Tell me what makes you who you are. Let's talk a while

Well what do you want to know?

i collect teapots. i love pugs. i want to explore the stars. i write in notebooks. i have dozens of to-be-read piles. my favourite colour is purple. my bedroom is an organized mess. i would recommend the book revolution by jennifer donnelly to anyone. i have too many bags and wallets. i buy things impulsively and my bank account hates me for it. i enjoy painting my nails. i suffer from dermatillomania. i'm a huge nerd. i don't swear. i listen to disney songs and movie scores. my favourite musical is newsies. i own too many monkey plushies to count. i want to live on a small farm with a wife in ireland. my celebrity crushes are keira knightley and orlando bloom. i don't like sneezing in public but i sneeze when i choke. i hate confrontation. i want to be a good person.

I collect old cameras. I love boys with dark hair. I want to explore the forests of the world. I write on my old typewriter and on the computer, sometimes in my journal. My favorite color is scarlet. My bedroom is the color white and covered in potted plants. I would recommend the book 'Wuthering Heights' to anyone. I have too many pictures in shoeboxes. The only thing I buy compulsively is coffee. I enjoy talking to new people. I suffer from social anxiety, so my love of talking to people is a contradiction in itself and it freaking sucks. I'm a huge book nerd. I swear like a sailor. I listen to indie rock and folk music. My favorite musical is Chicago. I own too many cats to have any money. I want to live in Boston with a husband and a career as a creative writing professor. My celebrity crush is Tom Holland. I hate sneezing in public, but I'm afraid I've never choked on anything dangerously before. I hate confrontation, but for some magical reason, people always confront me. I really, really, fucking want to be a good person.

hi. I like dogs, and i really hope to get one really soon. My favorite color is yellow. I wanna be an animator/Storyboard artist when i'm older. I love listening to bastille and painting in my free time. i love musicals and i'm going to see the book of mormon in july. i rlly miss my dog btw. I dont exactly enjoy writing, but i want to. im currently making a webcomic and thats about it

Hi I love to collect old fragments of memories –like ticket stubs, first pair of tap shoes, etc. I love tap dancing and do it almost everyday. My life kind of sucks and I feel like all my decisions are being made for me but I smile anyway. I like oversized sweatshirts and rainy days and long fantasy novels. I like laughing with my friends. My favorite color is purple. I'm terrible at defending myself or others so when people say bad/racist/sexist/mean things I just kinda smile and move on. I love theatre. I've been an actress, stage manager, dance choreographer, director, and makeup artist for my community theatre. Anime, movies, TV, and science YouTube videos are my favorites. I like vintage things and poloroid pics and making memories. I have major FOMO so I'm always scrabbling to experience new things. I love talking to people. Oh, and I love cats!

Hi. I like children, and I have five younger siblings. I love the rain, and I hate hot weather. I've never seen snow before. I have an odd fascination for ants. I'm a mess, I can hardly keep anything organized. My life motto is 'If life gives you a chance to do something, don't throw it away'. I'm an artist, but I'm very self-conscious of my art. I'm short, around 153 cm (5'1 in inches, I think). I try to collect seashells, but I always lose them. I have very ugly handwriting. I have a deep voice for a girl. My bedroom is shared with three of my siblings and the walls are covered in crayon scribbles. I have thick, curly black hair, small brown eyes and I wear glasses. I have insomnia. My best friends are a skilled violinist, a talented singer, and an amazing guitarist, even if I have zero knowledge of music. I used to do taekwondo, but got lazy and I quit. I like reading fiction because it gives me a world to escape to, and I like non-fiction because I want to understand the world I'm in.

Sup, I'm a self-improvement guy. I LOOOVE intelligent conversation, anime, Star Wars, poetry by Dante, and coffee. Admittedly I'm really metal which can be good or bad. My favorite color is black, my favorite element is fire, and I'm a Harley-Davidson, AK-47, sweat-pants, and hairless cat aficionado. My best trait, is my intelligence, my worst trait is that I'm callous. And I am a Spawn fan too.

I have three younger siblings who drive me crazy. I love music. Reading is my escape and writing is my way of expressing myself. Music saved my life. I love reading the Bible. I am a proud believer and I am not afraid to say it. I love helping people. I stand up for other people. I lost my grandpa when I was six. I have had six surgeries. I love challenges and adventures. I have been reading chapter books since I was six. I love telling others about how God saved the world. My favorite tv series is The Flash. I can be really sarcastic and I love animals. I love meeting new people and trying new things. I'm sorry if you don't like who I am but this is me. And I'm not afraid to say it.

