White: 3 facts about my personality:

I love to laugh and to make other people laugh. I will go to great lengths to commit to a joke, though I loathe jokes that are hurtful. There is a fine line between playful teasing and being hurtful, and I don't like crossing that line.

I love to love people. I enjoy having deep, meaningful relationships with the people I care about. I tend to show this loving through physical touch. Head patting, headbutting, sometimes playful biting (I'm a puppy). I also am a big fan of platonic forehead kisses.

I like my alone time. I don't really know anymore whether I'm an introvert or an extrovert, but I enjoy both being around the people I care about and having my "me time" which usually contains reading or playing the piano.

Grey: 2 facts about my favorite things.

I love books. Right now I'm rereading The Hobbit just because. Tolkien is my absolute favorite author ever, especially because I have an interest in the composition of fantasy stories and stories in general. Books are a wonderful way to forget about this world and enjoy a different one. Plus storytelling is my favorite way to convey thoughts and emotions.

Music is my other favorite thing. I am a music major, so I'm obligated to be surrounded by music all the time. Learning about music has really helped me to learn a great many other things as well, such as the value of silence and my favorite musical proverb, "less is more". You learn a lot about yourself when you indulge in music. I didn't use to enjoy sad music, but now I can get down and listen to "Song for Dennis Brown" all day. It helps me feel at peace, like all music does. Music is an art, but is also a science. I feel as though it's one of those anomalies that can be related to every person in any walk of life ever.

Want any tattoos?YES. I have one already, but I want way more. I have a whole list of ideas, but for sure I want: the words Soon Enough on my ribs, and an anchor somewhere, a watercolor style tattoo of some kind (I'd like this to be combined with a sailor jerry style tattoo, I have a few ideas of what I want but nothing for sure), and I have a few tattoo ideas in mind for my grandparents but not really set on those yet besides some kind of flowers and hummingbird mix. My biggest problem is not knowing where I want them all on my body.

A fact about my personality:I'm passive aggressive, but it's really hard for me to be outright mean to people or to say no to them, even if I want to.

My idea of a perfect date:I think you should do something you either both love or is new to you both. But I'm also all for dinner and then a walk or movies and all that typical cute stuff. The idea of like hiking and outdoors things together seems cute in my mind, but I don't know if I'd want to get too sweaty on a date.

A description of the girl/boy I like:Some would argue it's love, but see Nina Dobrev.

What I find attractive in men:I'll be the first to say it that you have to look good to some extent, and tattoos and muscles and all that jazz is great. But also, being kind and caring about people - but not overbearing, somewhat adventurous, funny, just a little bit of an asshole that we can be smartasses and sarcastic with each other - but not enough to actually piss me off or upset me, generally not a shitty or creepy human being. must love dogs/animals. dressing well and knowing how to cook is like almost automatic 10/10.

Where I want to be right now:Ideally, on a beach somewhere amazing with alcohol. But I'm in my bed so it's close enough I guess.

5: A song that needs to be played LOUDAin’t No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant. there is no other way to listen to that song besides incredibly loud.

9: A song that makes you happyDaylight - Matt & Kim. It’s just such a catchy upbeat tune, and generally it’s pretty silly and happy, I can’t help but smile when I listen to it. 

10: A song that makes you sadFor the Love of a Daughter - Demi Lovato. Oh. My. God. I will cry 97% of the time I hear it, and if I’m not crying I’m getting teary eyed. too many feels from the song itself and personal feels. Oooooh or, I Can Feel a Hot One - Manchester Orchestra, and Fix You - Coldplay, those are all my go-to songs if I wanna cry everything out.

11: A song that you never get tired ofJesus Christ - Brand New. It’s my top played song, and like, I just can’t ever get over it. I just can’t. I know Brand New isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but man I just love that song a lot.

20: A song that has many meanings to youI take every song (besides most rap) in meaningful ways. I don’t know if I can just pick one, because every one is connected to something or makes me think of things. So. every song that isn't stupid basically.

22: A song that moves you forwardI’m not sure what move forward means, I guess inspires me or pushes me? Cheesy enough, I LOVE listening to Til I Collapse - Eminem when I’m slacking on something or wanna feel like I can do anything in the world. If I feel sad, Keep Breathing - Ingrid Michaelson is a good one too.

28: A song by an artist with a voice that you loveWinter Song - Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. The two of them combined is just so freaking beautiful. 

30: A song that reminds you of yourselfEven If It Kills Me - Motion City Soundtrack. I’m pretty sure that I somehow wrote this song. Just everything about this song lyrically, reminds me of myself and my life.

5: Talk about the best birthday you’ve had.Answered!

8: Talk about the thing you are most proud of.I’m proud of making it through the point in my life where all I considered was ending my life and self harming A LOT, and overcoming my bad “eating habits” which I guess wasn’t full blown anorexia or bulimia but definitely had traits of them. It’s something that I will no doubt always have to deal with to some extent, I’m not proud of it but I’m proud of getting past it.38: Talk about songs that remind you of certain people.Answered! But country music makes me think of my grandparents and also Shontae (you) now. 

39: Talk about things you wish you’d known earlier.I wish I had known that I don’t actually have to take people treating me bad. And that it’s okay for me to tell somebody they’re being crappy. And that even if things are bad right now, they really will get better. And that sucky people suck, and always will. And that the heartache really will pass. And that I can’t change people, or fix broken people until they are ready, likewise with trying to make people like me - sometimes it just won’t ever happen. And when things happen, that maybe it doesn’t make sense now, but it will later.

6: Age you get mistaken for 15-17 (I turn 21 in december, it's embarrassing.)

15: Favorite movieI have tons of favorite movies, but every time I get asked I come up with a blank... 

21: What I love most about myselfI'm shallow so I really like my hair. But I'm also a really nice/forgiving person, but sometimes I'm too nice/forgiving especially to people that don't deserve it at all. 

25: My idea of a perfect dateHonestly, just doing something we both love to do or trying something that's new to the both of us. It's about how you spend the time, not where. 

41: Where I want to be right nowat the beach omg (with or without friends is fine). or lollapalazzo. I would sell organs for either.
