines from 12 Monkeys.
Pet peeves: Liars, fakes, the new breed of "nonconformists," bad grammar [I must admit I am quite the grammarnazi], rude people, elitists, and homophobes.
Something random: This one time, my friend's car horn stopped working, so we went to Walmart and bought a bike horn. So, when she gets upset while driving, she puts the little bike horn out the window and squeaks at people.
3 words that describe you: dorky, sarcastic, "eccentric" [even if I'm not deemed worthy of the quirkycool title]
Guilty pleasures: Ooh. Britney Spears. I don't actually feel guilty for liking her, but I know I should, so that counts, right? I don't really feel bad about anything else. Oh, yeah. I used to be a massive Good Charlotte fan. I feel guilty about that. But then that last CD came out, and I.. lost interest. :/
Rain or shine: It would depend on my mood. If I'm in a really good mood, I like rain. Cus then I'm in the mood to go play in it. Times like those, I miss my trampoline. When I'm in a bad mood, I prefer the sun, cus I get all pissy if I'm already in a bad mood and the rain messes up my hair.

How'd you hear about the community? mizld had joined, and I decided, hey, I'm quirky. Let's see if I'm cool.
Any last words: Just lyrics. There's blood in my mouth cus I've been biting my tongue all week. I keep on talkin' trash, but I never say anything. And then talkin' leads to touchin', and then touchin' leads to sex, and then there is no mystery left.