Hi, new here but umm I like cats, especially those that are haughty and demand attentions (other animals are fine but I'm constantly surrounded by cats that the feeling of fondness comes naturally). I want to do many things but I procrastinate a lot. I'm indecisive and when I'm pressured I'd pick the choice that's abnormal or slightly different than others.
I like first and foremost the colour red (though I have no objection to other colours). I love the sound of waves folding across the beach and the warm rays of the sun. I scribble on anything (tables, walls in my bedroom, napkins) I can get my hands on and most of those scribbles contain snippets of my favourite dialogue or just an idea that pops into my head, or sketch parts of people's bodies in motion (e.g. hands wringing, mouth screwed up in frustration…). I like to think that I can read people so I would scan around to take in details of the way a couple walk, a mother and her son argues and other day-to-day interactions (they always catch me staring, it's embarrassing). I never liked anything with an intensity and I don't get those that are extremely loyal to their friends (nothing against them or anything). I have a special spot for decisive people, even if they're incredibly mullish (unless they bully anyone).
Swearing comes easily to me but I prefer not to do it when there's strangers.
Lastly, I like to talk about myself because a) I'm rarely given the chance to speak, I usually have to shout to be heard b) I'm a middle child (get ignored a lot) c) People usually come to me for advice and rant for hours until they're satisfied.
English isn't my first language so… thank you for reading I guess?

I have an army of stuffed animals, one for every single character I ever wrote.

Yeah I hoard stuffed animals.

Frick I don't know where to start….

I love everything and everyone. I try to find the beauty in everything, even if its hard. I'm an introvert but all my friends are extroverts so its kind of weird. I love cats, puppies, dolphins, elephants and pretty much any animal with fur. I love the rain and snow so much. I love girly things like pink and purple, skirts, sparkles, etc. I sit on my computer way to much. My favorite colors are pastel colors and any shade of purple. Drawing is my life and I love reading and writing. I also animate occasionally. I suffer from migraines 24/7, anxiety, and I used to be super depressed in like 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade. It went away in 7th grade for some reason but now in 8th its starting to come back. I also have low self esteem. I want to explore the world. Go deep into thick forests. I want to swim in sparkling oceans. Run through colorful fields of flowers. I can't stand the thought of not making some sort of mark on the world and the people who come after me. Alfredo is my life and I couldn't live without it. I play sports all year round; basketball (which i'm playing atm, I just got back from two games and my team won! Woop woop), softball, volleyball, and soccer, though I don't like it as much as the other three. I live in a small town where everyone knows everyone and we could all have a sleepover together rn if we really wanted to. My best friend is literally my clone and sometimes we accidentally speak in unison, its kinda hilarious to freak our other friend out. I love music and I listen to it everywhere. In the shower, car rides, when I walk, draw, heck, I'm even listening to it right now! I listen to pop music, country (idk why so many people hate it, its just as bad as some pop music..), and hip-hop, and occasionally k-pop (though it is usually BTS <3). My mom listens to 90s and 80s music so I know a lot of those songs. I have two annoying little siblings who I really do love and a cat who is lazy af. My opinion on lgbt+ and abortion is to do whatever the frick you want.
I mean honestly, are you really one to tell someone who they can and cant be, who they can and can't love, and what they can and can't do to their own bodies? Like some people honestly baffle me at how passionate they are at hating someone who is a different religion then you, maybe loves a bit different than you and your friends. I want to be one of those people who walk into a room and lift everyone's spirits. Who anyone can come to to be comforted. I want to be a good example. I know no one is perfect and no one is ever going to be perfect. Something that I don't tell people online is that i'm Mormon and live in a Mormon town because I don't want people to suddenly judge me without getting to know me first. That is why i'm putting this last, so people will read this and get to know me first before putting in the basic 'lgbt+ hating Mormon club, etc.'
Oops sorry this is long~ If you took the time to read it i'm glad you got to know me! <3

Hello! My love of reading is really what got me into writing, and I'm always looking for a new book/series to read. I love anything from Lord of the Rings to Maze Runner, so let me know if you have any suggestions! I still haven't written anything I deem worthy of trying to get published, but there's always room for improvement, so I'm not ready to give up yet. As much as I love writing, I'm trying to pursue a primary career in acting, though I haven't quite decided if I want to do theatre or film yet; maybe a combination of the two. Both seem like they would be great experiences. Music is also another passion of mine; I've been playing clarinet for four years now and have just started learning guitar. I have a really bad habit of creating characters with really strong personalities and deep backstories and then doing nothing with them from there… in other words, complex plots are not my forte.

