Something interesting: I'm a vegetarian - anyone else?</p>

<p>I love long flights because I get to see the orange glow of the sunrise on the folds of the clouds.There's not a book that I own that hasn't been read at least four times cover to cover. I love science, hate politics, and always appreciate a good joke.</p>

<p>I love the arts - literary, musical, visual. I've been to the Lourve, I love Canon in D, and I treasure The Great Gatsby. I'm a closet Michelle Branch fan, open "House - M.D" addict, and amateur photographer.</p>

<p>I run track but that'll end after high school (unlike someone I know going to Stanford). I've been to the Philippines over half a dozen times, and every year it goes the same way - it begin with excited anticipation of a good time, and ends with me feeling the isolation of being an outsider in a foreign land, the awkwardness when my dad calls it "home," or the queasiness in my stomach as a group of flagellants walk down the road, their whips beating a steady rhythm into their backs.</p>

<p>I want to die of exhaustion and not boredom, like the Grossart quote goes. </p>

<p>I enjoy alcohol, but I know my limits. </p>

<p>I've considered the military for years, and I am trying to get an NROTC scholarship to pay for Stanford (they kind of forced my hand with their aid estimate). I'm an American because of the Navy, and I feel it'd be a way to pay them back. </p>

<p>I play piano and guitar, I draw and paint (and suck even though I'm in AP Art), and I really like to write. I spend too much time on online surveys, and sometimes I ignore the formats and answer simple questions with overdone answers like this one.</p>

<p>There's a lot more to know about me, but I forgot to mention that I am very lazy and often procrastinate or just say things are finished when they really aren't.</p>

<p>I'm done.</p>

<p>female</p>

<p>i cant hold my alcohol. though ive tried.
i hate capitalization.
i love to cuss. and i love calling it "cussing."
i love a steady rain. and lightning storms.
im a "copycat" artist- i can draw or paint most things that i see, but i can never visualize anything original.
i love zeppelin, the beatles, cream, the dead- and i'm a closet backstreet boys fan.
i love cheesecake. and almost anything smothered in chocolate.
i cant hold a grudge. but i pretend to. which is almost as effective.
go house!
i love baseball and the yankees.
i love long drives.
i dont want to be forgotten.
im going to live forever. (or die trying, as the saying goes)</p>

<p>yeah, im a guy who likes to think, drink beer, and drive fast, the problem is no 2 of those 3 tend to work together very well so i just kind of go with it. and oh yeah, i played football for 3 years and i play guitar. and fight club and trainspotting are good movies. and a clockwork orange, the great gatsby, heart of darkness, and anything by t.s. elliot are good. and a7x, sublime, nirvana, and thrice rock. the end.</p>

<p>Female

Favorite Superhero: Superman
Favorite Sport: Basketball - my username refers to the Dallas Mavericks...not the movie Top Gun

Favorite Food: Fajita? I don't know...
Favorite Class: Calculus - my teacher is awesome
Something Interesting: I do not drink soda...not sure if that is interesting though...</p>

<p>I see all these posts and i see some of my own feelings verbalized. It's like we're all connected in some way--that sounds pretty cheesy, but the more you know people, the more you see yourself reflected in them. </p>

<p>Btw, I'm a vegetarian too, and I can also only draw things I see but not visualize an image on my own.</p>

<p>Well I hate short descriptions, but I'll give it a whirl. I like people, paradoxes, and learning. I have a tendency to draw things out, but I really do try to be concise.
I think differently than most people, and I try to ask questions differently. I'm intersted in knowing the reality about things most people would consider silly, or most things people assume to be true.
I try not to take life too seriously, and I like having a bit of fun. I'm not a comedian but I laugh a lot, and I try to enliven things with my sarcasm and wit.
I have a competitive streak, an artisitic streak (not much of one haha), and a hedonistic streak. But most of all, I'm interested in getting to know myself, the world around me, and the people who matter most in my life.
I most like Sublime and Jack Johnson at the moment, I enjoy watching college basketball and participating in hiking and rock climbing, I relish hanging out with friends, I love sushi, steak, and mexican food, and I'm obsessed with travel, obscure literature, international politics, ping-pong, philosophy, and painting. Fin.</p>

