(I actually made this banner for the series I'm currently working on, but it works for this as well)
Oh joy. I'm a blogger. Might I just say... Good Grief!!!
This... should be epic.
I suppose I'll start out by telling you all a little about myself.
First of all, Fighting with me is a bad idea for more than one reasons. One being simple. I know how to use words; sure, sometimes my grammar fails, but I know what to say and when, and I know precisely how to make them hurt. I can get inside your head within minutes of meeting you. Why?
Simple really. Ever since I was little I have been good at evaluating people. I read body language, I pay attention, and most of all, I listen. I love the human language, whether it be words or a simple gesture. I know when someone is lying to me, or if they are hiding something. I know what subjects bother them and I tend to know more about people than they themselves do. How? I don't hold back in my evaluations, and I don't trust easily, which means I can be rather brutal. For example, I know when someone is pretending to be sad or depressed for attention, or when they are acting. Trickster say what? It's hard to explain. Either way, it is a very bad idea to try and hide things from me, because I can tell things about you even if I've never met you in person.and I'm just reading something you wrote about yourself. Like I said, I don't hold back, and I'm not afraid to say what is on my mind. I'm also going to mention that it is a bad idea to mess with me when I'm angry, because when I am in a rage, I will say things I don't mean to say, and they usually hurt.
But at the same time, I'm a loyal, fierce friend, and if you hurt someone I care for... I will hunt you down. I have a very, (okay, abnormally) strong sense of protection, put me near a child and you can rest assured that even though I say I hate babies, (I call 'em monster creatures)they won't so much as get a bug bite while I'm watching them. Seriously. I'm not joking. I'm very protective. And I won't hesitate to fight for my loved ones.
Hmmm, what else? Ah yes, give me a book and I'll usually finish it that same day, although admittedly this is not always the case. Give me a pen and paper, and I'll immediately start writing a story. Give me music and I'll sing along to it the moment I am alone. I don't sing in front of people. I'm not really sure why, I just don't. I guess I'm shy, and if I can actually sing in front of you it's because I trust you far more than anyone else and know you won't make fun of me. But even then, it's hard to sing in front of people. I suppose because singing, too me anyways, is a very personal thing, not really sure why, but it is. Same for writing, I have a hard time letting people read my stories, only this time not because I'm embarrassed, but because my stories are my own, they're personal.
I love poetry though. Although not modern stuff. Old ones, Ancient ones. For instance, "I hate and love--- the why I cannot tell, but by my tortures know the fact too well." That poem is an old Latin one, and by far one of my favorites, because it speaks to me. I'm a rather cynical, high maintenance, fierce person, I can be rude and rather violent, and I never take back-talk. When I want to be scary, I am terrifying, and when I want to be heard, trust me, you'll hear me. I can be rather odd though, and my imagination is just a tad (alright much bigger) wilder than is considered "Good." I mean come on, today's society is about control, oddball people that are unique and into freedom are considered hippies or are simply ignored. Sometimes they're even thrown into an insane asylum! For instance, Americans are known to value and definitely respect diversity and individuality, however, if you take a look at the common public school you'll find that all they do is squash the creativity in the young children who also happen to be the generation that will one day be the ones ruling society. I guess the mentality is why not brainwash them sooner rather than after they do something drastic like sat, Obama is right now? And onto that matter, I keep hearing people saying things like Obama hasn't done anything and he hasn't really changed anything, but come on, it's not like he can undo eight years worth of crappy leadership in just a few months. Give him a break, the havoc the Bushes have caused is going to take some time to undo!
If there is one thing I must admit I love about America though, is its ability to be informal, yet remain comfortable with it. We are not confined by dress code or mannerisms, and while some remain uncomfortable with "eccentric" religions such as Wicca, you won't find anyone bringing back the old Salem customs. America is where you can climb onto the rooftops and scream "Freedom!".
Another thing I love though is the whole first-name basis, even with simple acquaintances, it helps break down boundaries for one thing. There is little wonder as to why the variations of the English language as been received so damn well, some variations in spelling and pronunciations actually make more sense... sometimes. Not to much for me though, since I love spelling even if I'm not a grammar freak like my good friend Holmes (To whom I am known as Irene). Holmes is a brilliant, intelligent person, the reincarnate of Sherlock himself, and is one of the best people I know, truly my best and truest friend. So loyal. Anywho, the point is I spend a lot of time reading, and I appreciate the English language, so while you won't see me Lol'ing or typing "shorthand" u instead of you or ikr instead of I-Know-Right, and most certainly not things like ttfn or ttyl, I won't begrudge you if you yourself do. Oh dear, this blogging thing is turning out to be a lot funner than I expected. I'd best stop for tonight, considering the time and all. Ta Ta,
~~~Trickster.
