    Attractiveness?

    Well, I guess it depends on who you ask, but my one and only ex-boyfriend claimed he thought I was, "beautiful". I would say that I am average. Best thing I've got going for me is dark red hair. Although, a lot more goes into, "attractiveness" than appearance. In terms of personality I...

    Mental Voice

    Well, first of all this is in no way a stupid question, I've been asking the same thing to people I meet for years. The diversity of ways of thinking is surprising. As for myself, if alone, especially outside, I don't have a "voice" that speaks in words. Instead, more of a general...

    Jorge Luis Borges...

    Yes, Neruda as well. My Spanish 6 Class spent half the year on literature and poetry, half on painters. There was this particular Neruda poem I had to perform infront of the class, it was one of his odes. I particularly liked the odes. And then there were these little short poems that seemed to...

    Why did you pick your name?

    Nope. And the author of the story made up the name, "Omelas" when she accidentally read a road sign for "Salem, Oklahoma" backward. Fun facts.

    Right. So,it's 5:26 am, I'm still not done with my paper, and I felt like I should share a few more things about myself. I am female. I was born in Vermont. Lived in West Virginia, Kentucky. I am using this font instead because the other one gets on my nerves, for some reason. I can't finish...

    Why did you pick your name?

    I read a short story for a class at 2 am. The imaginary place name, Omelas, stuck with me. The story was The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula Leguin.

    Do you like your family?

    I love my family. My mom can get overbearing, but she cares. My dad could seem distant occasionally, if I wasn't the same way. Although she can be trouble, I would protect my younger sister to the death.

    Music To Die To

    Frankly, I'd like to hear my parents singing. Even though I'm assuming I'll die after them. My mom and/or dad used to actually sing this to me when I was little: YouTube - Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun (lyrics) And, you've got to hear it to understand, but my parents sing off key...

    Learning A New Language: Russian

    Well, you're in Ontario, what do you expect? ;) Edit: altough, aside from the hopefully-good-natured-Ontario-jab, yea, I'd say there is certainly a whole chunk of the bad and stupid with the good and intelligent and the alright and average. If I were to characterize my nation: it's a whole...

    Jorge Luis Borges...

    YES. BORGES. AND ALL HIS WIN. If I could express to you how much Borges + Ungodly amounts of coffee + 3 am = life, I would. But, alas, it is impossible. Curious: how many read Borges in Spanish? Although a native English speaker, I read his works in Spanish first. Then English. Although both...

    Learning A New Language: Russian

    I am learning Russian, or, attempting to, because I think it is interesting, and I would like to know more than 5 languages before I become senile. So far, I've got 2. But, being 18, I have time. I also might be going to Moscow, then St. Petersburg in 3 years for a semester abroad...

    Any of you want to just dump it all and travel for a living?

    In a word, yes. Right now, considering said option quite seriously. Except...well, I can't. Stupid logic, getting in the way of random travel plans.

    Do you ever get "vibes"?

    I tend to make lots of associations between things, yes. It's how I learn. So everything: colors, words, sounds, smells, concepts, formulae, numbers, people, places, animals, plants, languages, pieces of art, dreams, memories, stories, cultures, histories, etc...all have to fit together if I am...

    Hello. I am a socially awkward psychology major. First year of college. I......am an INTP. And I've got a finals paper that is 3 days late, so if you will excuse me, I probably won't post all too often. But this is interesting. So it goes.
