I truly never know what to include in these. I'm not a party
person. I love fantasy. I
recycle a lot. I hate mushrooms. I
believe in ghosts. I can't wear yellow things. I'm engaged to be
married! I collect pens, notebooks, bags, shoes, and stickers...
and then I want to give all of it away, renounce worldly
possessions, and live off-grid. I'm conflicted. Half the time
global warming terrifies and depresses me; half the time I think
that the world could stand to lose 3/4 of its human population, at
least.
You'll rarely find me wearing make-up or shopping at Walmart. I'm a
natural girl,
and I like it that way. I'm a
language geek; I've studied
French,
Japanese, Ancient Greek, bits of
German, and would LOVE to study some Chinese, Arabic, Korean,
Coptic... Heh. I would love to
travel the world;
Egypt is the next place on my list. I love
fantasy and
sci-fi, and I
have a nostalgic place in my heart for
anime/
manga as well. I love all kinds of
music except for
most rap, generally speaking. I love trying out different styles of
dress, too! One day I'll do jeans and a tee... the next I'll be in
a classy dress... then I'll be a
hippie for a week, and then back to Plain
Jane. I love
singing,
drawing,
reading,
writing,
horseback riding,
yoga even though I'm out of
practice,
paganism,
Tarot,
cats... Please feel free to send me a
message!
If it matters, a brief physical discription of myself in case the
photos don't do well enough: I'm nearly 5'3" and I have
wheat-colored, straight hair down to the middle of my back. My eyes
are blue, but they turn gray when it's overcast. I'm described as
"cuddly" by my best friend; I have a healthy amount of substance,
but am not obese in any way. I have small hands and feet and I have
a pair of glasses that I love. :)
There's probably a lot more, but if you're interested enough to
have read all of that, you should just message me and ask. :)

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Rissa et j'ai 19 ans. Je suis
(malheurusement) américaine, mais j'étudie le français depuis
quelques années. J'adore des langues étrangères, en particulier le
français et le japonais. J'aime chanter, écrire, dessiner, écouter
la musique, regarder des films...
Pour l'instant, au lieu d'un photo, un p'tit description de moi:
cheveux blonds et longs, yeux bleus (et des lunettes), 160
cm.
Envoyez-moi un message si vous voudriez une amie américaine ou
juste quelqu'un avec qui vous puissiez utiliser l'anglais (ou bien
le japonais).
I'm currently spending my junior year of college studying abroad in
England. I had planned on double-majoring in French and Religious
Studies, but in the interest of getting out sooner, I'm going to
drop R.S. down to a minor and graduate a semester early, I hope. I
go to a woman's college that recently went co-ed against its
students wishes, and I despise being there, now. That being said, I
love learning. I will not go to grad school - I would find it
incredibly tedious and limiting. I plan to live... I'm not sure
whether I'll volunteer abroad, travel, etc. or settle down
immediately for a family life, but I never want to stop
experiencing life.

Je suis une étudiante à l'université. J'étudie le français et
l'histoire, et je voudrais vivre en France. Je veux être mère et
femme... et peut-être professeure.
...being indecisive when it comes to filling these things
out?
I don't think I excel at anything, although my friends and parents
might say differently. But I'll hesitantly say that I'm "above
average" at the following: writing, singing, learning languages,
understanding abstract concepts, listening, telling the truth,
drawing, being tolerant of others' beliefs, cuddling, and yoga
(when I'm not out of practice - which, unfortunately, I am at the
moment).

...les langues, le chant, le dessin...
I guess that people notice that I'm short! At slightly less than
5'3", I don't exactly stand out in a crowd. They also notice my
hair - it's fairly long, for the first time in my life! :)

Oh, goodness. I think about magic. I think about writing. I think
about eternity. I think about time. I think about love. I think
about music. I think about spirituality. I think about human
nature. I think about global warming. I think about getting
married. I think about having children. I think about not having
children, being too worried about the planet. I think about war. I
think about movies and books. I think about philosophy. I think
about clothes. I think about my friends. I think about what to
write in my OkCupid profile. I think about the people reading this,
and what they'll think of me. I think about holidays. I think about
languages. I think about doing homework I should be doing instead.
I think too much...
- sitting at my computer, talking to my fiancé on MSN
- listening to music
- watching a movie
- searching the web on a topic of interest
- reading a book
- eating dinner
- adamantly NOT going out and getting drunk/grinding in clubs/doing
drugs/etc.

Chez moi, espèrant que j'étais quelque part de plus intéressant...
Mmmm... nothing at the moment. I suppose I'll admit that I have no
secrets. Anything about me, there is at least ONE other person in
this world who knows it. But that's all I'm saying! For more, get
to know me. :)

Je n'ai pas de secrèts. Si vous avez une question pour moi,
n'hésitez pas de m'envoyer un message!
