Attention: You may find during the upcoming month of November that I am alternating between ridiculously hyper and stressed out. This is because of the wonder that is known as NaNoWriMo. Oh how I love it.

I am an obsessive, creative, emotional, hyper, intuitive, empathetic, loving, angry, terrifying, terrified, paranoid, stressed out, panicked, anxious, funny, enthusiastic, sexual, adorable, passionate, overbearing, overwhelming, reactive, energetic, sarcastic, tired, nerdy, geeky, adjective-loving screwed-up trainwreck of a hopeless romantic/zombie enthusiast.

I love writing. It's just what I do. It's kind of what I've always loved doing. Specifically, I write fantasy short stories and novels, and enjoy attempting to sell them. Writing and reading are pretty big parts of me, so someone who at least likes to read is a big plus, if not required. A love of writing and a lack of prejudice against genre writing? Even better. An ability to critique character arcs, plot devices, and remind me not to use so many goddamn adverbs? Perfect!

Anyway, you should certainly continue to read this profile. I promise a land of excitement.

(I can't promise that. What you find exciting may differ from what I find exciting. Also I may just be boring right now. Damn.)

Going to college, going to Ireland for spring break, hopefully going to Alpha again in the summer, hopefully going to Clarion some summer after that, writing the best that I can, meeting new people, hoping for love, and generally just trying to survive.

I'm currently a freshman at IUPUC. I'm transferring up to Ball State next year to double major in History and Japanese Studies. The career plan right now is to go into library or museum work, but we'll see where life takes me.

Writing - or so I hope.

Daydreaming.

Babbling on and on about nothing in particular.

Having pointless conversations.

Having meaningful conversations.

Listening.

Making random Doctor Who references.

And not writing profiles.

My dark, dark soul.

Honestly, I'm not sure. At one point, I would've said my hair - back when it was long and half-blue. But now I'm at shoulder-length and just brown, so, probably not. Some people have said my sense of style, which is slightly out of the norm, but has been complimented. I tend to dress pretty nicely - although, really, nice long skirts feel casual to me. I don't where pants. It's just personal preference.

Obviously not full lists. I could go on forever, but I won't. I could especially add to books and movies. Agh. Must. Stop. Self. From. Making. Giant. Lists.

On movies, before I continue, I'm a huge, huge horror movie fan. I basically spent my first week of summer watching After Dark Horrorfest movies - they sucked, for the most part, but I'm enamored with bad horror movies just as much as I am with the really good, scary ones. However, I don't tend to like camp very much. I like suspense, I like supernatural, I like gore. I've never really been into pure gore like Hostel and Saw, though they're somewhat enjoyable, because they aren't scary. You know everyone's going to die in the end, anyway. But I'm big on horror movies and I'd love to find someone who shares that attraction.

1) My phone, for texting and calling
2) Books, because they are apart of my life
3) A notebook and pen, for when inspiration hits
4) My laptop and some key DVDs
5) My friends, because I love them
6) My MP3 player, because I can't live without music

Love, my friends, my failures, my successes, my most recently read books, my writing, music, movies, death, how the mind works, how I can finally get in shape, and...way too much more.

Either:

At home, reading, writing, watching a movie, etc.

Or any other number of things, really. I love being out with friends, but I'm not a partier. I'm a "lay in the grass, stare at the stars, and talk" sort of person.

When I am in a new place, my mind inevitably drifts to, "What would I do if the zombie apocalypse happened right now? What are my exits? My available weapons?"

You call it paranoid, I call it prepared.

Well, you want to, obviously. But also if you're looking for a good friend, or maybe something more. I'm also kind of...sick of long-distance at the moment, so if you're thinking of "something more," being nearby would be fantastic.

A couple things I'd also like to clarify:

I'm not little. I'm short, but I'm overweight. I know it. I have a full-body picture up because I don't see the point in hiding it. Yeah, I'm trying to eat better and get in shape, but it's a slow process. If you're looking for a hundred-pound girl, it's not me, and it never will be, so keep going. That being said, I would like someone who's active, because I want to be more active. I like walking and running around and playing.

I'm not looking for playing in a relationship, however. I'm not looking to hook up. I want something long-term. So, if you just want a playmate, move on.
