Who Am I?

March 20, 2010

I’m kind of different –I’m a mix of a person. I’m insecure, but confident. I like being introverted, but being lonely makes me sad. I love to read, I spend way too much money on music, and my dream job would be a singer/songwriter. (Unfortunately, I don’t write songs very well.) I enjoy school; for some reason, having something to do pushes me. I love to make lists. I’m kind of a control freak. I can handle messiness; I clean when I’m angry or upset. I get restless at 2 in the morning. I love to swim, but I hate wearing bathing suits. Something about the endless water makes me feel free. I don’t get angry very often, but when I do, watch out. I tend to blame myself when things go wrong. I avoid confrontation, when inside, I feel differently. I’m a people-pleaser and I give in easily (or feel guilty when I don’t give in), but I would like to think I’m a strong person. I don’t want to be seen as easy to take advantage of. I love puzzles and games and competition. I act like a baby when I lose. I like to know everything, but being wrong won’t kill me. (Unless I really believe I’m right. Then I’ll act like a baby.) I tend to regret things I do in the heat of the moment. I rehash my day over and over again at night, wondering if I could have done things differently. I hate talking on the phone. I’m lazy and would much rather stay at home then go out; being seen in public takes too much effort. I often worry myself sick over social situations.

I can get defensive easily, but go ahead and make fun of me; I’ll get over it. When I’m upset about something, I like to rant.

I treasure honesty. And I’m paranoid.

I’m not funny, though I do try. But you don’t need to laugh at my jokes. It’s okay; I’ll live. I’m clumsy, so don’t worry when I hurt myself. I don’t drink. I don’t like parties. And I’m not the best dancer. I’m pragmatic. But I’m romantic, too. (And I like big words. And romance novels.)

I’m a girl who enjoys everything, really.
Except sports. I’m horribly awful when it comes to anything athletic.
If I labeled people like soup cans, I’d label myself a geek. (which is fine with me.)
I’m clumsy.
I play bassoon.
I like TV (Bones, House, Grey’s Anatomy, Fringe, ANTM…).
I adore my computer, of course.
I tend to over-analyze everything.
I love to people-watch.
I’m addicted to Gummy Bears.
I love games and competition. (Don’t try me – I’ll win.)
I like puzzles too much to be cool.

I spend the majority of my time reading with my iPod at my side and singing loudly, to the chagrin of my older sister.

Authors I like: Stephenie Meyer, Jane Austen, Sarah Dessen, Scott Westerfeld, Eva Ibbotson, Melissa Marr, and more…

Music I like: Snow Patrol, John Mayer, Dashboard Confessional, the Fray, Death Cab for Cutie, The Hush Sound, Mae, Matchbox Twenty, Imogen Heap, Stars, Sara Barielles, The Postal Service, OneRepublic, A Fine Frenzy, We Are Scientists, Aqualung, Lifehouse, Augustana, Keane, Air Traffic, Adele, The Cab, Uh Huh Her, We the Kings, Ingrid Michaelson, Rilo Kiley, Feist, Cartel, Goo Goo Dolls, Between the Trees, Lenka and many many more

June 27, 2006:

Who am I? A hard question to answer. I could better explain who I’d like to be. But I’ll try. First off, I’m a Christian. Sometimes a struggling Christian, but a Christian. God is my ultimate comfort and friend, but sometimes I forget. Stupid me. That’s why I have amazing friends who help me keep my eyes on Him. They’re always helping me–even when they don’t know it.

I’m a girl who likes to think she can wax philosophical, but I’m not sure if I can. I like to dream and think of great opportunities and possibilities, but I must admit that I am an incorrigible worrier. [Again, my friends help me with the worrying thing. God is always in control.] I’m mostly a happy, bubbly, talkative person, but we all have our bad days. I’m pretty opinionated and I enjoy making my beliefs known. Debates are amazing. I enjoy school, mainly because of my friends and the fact that it’s something I like to think myself good at. I spend a good amount of time on the computer, sadly enough, playing solitare and chatting with friends. I have a family, like most people, and we get along most of the time.

That’s about it. I’ll add more if I remember…