<p>im a vegetarian too :)
ovo-lacto</p>

<p>ok - i have to admit that at first i was kind of afraid i wouldn't have much in common with you guys - don't know why</p>

<p>but another matchbox 20 fan!</p>

<p>ovo-lacto = me exactly!</p>

<p>and i love mexican food and sushi!</p>

<p>it is weird that we have these little things in common. but we also have some interesting differences...guess we will make up a pretty good class next year :)</p>

<p>I absorb people's mannerisms and ideas and add them to my own, but my personality definitely has some distinguishing attributes. It also changes from I can be a complete introvert or a complete extrovert...it just depends on the time of day.</p>

<p>To me, everyone is either "interesting" or "boring." I can't tell you why I like or don't like someone. I get bored of people quickly.</p>

<p>I like really messed up people, perhaps because it takes longer to get bored of them. I'm instinctually attracted to messed up people.</p>

<p>I also like anorexically thin girls, perhaps because they tend to be really messed up.</p>

<p>I try to ignore such trivialities as opinions, the law, and threats, and make my decisions based on facts. Usually, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't.</p>

<p>I like philosophy and neuroscience. I like examining the nature of reality. I like self-referentiality.</p>

<p>I'm the farthest thing imaginable from an artist (I can't draw for ****) but all of my best friends are artists.</p>

<p>My favorite bands of all time are probably Saint Etienne, Pavement, and Broken Social Scene. I listen to indie rock, indie pop, commercial pop, electronic, hip hop, etc. but have very defined tastes.</p>

<p>My favorite movie is Mulholland Drive. I think David Lynch (Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Elephant Man, Eraserhead, and many more) and Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) are the best directors working today.</p>

<p>I wanted to go to prom last year in a dress because I didn't want to bother renting a tuxedo.</p>

Something weird: I own a collection of stuffed microbes. Go giantmicrobes.com!!</p>

<p>I craft miracles with sensory.
I am blunt and harshly honest.
I can make the blind man see (nothing).
I am witty when required and sweet about 99.9% of the time.
When you find me in those quiet moments, I am secretly plotting your death.</p>

<p>Musically, I write the songs that are not easily noticed but are ballads that cut like glass that has been sprinkled in sugar and stardust.</p>

<p>Poetically, I write poems of pure emotive content and abstract imagery. </p>

<p>Artistically, I am a mess of colours and shades used to make you vulnerable and uncomfortable. </p>

<p>Verbally, I speak Standard English and my slang is painfully obvious a majortiy of the time. </p>

<p>My friends are wonderful people that I love to the max.
My family are mixed-up collages of flesh and oddity. I am more than just the black sheep.</p>

<p>I love the sauce(booze) because alcohol is a social compound of pure friendship and emotion that makes all truth come out the mouth like a disgust fountain.
Meaning, I only drink with friends.
Drugs are a no-no.
Aviod Dust-Off! computer cleaner.
Within 30-seconds it turns bird chirps into laser beams.
I was once a super devoted Straight-Edger and that was like 4-years ago.
Look what happened now... </p>

<h2>Trust me honey, I love causing a scene. Invite me to your party. </h2>

<h2>*Top 8 in alphabetical order! </h2>

<p>I love abstract anything.
I love speaking my mind.
I also love debates.</p>

<p>Weirdness is lovely.
The sun burns my skin.
And I burn easily in the sun.
Crisp skin and dull eyes.</p>

<p>Hmmmmmmph, what else would you like to know????</p>

<hr>

<h2>Summary: My favorite pastime is putting myself in a room filled with people engaging in random converstations with hints of majestic ambience filling the room with it's transparent air as I place an awkward gaze at random objects and distant faces. I would like to call myself an artist but that is an understatement, anyone can say the same. I am generally very polite and quiet (I am plotting your demise in my mind.). </h2>

<p>It's random poetic mess time!</p>

<p>As though the spectator suggests. </p>

<p>"Confidence." he said. </p>

<p>Shivering lips ignore spins launched through revolving doors. Go, far from here, ye wasted youth. I have frozen the rest of your breed in distant whispers laid echoing. Fangs sink like battleships, the ones we used to play in your basement. </p>

<p>Loathe set in your idiotempermental manufacturesque gold wire. </p>

<p>"Confidence is fleeting." he said.</p>
