please, let me feel elite too
Name: Taz...I'm not yet sure if this community is literate enough to pronounce my name.
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
Location: Rockland, New York
Social Security Number: I have quite a few to choose from.
Top 3 bands: Tegan and Sara, Straylight Run, Taking Back Sunday
Top 2 movies: Bridget Jones's Diary, Kill Bill

Why do you want to be a literite?: I think literite is supposed to be ironic. I like irony, it makes me feel like I'm a device in a piece of literature.
How do you demonstrate intellectual capabilities?: I wake up every morning and drag myself to school. Otherwise, I like current events; I may not be passionately opinionated, but I try to stay informed. I try to read outside of my school assignments even if it is a stretch sometimes. I like to dabble in anything that makes me feel like I'm using my brain.
Through which medium[s] do you channel your intellectual gifts?: Oh, how wordy. I try to surround myself with friends whom I can carry an intelligent conversation with every once in a while. Sometimes that's hard to find with high school friends. I am a vacuum for pop culture knowledge, but that's more something I like doing because of my job, not because I simply want to do. I also Google a lot. I try to draw, read, play guitar, and other random things that I can access as my free time permits.
Political Status: I'm liberal on most issues, but I have no political party affiliation (obviously not old enough to vote anyway).
Career goals: Hmm, I don't know, maybe a teacher/historian/social worker if I don't have kids and skip meals.
Marital Status: Single.
Describe yourself in 4-5 sentences: I'm a very organized person I think; it really helps me appear literate if I'm not really so. I wish I had more time to do things that I think are intellectually stimulating, but school feels like a waste of time. I don't think I'm special, and I don't think I fit in to any categories. I don't think I'm smarter or better than anyone. I just like to think.
Opinion on drugs and alcohol: I've taken a drag and tasted it, respectively, so I guess I can't say, "Never touched them." It's not important to me. I don't mind if you do it, but I'd discourage it if I cared about you, and I wouldn't smoke or drink just to have a good time.
If you could live and do anything in the world, where/what would it be?: I would have someone to love and be somewhere exotic, like those cute little villas in Europe I see in movies. Oh, they're just precious.
I'm not sure how pictures of me make me more or less literate...says the ugly girl. I wish I were cool enough to regularly take pictures of myself in my bathroom, but alas, I am not. Let's call this experimenting!
