I'm Sharon, but most people call me Sheri. I think I'm really cool...some of the time. Other times, I hate myself. I'm not here for sex. Or a relationship, really. I just like to talk to people. So, keep your comments to yourselves, please. Unless they are compliments. I do love a good compliment.

I have a BBF! bulimicgiraffee is awesome. To death. Even though she tries to act all proud when her pants are on backwards.

I don't have perfect grammar and spelling, but I do appreciate an effort. This is the kind of place where I don't get to judge your body language or vocal inflection. So when someone IM's me and says "hey your hot do you have a lot of sex wat ur number" I just... get really sad about the state of humanity.

I like that I have such a "long" profile. People can't describe themselves accurately, but I think that the way they talk about themselves gives you more information than what they are actually saying. You may have noticed that I have a moderately formal way of speaking, but that I use a lot of contractions and some slang. You may also have noticed that I have a lot to say, and I can talk and talk and talk. I always have something to say about something, and it usually means something. I also like metaphors, and I use them quite frequently. Often, people don't see past what I'm saying to delve into what I mean, but that's why I choose my words fairly carefully. I like to make the surface meaning match the deeper meaning, so nobody misses out. But, someone who investigates a bit further might find out that when I say I'm Okay, I really am...but only with someone's action and not intention. Or vice-versa. Or something else entirely.

If you talk to me and I use a lot of one word replies, I'm not interested. I'm just too nice to tell you so. Do yourself a favour and move on. I am usually up to chat, but if you are boring, I'm not going to make the effort to liven up the conversation. I have real friends to talk to, and I don't really need you to ask me "Sup". You don't care.

I'm really funny. I promise. I also amuse myself in things that other people don't know about/think are funny. So I'll be sitting at a kirtan and chanting to Ganesh, and notice that "Shri" is almost my name. And I'll start to giggle, and my friends will laugh at me, and there is no possible way yo explain why it's so funny.
I believe I have the heart of a poet. I can describe things, people, events, objects......And I can use the most beautiful language sometimes. It comes and goes, though. Other times, I'm at a loss for words. Or, I don't say what I'm thinking because I think straitjackets look really uncomfortable.

I'm not sure why I'm still hanging around on this kind of stupid site. It obviously doesn't have a very good matching system, cause I'm a 100% match with myself.....and if I was with myself in real life, I'd break up with me. So what's the point? Oh, I think gay marriage is important. So does some other person. We're obviously a match. *rolls eyes* And yet....I am addicted. So, I guess we'll see what side wins out in the end.

I'm one of those people who like to think that they are constantly changing, but really, I'm just discovering myself a little more at a time. And I like to edit my profile just about every two days. And I usually like to post notes/journals/blogs but I haven't really on this site. Which is a little strange for me. I am so interested in myself, and in other people. I like to know everything, and I love to answer the questions people ask me.

Comparatively, this is not that much to read. But, if you are still reading my profile thoroughly, and not simply skimming, and you think I'm awesome or crazy, send me a message. I always reply, even if you seem pervy or weird.

I am an over thinker and a risk analyst. I think of all the possible outcomes for any thing I am going to do or say or any decision I make. Then I try to imagine the possible effects those outcomes will have, and then i can begin to choose whether or not I am going to make the decision at all.
I'm the kind of person you can take your secrets to, because I'm really serious most of the time. Sometimes, I can get really silly. I am really cool, but don't take my word for it. And I'm pretty much the most important person in my life. So, I'm sure I can be the most important person in your life too!

I am chilling right now. Working, learning, loving, living.
I'm at FCC doin' the digital media thing, and working at a preschool, which I really really love. I'm trying to meet new people, because, as someone told me once, I need a lot of attention.
I'm not so sure that that's specifically true, but....if everyone I know gives me a little bit, I'm pretty sure nobody will have to go out of their way. Hence, the OKC account.
I've been doing a lot of art lately...painting, drawing, and writing. I'm a terrible poet. I like to use poetry to express my emotions, not to impress. However, if you want to check out my deviantart at lj300.deviantart.com, I bet you can learn more about what's going on in my life.

I'm a pretty awesome artist. I'm not skilled enough to make actual money with it, but I love to write and sing and dance(terribly) and draw and paint. Especially draw and paint. I'm a really good painter.

