About Me

I'm just an average 19 year-old girl from California, trying to figure out my place in the world. Madness and mayhem prevail in my existence as I navigate university life and try to figure out just what I want from myself. It's an interesting adventure. Want to know anything about me, just ask.

The Devil's Rose

Because I'm always curious where people get their screennames from, here's why mine's 'devils-rose': one of my favorite songs is called "Rose in the Devil's Garden" by Tiger Army. That's the main reason, that and my life can be quite hellish. So it just kind of worked for me.

The Least You Need to Know

I am: crazy; nineteen; female; random; deeply loyal to my friends; always looking to make more friends; something of a warrior, when the situation calls for it; good in emergencies; until they're over; temperamental; creative, artistic, and social; escaping an emotionally abusive childhood; determined to move to Europe; in a major university; studying Linguistics, Japanese, German, and Spanish; and...I don't know, lots of things. :D

Likes/Dislikes

I like: music, concerts, road trips, food, friendship, laughter, frolicking, walking in nature, writing novels and short stories, reading fiction - mostly fantasy, dancing in the rain, late nights, sleeping in, thunderstorms, ogling cute boys, playing at being a pirate, outrunning time, feeling infinite.
~*~
I dislike: homework, waking up early, hot weather, people with no sense of humor, boredom, depression, being at home with my family.
