    My Self Summary

    Hi there, I’m nineteen years old. I have a valid driver’s license, a clean record, and currently live with roommates.


    I’m a girl that’s pretty easy to get along with. I’m not a fan of fighting or drama for the sake of drama – I think we all got enough of that in high school. So if you’re still in that high school mentality, please move along.

    I like hiking, yoga, swimming, running, bike riding, dancing – just staying in shape, because it’s fun. Fitness and exercise is important to me, and hopefully to you. I’m definitely not a complete health nut, though, because I’m addicted to chocolate and fried foods. I like to think the exercise balances out my not-as-healthy-as-it-should-be diet.

    I love learning and pursuing new things. Learning and immersing myself in other cultures is a particular favorite pastime of mine. I think the different cultures and belief systems of the world are fascinating, and it’s important to be educated in the ways and ideas of other people.

    So, one thing you should know about me is that I’m not good at hiding my feelings. During a scary movie, I’m the one hiding behind a pillow while they all laugh at the bad effects. I also tend to blush a lot. On the plus side, I also laugh easily and I have a good sense of humor.

    (but don’t worry – I don’t get angry or upset very easily, because I have a lot of patience. Thank my siblings for that.)

    I’m of Greek descent, and my heritage is pretty important to me. I’m Greek Orthodox, and I am very involved in the local Greek community.

    What I’m doing with my life

    Working on my future.

    When I’m older, and have more income: I want to travel the world (I know, 9 out of 10 people say this). I want to see Asia, Europe, Africa,Australia… basically hit all the continents.

    I’m also working on getting citizenship from Canada, so I can have duel citizenship.

    I’m really good at

    Listening to others- I’m more on the quiet side, and I like helping people which made me the person to go if you needed a shoulder to cry to in high school. My friends still come to me for help often, because I listen without judging and I’m (usually) pretty good at giving them sensible suggestions.

    Reading- I’m an avid reader. One of my nicknames in high school was bookworm, and I read about two to three books a week. I’m not somebody who will force her partner to do the same, though.

    Working hard- I won’t claim I’m good at everything I try. Nobody is. But what I am good at is trying my best whenever I try something new, or something I’ve doing for a while.

    Anything to do with history- I’m hardly a history buff, but I love learning about the past, and the many ways the lessons of history can be applied to the present.

    Art- I love art, and anything creative. I might not be the best artist, but it’s fun and that’s what really matters. Three of my favorite artists are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Jackson Pollock. I believe that art can be found everywhere, and that you are only limited by your imagination.

    The first things people notice about me

    my height, probably, because I’m on the short side. Though I’m often told it’s my eyes. They also probably notice me tripping or running into something (I have a bit of a clumsy side).

    My favorite books, movie, music and food

    I have a thing for fluffy music, and stuff I can dance to. I also have a love for oldies.
    14 favorite artists:
    Lady Gaga, The Academy Is…, Ben Lee, the Cardigans, Cobra Starship, Reel Big Fish, Kaiser Chiefs, Steve Miller Band, Panic! at the Disco, Zebrahead, The Ting Tings, ABBA, Ray Charles, Eartha Kitt

    15 favorite movies:
    Mamma Mia!, Cat Ballou, The Last Unicorn, The Mummy, The Breakfast Club, Oliver and Company, Pleasantville, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Titanic, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Brokedown Palace,Edward Scissorhands, Jawbreaker, The Philadelphia Story, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
    I’m a sucker for romance and tearjerker movies, though I also like thrillers and horror. I’ll also watch anything with Mila Kunis, Gillian Anderson, orAmanda Seyfried in it, and anything directed by Tim Burton.

    6 favorite TV shows:
    That 70′s Show, Star Trek, X-Files, The Venture Bros, Futurama, andThe Soup.
    I also love a lot of the stuff on the History Channel and Animal Planet, and most of the stuff on Adult Swim.
    I watch some anime, though not as much as I used to. I’m more into manga.

    10 favorite books/series:
    Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu
    Sirena by Donna Jo Napoli
    Splendid Slippers by Beverley Jackson
    The Anything Box by Zenna Henderson
    Go Ask Alice by anonymous
    Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris
    Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan
    Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich
    Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Raws
    The Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder

    Some favorites authors include Stephen King (I’m attempting to collect all of his books), Lois Duncan, Antonia Fraser, Dean Koontz, Richard Matheson, Ayn Rand, Philippa Gregory, and Lisa Jackson.
    I tend to go for superficial fiction (romance and thrillers), and historical non-fiction. I despise the Twilight series and think it sets a poor, unrealistic, and possibly dangerous example for young girls.

    I read a ton of manga – my favorite manga-ka is the great Rumiko Takahashi.

    I love Greek food, Italian food, and Pan Asian food. I also have a fondness for chocolate and fondue.

    The six things I could never do without

    I could never be who I am without my faith, my family and friends, love, money, and chocolate.

    I spend a lot of time thinking about

    my future, my present, God, time, ethics, love, why people do what they do, why I do what I do, the state of the world… I’m a daydreamer, and I tend to think a lot, and over think.

    On a typical Friday night I am

    hmmm, who knows?
    I could be out on a date, out with my friends, hanging out downtown, curled up at home with a good book… my schedule is always changing.

    The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

    Sometimes… I eat raw cookie dough.

    You should message me if

    If you think we’ll get on well.
    If you know the difference between piqued, peeked, and peaked icon smile Sunday Showcase: Adorable. Freakin Adorable.
    Or if you love eegees and Bookmans.

    I love it. I think the only thing that I would lose is the first line. Having a license and a clean record? I kind of think that would be pretty basic, you know? You’re a bright girl and I think that sentence, particularly right at the beginning — even in jest — dumbs you down.

    Also, green eyes! We are a exquisite and lovely rare breed, aren’t we?
