Some friends signed me up for this thing so... here I am c:

** 5/23/13 - I want to disable my profile, but then awesome people message me- which almost makes the creepers & blatant come-ons worth it. Almost. But not quite. **

I am the Queen of the Castle.
The self-proclaimed Belle of the Ball.
I'm a basket-case viewing the world through kaleidoscope eyes.
I'm a mask of puzzles and misconceptions.
A curious collection of contradictions.

I'm a writer & a dreamer.
I spin realities out of fantasies and can never quite see past the mist.

Rumor has it... I'm also a supervillain.

You can call me Jae
When I'm not talkin' myself up through pretty metaphors,
I'm living and breathing awkward situations.
I can quiet and a little hard to understand at first,
But I open up to people with a good vibe about them.
And I go to the ends of the earth for those I care about~

I don't reply to many people; However, if you think we would get along and make good friends first please feel free to send a message.
If you would like to chat but I do not reply, or you're too shy to send a message through okcupid, please read the bottom section of my profile :)

Student. Cosplayer. Con-goer. Reader. Writer. Renaissance Nerd. Dancer. Raver. Volunteer. Philanthropist. Traveler. Equalist. I'm just a little bit of everything

I'm a third year university student, double majoring in Public Health & Kinesiology - Exercise Science at UTSA; Third Year.
Looking into International Aid opportunities, including Peace Corps & Cross-Cultural Solutions.

I'm an avid traveler; a nomadic creature. I've been to more than a dozen countries & I'm grateful for every opportunity I have had, as well as those I will continue to have.

I love a good adventure. I love bad adventures too.
In general, I like to try new things & getting involved with life.
I'm usually interested in trying anything active that I haven't before; I love new experiences.

I also enjoy creating fictional characters & writing stories about them in my spare time. c: I post about them on my Facebook page: message me for the link~

Sarcastic retorts & jokes that really aren't funny.
Event Organization, Marketing & Networking, Reading & Writing and Philanthropic Activities.

Also being a booth babe and dressing to the nines for Steampunk/Renaissance activities, faires & conventions. ;D

Aside from my figure- people notice a shy smile and a slight shrug. Arms wrapped around the waist, nose buried in a book. One word sentences and short answers. People notice the small things about me that tell them to stay away: which means they never get the chance to discover the person I really am.

My personality is like a secret; something to be earned.
I'm distant towards strangers, and those I'm uncomfortable around.
Towards those I consider friends, however, I'm chatty, outgoing, and a little bizarre. I have weird ideas, sarcastic retorts, and a quick wit.

Books
Anything and Everything.
At least once a month I re-read:
Silver Metal Lover & Biting the Sun - Tanith Lee
The Host - Stephanie Meyer (I know, I know. Guilty pleasure).
Alpha & Omega Series - Patricia Briggs
I read a lot more than I care to admit; I like pretty much anything supernatural/fantasy

Movies
Fight Club, Star Wars (all six), Se7en, Sixth Sense,
Let the Right One In, Pan's Labyrinth, The Orphanage,
Count of Monte Cristo, Disney's Hercules, Camille.

Shows
I watch everything.
Except Documentaries.
Recently: Merlin, Todd & the Book of Pure Evil, Breaking Bad, Once Upon a Time, Game of Thrones, American Horror Story, How I Met Your Mother, Walking Dead, Archer, Legend of the Seeker & everything by Joss Whedon.

Music
One day I'll take the time out of my life to list some music.
Basically, though, I love a little bit of everything. There are certain songs I love to listen to on repeat, and there are some songs that I save for specific moods/experiences. Some songs I know every word of, and some of them I'll only hum along. My life doesn't fit into just one genre, and neither does my music.
*I'm also exceptionally awful about remembering names.
Someone will ask me if I've heard of an artist & I'll say no. Turns out they are behind some of my favorite songs.
Who knew?

I love to hear friends sing
My favorite sounds include the voices of friends, the piano, and the violin. Bonus points if you know of Lindsey Stirling.

Sports
I'll watch Basketball, Football & MMA. I'm not as into Basketball & Football, though: I don't really follow the teams. However, I do love watching those sports in a social setting with enthusiastic people: it makes all the difference.

Food
I tend to learn towards organics & natural whole foods, and limit the amount of red meat. (Can't give it up completely, though; I'm a sucker for a steak.)

Never is a very long time.
There are many things I'd rather not be without, but few I could never do without.
I suppose: Water, Nutrients, Oxygen, Sleep, My humanity, Love.

Too much.
Always thinking,
Never making sense.

They don't call me an enigma for nothing~

you see life as an adventure,
and plan to experience it to the best of your ability.

Message me if you can amaze me~

You should message me if
You like to/would like to:
• Dance. I'm trying to learn, but need a dance partner or two and may step on a couple feet in the process~
• Hunt, Fish, Shoot
• Cook, Garden (no idea how to garden, but I'd be down)
• Caving, Hiking, Biking, Scuba, Snorkle, Tubing
• Visit the park, lake, take a walk
• Take pictures/have fun photoshoots
• Laserquest, Bowling, Ice skate, Paintball
• Shows/Venues/Concerts
• Anything active;
• Travel

I don't know how to do most of the above... but that doesn't stop me from trying & I'd love to have friends to learn with~

Don't message me if...
If you are racist, sexist, or do not respect preferred gender roles & lifestyles/changes (This includes any trans).
Straight up, I don't have the patience to deal with bigotry and ignorance.

I promise I'm not as unfriendly as my profile may make me sound; I'm bad at describing myself.

If I did not reply to you
Please do not be offended. I've become very selective of who I reply to. I just don't have an infinite amount of time to spend on here.

If you're convinced that we will be the best of friends, you can try two things:
1. You can try sending me a message again. Just make it interesting. I'm pretty open minded, and more than willing to chat if you want a pen-pal or need someone just to talk to.
2. You're also welcome to shoot me a message on my Facebook page. I reply when I have the time.
