About Me!!!

This post's prompt is supposed to be "Describing Myself." In my opinion this is an incredibly difficult thing to write about. It's impossible to write about oneself without sounding: a) irresolute and insecure or  b) egocentric. But, since I don't have much of a choice, i'll try my best to remain as neutral and honest as possible.

So I guess the first thing to describe would be my physical attributes. My looks aren't anything special. I don't have eight noses, or purple hair, nor do I have an extra finger or any tattoos. I'm simply a tall, slightly tubby, olive- eyed, blondish-brownish haired teenager.  There is nothing much beyond that.

^In case you didn't know, i'm the crazy person on the right. 

 Now I can get into the good stuff. When I hear someone say "Describe yourself" I tend to concentrate more on personality and what I like, rather than concentrating on the classic "head to toe" appearance summary. And while describing appearance is merely a matter of putting a solid image into words, describing personality is a little more complicated.

I just talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and...

I guess i can start with one of my biggest attributes... I am loud. Not necessarily i talk allot (I've heard that i do, but you can be the judge of that) or that I speak with a high volume ( throughout grade school I was constantly reminded to use my "indoor voice"), but just my whole personality is loud. I'm not one to sit down and watch as life flutters on by. I am pretty eccentric. NO, I do not go skydiving and bungee jumping whenever i have the chance. What I do is I make a big deal over a lot of the things  I do. Doesn't make very much sense, does it? Let me use an example. I recently finished reading the "Mortal instruments" book series (DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THESE BOOKS!!!). A movie will be coming out soon based on the first book. Me being... well... me, I have been getting very worked up over the soon-to-be motion picture. I've complained to friends about how disappointing the movie is based on the trailer, and i've been internally debating whether or not i should go and watch. I'm sort at war with myself, i can't decide if i should be excited or upset or not care at all!? Now, i'm sure this is totally normal, but this is how i act with every situation. I'm not bipolar or anything, i just get really excited about things (I guess you could say I am "excited about life.") And the only way to express my ardor for  life is to talk about it :)

I am also VERY indecisive. When people offer me a choice of pizza toppings or what movie to watch, i have an idea of what i like. But as soon as i am offered/ slightly convinced that something better is out there, i lose it. I don't know why, I don't know how, all i know is that making decisions is INCREDIBLY hard for me.

The last thing one should know about me is that I swim.

I don't want to post any pictures of me swimming (I LOVE swimming, but not how i look while im swimming) SO here is a pretty picture of some random pool somewhere in the world :)

No, i don't just go to the beach and sit in the water (well, i do, but that's not what i mean when i say i swim.) I am part of a swim team. I've been swimming competitively since i was about eight years old. But i have been in the water since i was three or four. Swimming is a HUGE part of me. I LOVE the water. I love how swimming makes me feel. I love where swimming brings me, and who swimming lets me meet. I am extremely devoted to swimming, i don't think i could ever trade it for another sport. I could go ON and ON about why i like swimming, what it's done for me, all the awesome experiences I've had, but the post would be so long, you'd have to wait a couple hours for it to load. So instead of boring you people to death (if a future prompt will allow it, i'll definately go into the swimming aspect of my life) i will sum everything up into one short sentence.
Swimming is Awesome.

Alrighty, so that's it for now. I've got my required 600+ words! So i shall go now! Thanks for reading :)
