Introduction?

I've Never Been Good at Introductions. 

But unfortunately, life is all about them. When we are born, our parents introduce us to the rest of the world, by sending out little announcements that tell everyone our full names, birthdays, weight, and height. On the first day of kindergarten, your Mother spends far too much time making a poster for you to bring to your class, so you can introduce yourself, along with a bag of snacks to share with your peers, in hopes that they will like you. In junior high school, you can't rely on poster or snacks anymore, now it's all about what clothes you wear, how you did your makeup or styled your hair, and when you introduce yourself to your class, the looks on their faces say it all, whether or not they liked you, and want to sit by you at lunch or invite you to hangout after school, or if you're better off joining a nerdy club or team so you can meet other freaks just like you. In high school, the introductions stop because after three years of hell, everyone knows each other's business, and everyone already has a group of friends, and there is not room for one more. I could go on forever about introductions, but all I really have to say is that an introduction is a statement made by you in order to get others to like you. Sadly, they have never worked out in my favor. 

So who am I?

If I really wanted you to know who I am, then I would just put my name up on my blog instead of coming up with a shitty pen name that exposes my lack of creativity. But I can tell you this. My real name is almost as shitty as my pen name. My favorite sound, sight, and smell is rain. I hate how sensitive I am. My biggest fear in life is never marrying or getting a divorce. I like sitting on my ass and eating s'mores ice cream more than I like running on a treadmill. I procrastinate way too much. I'd rather be on tumblr than do homework any day. I'm loyal. I have a hard time being nice to people I don't like. I still pretend I'm a movie star, and my dream is to win an Oscar for best actress.

I know that was long, and you probably got bored and stopped reading halfway, but I have lots to say.
