About

______________
I'm Emily, I was born and raised in France, but moved to Belgium about a month ago.I was born deaf. From the start I'd just like to say that I do not write these "about me" sections for you readers, this may seem a little strange but it's the truth. I only ever write when I feel the need to get something off my chest, get my thoughts inline or just to set for myself a general direction in which to head. I've found that these "writings" tend to give a better picture of myself as a person than any half arsed, egotistical, self promoting "about me" ever would. So, what sort of person am I? I think it's hard for any person to honestly describe themselves, their flaws and imperfections as well as their talents and qualities. Whenever I look at profiles online people always seem to be trying to sell themselves to the online community by saying how great they are or alternatively how "badass" they are, how they don't give a f u c k about what you think etc. I find these kinds of people, in general, insufferable. They all come across as rather generic and further cement my belief that todays culture encourages sheep like behaviour and shameless imitation. Not that I haven't done it myself, far from it actually. Right, back to the question at hand, what sort of person am I? I'm just a girl. I think I'll leave describing what sort of person I am at that as I don't feel comfortable trying to describe myself anymore. I guess now I should really talk a little about myself as this is an "about me" after all. Well I wouldn't really say I'm your average 17 year old as cliche as this may sound. I'm an introvert person, I tend to keep myself to myself and I'm shy with new people. If I'm honest new people make me very nervous as I find first impressions are important and well, I generally suck at giving a good first impression. I'm a major book worm, there isn't much out there I enjoy more than curling in with a good book. I read every day and get through a few books a week generally. I'm a purely fiction reader, enjoying the sci fi, fantasy, horror, crime and thriller genres and I stick to these solely as I find all other genres not to my liking. That's not to say I won't try a book recommended to me from another genre but generally, I won't enjoy it. Now on to the "friends" department of the typical "about me". This is where I should spout some crap about how my friends are the best in the world ever and that if you touch them I'll kill you right? Just like every other little kid on here of course. If I were to say such things then I'd be lying if I'm honest. There's only some friends I'm bothered about and their big enough to look after themselves but if the situation arises where they needed help, I'd have their backs because that's what friends do. As for everyone else I know well, I know them but there not really my friends at the end of the day, just people I know, harsh but true. I'm now at a loss really for anything else to write here so I guess I'm just going to have to leave it at that. If, by any chance, you want to know more about me or ask any questions don't be afraid to ask, I'll reply to any genuine queries but don't expect a prompt reply because frankly, you won't get one. "PET PEEVES" I dislike it when people continually bombard my inbox thing with messages when I don't reply instantaneously to whatever comment they left me. It irritates me immensely and will either result in me blocking you or sending you hate mail, depending on my mood. I really do not understand why people feel the need to add themselves to their own friends list. It strikes me as rather pathetic. The phrase "haters make me famous" also strikes me as rather stupid. Why would anyone want to gain celebrity status from the negative opinions of others? I struggle to comprehend why so many of you on this site feel the need to say "I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet". Why put this when it isn't true, it only serves to make you look arrogant. "I could care less" I only ever find this statement on American profiles and it always makes me laugh as it makes the person look like a fool. What you mean to put is "I couldn't care less" because what your saying is that you care about what your saying to begin with when in actual fact your trying to say the exact opposite. "I'm not like anyone else, I'm unique". Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but let's face it, you're not. Dont add me or talk to me iF uR GoIn 2 tLk LyK dIz. If you ADD me and don't talk to me, your going to get removed from my friends list...

To Write Love on Her Arms
The story of a girl.
Has changed so many lives.

In my dream I see before me a forest of crucifixes which gradually turn into trees. At first there appears to be dew or rain dripping from the branches, but as I approach I realize it is blood. Suddenly the whole forest begins to writhe. The trees, stark and erect, ooze blood. A man goes to each tree catching the blood in a cup. When his cup is full he approaches me. "Drink," he says. But I am unable to move."
