Hello, my name is Kendra. I'm 17 years-old and I'm steadily making my way through my senior year of high school.
I've considered myself to be an only child, though I have three older half-siblings living somewhere out in the Midwest (of the US). Hmm . . . I'm really not too sure about their exact locations. Two are male and the other--the only one that I've met--is female.
My parents are divorced, and my mother is the dominant caretaker. She and I have been through quite a lot together; I really respect her for her strength and perseverance. Though I doubt that I've blossomed from our many difficult experiences, I know that I've learned quite a few things about relations with distant relatives and lovers. Though . . . I've never had experience with dating or anything of the sort. Simply, I'm single and not looking for I have other priorities.
My family is pretty big, mainly because my grandmother and grandfather on my mother's side had seventeen children. I like this aspect of my family . . . and I guess that's why it hurts to be so far away from many of them because I feel such comfort within the large gatherings at Christmas and during summer reunions.
Well, the majority of my family lives in Illinois, my home state. I now live in southern California. I've lived here for about three to four years now.
I've had quite a few pets in the past: mice, hamsters, fish, a dog, parakeets, a mill worm, and earth worms. Right now I have a Pomeranian named Rocky. ^-^ He's such a spoiled brat, but I love him anyway.
I love to sing, play the viola--though I've yet to buy my first one--, draw, write, read, roleplay, ride my bike, discuss current events and important issues, etc.
The two things that I'd like to fix are my chronic laziness and lack of consistency. -_- Also, I need to better a few relationships as well, especially if I'm determined to go to college sometime soon.
I'm a hopeless romantic. ^-^;; I love shoujo. Though I also like the variation of manga directed toward college women and young adult women. I think that it's called josei, or something like that. A good example is Kimi Wa Petto.
I love words. That's what generally encourages me to learn more. I almost always have my tattered dictionary nearby, whether I use it or not. XP
I like old things . . . especially old coins, books, jewelry, etc. I suppose that they have such an admirable venerable quality that I can't let them go to waste. That's why I saved the painting that I bought at an antique shop--my mom tried to throw it away. Though I haven't a use for it yet, I will do something with it. Maybe I'll hang it in my dorm . . . hopefully if I'm set for college this upcoming year. Or maybe I'll give it to someone who really admires the painting. It's very nice actually . . . it consists of a light house surrounded by crashing waves.
Let's see . . . now for music. I like a lot of different genres. This includes J-rock, J-pop, Egyptian, German, Italian, Spanish, Portugese, African, Neo-soul, Rock, Metal (to an extent), Country (to an extent), Gospel, Classical, Old School, R and B, Ska (to an extent), Screamo (to an extent), Indie Rock, Soft Rock, Soul, etc. From time to time I'll go through a monthly to bi-monthly music phase. During this period of time, I'll put a major emphasis on one specific genre. This is usually caused by an introduction to a new manga series, anime, person, movie, music, etc.
I tend to be a reticent person, as well as very shy and introverted. I'm usually a very friendly person. I become talkative when I'm comfortable with someone. I often doubt myself and feel that I'm annoying people almost all the time. I don't want to burden people . . . so that causes me to kind of close up.
Hmm, I'm complacent, or at least that's what I've been told. I like to give and donate my time when it is asked of me. I'm happiest when I'm doing something constructive.
I've also been told that at times my way of addressing a situation or person is comical. I guess it can be since I'll usually tilt my head to the side when I'm meditating or I'll put a large emphasis on a question . . . even if I'm just repeating words verbatim.
Eh, I'll stop here. I typed a lot more than I intended, but that's ok. ^-^
