About me:

Myspace Layouts

Who I'd like to meet:
"I was not alone, for foolhardiness was not then mixed with that love of the grotesque and the terrible which has made my career a series of quests for strange horrors in literature and in life."- H.P. Lovecraft, "The Lurking Fear"

W h a t .Y o u. S e e

At first glance, I am a young woman who stands before you and seems like just another face that sits upon the top shelf. I am fairly small; standing at only 5'1" with only 112lbs to keep my feet on the ground, I can be easy to miss in a crow. I'm told that my eyes seem so unique, alluring some even say, with their warm amber color that fades to a gray. So many emotions swirl within these eyes...Passion, sorrow, desire, longing, understanding, tenderness, stress, anger, love...At least, that is what I'm told. But this is only the outside. What is seen when one first looks at me.


W h a t .I. A m

While I smile and laugh, I am not preppy or energetic and while my tastes lean more towards the darker themes, I am not depressed. I am the quiet one among the group. More times than none, I speak very little though I do not fear to speak my opinion. I have an abstract, philosophical- yet realistic- mind. Often expecting the worse to happen but hoping for the best, I dub myself 'the optimistic pessimist'. I strive for peace and balance, generally settling disputes with logic and words over physical action. Though I am not afraid to get rough if it is in defense of a friend. I would do anything for a friend, gladly walking along side them in their darkest of hours to offer whatever comfort and advice I can give. I am told that I'm wise beyond my years and mature; though I only use my own experiences to relate to others in need in hopes of helping them. Due to this, I am told that I can accomplish great things. One friend told me I was a guardian; another said I was a fallen angel, though I do not see it; but again, I'm told that I'm not suppose to see it...

What I see is a young woman searching for her niche in the world. I do not walk alone; I have my boyfriend and my dearest of friends as support, though there is still a lot I have yet to uncover about myself. As of right now, I stand with only a high school diploma as I try to decide which path I want to follow career wise. I'm torn between my love for art with wanting to major in writing; wanting to perhaps one day publish a novel or create scripts for games or film- maybe even doing some independent work. Or do I follow my curiosity of the human mind and emotions to major in psychology; continuing to help those who feel lost; to better understand why we think the way we do. Or do I do both...?


E x p r e s s i o n

I am very imaginative; I spend a lot of time daydreaming. I am a large supporter of the arts, and often encourages others to embrace their desire to express themselves through a form of art. My main outlet to express myself is through writing. (Normally I write something that is a mixture of horror, suspense, and drama with character development and vibrant imagery being the main focuses.) As a child before I knew how to write, I would draw out pictures that told a story; in a way, creating a verbal comic. My love to create stories and develop characters grew deeper as she grew. Each character tends to carry a view or characteristic of myself or is inspired by a friend.

As of March, I began to learn to play the cello. After having seen the Finnish "cello metal" band, Apocalyptica, live, I grew to love the instrument for the more she listened to it, the more it seemed to speak for my inner self. The low, deep tones seemed to soothe me, making me feel the need play the instrument in order to release some lingering thoughts and emotions. Currently, I play on a standard, student maple cello with a fiberglass bow but have plans to invest in a better cello by the end of the year.

T i m e .K i l l e r

If I am not at work, I am mainly hovering around at home for the desire to be out in public is something I rarely feel. I like spending time with her closest friends, often engaging in a game with them. I own many systems with a wide variety of games; my favorites normally being survival horror games. Generally, any game with a rich plot and notable characters satisfy me.

I am a fan of horror and anything that can make the mind thing. While reading is something I hardly do, I have no problems with settling down with something written by Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, George Orwell, or Philip K. Dick. Though I also enjoy Max Brooks' zombie books. My taste in movies is not much different- unless you count my strange liking for foreign or independent films- with some of notable favorites being: The Haunting, The Mist, A Scanner Darkly, We are the Strange (independent), Vidoq (French), Pan's Labyrinth, The Orphanage, Session 9, and the Matrix films. Rarely do I watch TV, but I do enjoy some anime (such as Evangelion, Ergo Proxy, Paranoia Agent, Death Note, Broken Saints, Ghost in the Shell, and Shin-Chan). Though I am a fan of the Big Bang Theory and Ghost Adventures...Everything else is mainly just background noise if I turn the TV on.

When it comes to music, I enjoy hard rock to melodic metal. Anything with the use of classical instruments mixed with the fast, furious pace of rock can become an almost instant favorite of mine. A few favorite bands include: Apocalyptica, In Flames, Staind, Dream Theater, Three Days Grace, Perfect Circle, Opeth, Seether, and Chevelle. To me, music is a way to express my thoughts and emotions without speaking myself.

How's the intonation and so forth coming? I play guitar, so my left hand is already pretty quick. I imagine vibrato must be hard on a cello.
Angelo

G major? I can do that in 3 octaves. :P

But hey, as a fellow string player, this may be relevant to your interests...

I have it on my violin, and it really takes the guess work out of playing scales. If there's no picture on the site, look it up. Best money I spent on my instrument.

I've seen you ask yourself that question times before. Unsureity can be a very trivial thing. The answer wont come untill you accept it.
Justin





Apr 11 2009 5:30 AM

I have to say... You've really surprised me these last few posts. I barely do know you outside of the obvious, yet you seem to know exactly what I'm going through. Yeah, I'm an SGA too (probably got promoted around the same time you did, heh), and it's been back and forth. You're also right that it's my group that keeps me going. What I didn't add to that post was the fact that my co-workers all wanted to high-five me after I kicked that display (it was one of the Game Day sales bins, so it didn't even damage it). I pretty much feel the same way in terms of being lonely at the moment too. It's not anyone's fault I feel this way. I just... do at the moment, and I hope it comes to pass sooner than later (because I know it will either way, just want to get there). Thank you once again. I almost feel like I do know you at this point, and that's both awesome and creepy at the same time.
:P

Have you ever heard of Rasputina? They are a Cello-rock band, and they do all sorts of cool stuff.


You might, or might not, I suppose, like them.

Wow, that's pretty steep

How's playing/lessons working out for you?
Kenneth





Apr 4 2009 3:17 AM

Yes, unfortunately they get rather expensive...especially the high end ones

I know the top of the line Bass strings(Thomastik) start at $80 a set
Angelo

Lol, he really was vulgar in real life, from what I understand... I just think it's funny of the greatest musical geniuses of our time was such a dickhead.

Also... I see you play cello, are you, by chance, an Apocalyptica fan?
Justin





Mar 28 2009 3:03 AM

Thanks for the recommendation, though I can happily say that I bought Persona 4 on day one, and I agree, it follows the exact same type of premise of one confronting oneself (I admit, I was also playing it a few days before this dream happened ^^;;; ). I think I'm also starting to finally figure out the things I wanted to. Thanks again for all of your input too, as I think it's all very true to heart.
Justin





Mar 23 2009 11:42 PM

Thank you. I actually didn't expect a response from you about that, but it's really appreciated and I'll take everything you said to heart too. About to put up another blog about the whole thing too.

Holy crap, the new Power Rangers use Celestial Brush techniques!

All I will say is that there is more too it than what has been said. I'm not going to drag anyone who isn't apart of it into it, so I will keep it as vague as possible.

I deleted it. I got tried of the lost freedom and a few other undisclosed things.

How the hell do you just know where your finger goes for a certain note?! o.

That's gonna be a hell of a lot of fun when you can!! :P

Jan 22 2009 5:00 AM

Hurray for FINALLY getting that cello!! :D
Congrats.
I still want one, too.

Oh, okay. You're pretty much set, then.

Are you going to take lessons, or are you just going to learn by ear?

How goes it with the cello?