My gosh, I read every word of every comment, I loved them all. I was smiling so much. I love how people from all over the world (past and present!) are so different, and yet we're all the same somehow…

I was born weighing only 4 pounds. I was always short and skinny until I went through puberty, heh. Still short, though. My first word was "uh-oh," my first sentence was, "Mommy, someday I'm gonna grow up and leave you and have my own house." The first time I went to Target I exclaimed, "WOW! This store has EVERYTHING! Does it have wedding dresses?! I need a wedding dress. Oh wait, I have to get a man first." People were staring. I was a loud child, and my parents called me the dog of the family (I chased small animals) and the monkey (I climbed up literally everything). I'm the oldest of about about thirty cousins. I used to be a big bully. I had so much confidence when I was little that my very first epiphany was: "Wait a second… the only person I'm seeing through is MY eyes… and the only thoughts I hear are MY thoughts… so that must mean… I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THE WORLD?!" I listen to music every day, and I basically love it all but I'll always be a sucker for classic rock. I went to the ER because I was super constipated, once. I competed in speech and debate from twelve years old through high school, because I love arguing and playing devil's advocate. Sometimes I drive people away because of that. My go-to humor is too sarcastic and negative, and I've had to change that in order to not hurt people. Red has always been my favorite color because it's my dad's favorite color. I've been a reader since I could read. I love playing the piano, my mom is a piano teacher, I've played since I was seven, and I can't go a week without playing. I love sports (played softball) and being active, and I especially love training for and competing in Spartan Races. I like drawing, but I don't do it enough. I'm a lover of justice and I feel like I've been called to defend those who need it, and I WILL fight you if I have to. I like lecturing but not receiving lectures. My favorite kinds of people and characters are either those exactly like me, or those I'm striving to be: kinder, more caring, not lazy, and selfless. I always feel like I'm alone in the world, meaning, I can't seem to find anyone whose brain works the same way mine does. I've learned to communicate to people in THEIR language (only way I can make friends without offending people or boring them and being forever alone), but no one seems to speak in mine (it gets kind of draining). Sometimes I think I'm the worst… Sometimes I'm too prideful for my own good. But every time I sink into that bad attitude I slap myself and go, "Don't be emo." (not hating on emos, I like My Chemical Romance and Green Day. Are those emo things? I have emo friends too? :P)

Oh, and I'm a Christian, and really want to make a difference and help as many people as I can. I have two adopted brothers, and I'm really passionate about adoption and foster care. peace out sorry

@Masterkey I said it once, I'll say it again, I like your style.

shuriken, I like your style, too.

Thanks!

Okay, here goes nothing:
I absolutely love musical theatre, especially Hamilton, I love Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lunar Chronicles, and The Hunger Games. Also The False Prince books. Kelly Marie Tran is my favorite celebrity, I love creating characters and someday I really want a fandom. I’m a Slytherin, my best friend @Turzelle is my beta reader, I’m playing King Oberon in A Midnpsummer Night’s Midterm. I’m female, Catholic, Autistic (Aspergers) Ace, Biromantic, a huge nerd. I collect Legos and Star Wars action figures, Doctor Aphra is the only comic I read, I ship Barrissoka, I love all of the girls and most of the guys in Star Wars and the Lunar Chronicles. Too many fictional crushes to count, and no real life ones. I did Destination Imagination for 5 years, and in 2017 my team took 6th at Globals and won a Spirit Of DI award in the Engineering Challenge. I have pretty bad depression and anxiety.

Hey @Masterkey!!! Nice to see another Christian here!

Natasha, Right back at ya!

*smile I'm actually a missionary in Brazil with my parents and my three younger siblings.

@Natasha that's wicked awesome, pardon the campiness.

Really? That's really cool, how long have you been there? My dad's a pastor and we're working on planting a church.
