I am motivated, thoughtful, and silly.

My Self-Summary

Hi! The name's Carrie and if you can think of a better one or a nickname I'd love to hear it! I'm pretty relaxed and laid back when I get the chance to which is increasingly difficult to do as the semester continues! I love to go out and do things whenever the opportunity presents itself. I'm a little shy and quiet around new people but very fun once you get to know me. I am looking for someone I share many interests with and someone that I can spend time with and just feel comfortable around. I am looking for a relationship, but don't have any expectations; sort of rolling with the punches, I guess. I have every intention of taking things slowly and really finding an amazing friendship before rushing into something labeled. I rush everything and it hasn't worked out once... I love to watch movies. I prefer action movies over romance. I love tattoos and have 2 of my own (hopefully more once I have a constant source of income instead of perpetually being a broke-ass student). I am an honest, loving person who gives more than she gets most times. However, I am extremely busy during the semester and don't have much time to offer someone as far as weekend hangouts and such.

As far as what I want in a guy, I sort of have an idea of what I want. Usually I am drawn to artists both musical and otherwise, but I am an equal opportunity kinda girl =). I am not shallow but unfortunately, I am always more attracted men who are taller than I am. I feel like such an idiot saying that, but honesty is the best policy...I've had my fair share of assholes and mind games and do not want anymore of it. I want someone who'll be able to handle my hectic schedule and not make me feel guilty for being busy. I need to have my own personal life while he has his. But naturally, there must be things which we share together, just the two of us, as well as with our friends. My lifestyle now isn't conducive to a needy or clingy relationship. I need someone who can be as independent as I am.

I love doing really random things. I've baked muffins without eggs. I've gotten lost trying to just take a walk in the woods/my small town. I hate paying for gas. I miss the days when people called me on the phone instead of texting. But I am totally addicted to texting. I really am quite a hypocrite when it comes to the whole "practice what you preach" deal.

I'm am a junior in college majoring in English and Theatre and hope to own my own theatre company eventually. If ya want to get to know more, message me, because quite frankly, I can't think of anything more to write...Probably because I'm writing this at 5am.

What I’m doing with my life

Right now I am a student. I'm concentrating on Stage Management and playwriting now, but hope to delve into all kinds of designing and technical things.

I’m really good at

listening to people, writing, photography, Stage Managing, useless information, discovering different and interesting websites, crocheting, being crafty, cooking, baking, doing dishes and laundry, jigsaw puzzles, listening to music you haven't heard of, having incredibly soft skin, having at least one candle lit in my room at all times, wearing noisy jewelry.

if you'd like proof or the ability to make your own decisions of my "talent" here goes:

The six things I could never do without

Hmm, my best friends, music, books, photographs, eyesight, ears.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Everything. Usually losing sleep because my mind won't shut up.

On a typical Friday night I am

If I don't have rehearsal...I'm either with friends, watching a movie, or at home doing some work I've procrastinated too long on. Pretty lame, I know. However, I am up until about 4am every night so I get a lot done when everyone else is sleeping.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I please others before I please myself...take that in any context you'd like.

You should message me if

Any of this has interested you. Really...feel free.
