- About me
- First off, my profile pic is from a Florida trip I took with the marching band. And I chose a pic that showed me, or at least most of me, because I'm a joker who likes to make people laugh and I always do weird faces for the camera. And I like lollipops. Ok onto the real stuff. I'm a teen who's seen a lot and been through a lot. Not necessarily by first-hand experience. My dad exposed me to a lot of abuse stories from his past, some very graphic, and when I was little it gave me nightmares sometimes. I also made friends with people who were usually abused or had family problems, and as a result were either usually depressed, antisocial, or pissed off at the world. I'm a very empathetic and open-minded person, and always try to put myself in the other person's shoes. I don't judge a person until I know them personally, meaning having met face-to-face and have gotten to know them over some period of time. I don't judge because I know what it's like to be judged. I was severly teased from early childhood till highschool, and still get teased sometimes. I've been called everything from a lesbo, a slut, a he-she, a worthless cutter, a stupid bitch, and all inbetween. I have a tendency to rant/carry on (as you can probably tell if you've read this far) but I love helping people and do whatever I can to listen, be there, understand, and (only if) they ask for it, give advice when I can. I consider myself an orphan sometimes because my mom died when I was 10 years old and so did my dad. Not physically, my dad is still alive, but as the person I knew him to be, he no longer exists. In the beginning of 2007/08 I was taken from his care/house because I finally got the guts to bring it to everyone's attention that nothing was "ok" and I couldn't live like that anymore. My dad is an alcoholic with anger management problems and it only got worse after my mom died. Since last year, I have been living with my great aunt and am now living with my grandma. I've made a lot of wrong choices which I thought were right at the time and have had a lot of problems, so even though I offer and can give help, I'm bad at fixing myself and my own life and so I'm also here for help. I found this site by chance when I typed "rape" into the searchbar. So far, by looking at it, I'm glad I found it. I might not be very active on here simply because I'm unable to get online very much but I always put others before me and so if someone does need my help with something, I'll be perfectly willing to give them my cell number because I'm (nearly) always reachable through that, though now that I've signed onto this site, I'll probably be more active on the computer. But I think that's enough about me. If you read this far, I thank you and am amazed at your ability to not get bored. ;)

- Any kinds, I like all music pretty much. But I was raised on country and old rock. Listen to a lot of Linkin Park, Yellowcard, Rise Against, Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks, Fat Boy Slim, Gorillaz, all kinds.

- Old-ish movies usually, ones that get you emotionally. Deep Cover, Powder, I Am Legend, L.A. Confidential, Primal Fear, Righteous Kill, Soldier, Rounders, and movies like Grease, Tropic Thunder, Captain Ron...basically almost any kind of movies, LOTR, Star Wars... Love horror, action, and comedy.

- I love games. Board games, video games (though I don't play much and the only system I ever owned and still own is a super nintendo), games like tag...yeah...
- Books
- Um...I actually haven't read in forever, school's sucking the life out of me. But some favorites of mine are The Sight, The Outsiders, The Night I Disappeared, Eragon, No More Dead Dogs, and Julie's Wolf Pack.

- Soccer. Track. Marching Band. And yes I consider marching band to be a sport. I love football though, haven't really played any except neighborhood-kid kind, but I love watching it. (Go Broncos!)
- Heroes
- My mom. First, top, always.
My best friends, Nathan and Meagan.
And my old band director, Mr. Bates. He was like a father to me. - Other interests
- Spontanuity. If that's how it's spelled. I like being spontaneous when I can, and even at times when I shouldn't, and I like doing new stuff. Exploring life makes it interesting. I love the little things like leaves changing colors and the smell of rain.
