Place all your bets, and watch me lose.
HEH-HEY!
Wow, that was very enthusiastic. I'll let you know right now, I'm not at all that...perky normally. *smirk*
I decided to make my journal Friends Only about a year or so ago, because I had (and still have, actually) all these people friending me that I didn’t know, and who had created their LJ a few months ago, and only had two or three posts, if that. If I don’t know you, I’m not going to friend you. I explain lower down in this post, it’s not difficult to get the proceedings on mutual friending with me started.
So. That's the reason for the change. It just makes me slightly uncomfortable when all these random people are friending me with no prompting and no real permission. *shrug*
So, hello. My name's Cassie. I'm 24 years old at the moment, and sort of...in between. I started college in 2006 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; I was an english major, but realized quickly that I wasn't at all ready for school. So at the moment, I'm taking some time off, looking for a job, and trying to figure out my life.
Not a lot goes on here...I update maybe once every two weeks or so. If I'm feeling really ambitious, or I have a lot of crazy quizzes and memes to post, then it might get bumped to twice every two weeks or so.
I know, I know. You can barely contain your excitement. It happens to the best of us. :D
I suppose I should post some type of Disclaimer or w/e...
Disclaimer: I do use foul language. That contains profanity, words society may frown upon in public, the taking of the Lords name in vain...stuff like that. I talk about sexual situations, I discuss issues of homosexuality, politics, religion, etc (not a lot. really never, but it has come up, so just to be sure, I'll put it up).
It's mostly just a place for me to voice my thoughts on whatever subject is flitting around my mind at the moment. It'll be a lot about my personal life. About what I've been doing lately. Nothing too horrible. /end Disclaimer.
I have two writing journals (well, one journal and one community), doggie_dreams (I'd use the little LJ name link thing, but for some reason, this post won't let me) and
The journal is completely open (not FO) as well as the community. I try to update one if I update the other, but I will warn you, I update those even less than I update this :p I manage the community with my bestest,hyperactivegirl She also has a few writing journals of her own, but I’ll let you explore her world on your own.
I'm on the computer A LOT. My SN is chuckles4134, so if you see something you like in here, totally IM me, see what's up. I'm always up for conversation (unless I'm really not, and then I'll usually tell you) and am totally in love with questions. Ask away!
I'm (I was) an English major, but no I don't want to be a writer, and no I don’t want to be a teacher. I want to be a Book Editor, or a Proof-reader. I think I'm leaning more towards the Proof-reader, but I'm not sure of the actual definition of either profession, so we'll see. But when someone sat me down one day and was like, 'to be frank: what would you want to do for the rest of your life?' and I answered, 'I want to read books.' it narrows the field.
I have all kinds of interests. Things that seem rather obvious and things that might surprise you. I've wanted to travel since...forever. It probably started around the time I really got into reading, and I was picking up book after book and reading about people's interesting lives all over the world. I'd like to visit all 50 States, and can't wait for the Nora Roberts Road Trip my bestest and I plan on taking. I’m not Irish (because I like to talk, I'll add: I’m Hungarian, Dutch, Polish and German), but I’ve wanted to visit Ireland for the longest time. After that, Italy maybe. Australia. Germany. Russia. England. Scotland. Everywhere :p
I've always liked watching other people cook, but am not nearly as talented or interested in the actual cooking as another friend of mine. He's pretty much awesome in the kitchen, and I leave him to it.
I read. A lot. Books, fanfiction, LJ posts, magazine articles, the occasional (and rare) newspaper article. I’m not much into Non-fiction. If I wanted to read about real life and the nasty things that can happen to you out there, I would just go out and sit on a street corner. See what happens. I pick up a book and start reading for the sole purpose of losing myself and my world around me. I’ve been known to start reading and need to be shaken to bring me back to myself. Reading is the escape, and books are the way to do it.
Movies and TV Shows. I have a few Shows that I try to watch religiously, making the time to sit down and watch them every week, making sure nothing clashes with my scheduled viewing. Supernatural has been one from the beginning, when my younger brother and I saw an encore showing of the Pilot and fell in love with the thrills and chills even in that first episode. One Tree Hill is another that I was hooked on right from the start. I recently re-watched all the seasons, starting with that famous River court one-on-one between Lucas and Nathan, to our most recent…debacle.
I’m a crazy Disney Fangirl, for almost anything with the Disney D attached to it somewhere. I don’t really like Pinocchio, and I’m not too fond of the majority of the Disney Sequels, but there’s so much more to love, I think I can make up for it. Hercules has been one of my favorite movies since the moment I saw it, and 101 Dalmatians is a close second. I will be in love with Pongo until the day I die, and if there were a man out there like that cartoon dog, I’d be set for life.
I'm a shameless flirt and a horrible gossip. I'm nosy and not someone you want to come to with petty and un-important secrets. I'm too judgemental and hold grudges like a champ. But on the flip-side, I can be an amazing friend, if you go the distance and stick around to get there. I can keep a secret, even from myself if I have to, and would do anything for those I call friend. I try not to lie, especially to myself.
I'm a lot of things. I have all kinds of crazy interests. Talk to me, get to know me. I think I can be pretty interesting *smirk*
So there you have it. I'm pretty laid-back and easy-going. Just comment on this entry with how you know me, or where you found me, and maybe an explanation of why you want to be added. What we have in common.
It's that easy. :)
Thanks so much!
