Some kind of meme.
Oct. 17th, 2010 08:27 pmDay 01 - Introduce yourself in great detail
My name is Fiona Jane Southwell, and I'm little under a month off being 22 years old. I am not looking forward to it. I'm 5'7", caucasion, with a slim build and very annoying blond hair that never does what I want, and green eyes. I wear glasses, and have done since I was fifteen, as I'm short-sighted, and I've noticed over the years that it's steadily getting worse.
I have a very limited (ie, non existent) sense of fashion and will wear clothes until they begin to fall apart, not because of any particular lack of caring about myself, I just don't see the point in buying new clothes when the ones I have still fit. I still live with my parents, in a decently-sized room full of my own stuff. I have a small but lovely collection of dragon statues and figurines, and four bookcases, none of which match, and a shelf, full of books. I'm very bad with books - I own over 400, and have yet to read 50 of them, yet I keep buying new ones. I would rather buy new books than new clothes.
I am incredibly stubborn and strong-willed, courtesy of a double-dose of both from both sides of my family. I won't apologise for something I haven't done wrong (in fact apologising for anything is hard for me to do), and if I know I'm right, nothing is going to persuade me otherwise. I do not appreciate being told what to do, as my mother has found out many times, and I can hold a grudge for a very long time - even after I forget why exactly I'm holding the grudge. However I also forgive easily, depending on what happened. I can be a person's best friend, or remove them entirely from my radar, and there's very little in between. I'm a loving person, and when I say I see you as a friend, I mean it, even if it's only been a few days.
People have told me that I give off a vibe that makes me easy to trust, and so far it's proven true. I've been a staff member on a depression/suicide support site for over five years. I also served a small stint with the Samaritans, a support phone line, on which I can claim two saved lives, but unfortunately because of transport issues and personal confidence problems I wasn't able to continue.
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to teach. So many people have said that it would be a good career path for me, but lately, I've reached a point where I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life. It's a little frightening - the only thing I'm sure of is I want to get out of this country and move to Canada with my awesome boyfriend. Why Canada? I couldn't really say.
Running out of steam now, so I'm going to tie it off there. Anything else you want to know, comment~
