Do You
Plan ahead or live for the moment?: Depends on what it is. Usually live for the moment though.
Make friends easily?: Pretty darn. I usually meet people at the same time my sister does. If she doesn't like someone, I pretty much know I won't like them either. That and the fact that I'm like my late grandmother...I turn around in line and just talk to random people
Cherish your family?: I learned to the hard way...about a month ago, I was talking on the phone to who I thought was my uncle, and then found out that he had died about 15 minutes before the phone call took place, and it was actually his son calling from jail...And I have an identical twin. We're best friends. I can't not cherrish family.
Feel that brains are more important that beauty?: Of course. What's beauty if you can't figure out simple things?
Judge someone by their musical taste?: No, or I would seriously have no friends.
Take risks?: How big does it have to be to be considered a risk? I don't think I take many...my sister may have a different opinion of this.
Allow yourself to be creative?: I have teachers that force me to be. It actually says on my report card that I am gifted in "creativity." Please explain to me how someone can judge that?
Open up easily?: Only to my sister. I keep everyone else at a bit of a distance until I know them really well.
Have any true passions?: music. I can teach myself almost any instrument if I have a book and an hour.
Believe in one true love?: I'm not sure. I guess I can only answer that if I ever meet him.
Miscellaneous
Make us laugh with a joke, story, or picture: Okay, my first curse word. I've been cursin' like a sailor since I was two. My mom bought an ant farm, and in order put the ants into the farm, you have to stun them by refrigerating them. Evidently, they weren't in the fridge long enough, because they come in this tube, and when my mom squeezed it to get the ants out, they started going everywhere: the kitchen table, the floor, you name it, they were there. So my older sister and my cousing start trying to kill them all and catch some of them. I lean over the floor (and remember, I'm only two at the time), and scream "Sh!t, Mom! There's one right here!"
Sorry...my humorous side is more sarcastic remarks than jokes....
Tell us a little-known fact about you: I can clap with one hand. No, seriously, I can bang my fingers against the bottom of my hand and clap.
What makes you different?: I'm different, because I'm the same. Does that make sense? I look like someone else, yet I'm her complete opposite. Oh, and I answer to other people's names more than my own. I have seriously called myself my sister's name.
What is your weakness?: Dark chocolate, or there's this really good French cheese called "allouette" that tastes really good on baguette.
Brilliant Beauty
Flatter the Mods: You guys are great. Seriously. Like, amazing.
Prettiest Member: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Smartest Member: Don't know any of them personally, and even if I did, you're all probably smart in a different area.
What makes someone "brilliant"?: being able to make a mistake and admit it, then learn from it and continue on with life.
What makes someone "beautiful"?: Having a great personality. For example, I have two girls in my class who are both incredibly talented. One of them actually quit school so she could move to Nashville and pursue a music career. But the difference between them is that the one I consider beautiful is the one that didn't quit school, doesn't treat people like she's better than them, doesn't constantly talk about herself but is genuinely interested in you and could talk to you about something all day, and when she's famous (because there's no doubt in my mind that one day she will be famous), I'm going to look at her and tell my kids, "I grew up with her. She was a great person." the other, if I saw on TV, I would either say "that girl was a total b!tch when I knew her" or just deny that I had ever come in contact with her, because she just plain rude to me and my friends.
Why do you want to join?: I just think it seems like a friendly community, and I saw that no one had posted for a while and was wondering why that was.
Vanity
Post at least 3 pictures of yourself with at least 1 clear shot of your face and one clear shot of your body.
I'm the cripple in the middle. On the left is one of my best friends, Laura, and on the right is obviously my sister, Courtney.
My freshman yearbook picture.
Me on a bus on the way to Washington DC. You can see that the heat wasn't working by noticing the ice on the window behind me.
Me before a farewell dance for eighth graders. I'm the dork on the right that's wearing a sports watch with a dress.
Post a 100x100 picture of yourself
I hate that picture, but o well.
Let it be made known, the ones that I'm not wearing glasses are porbably the most recent (with the exception of the bus picture) because I got contacts so I could play in a volleyball game without breaking my glasses.
