Bout Me

I'm 16, i love animals, i have a dog, 3 cats, a kitten, a bunny, and a puppy. i'm short, hyper, long winded but shy and quiet. i can't pronounce my r's, so i get picked on when i talk. i'm easy to upset and piss off, but i'm also easy to make smile. i'm insecure and confused about a lot things, and however confident i may act or say i am, i'm scared inside. i understand myself, but can't explain it to others. i know what's wrong with me, i just don't know what's so wrong about it. i've been writing for a while now, and love it, though it's no longer what i'm looking to get into a career doing. i'm looking to become a photographer and travel a lot. i want to get out of here as soon as possible and never see any of my family ever again. i hate all of them. i cuss a lot, though almost never in my writings. i wish my life was more like a book that i was writing, with situations in my control, but i know that's not gonna happen. i daydream a lot, and love to read. i also love anime, but other than that don't watch much tv. i can't spell worth a shit and i get confused easily, mostly cause i think too much or not at all. i have no balance in that way. i love to swim and play around. i've very hyper and like to do things constantly, including clicking pens, which annoys the hell out of my friends. i'm a true smart ass and very sarcastic at times, and love to joke around and goof off. i hate school. i', good at math and lit and i like Latin. People annoy me. i live in a bad area, with lots of shootings and gangs, so nothing much scares me. i think horror movies are retarded, as are lovey movies. i love stuffed animals and music is my life. i have close to if not over by now, 2,000 songs on my ipod. i'd go crazy with out it. i'm white btw. and a hair is naturally dark brown and i have really darkly tanned skin, made all the more so cause i have native American in me, and my hair right now is super short cause i let my friend cut it, and is more reddish blondish kinda, from being bleached cause i dyed it purple. when school starts back i'm gonna dye it again. i have no clue why you're still reading this. Why are you wasting your time?? whatever, do as you wish. i support the gays and hate authority. i'm rebellious and defiant and i don't do what i'm told. My bunny's name is Turtle. he's a light brown hollin lop, and my kitty's name is Gandolf, and he's grey and has a blue collar with a bell that he attacked when i first put it on him. i have a great interest in swords and other weapons, and a slight obsession with things that could kill me. i used to cut myself, but quit(again) and hopefully never will again, even though it is really hard to. i don't have a dad, he left before i was born, and i hate my mom. i don't get a long with her at all. the rest of my family sucks too. According to my friends i'm smart, though honestly i act like a dumb ass. I know random facts, some useful, most not. i'm an elaborate thinker and have been compared to L from Deathnote, and i can imitate Light's laugh in a youtube video where someone was messing with the affects on media player. i'm not girly in the least. i was always a tomboy and hung with the guys, often chasing some around the playground in elementary school. i'm pretty strong, and enjoy working and earning money. i don't have a job at the moment, cause i'm too shy and just don't feel like it this summer. next summer though i'm gonna try to get a job at Dixie Land, or maybe a pet store. i like spinning, which is why i like two of the rides at Dixie Land, the Scrambler and the Sea Serpent. both spin around and don't go high. i'm afraid of heights. i hate bugs. i like being outdoors and just off in my own little world. i walk around my subdivision with two of my friends a lot, but never alone cause i'd get short or something around here. my best friend is about the only person shorter than me that i know of my age. i'm not very social with new people. i want a pet snake but my mom said hell no. Are you still reading this?? what ever. i'll quit now. _

REMEMBER WHEN ..
getting HiGH meant swinging at a playground?
the worst thing you could get from a boy was c0otiEs?
when )m 0 m( was your hero
and 'D a D' was the boy you were gonna marry?
when your W0RST ENEMiES were your siblings
and rAcE iSsuEs were about who ran fastest?
when - WAR- was a card game
and life was simple and care free?
remember when all you wanted to do
WAS GROW UP?

Put This In Your Profile If You're Still 5 Inside...No Matter How Old You Are Now

(actually, i see myself as four)

"I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male."

I like cheese. I have seen purple cows. If two gooses are geese, then why aren't two moose meese, or when two foots are feet, why aren't two footballs feetball? Milk tastes good. People call me crazy, but I'm just random! If you're random and proud of it, copy and paste this in your profile

For me, crazy is a loose term. Crazy is when you stare at a pencil and laugh when someone asks you just what you find so interesting about the eraser. Crazy is when you have an hour long sob-fest, then start singing and dancing when your favorite song plays. Crazy is when you do or say a totally random thing, like "do you ever wonder where the eraser bits go?" or start having a thumbwar with yourself (i find that i am a very tough opponent). So if you're crazy, copy this onto your profile.

Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all

Gay marriage:
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans... --

As income tax time approaches, did you ever notice: When you put the two words 'The' and 'IRS' together, it spells
' THEIRS'?

Just this side of the Summer Land,
is a place called The Rainbow Bridge.
When an Animal dies that has been
especially close to someone;
that Animal Companion goes to
The Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills;
cushions and catnip; tires and tug rings
for all of our special Friends.

They can run and play,
drowse in the Sun and dream lovely Dreams.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine
and our Friends are warm and comfortable.

Our Lady of Lord of the Animals smiles
upon them and Blesses them all with Their Touch.

All the Animals who were ill, old, hurt or maimed
are restored to health and vigor;
are made whole and strong again.

They are just as we remember them in our
Dreams of days and times gone by.

The Animals are happy and content;
except for one small thing;
they each miss someone very special to them;
someone who had to be left behind.

All of the Animals run and play together.
Old hatreds are forgotten,
un-needed instincts discarded.

But then, a day comes when one
suddenly stops and looks into the distance.

Her bright eyes are intent;
His eager body begins to quiver and
a hopeful purr starts deep within Her.

Suddenly, She begins to run from the group,
flying over the green grass
His legs carrying Him faster and faster.

A familiar and much-loved face has just been spotted!!

When the two come together,
they cling in joyous reunion;
NOT ever to be parted again!

Happy kisses rain on tear-streaked face and fur,
hands-again-caress the beloved head,
paws pat and knead and trusting eyes gaze
once more into each other—so long absent from Life;
but NOT ever absent from the Heart.

Then, as our Lord and Lady smile at the rightness,
they cross The Rainbow Bridge together…

"Our individuality is all, all, that we have. There are those who barter it for security, those who repress it for what they believe is the betterment of the whole society, but blessed in the twinkle of the morning star is the one who nurtures and rides it, in grace and love and wit, from peculiar station to peculiar station along life's bittersweet route."
Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

I find myself sympathizing with the spork
wondering what need it fulfills
it's not quite a spoon, and yet not a fork
it should be one or the other, it just lacks the skills

Caught in the middle
stuck in an awkward transition
it's creation like a riddle
yet laughed at and made fun of for it's condition

What's the purpose? many say
Why can't it just be one or other other?
Why does it live in this shade of grey?
Yet they must serve a purpose, we see them one after another.

I admire the spork for the bravery it possesses
daring to expose it's existence
ignoring all the curiosities, stares, and guesses
and going on with confidence and persistence

I try to see the spork from a new perspective
and think about it's dual purpose and function,
the wisdom of knowing and feeling both sides, how introspective!
Should we even dare call this a dysfunction?

So go on mighty spork! Be all you can be
Show the world that there's more than just black and white
With your confidence, wisdom and bravery
We can help change the world with every bite.

They learn, they live and they
forgive. Because we all know
failed ballerinas become stripers
so go ahead, take the pill,
have one last drink,
cut the vain in your wrist so you
cant feel the pain anymore.
But always remember I'll
always be here for you
when your ready to quit.
I might laugh, but at least
i will understand.
