[ φ the days are long and the nights are longer]
I'm Henna, almost 18, born on the 28th of September, 1992, at 2 in the morning.
According to my mum, giving birth to me was "tough but not the worst thing". After all, she told me, she got to eat all three meals before, give birth, and then eat again the next morning, unlike some poor souls who go into labour in the early morning and don't deliver until night.
If I want to be boring about it, I'd tell you about my interests, hobbies, dislikes, favourite foods, and whatnot. Well, I'll do that first, and maybe it'll become something interesting.
I like to read, and write. I love books almost as much as I love singing. I've dabbled in just about every performing art so far, but I like singing the best. If we're talking interests, it'll be singing, reading, writing, dancing, and acting. Well, basically performing with a bit of bookishness.
The only thing I could consider a hobby is reading. I read obsessively. Fanfiction is my daily fix, and when I want something heavier I read trilogies back-to-back. I read manga, and blogs, and newspapers. I like magazines, too, but they're a bit tough on the pocket when read too much.
The things I dislike are long-distance running and math. The food I dislike...well, it's more of the flavour than the food. The type of people I dislike are your run-of-the-mill gossipy backstabbing hypocritical people, but then again, who doesn't?
My favourite food is ice cream, when I let myself indulge, and apples when I don't. I eat almost all kinds of food, unless they're sour and nothing else, or hot and nothing else. I don't like bitter things, either, but I'm particularly weak with sour stuff.
I like fruit a lot, and given a choice would snack on it 90% of the time. Sometimes it's just nice to have potato chips and the assortment of junk food, though.
I've always been skinny even though I don't like exercise much (since a lot of the normal "exercise" involves tedious things like, oh, running laps). I'm not very tall, either, but since I'm Asian and live in Asia, I'm not exactly short by local standards. Right now I'm about 163cm (or 1.63m/5'4) and swing between 43 and 45 kg (95 - 99 pounds).
I'm not a girly girl, but I'm not that tough, either. I'm not that into boys and dating. I do like dressing up, though. I like blue better than pink, and I'm certainly not a neat freak.
Personally, I'd say that I'm complicated. Getting to know me is like peeling the layers off an onion, and even then there's more to the layer you peeled off than you actually know is there. I'd like to say that I'm a, oh, nice person, but I know I can't. I mean, I have my moments, and they're not always nice.
Growing up, life is/was/still is normal, in that understated way that includes no divorces, no dramatic deaths, and other things like that. I probably didn't grow up totally normal, though~ How much of it is me, and how much is just my environment, I have no idea. But we'll go into that in the post that reads "Describe your parents, in great detail". (Though personally I'd say that "describe your family" is more apt, since Asian families...urgh. It is said that when you marry someone, you marry his entire family as well. Yes, that's how it is here~)
If I can, I want to become a singer. And do writing on the side. But then that's kind of an impossible dream, I guess~ Not that I won't keep trying. It's hard to get me truly immersed and enthusiastic about anything. Everything interests me, but nothing interests me enough. I suppose that's where the "jack of all trades, master of none" saying comes in~
I guess the easiest thing to call me is "chameleon". I change according to the people around me, but there is this core part that stays the same...probably~
I've probably rambled enough (nothing much about my past, but it IS "Introduce yourself", not spew your entire history. Plenty of that will come later~), so I'll stop here. My sleep pattern is totally apeshit, lol, it's so annoying and hilarious that it's even worse than when I slept 2 hours a day or something like that. It's like, I sleep a ton, but it's all over the place, and I can't fall asleep when I want to, and I wake up still tired, plus I can't really sleep well (keep waking up, and all that). Oh, but it'll settle itself or I'll get used to it, so no big deal~
