On my thread, just dumping this for reference later

Best way to get to know me is by chatting with me. My inner secrets are revealed in my journal, which is free for the reading. I don't accept random friend requests. My hometown is back in Sacramento and I often go back for the weekend to visit. My younger brother, whom I am really close to, still lives at home so my weekends away tend to be jam packed. Even when he is not around, my parents like to hangout with me. We still have trouble getting along with each other but by keeping silent, I am able to get along with them better. My mother takes me shopping and drinking with her. I enjoy hanging out with her and her friends but after spending a weekend with her, I'm usually pretty exhausted. My Dad is pretty chill. He doesn't really do much so I usually get computer time when he's in charge of the house. My brother is inbetween the two of them, in that he likes to be active but he doesn't demand it of me. We are really close so spending time with him is more of my choice than it is with my parents. Back home we also have cats. Renji is our gray cat, who is long and pretty much our favorite. Solo is mostly my brother's cat. She is a Burmese. Our third cat is Tigre but we all call her Fat One now... that or Little One. She's anything but little. That's mostly due to her skin condition. After I left for college she got really fat and is terribly afraid of me. Our home in Sac doesn't really offer many things to do other than hanging out with one anther but it's nice. Since I'm a night owl and my parents go to bed early, I tend to pop online for a short time. Their computer is slow and frustrating so I try not to make promises about posting.

Some warnings when dealing with me: fall and winter tend to be my roughest months. Though they are my favorite seasons, I tend to ignore my studies and allow my emotional problems steer my life. Roleplaying with me can be a little frustrating cause I'll go off the map for a few days if things get intense. There are good reasons for my absences. I'm not good with confronting my past and dealing with stress or the pressure of excelling. In fact, I tend to sabotage any attempts to flourish at all. October of 2008 was the my last official suicide attempt and November of 2009 my grandfather died. In December I was kicked out of my high school and send to a different one to finish my Senior final semester. It is also the month that celebrates Christmas, which has not been a very good memory for me. It's an awkward holiday for me and a sore reminder of a dream that will not come true any time soon. I've had some other bad experiences but none to the extreme of these - some bad roommate drama and such. I do not take medication other than birth control, which still ticks me off from time to time. After I rant about it, I'm usually good. I hate any kind of medication and have a paranoia about doctors.

If you didn't already guess, the pictures are of me thus far. I have pale skin and dirty blonde hair, which has never been dyed. [ more to come later]
