I’m Kristin Leigh and as vital as that probably is to know, but after all what’s in a name? I am a writer and self proclaimed dramatist. I am far too emotional for my own good but at least I let my overflow run into a good source, right? I am a first year English major at Centenary College but I hope to transfer to Emerson or NYU in the autumn of 2006. I am also into music, reading, running, sight seeing and photography. And caffeine. I am definitely into caffeine. And Dasani Raspberry Favored water is pretty good too. I am quirky, indecisive, somewhat nerdy, opinionated (but open to other’s ideas) and quite a klutz. I would say I am unique but that’s redundant and I happen to hate redundancy. The human mind and thought process compels me, but I neither would nor could ever be a psychologist. I never want to have myself completely figured out because then life would ultimately be pretty boring and pointless. I have noticeable bad habits but I really could not care less what you think of them-they are mine and therefore a part of me. Rain makes me happy when I have nothing to do. I hate the snow because it depresses me with its phony innocence and harsh temperature. I follow my heart in most cases because I have found that when I use my head as my guiding spirit, it only gets me into trouble. I am a “goody two shoes” and I hate getting in trouble almost as much as I hate being late. I am always early. I wake up early, I arrive to class at least ten minutes early… I’m just an early person. I am obsessed with counting down days and pounds and counting calories and the amount of eye shadows I own. But I hate math. I hope to be a high school English teacher although I personally hated high school and could not be paid enough to relive the experience. I am sensitive to Aspartame (look it up if you do not know what it is) yet I chug sugar free Red Bull and Diet Coke like it’s my job. I’m a waitress at Friendly’s, by the way. And hopefully soon I will be a receptionist at Gold’s Gym. That’s irrelevant, yet somehow I felt the need for you to know that about me. I beat my own drum and walk along to my own rhythm and others follow in suit. I have beautiful little secrets and damaging little lies, all intertwined with one another. I am in love and I could go on for days about that but all you need to know is that I am complicated and anybody who deals with me for more than two seconds at a time is truly remarkable. He is my security blanket, my safety net and my shoulder to cry on. I try to think of him before I take certain actions and through that - he has inadvertently saved my life. ♥ Nick. I love doing my eye makeup and it admittedly (and shamefully so) takes me an hour and a half to “get ready” to go anywhere. I am vain but I am discreet about it… and that’s all that matters, right? I adore stuffed animals and I own too many\. I sleep with a teddy bear that Nick gave to me when we first began going out. I love green tea and animal crackers. I have been called stubborn, irritable, introspective, insightful and complex. I am fairly easy to get along with, hard to get to know and I do not change for anybody. I am who I am and I am not sorry if that’s hell for you. I used to care too much about who liked me and who did not, but I have come to realize that life is much, much more than superficial social groups and statuses.


Shouldn't we all be a little bit more of everything?
