One day I'm going to grow wings.
After three years, it's about time to write some sort of introductory post. Just in case, you know, I'm not extraordinary or anything. Not even interesting, but still, after the icon friending meme @wonderous_stuff I thought you might be interested in knowing something more about me.
First of all, Friending Policy: I don't have one, LOL. You can friend me and de-friend me at your liking and without a second thought. Everything is set to public here, and it always will. Never used this personal journal much, but even if I began writing about real life, I don't think I'd lock any entries.
If you're looking for my icons, then you should check psychedelicats or wonderous_stuff.
I am
Valentina, aka Val. 25 years old. I live in Italy with my mother, my father and my beloved cat. I'm an only child. I'm spoiled. I have a boyfriend whose name is Diego and we've been together since I was 17.
I have a degree in Psychology but I'm studying Engineering now - Computer Science Engineering. I still love Psychology, but at some point I realized I missed Maths and logic and exactness.
I'm usually nice and cheerful and fluffy, but I can also be very rude and brusque. Depends on the weather, I suppose, I hate rainy days. I'm moody.
I can be veeeery OCD. Or not. My desk and my room are a hot mess and I really don't care.
Most of all, I'm random. I can stun you with thousands by the way's. I jump from one topic to another all the time. My train of thought is erratic.
I smoke a lot. I'm not talking weed or pot, I smoke the regular stuff.
I get easily scared. I don't watch horror movies because they would freak the hell out of me. I couldn't watch the pilot of Fringe because there were melting people, and I HATE THIS KIND OF STUFF. Fear of the dark, I has it.
I'm long-winded. And random, did I mentioned it?
I like
Cats. I LOVE cats. I worship cats, to be precise. They can be so elegant and beautiful, and then they can also be incredibly clumsy and awkward! And they purr OMG cats, why so perfect?
Maths. Love the feeling of satisfaction when I get the right result.
BOOKS. I really can't live without books. I love reading. All kinds of novels, but especially Fantasy and Sci-Fi ones. I don't read classics, though. Don't know why.
Spending hours talking of nothing in particular with my friends.
Cooking & baking cakes.
Driving my car while listening to music and singing out loud.
Sleeping. A lot. I can sleep up to 11-12 hours per day. I need at least my 8-9 hours of night-sleep, but then I can sleep another 2-3 hours during the afternoon.
Tv-shows and Movies. I easily get obsessed over tv shows, especially.
Photoshop and icons. Obviously, LOL.
Music. Rock, mostly.
Quotations.
Point & Click flash games xD
