Fave book: Stephen King's "Misery" and "Salem's Lot." (Pet Cememtary was just plain scary and I never finished it.

Did this almost 6 months ago, and so it's high time...

Age: 22

Occupation: student...

Future Aspirations: I want to be a vocal bombshell of a theater actress who teaches literature at her former university...all of that after I finish my music degree in another university.

Goal(s) in life: To travel with whoever I'll marry, write a novel about about my crazy family, to play Elen in Miss Saigon and Eponine in Les Miz, to learn Elvish, to develop my voice into that of both a Celtic maiden and that of an AfricaN priestess.

Famous for: being the one hit wonder in high school (not bad for an outsider who has something to prove, being the one who dresses very cool, for acing a paper about a play I only got to watch half of....

Quotation to live by: If God is for me, then who is against me?

Comments:
I often find myself caught between two pages of a thick book, or vocalizing to some Celtic tune. People say I rock. People say I'm beautiful. People say I'm loosing weight. People say I'm crazy...and I'm a sucker not to believe them. I'm a person who determines to reinvent herself and at the same time discover who I really am beneath this shell of a displaced Fil-Am. I am an older sister to many out of wisdom, a younger sister to some who have no one to have a laugh with. I'm really generally pensive, bordering on sad, but heck. Once I break into a few four-letter words out of outragous prayer, I'm fine. (it's between God and me, so if you don't mind...) I'd rather be called spiritual. If there's a bit of truth in this world, I can't find in myself because I tend to lie to myself, and it certainly can't be found in this world. I hate to follow the crowd, and so there you might find me: wearing orange when everyone else is in blue or black.

that's me.

Spare a thought for thoes

They have little hope,
Yet the day approaches
When they too shall see his glory
Elessar, the Return of the King.

As was said by one of my kindred,
Alas! The fell deeds of New Line Cinema!

[*Varda*]

About time that this got updated. I’m going to have to find my older posts, since I think I made a dogs dinner of this one.

Name (that you go by): Varda, Lindsay, Lindz
Age: 17
Occupation: full-time student/”catering assistant” as Tesco kindly dubs me.
Future Aspirations: Oh, blah. *tries to think of a few*
Goal in life: Must I have a goal? I’m just a drifter at heart…oh well, I suppose it would be to be happy, and all that stuff.
Short term goals: Survive the last six weeks of secondary school without too many hangovers from endless parties/rollickings from teachers/going to too many classes. Pass Advanced Higher English. Convince Dad to fork out the money for me going to Edinburgh for uni. That’ll do for now.
Hobbies: Reading, writing, singing, chatting, seeing my friends.
Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): Am I famous for anything…? Fine then, my ability to skip numerous classes and go to Italian only once out of six classes every week, without ever getting pulled up about it.

What you most love to do: read, chat, listen to music
Your self-confessed flaws: I can be stubborn…(but not to the point that I can’t stand myself, can get fed up with people quite easily
What intrigues/fascinates you: These questions are hard…I find it interesting how history can be looked at from so many different viewpoints…and how twisted the truth can get over the years.
What scares you: It used to be death, but I think I’ve come to some kind of acceptance of that…so I suppose it’s spiders.
Quotation to live by: I think I have too many quotations to dig through and find an appropriate one. If you desperately need a Varda quote, consult Gayahithwen.
Additional comments: Live life as you actually want to live it…don’t listen to your parents.
