I'm covered, always prepared for the weather. Easy mek it rain, but I'm holding the umbrella'.[/url] I swear that song was, like, written for me. It's not my problem if people can't help but talk about me; it's a curse of being the full package.[/indent] [sup][img]http://i.imgur.com/2RaGgnB.png[/img] [/sup] [indent]Well, obviously the first word is simple but all encompassing. [b]FABULOUS.[/b] Because let's face it, compared to the more droll students, I'm always looking fly. Just because there's a thing called 'starving artist' doesn't mean you have to look the part. Ugh. Second, well, it's hard to come up with nine others when fabulous is just so...perfect, so I guess I'll say...[b]DOGMATIC[/b]. I swear some people think it's a bad thing to be so vocal and assertive but sorry not sorry for not being a meek little painter or writer or whatever. Grow a backbone, god. Ugh, this is so stupid. You know everyone's just going to make stuff up, right? I bet that frumpy girl from ceramics is going to put down some lies about being 'creative' and 'beautiful' but please, we all know she steals her designs from the internet and that her little knicknacks wouldn't even sell on ETSY of all places. Me, though, I'm always going to give you the truth because I'm comfortable with myself. Which is to say I have a large amount of [b]CONFIDENCE[/b] which is sorely lacking in others. But really why do we need to use words to describe us? This is so stupid. Everyone's just going to go to a thesaurus and find adjectives, but why not a different part of speech or whatever the term? How many essays or questionnaires where the people will find ten ways to say 'funny' and 'honest' do you need? And let's be real here, no one (other than me, of course) is ever honest in these things. I think I just said that but the point stands. Oh, right, more words to describe me. Fine, let's go with [b]INSOUCIANT[/b] How many is that? Four? Ugh, who has the time for ten words? I'm not a dictionary here. [b]SCRUPULOUS[/b] will be my fifth because it sounds better than punctilious which just makes me sound like some sort of OCD freak of nature that organizes pens on a desk. Creepy, those people. I can't believe I'm only halfway done. It would be so easy to just speed through this, but unlike half the student body I'm not interested in half-assing things. Because I'm better than that, I'm not lazy and some of us care about our GPA. But when half the school is going to be doing caricature art on a shitty boardwalk, busking for tips, or in jail in five years it's not so surprising at the lack of work ethic. [b]SYBARITIC[/b] because I know whoever is reading this just had to look that word up. Honestly this is just a waste of time. I'm not being graded on this, it's like some stupid survey or something. Probably for the school paper THAT NO ONE EVEN READS! Seriously, when was the last time you saw anyone walking through the halls with their nose buried in a newspaper. Hello, we have phones and when the signal isn't absolute trash the news is on there. I need a seventh word. Fine. [b]LOQUACIOUS[/b]. Eight. Eight. You know, reading over this and it may come off...badly for me. But I swear it's not! I swear it's not like that. I just have a good vocabulary and a better read on people. That's all. I've got my good side. Well, all of me is good. Honest. Like for example I bet it's not even well known that I'm really a [b]ROMANTIC[/b] at heart. Seriously. Don't give me that look that I know you're giving me. You don't believe me. Not my problem. Just because I haven't had someone swoop in on a white horse yet doesn't mean I don't believe in it. And it had BETTER be a horse, because I'm worth it. Some might say that makes me conceited but I don't think I am. I think I'm more of a [b]REALIST[/b] and it's hard to deny my words and claims when you see me. After all, these words that describe me don't necessarily define me and in the end the only one that REALLY matters is that I'm above all [b]COMPLEX[/b]. [/indent] [img]http://i.imgur.com/12ZsxBT.png[/img] [list][*] Have you ever seen the mist on an early morning day? As it comes in off the coastline? It's breathtaking; I'll take that over a sunset or sunrise any day of the week. [*] There's something just so calming about fuji apple water. Whenever I'm in a bad mood - rare as it is - a glass of that and it's like heaven in my mouth. [*] When the weather changes and I can finally wear my fantastic stylish and fabulous sweaters without dying of exhaustion and sweating all over the place. [*] That sound of fresh ink or lead when it first meets paper. It's like a scribbling sound and it's divine. Simply and utterly. [*] When the bass hits just right and your whole body just wants to...to dance. Which is to say, cliche as it is, dance music makes me feel good. Hey, it's worked for decades for a reason. [/list] [img]http://i.imgur.com/xHyGywD.png[/img] [indent]Well, obviously the immediate goal is to graduate and go on to college but considering my GPA (amazing) and my attendance record (flawless) I doubt I have anything to worry about there. This thing is not going to be shared, right? Honestly, after graduation what I really want to do is become a novelist. But that won't happen. It can't. Honestly I'll probably wind up being a trophy spouse or something, maybe get into a sorority in college and become a marriage or party planner or something. Maybe I'll get into advertising, I do have a portfolio in the works. Goals are just dreams that you have to wake up from.[/indent] [img]http://i.imgur.com/1Hej9Ra.png[/img] [indent]Ability. I...let's just move on.[/indent] [img]http://i.imgur.com/5qGBIe4.png[/img] [indent]The look on my stepmother's face on the night she died. Specifically the last time I saw her face.[/indent] [img]http://i.imgur.com/u3Ma91m.png[/img] [indent]Telling my stepmother that I hated her and blamed her for the divorce of my parents. It was stupid of me to say; but at the time it was how I felt. My younger brother accepted her easily, but he is the 'nice' one anyway. I got...I got angry at her, I couldn't see her as anything other than a mistress and it happened at Thanksgiving of all days. At dinner. All that needed to happen was a food fight and we'd have been the perfect dysfunctional sitcom episode. I kept calling her Becky because she hated that I didn't call her mom. She kept calling me Eleanor because she knew I hated it (it's such an...ugly name for [s]an ugly person[/s]) and it came to a head at Thanksgiving dinner. It got loud. It got angry. It almost got violent. But Becky loved to go outside and calm down, nature walks she called them. Thanksgiving is a time when people who have no one, no family or friends to share it with, share their loneliness with a bottle. The doctors told me it wasn't my fault, that it was the fault of the drunk driver. But if I hadn't been so stubborn and mean my dad would still be married and he would still...never mind. Next question. [/indent] [img]http://i.imgur.com/BMX0wVY.png[/img] [indent]The exact opposite of me? My past experiences have taught me that the vain types tend to only see me as a status symbol and...and I'm a lot less happy about that than I let on. Yeah, it makes sense that I should be with the popular people - date wise, I mean - but they don't make me happy. I'm not just a catty bitch and a piece of arm candy. I told you, I'm a romantic, and my ideal partner wouldn't be afraid to show their affection even if it was super cringey or cheesy. Wait. Wait did you mean like gender wise? Oh. Uh. Whatever. Uh...available? I'm fine with, like...whomever.[/indent] [img]http://i.imgur.com/ujIZrbd.png[/img] [indent]I adore animated shows and write kind of bawdy fanfiction about characters and also fictional versions of my classmates. I've never read the comments, though, because I know I'm a terrible author and don't need the negative reinforcement in my life.[/indent] [sup][img]http://i.imgur.com/Y1LgUnJ.png[/img] [/sup] [indent]Tell my younger self that crocs were NEVER going to be a good idea. That was a very difficult few months. But I bounced back. Elle Prynne always bounces back.[/indent]
