About Me:
Hi! I'm an huge animal lover and I've got four dogs (two of which are shelter dogs) and a cat, all of whom are spoiled. I volunteer at my local no-kill animal shelter three days a week at their adoption center (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and I'm there all day Saturday and Sunday. I'm the sort of volunteer that works as hard as she can and knows most of the ropes so I can boss people around but I try not to. I want to be a vet tech when I grow up and, while I'd love to move as far away from my crappy hometown as possible, it's not practical so I'll probably end up going to a community college about an hour away with the program.
I'm going to get a tattoo with the word 'LOVE' tattooed on my left arm, in support of To Write Love On Her Arms, next year. I got my neon green Chuck Taylors last month and I love them; I wear them every day (except for Saturday and Sunday). I've got a temper but it usually comes out in the tear version, not in the yelling-at-people version. I'm overweight and it's something that people make fun of me for but I just laugh it off; what goes around comes around. I'm that crazy girl in class that has a free pass to Guidance whenever need be, mainly due to my significantly better Social Anxiety Disorder, but I occassionally have to use it to calm down when something gets to me (I have nervous ticks, which is all my anxiety, and they get worse the longer I sit somewhere uncomfortably). I'm known for being blunt when it comes to saying a lot of things. I'm friends with a lot of guys--by choice--and I'm the only girl out of maybe ten guys a lot, which doesn't bother me. I'm probably the most least-anxious Social Anxiety Disorder sufferer you've ever met; yes, I have triggers but I no longer know what they are anymore so it's a guessing game.
I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs but, if you do, all power to you; it's your life: who am I to say what you should do with it? On the other hand, I'm an anti-suicide supporter; I've been in that hole before and I hate seeing people it in. I don't see those who go through with it as weak; someone just didn't reach out and save them in time.
Music: Rock, reggae, heavy metal, pop, 80's, 70's and tons more.
Books: Scifi, romantic fiction, nonfiction, historical fiction, short stories.
Films/TV: Hellcats, Obsessed, I watch a lot of different things. It's whatever interests me and that could just as easily be something on the History Channel about Hitler to iCarly.
Pen Pal Information:
How many penpals do you have? One. I had several but they fizzeled out, some my fault, some not.
How many penpals do you want? Doesn't matter to me!
E-Mail or Snail Mail? E-mail.
How long are your letters? I like to ramble.
How long does it take you to reply to a letter? No more than two days.
Gender Preference? Either.
Age preference? 15 to 25, I guess? I don't really care.
Where in the World? Anywhere!
What are you looking for in a penpal? They've got to love animals and be okay with me rambling on about my shelter work because it's pretty much my life outside of school. They've also got to be okay with mental disorders--I don't talk about mine much anymore but I will mention them on occassion. Other than those two, that's it.
E-mail me at alwaysawriter@hotmail.com and tell me you're from LJ in the subject line or comment on here if you want to be my penpal. :)
