9. I love to write but I'm too much of a wuss to do anything with my stories.

10. For some reason I get irrationally mad about stupid things. Like revolving doors and comic sans. I can't justify it, they just anger me!

 

[Cast No Shadow]

1. I'm 20 and 5'2"...ask anyone who doesn't know me how old they think I am, I guarantee it'll be 16 or younger. I once got mistaken for a school kid, when I was a holiday rep.
2. I can be pretty selfish. This is not something I'm happy with, and want to change!
3. My mum is my inspiration, 100%. There is no one I love as much as her. She's my best friend in every way, and she knows every detail of my life.
4. I used to get in trouble every day in high school. I got accused of vandalising computers, of skiving off, I got caught forging my parents signatures on detention slips...but I was still my head of year's favourite, because she thought I was mischievous.

[Vamp Jenny]

1. Sad moments in movies an TV shows always make me cry. I usually start crying whenever a character does. And if it's a guy, it's even worse. Can't explain why.

2. I used to be a Backstreet Boys freak. I can't say fan because I was literally picturing myself marrying Nick Carter... And I didn't care that I was 16 and he was 26 and it was completely illegal.....

3. I'm very quick at switching fanbase, apart from anything Whedon-related. I can buy a calendar and I usually switch fanbase 6 months later, so I'm stuck with a calendar I don't even like for the last months. Did it with Twilight and now with TVD.

4. I'm an artistic person at heart. Anything artistic, I already tried. Drawing, acting, singing, dancing, writing....

5. When I was in elementary school, I didn't want to be veterinary or a princess when I grew up. Apart from being an actress or a singer, I wanted to be a librarian. My BFF and I used to play with the books at school, acting like we were in a library.

6. I can't control my weight changes. I try to, but I always end up sitting on my couch eating candies and chocolate... I eat less then I used to, but it's still bad for my health.

7. I frequently ask myself if I am normal, for pretty much all my "close" friends are gay or bisexuals and I'm the only single one (and straight).

8. I have a hard time making friends in real life (meaning not on the internet). Right now, I have only one friend whom I talk frequently with. Others are my high school friends whom I see once or twice a year.

9. I went to a Twilight convention in July 2010 and had my picture taken with Alex Meraz (Paul in the wolfpack). I have it on my phone and everyone thinks he was my prom date due to the hug-like picture we took. 😀

10. People generally find me weird, which I have a hard time dealing with. I'm not a follower and I have my own ideas, but I mostly like things that aren't real (like my all-time obsession with BtVS and my current love for the Winchester brothers). All those things make me an outsider, even on forums (like the Vampire Diaries forum these days....)

I know it was supposed to be 10 things, but this one is important!!!
11. My mom and I frequently have Gilmore Girls moment. We've been living together all my life and we tell each other pretty much everything.

 

[Jodast]

1. I am diabetic

2. The coolest place I have ever visited is Seattle

9. Watching Top Gun cures me of any woes.

10. I would totally 'change teams' for George Clooney or David Boreanaz

 

[sisterofmercy]

1. I have sporadic fainting fits once every year or so. Never found out why but it doesn't bother me much anymore.

2. I'm currently working my way through Woody Allen's back catalogue after loving Midnight in Paris.

3. I love learning and after becoming a teacher I'm going to do a law degree.

4. My dream job however is to work at an independent record label and help sign new acts.

5. I'm addicted to herbal tea, I get through tons of the stuff.

6. I fractured my skull when I was a few months old.

7. I'm a semi-professional singer but have put things on hold while I get through uni.

8. I'm fascinated by the relationship between science and faith.

9. I run a music blog and have since I was 15.

10. If I could go back in time to any place I'd go to Medieval England. The culture sounds amazing.

Sammy!!! I have unconditionnal love for this guy!! But I love Dean too 😉

There is nothing wrong with being weird. When people tell you that you're weird...you should take it as a compliment. Seriously. Weird people are awesome. Also, who determines what's normal anyway? When I use the word "normal" or if I say that someone isn't behaving in a "normal" way, I'm usually referring to their state of mental health. For example, throwing knives at Costco customers is not normal. Um, perhaps that was a bad example.

My point is, you should embrace being "weird" or different, even if people call you those things in a rude way, you should smile and say "Thanks". I used to say that all the time, and I didn't mean it, but after awhile...I started too. Now when someone tells me I'm weird or strange, I'm being genuine when I thank them.

I mean think about it...who the hell wants to be average and boring? I don't believe that anyone is, to tell you the truth. Everyone is a little weird, in some way. We all have our quirks and idiosyncrasies, some of us just have more than others 😉.

10. I once stole a chocolate Orange.

My friend and I once stole...an entire tree of real oranges...from her neighbor. For some reason, we were convinced that it wasn't stealing because they were growing over my friend's roof. We didn't realize that we had done something naughty until we tried to sell them to the same neighbor. Ha.

Believe me, I don't want to be boring. I like not being a follower. But ever since high school, where I've been bullied enough for my entire life, people saying that I'm weird or acting like they don't wanna be my friends because I'm not like them just makes me feel rejected. And I have a hard time dealing with rejection. I'm this kind of people who needs love. And I'm unlucky enough to not get a lot of it. I frequently feel like I don't fit anywhere - my family, job (when I have one), school, etc. - and it's not a nice feeling at all.

*insert here the song Astronaut from Simple Plan for emphasis*

 

[Bluebird]

1. I once had a poem published, at age 11.

2. I get angry too easily sometimes, especially at people who can't control their kids. I have to get off a bus or whatever if there's a screaming kid on it.

3. I used to be shy.

4. I don't have any allergies, and I've never broken a bone.

5. I was a massive console geek for years. I think the PS1 was the best.

6. My family are very non-conforming. Parents were punks, who will go on protests and whatnot, but I was always free to make my own mind up about stuff like religion and drugs. If it was for me, cool, if it wasn't for me, cool. I think this has made me a better person.

7. I have some talent in art and music, and done well in school academically, but I've never used these to my advantage. I'm too much of a procrastinator.

8. I've never been outside of Europe.

9. I don't have any piercings. Not even my ears.

10. I can sail. I went sailing twice a week from age 11-16, and would love to take it up again, if it wasn't such an expensive hobby.
