Just to get this thing going.
Let me tell you about myself...
firstly, I live in England, but I'm going to Florida this saturday for 3 weeks, and I've been ludicrously excited.
I love fiction; both reading and writing. One of my dreams is to one day have a bestselling novel that will move people and change their opinion on one of the things that I'm passionate about. However, I dislike poems, so that's pretty daft.
Likewise...I hate alot of pathetic things. Unfortunately I can be quite a picky person and I don't tend to like new people until I know them well. But even then, it takes a LONG time before I properly trust someone - there is a very small, rare amount of people in this world that I do.
I have a huge appreciation for life. I've mentally grown a stunning amount in the last couple of years (as mentioned again below, personal reasons, long story.) and with it I've escaped depression and my view of everything is completely different. I'm so grateful for each little happy moment because I never know when it'll leave it. I have a huge zest for life and I want to do everything before I die. My dad pretty much did, and I've got off to a good start - only a teenager and already I've often been commented on how much I have done. But there is so much more to do in this world, and it fustrates me when I see so many people not bothering or appreciating - or, even worse, complaining about insignificant things and ignoring what I would kill to have.
I have a big thing for the film I Am Legend; I felt right in his shoes and I feel that it points out the importance of nature, how our race meddles far too much and thinks far too much of ourselves, and how even the tiniest glimmer of light in the darkest, nastiest of places can provide such happiness, the importance of bonds and how hope never dies - it only sleeps.
I have always been an animal-girl; i was always the kid pointing out the exciting squirrel while others looked at me as if to say, "what the hell who cares". It hurts me terribly to see others not caring about when an animal is in trouble.
For as long as I can remember, killer whales have been different. I can't put my finger on it.
I live to be underwater. Jumping in, diving, and swimming on the surface is fun...but it has nothing on being deep under. The deepest I have been is 82ft, freediving with no equipment except some fins, and it was absolutely amazing. I just hope that one day I have strong enough lungs and the opportunity to go much deeper.
After this summer I start A Levels, which, if I do well enough, will enable me to get my degree so I can get nearer to my ambition of working with the mysterious orcas. I know A Levels sounds bland, but I have never lived to my full potential (personal reasons. Long story, I guess); I've always shown alot of it, but I have never actually done what I can - so I'm excited to see exactly what that is.
And I can't think of anything else. See you later! Possibly with Florida-Time info. :)