I'm also good at getting handles on people. After I talk to you for awhile, I can pretty much predict what you're going to say. And then I get bored.

I have pretty good intuition. For anyone who doesn't believe in it...well, okay. I don't really care. But if I get a feeling about something, I'm typically pretty accurate.

Each of my pictures look like it's a different person, but it's not.
I just look different all the time.
I'm absolutely insane. Well, probably not. But my mind does function in a way that many others can't seem to comprehend. Sometimes, when I'm hanging with people for a long time, they start to understand me. But I'm typically a girl of few words, so my body language and tone communicate much more effectively than the words I say. So I suppose that's why I'm difficult to comprehend sometimes.

I love to read, and my favorite books right now are the books in the gunslinger series by Stephen King. Although, I've never read a Stephen King that I didn't enjoy. I'm also kind of ashamed to admit that I got caught in in the Stephanie Meyer series. And I don't think that having a vampire as a boyfriend seems to be good; especially one as abusive as Edward. And that's all I'll say on that topic. I love trashy romance novels and stupid teenybopper books. Also, I'm a sucker for children's books. Artemis Fowl, The Series of Unfortunate Events, and the Princes Diaries are all pretty awesome. I'm a pretty fast reader, so I can't keep myself in books. Therefore, I've read more books this year than most people do in their whole lives. It's a pretty sad life. But not really. Oh! Speaking of sad....I HATE happy endings. With a passion. I think that's why I love the Stephen King books. Because if the main character make is, all the people around him suffer/die. And you know what? That's what happens in real life, too.You know how they say you can't judge a book by it's cover? Well, that's straight up stupid. The cover has the title and usually a synopsis. When I go to the library, I pick an aisle and I randomly pick about five books just by the spine. Then I go and pick about five more from authors I know.

I don't do scary movies though. I like movies that make me laugh. And animated children movies. And, as much as anyone knocks them, the Disney moves from about 1998 and before were works of art, and they are all beautiful. And very very entertaining. :) The art in some of them is beautiful, and the talent of the voice actors surpasses anything made today.
Some of my favorite movies, in order of when i can remember them, are:
Labyrinth, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Beauty and the Beast, Silence of the Lambs, The Princess Bride, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Catch and Release, The Three Musketeers, and Men in Black.

I really like old-time music. I swear, nobody sings like Sinatra. And Dean Martin. But I also like a bunch of other kinds. My problem is that I never remember song titles or artist names.
And I love to eat the oriental flavored Ramen noodles. And the mushroom Swiss boca burger at Denny's. With hash browns.

My mattress- I have a bad back and I don't sleep well. I love my mattress. :)

Tea-I drink an ungodly amount of tea.

A cool breeze-I'm sitting here right now with my window open, and it feels divine.

My light-up crayola toothbrush-Hygiene is a big thing for me. Plus, it's red. and light up. and I do a little dance every time I brush my teeth.

Music-I never live my life in silence. I mostly don't care what's playing...depending on my mood. If I'm feeling emotional, I like fast/hard music. Then, when I'm calming down, I like softer classical or celtic or a 40's crooner. At parties, I like hip-hop or whatever you can dance to, and while I'm just surfing the web, I listen to "soft alternative"

Friends-Are the most important things in my life. I love my friends. They tell me what I need to hear, what I want to hear, and they keep me happy.

I like to think about God. I'm not sure if I believe in Him. I'm trying to decide what I'm all about. I think about religion, and how much I truly hate it.
And I love to think about people. People are so interesting sometimes, don't you think? I also like to imagine little scenarios. Like, me walking up to someone and doing something that just changes their life forever. I want to leave my mark on everybody, even if they don't even realize what I've done.

Sitting at home reading. Or sometimes surfing the internet. Or babysitting. Let me tell you, babysitting is a sweet deal. You hang out with some little kids for a couple of hours and get like 50 bucks! It's a great thing, but it generally keeps my social life down a little so I have a sad Friday night schedule.

I believe in my dreams. Sometimes, I'll avoid someone because they were mad at me in a dream. Other times, I'll expect chemistry with another because we were together.

On the other hand, some of my dreams have come true.

You need someone awesome. Or think I seem confusing. Except let me just tell you now that I don't even get me, so I'm pretty sure you won't either.
Also, I'm only 18. So when people who are old enough to be my dad message me, it freaks me out.
