I am a human, female, and searching.
My Self-Summary
"She's my Rushmore Max."-
Rushmore
the self expression of my personality.
I am a born and raised first generation
Vancouverite. I was raised in a good
part of town by two very self made strong willed opiniated people,
who of course were, my zimbabwean mother and british father. I am a
middle child of three, and recently came to the realization that
while I was raised with one brother and one sister, my brother had
no brother and only two sisters, this epiphany rocked my world.
People always talk about sibling placement but perhaps the boy girl
ratio is what greatly influences a persons personality, but I
digress. I have spent a year in
New Brunswick, and then a year
in
California,
and now I am home. To say the least, since 2006, I have been turned
upside down inside out spun around 33.7 times blind folded and sent
on my merry way... But hear I am taking off the blind fold and
seeing that I have doubled back and am starting at the begining all
over again.
I am a strong willed, obnoxious, mean, opinionated, humourless
girl. And when I let myself I am very sensitive, shy,
compassionate, nurturing, empathetic, and find myself wanting to
kiss everyones hurts and owies better. CONTRADICTION 101!
I weave in and out of life, spending weeks on end leaving my house
only for work, reading book after book, and generally keeping to
myself. But then I live for the days I spend with friends laughing
at god knows what, eating good food, and connecting and learning
about each other.
Nothing is more satisfying then: meeting a new person and forging a
connection, helping someone with fresh perspective, making someone
else happy, giving great gifts.
To my friends I am a never ending hug who gives it to you straight,
and when life gets hard the biggest shoulders.
All in all I am 19 and there are so many loose ends to myself that
I could ramble forever trying to figure it out.
What I’m doing with my life
I am taking a year to work and save money and if by the end of the
year I don't know what I want to do education wise I am getting out
of this city. I love it so so much but one can't life get too
stagnant.
I’m really good at
Listening to people and giving honest answers and opinions.
Hugs, they hit you right in that sweet spot.
That quiet you have with someone when your truly comfortable.
Hunting down random
artists on myspace.
Total immersion.
The first things people usually notice about me
Not a clue, physically I am average, and people notice the physical
first so it's hard to say. But perhaps my effort to welcome every
new person I encounter into the whatever social setting it is we
are meeting in.
In a none creepy way (when sentences start like that they tend to
be a just what they are stating they not. Ie no offense.) Your
eyebrows and how they complent the shape of your eyes. Is what I
noticed I being

The six things I could never do without
1) A
book in my
bag
2) A song in my head
3) My Family
4) My Friends
5) A place to be by myself
6) A body of water near by
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How much I love the smell of the
ocean.
Keeping off weight.
What book to
read
next.
How come 6 takes so long to roll around once 3 hits.
How I feel like I just turned 12 last year, and how quickly 20 has
arrived.
Kicking the coke zero habit.
Finding entertaining forms of excercise.
That hamster in my brain that wont get off the wheel.
On a typical Friday night I am
Begging of plans because I am le tired.
Reading, contemplating my navel, thinking of how I SHOULD be out,
but my inner old lady says no.
OR
Out with friends, having a couple of drinks and talking about
everything and anything. Hopefully meeting new people and
learning new things.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I struggle with my weight, and its hard, but its got to be
done.
PS: All my pictures are recent, so no worries.
You should message me if
You're looking for a new friend with whom to spend Saturday
afternoons exploring nooks and crannies, going to art galleries,
puttering around
thrift stores, and drinking
coffee.
Also if your looking for an
excercise partner who isn't in the
best of shape but wants to be pushed and tortured in all sorts of
deliciously exhausting activities.
