--Basics--
Name? Mara
Age? Fifteen, sixteen in a few months.
Gender? Female
Sexuality? Straight, that I know of at least.
Birthday? January 25th 1989
Code? Kiss me, I'm beautiful.
--Favorites--
Bands/Singers? Matchbox Twenty, Gary Allan, Jason Mraz, Matchbook Romance, Fall Out Boy, NOFX, Green Day, Barenaked Ladies, Keith Urban and many, many more.
Song? That is a really difficult choice but after some consideration I believe it is currently 'Falling for the first time' by the Barenaked Ladies.
Actors? Johnny Depp, Richerd Gere, Ashton Kutcher and Edward Norton.
Actresses? Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson.
Food? To be honest, I love so many different kinds of foods. I love Mexican food though! I love tacos and burritos, it's all good and great to get a different sense of culture.
Book? That's difficult, I have a few; Fahrenheit 451, Harry Potter, The Road Unseen. I'd have to chose Fahrenheit 451 one though because the plot is something that could be seen as futuristic or just imaginary.
TV Show? That 70's Show- That show is so funny!
Movie? That is such a difficult decision for me, I love so many different types of movies that it is very difficult to decide. It's a tie between Pirates Of the Caribbean, American History X and An Officer and A Gentleman. But, if I had to pick just one, I'd chose An Officer and A Gentleman because it has my favorite actor and I love the plot and I'm a sucker for chick flicks.
Color? Green! I love green, especially apple greens. I love all shades and hues though and I could never quite determine why.
--Your Thoughts On-- pick 3 of the following.
-Gay Marriage
-Eating Disorders
-Abortion
-Divorce
-Labels
-Britney Spears
-Animal Testing
-Plastic Surgery: I don't really agree with plastic surgery. I don't think I would do it. But there are some people that would and should be able to make that decision for themselves but with a lot of thought put into the process. It cannot be an in the moment decision or overnight decision because it is a life changing thing. I don't think anyone really needs plastic surgery, not including accidents that may use plastic surgery...but if a person tries and can't be happy with themselves, and they would be happier I think they should be able to have Plastic Surgery... but a person's happiness should not be based off of it. I know this answer is quite vague... I thought I could cover it better. It's one person's choice though and they should have the ability to make that decision.
-Premarital Sex: I don't like how people say that Premarital Sex is wrong, especially the people in my church. Techinically, it goes against my religion as a Christian, it says so in the bible.. or at least that is what everyone keeps telling me. I personally want to wait for sex but I'm not going to look down on you and I can't guarentee that I won't have premarital sex. You should give yourself to the one you love, I believe. If that time comes before marriage, I personally would not want to go through life knowing that the one person it'd really mean something with never happened. If you are going to feel guilty about it, you probably aren't ready... and you should make up your mind beforehand, not in the moment because that moment changes the way you percieve things temporaily. But, it should be everyone's decisions to make for themselves.
-Drugs/Alcohol
--Other Questions--
If you could be anyone in the world, who would it be, and why? I used to think about this a lot and I always wanted to be a star or a friend of mine but lately, I decided that I really don't want to be anyone but me. I like who I am and I like the people in my life and I don't want to change that.
If you could date anyone in the world.. who.. and why? I would date my boyfriend. There is no-one else in the world I would rather be with and around. He is so amazing. Sweet, nice, cute, smart, funny--perfect. He has helped me through a lot and is my bestfriend. I do not want anyone else.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I am really scared to grow up and go through those changes but I would really like to do something with children, like being an English Teacher. I love English and kids! I would like to know that I made a difference in the world and could help someone and English has always been my favorite subject. I'd like to make English fun for my students and be a good teacher.
What are your goals in life? I don't really have many goals for my life right now. The one's I do, I'm not even quite sure of yet. I think too much and anaylze things a lot so it takes a lot of time for me to figure things out. But, I really just want to get into a good college somewhere north of Florida and get married and start a family. I want to be a good wife, teacher, mother----woman.
What is something unique about you? I don't really think there is anything completely unique about me. People have common interests. But, I befriend about everyone and some of my friends don't appriciate it that much... that I've become friends with 'goths', 'punks', 'preps', 'geeks', 'jocks', etc. I just like meeting new people and making friends. I feel really accomplished when I can help someone and be there for them... it makes me feel good about myself.
