You may be surprised....Facts

Some things about me that you may not have known.

You will only ever see what I let you see.

- When I say I'm a musician, I mean it. I've been singing since I was four years old, spent a decade in choir, musical theater and a couple of years working with a professional vocal coach. Music is consuming. It is my everything. I'm sure it sounds cliche, but I can feel it coursing through my veins. I've never wanted to do anything else, and I don't really care how "unrealistic" YOU think it is, I plan on making it my career.

- I say what I mean and I mean what I say. My words may not carry much weight to you, and I understand because most people speak merely to hear their own voices, but I am most certainly not one of them. If I tell you I hate you, run. If I tell you I want to be left alone, go away. If I tell you that you're amazing, it's because you are. And if I tell you that I love you, cherish those words because they aren't easy for me to say.

- I'm an awkward person, especially towards those I am romantically interested in. All of my Gemini charm goes out the window the second my knees are weak. I swear, I am not socially retarded, I just get nervous sometimes.

- I am truly and terribly impatient.

- I can be extremely sarcastic.

- I'm an aggressive driver. My lack of patience is amplified by a thousand and my horn is one of my best friends, as is my middle finger. If you pull out into the left lane doing 15 mph(when I'm clearly doing 70+), I am going to do one or all of the following three things: flash my brights as a signal for you to get over, honk my horn, and finally, if you refuse to get in the slow lane(likely your rightful place, not only on the highway but in the world as well) I will furiously pass you and make my annoyance known. If I'm already speeding and you want to speed around me, I'm going to speed up(especially if I can box you in) and refuse to let you get around me. Why? Because you're an asshole. If you want to "race" me at a light, get ready to lose. It's always funny when some dude pulls up next to me, glances at me for a moment, then revs his engine. You want to bring it, go ahead, I'll be happy to beat you.

- I'm aggressive in general. I won't take shit from you. I won't let you degrade or belittle me. If I find out that you're talking shit about me, I will confront you. When it comes to things I truly want, I will not take no for an answer. If I disagree with you, I will make it known. If you want to debate or argue, I will debate or argue until a.) I win or b.) you give up from exhaustion or c.) I learn something. And most importantly, if you mess with me or the people I love, I will tear you the fuck apart.

- I am obviously not afraid to speak my mind. I enjoy speaking up for causes I believe in and taking a stand against the things I don't.

- Don't let my aggressive side fool you, I can be the sweetest girl you will ever meet if you get on my good side.

- I am an extremely passionate person.

- I am not a vacuous bimbo. I am not eye candy. I was not put on this earth for men to gawk at, drool over or whistle at. I have a brain and an IQ of 140. I am intelligent, and I refuse to be treated otherwise. I despise being hit on and leered at. I do not dress like a slut because I'm not a slut. My tattoos and piercings do not mean I'm wild or trashy, they're my choice of self expression and my favorite form of art. Being objectified absolutely disgusts me, and the harder you try to "holla", the more I'm going to dislike you. Just so you know, I won't talk to you if, instead of using my name, you address me as any of the following; Sexy, Hottie, Hotness, Cutie, Girl, Gorgeous, Babe, Beautiful or anything of that kind. I have a name for a reason, use it. Do not address me in such a superficial manner. It's highly offensive, not flattering.

- NEVER CALL ME BABY. Only one person is allowed to refer me to as baby, and only because I love him.

- I enjoy reading, a lot.

- I love sci-fi.

- When I really like someone, I tend to flatter them constantly. I can't help it.

- I crave knowledge. I like to learn new things, be it a new skill or merely random facts. If you're not learning, you are not growing as a person.

-I loathe when people send me messages that say things like "Can I get at you?", "Can I tlk 2 u?", "How r u?", etc. It saddens me that people are too lazy to fully spell a three or four letter word. I also can't stand people that do not understand the concept of punctuation.

- I was a published poet many times over by the time I was 16. I won my first award for poetry at the age of 11 for a poem that I wrote when I was 10. After that, I continued to write and participate in speech & essay contests, poetry readings, etc. Writing is very important to me. I hope to write a handful of both fiction and non-fiction books.

- I am not stuck up, and I am baffled by the fact that people find me "intimidating". I may be a little cold to you at first, but if I like you and warm up you will find that I'm a total nerd. I do and say silly things constantly.

- I love laughing and making others laugh.

- I do not care for alcohol.

- I am sensory defensive, and I hope to be able to raise awareness about the condition. It IS real and it DOES affect the lives of people that suffer from it.

- I also hope to raise awareness about how poorly our disabled veterans are being treated.

- My father is part of that group. He is terminally ill with scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, raynauds and lupus. He is the strongest man I know, and most certainly my hero for fighting as hard as he does.

- I am a daddy's girl. That doesn't mean that I expect the men I date to spoil me, it just means that my Dad is one of my best friends. I spend a lot of time taking care of him and he means the world to me. Without him, I would not be half as strong, driven or ambitious.

- I enjoy baking, and am actually pretty good at it.

- I am extremely picky yet ridiculously easy to please. I like things the way I like them(thank you, OCD), and I take pleasure in simple things. I prefer quiet settings and nights in over crowds and parties. I can do both, but I am extremely low-key.

-I am more impressed by a man that can stay in with me for a night and just be with me than I am by a man that takes me out. I do not need or want jewelry, money, expensive dinners, or any other sort of material objects. If I like you, I am content with your time, attention and respect.

- I'm extremely caring towards those I love. If you are sick, I will take care of you. I'll always ask if you need something when I get up to leave the room. I will bake for you. That's just the kind of person I am. I ENJOY MAKING THE PEOPLE I LOVE HAPPY.

- I pay attention to details. What's important to you is important to me. If I know you like something and have yet to acquire it, I will go out of my way to get it for you. I'm thoughtful, and I wish more people were in return.

- I once dated someone that couldn't tell me what color my eyes were. I am still insulted by that to this day.

- I'm a sucker for white roses, but no guy has ever given me any. It doesn't really matter, seeing as they only mean as much coming from the right person.

- I don't need big gestures to know you care. A random phone call or a simple kiss can say more than any elaborate gesture you could scheme up.

- I was born in San Diego, California. After moving a lot growing up, it is still the only place I will call home.

- Give me snow or rain and cold weather over heat, sun and humidity any day.

- I am PRO CHOICE and all for equal rights for same sex couples.

That's enough for right now.
