I'm one of those people who is known by pretty much everyone but only really known by a few people. I assume that, at my school, the general consensus is that I'm annoying, obnoxious, (possibly) arrogant, and all around not-typical. Aside from the last one, I can't positively say whether those descriptions are accurate. I am certainly not a your average girl: I'm very athletic and I adore reading and drawing and watching Japanese anime. I'm probably friendlier than most, and I have no aversion to saying 'hello' to perfect strangers and starting up conversations. I'm not very pretty in the conventional idea of such -- most of the time I don't try to be, either -- but I'm not ugly. I'm broadly built. My fashion -- if you can even call it that -- consists of jeans, t-shirts, and button-down shirts left open. (I honestly don't care about how I look most of the time.)

I'm a loud person: you probably know someone like me, the person in class who is constantly talking about some opinion or another related to the material. Very loudly. ^_^ It really isn't because I'm trying to annoy people; rather, I speak loudly because I want my opinions to get heard, whether they're spoken coherantly or not. Oddly enough, I'm horrible at speaking: I'm always babbling or messing up my words. In fact, because I read so much as a child, I wound up getting a large vocabulary but not knowing how to pronouce the words. It's weird.

I'm strange. I do not fit the norm. If you know me, you'll either like me or you don't -- I'm too outspoken and clear for someone to have a vague opinion of me. I'll probably be nice to you. I'm not very cynical, oddly enough.

(and I feel silly talking about myself. Read on. ^_~)
