Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I'm Shannon. I love horror movies and video games. I smoke cloves, and yes, I'm aware of the implied pretentiousness. I'm not religious. I'm fascinated with mythology and urban legends and weird coincidences, but I don't believe in ghosts. I never forget birthdays and I always sit with my back to the wall.

That's just a smattering of dubiously semi-useful information.

If you want to know something, just ask.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I'm currently working on a degree from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major in Classics and English Writing, concentration in Poetry (for now, at least) - don't ask me what I'm going to do with it, though, because I have no idea. I also work at the counseling center in the William Pitt Union - 'work,' here, being very loosely used, because all I really do is download porn and surf the internet while chatting with my friends. But I get a hefty sum of money each month for doing it, so I'm certainly enjoying it!

I'm really good at Propose an edit

inventing creative insults, out-drinking everyone in the room, procrastinating, recognizing minor actors and actresses in other roles, remembering birthdays, making extensively detailed lists, enabling people.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I'd like to say my lovely green eyes or perhaps my smile, but let be honest: we all know where our eyes first gaze when we're checking someone out, and it's generally not anywhere near the facial region. My septum ring throws some people off, too.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Aside from the obvious: red meat, poetry, clove cigarettes, my laptop & a sturdy internet connection, double java mocha whatever, and a notebook.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

I'd like to think that I have not yet sunk so far into the pit of routine mediocrity that I have a 'typical' anything, but I'd probably be lying to myself. And you!

Well, most likely I'm either at a friend's for a get-together, playing video games, or reading, but I've been known to deviate from those fairly often. I'm usually always up for going out.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

Please, I barely admit private things to my closest friends.
