I have stuff to prove to MYSELF. Anyone who reads this, this isn't directed at you. I need to think about something, and define myself, to well... myself. I've had some trouble trying to think about "who am I?" and I'm going to use fifi's PM as a basis to answer that question. (No offense fifi, it just has some good points I'd like to think about) So here I begin:
Who am I?
---------
I'm a person who loves her mind, I think my worst fear about dying is well... losing my mind. I don't believe there is an afterlife, so I will dearly miss thinking, it's what I do and I cherish my mind over anything else. If I had my choice, I'd think all day, I like going into depth in things... and can usually think in ways some people cant. I don't have mood swings like some girls, I can be emo sometimes though. It happens when I think into depth too much, it does tend to make me depressed. It's not like I can stop thinking, and I try to change topics when I do get "emo". So, it's not really something people can cheer me up on, but in a way they can ^^ by trying to cheer me up they change the topic, and that itself helps. My family is special in its own way. I have 1 brother who is in College, about to graduate... I love him so much. And I have another brother who I hardly see, and no one will ever... ever take his place. He's special in his own way and you've gotta treat him like a regular person, cause well... he is one. My mom and dad, I love them both. I don't quite connect with my father, and we often fight because we can't see in the same point of view and he usually gets me off about something. My mom... we connect easily, she's awesome. Even if she doesnt see my point of view, she'll try. And that takes a lot of effort to do. Like almost all other teenagers, our view of the world is a lot different than our parents. Currently they tend to say stuff that I would find obvious, and I have no patience at this point in my life. I look forward to the future when I'll hopefully have a broader view on life/the world and can understand them better. I have a certain.. issue. I've developed a shell in a way, not many people can honestly break through it. I don't ever share my issues or things that are really bothering me, I'll just give people the main topic and wont go into details. I don't trust people, or I trust them too much... I can't find a middle ground. I love thinking about the future. I've already started saving for college and refuse to buy anything with that money. My parents may help out a bit, but they can't provide for it all, especially with them helping my brother. Hopefully I won't have to take out too big of a loan. Yes, they COULD pay for it all, but I refuse to let them do that, and they won't. I take harder classes, sometimes harder than I should. I love a challenge and don't think there is a point to school if it's all easy. I finish most of my homework in school, and the rest I can finish in under 30 min... I just like spreading it out across a few hours because I multi-task. If I needed to, I wouldnt have to do homework all day. It just gives me something to do. I needed a tutor in my one subject (geometry) because I had a D, close to an F in the class. Now I'm pulling through with a slim B ;D. I help pay for my tutoring, because I think it's important. I'll soon run out of money to help pay... but we'll see what happens when that time comes, I may just get a student tutor. My parents pay for my shelter, food, and clothes. Put only to a certain extent. I have a clothing budget, just enough so I can replace the things I grow out of. Yes, my family is well off... but my parents didn't raise us to be spoiled people who disregard the importance of earning money. My parents pay my taxes until I go off to college (turn 18), at which point I'm in full control over them. They may pitch in a bit, but it's pretty much all in my control. I earn most of the items I have myself. My overall dream in life is to save enough to pay off college, get an okay job, and finally eventually... get a small house/apartment. It may take a while but I'll get there. I don't beg for things like some people might think. I merely mention them, and am sometimes lucky enough for my family to pitch in to get me it for a holiday. Such as my Xbox 360, I had mentioned to my brother... well more like complained about how my xbox literally died. He apparently decided to give me his old xbox 360 instead of me buying a used xbox. It's really rare when he's that generous, and I didn't expect it. I've had someone tell me that my life is "perfect" and I have everything. My family is falling apart, but yes I do have material things. I'd honestly trade everything I have for my family to be... well a family. I love them how they are, but what I'm saying is Family and friends are more important than material objects. To be quite honest, I like how I am. Even thought some things could improve... I'm missing a few tendons and stuff in both of my ankles, which could case me to go lame later in my life. But for now it's all good, I have special feet thingys that help keep it from getting worse. I have asthma, it used to be really bad but it's practically gone... it still really limits me during exercise, and because of it I can't run very far without having to stop. The main issue... is migraines. They aren't quite understood, but it's caused by an inbalance in chemicals of the brain. I get them frequently, but I'm determined to not let them stop me. When people compare migraines to headaches, I get angry. They literally make it so you can't think, you have to actually ORDER yourself to move, instead of just being about to move an arm. Mine are a bit more than migraines. I have optical and abdominal migraines on top of normal ones. Optical are the most severe. They sometimes cause me to go to the hospital, the symptoms can range from seeing spots in my vision, to going blind for any amount of time, to not being able to move, to having one side of my body paralyzed, etc. Abdominal affect my insides... such as making me throw up repeatedly etc.

Who am I?
I am Liz.. Elizabeth actually.
I value my friends, family, life, future...
I love both online and life friends.
I have a knack at understanding people (normally)
I value my mind.
and...
I don't let obstacles get in my way.
That's who I am.
Warning
This posts are my thoughts at the moment I'm writing them. Whether I agree with them now (most of the time I dont), or whether I still feel that way, doesn't matter.
They will stay here. :)
So please feel free to read my posts. But do me a favor and do not get offended by them.
