well, enough of that. my name's portia and i'm 16 years old. here's a list about me:
1. my favorite hobbies include walking, breathing, drawing, writing, listening to/playing music, and reading.
2. i won't deny the fact that i am indeed a total book whore. i read entire 4-inch-thick books in only a few mere hours.
3. writing is my passion, and i hope to one day become a famous author.
4. i completed my first official story in eighth grade, and it is still the proudest moment in my life.
5. my bestest friend in the whole wide world is paige. she's like a sister to me and is always going on about power rangers and pokemon. she really is the greatest, and i love her to death.
6. i am a very happy person. i'm currently trying to work on being selfless, not judging people, and being very accepting. it's a hard change, but the support people have given me is outstanding, and my role model is even better.
7. i love anime/manga.
8. the color green! 'nuf said.
9. i go anywhere i can without shoes. that's not to say shoes aren't absolutely amazing, however.
10. i can be pretty weird, and i'm not afraid to admit it.
11. starbucks = my life source.
12. simple things amuse me.
13. vintage items are probably the best ever.
14. i'm a hopeless romantic.
15. no, i don't like romeo & juliet. if you ask me, they got everything they deserved. obviously, they could have simply just up and run away. they didn't have to go and make everything so complex.
16. i love hats.
17. i am dying for an awesome camera -- the ones that the pros use
18. if i could go vegan, i totally would -- sadly, i'm addicted to certain meats ;a;
19. i love to talk to people, so don't be afraid to message me just to say hi! i'm very friendly, so don't worry. i don't bite.
20. i love nature: i'm not a big fan of mud or bugs, but most anything else is like a little gift. especially anything i can climb.
21. i wish i could speak german!
22. i really want to get 6 tattoos and 2 piercings.
23. i love to laugh!
24. my life is pretty average.
25. that fact that you possibly read all this makes me very happy.
last note: though i am not good at reading poetry and really feeling it, there is a writer whose poetry and writing is absolutely beautiful: go to http://www.bluemeadow193.deviantart.com/. this guy is excellent in writing. so please, i beg that you check his stuff out :)
