Do I sound like an oddball to you?

-I am a girl, I am a hardcore gamer, and when I'm hooked on something, I'll play it for days on end.

-I read about history, politics, and geography in my spare time. I'm addicted to searching up news stories on the internet.

-I dress up a lot more often than most people for occasions generally not considered to warrant it. I'm almost always the one who's overdressed. See these pics for examples of things I've worn:

-I send messages to people, but they rarely respond (especially not if they're girls who went to my high school or Jr. High). For more about this, see here:

-I'm quiet, but sociable. I'm not involved in anything, but people still know me. I'm studious, but not an overachiever. I don't give a f-ck about etiquette outside of basic things, and I speak my mind. I'm not confident in myself at everything, but when I really want something I'll go for it.

-I say some unusual things and I use big long words like "disheartening", "pedantic", "posthumous", etc.

-I feel proud when people use any of the following words to describe me: "weird", "creepy" (in a good way, not in a stalker way), "odd", "awkward", "eccentric" (my personal favourite), "different". =)

-I am a cynical misanthrope who finds everything annoying and depressing. I know, I know, "misanthrope" one of those "big long words" I talked about above. Look it up if you want to know what it means. =P

-Time for some more fancy words - I have a certain "penchant for the macabre", so to speak. I like works of art that are dark, morbid, psychologically tormentuous, and just downright gloomy. I use the term "works of art" loosely - for me, it can be music, stories, drawings, paintings, video games, architecture, etc. Among my favourite "works of art" in that sense are as follows: Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, The Legend of Zelda series, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VIII, Catcher in the Rye, Dracula (the novel), Bully (A.K.A. Canis Canem Edit), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Schindler's List, The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, Penn & Teller's Bullsh!t, South Park, the remake of the original Resident Evil for the GameCube, Resident Evil 4, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, L.A. Noire, Night (Elie Wiesel's account of life as a Hungarian Jew in a concentration camp), The B@stard of Istanbul (Elif Shafak, a Turkish novelist), Speak (novel by Laurie Halse Anderson), Saving Private Ryan, The Sixth Sense. I can't think of any more at the moment, sorry. =/

-I'm a really easygoing person who never lets anything get to her, even if I do find everything annoying (as stated above). Everyone else is panicking over something? Not me. Someone's screeching at the top of their lungs over something I didn't do or a mistake I made? I tell them politely to chill out. I guess you could say I'm a natural pothead.
