Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm 20, not ancient.
I'm African-American, and currently a bio major.
I have little social interactions with people due to classes and my introverted ways.
I don't mind being wrong, I do mind when people say they're right with no evidence at all.
I have 5 older sisters and both parents who all raised me, and I'm very proud and fortunate for that fact.
I'm not very religious for I haven't accepted any specific religion, but I am Christan, and do share some strong core beliefs.
I have very few stories to tell, but I love listening. (I stalk the Blogs! ninja )

Ugh, i guess i'll start with the basics:

I'm 20 years old.

I have three pets, a dog, a turtle and a cat.

I live with my boyfriend and my youngest brother.

I drink and smoke, and i wish i didn't, though i don't try to quit.

I consider myself a bad person, even worse for not caring.

I don't have a lot of friends, despite my friends list.

I'm fairly pessimistic and realistic.

I don't have a religion, but i'm fine with people who do.

I have a few nicknames such as:
Ace, after a strange game of strip poker.
My user name, something my brother made up when he was like, 9.
DNNB. Ask me what it means.

I get teased because i'm really tall. 6'1, and i'm a chick.

I'm not well-liked for a lot of very good reasons.

I'm good at finding the worst things people, which i don't like, but eh.

I'm not very sensitive, and find it hard to be around people who are.

I'm a potty-mouth, but i'm trying not curse in this explaination of myself.

I don't really focus on myself a lot, i'm the eldest of 7 kids.

That's it for now, i doubt any one really cares to know about me, but ask me a question, i'll answer you accordingly.

From the top~

x I have too many nicknames, I can't even keep track of them
x I'm 19
x I'm female
x I'm open to dating men or women.
x I live in N.Ireland
x I'm actually Australian/English not Irish
x I'm Moravian but I believe that any religion is correct, as there is no evidence against them.
x I believe in the existance of non-human but humanoid creatures simply because we can't prove they don't exist and we do have stories about them, they had to start somewhere. Right?
x In my whole nineteen years, I've liked four guys and only had one boyfriend [it lasted just over a month] my ex isn't one of the four guys I've liked.
x I'm currently in love with a person who doesn't know it and probably never will, do to my own fear and concern.
x I get upset occasionally from reading Shojo manga, but I adore it all the same.
x I want to live forever just to see how people and the earth evolves through time, I want to gain knowledge.
x I dislike eating.
x I like to help others and listen to their problems, even if I neglect my own feelings and never follow my own advice.
x I have a horrible habit of feeling jealous over my best friend when they start to make other friends, most likely as I lost my first close friend since I moved to a pack of girls who didn't like me for no real reason -__-;
x The first thing I notice, is eyes and hair. I adore pretty/cool/beautiful/unusual eyes, they're my favourite part of photographs of people.
x I love singing, but have too much stage fright to even consider a carer in it.
x My fashion style changes daily from, jeans, to cute skirts, to black, to monochrome. [not in that order of course].
x I get lonely enough to talk to my ex, but then regret speaking to him pretty quickly -__-;
x I lack motivation to do a lot of things.
x I believe I probably would never attempt to take my own life even if I was depressed, simply due to how much I'm against it, I've had to talk three different people out of it. My best friend's ex [who was almost impossible to get through to], my school friend, and my ex... Twice.

I'm 17, almost 18
I'm from California, born and raised.
I have 2 dogs, one is about a year, the other is 18 months, I think

One of my favorite places is the public library that's close to my house
I'm a Nerdfighter and a Troper. Proud of both

My name is Taylor. I'm 18 years old. Sept. 4th is my birthday (turning 19).
Situated in Canada at the moment.
I have aspersers’ syndrome, however, I am able to cope with general society. I hate the term aspies. Next it'll be Asbakun. Or askfc. >Implying a** Burger, Pie, Bacon, and KFC. Finger Likin' good.
I'm an artist, and I think that I'm always improving on it. My main medium is Origami, acrylics, and water colour. I plan on getting into sculptures. I do create my own models sometimes.
I think my favourite show has to be Bones.
A blue merle collie named Paisley, and three cats (Ellie, Spike, and Jack).
I'm an atheist, but that says very little about what I actually believe. I feel it not necessary to express them at the moment. I can say that I'm progressive.
I'm planning on going to college for Biological technician.
AS has a known symptom of "Hyper focusing". Origami, biology, and religion/politics is rather focused for me.

I've been on Gaia for a while but never really used its forums much. Maybe now would be a good time to start. I when on Google and looked for the best forums on the internet, and Gaia Online was second to none, and 4chan following close behind.

My name is Alex. I'm 16 years old and I'm going to turn 17 in mid September. I'm a virgo, and I used to let my astrological sign define me, but I'm not like that anymore...
I live in a suburb a few miles west of Chicago. It's a fifteen minute drive downtown. I'm currently unemployed but I'm looking to start low, maybe as a cashier for Culver's, so I should be employed soon. I'm going to a college prep private high school. I enjoy being there. Quite a few interesting characters. I started my band from my school. It's called Last Summer In Heaven. You can check out our songs from our EP release on our MySpace. (No I'm not going to link it, just Google it damn it.)
I play a few instruments. I'm not very good at any of them... I'm a real jack of all trades but master of none. These include guitar, acoustic and electric, bass, drums, vocals, piano, ukulele, recorder and trombone. Okay, well, the last two are from school and I never play those anymore... haha.
My taste in music varies big time. I like lots of metal, pop rock, techno, classical, rap, rock, indie, ska, and so on. From each genre respectively, I'd say my favorite artists were Avenged Sevenfold, P!nk, Deadmau5, Mozart, Kid Cudi, Led Zeppelin, Death Cab For Cutie, Reel Big Fish, and honorable mentions go to Metallica, The Fray, Mumford and Sons, Green Day, Paramore, and Adele. My favorite music is any kind that gets my blood flowing, sends chills down my spine or nearly makes me cry.
On that last one, I don't really cry at anything anymore. I used to take pride in that... how emotionally "strong" I was... but now I see it as a curse rather than a gift. It's because I was sexually traumatized when I was younger. Not having anyone to talk to left me alone to try and hit the ground running. Luckily I was able to do so... but damn, I should be able to be attached to my emotions, and not just bottle stuff out and get through it. I have a psychologist helping me be able to feel my emotions more.
I recently broke up with my girlfriend of three months. Recently being St. Patrick's Day. I remember which day it was clearly because we had a case of Guinness in the fridge, and me and my mom shared a few beers over my loss. She broke up with me because I couldn't sympathize with her problems, and she said some of them I was the cause of, so I was being unhelpful on more than one level. *sigh* Women.
In terms of a social life, I used to think I was a hermit, to the point where it bugged me. But I recently started to get out there more, and I've got a few friends here and there now, and I'm... happy.
