I am...

• Sarah
• twenty years young, though I feel quite old
• an exceedingly lonely person with no friends, merely acquaintances, and nowhere to go, who spends most of her time at home with her mother who is prone to moodiness and menopause and her father
• the History / Nostalgia Editor and assistant Film Editor at Thistle Magazine
• an incurably sensitive girl who cries more than is reasonably necessary
• an old soul at heart, but in oodles of ways a very modern, youthful girl
• an adorer of all that is antiquated; nary a modern trinket appeals to me
• jealous to a terrible, repulsive fault of anyone who appears to have better social circumstances than I
• trying to familiarize myself with that old-soul inside me
• someone ostracized by her peers in her unfortunate past
• disappointed with my general apathy for creative pursuits
• a historical reenactor of the Eighteenth Century
• anticipating monumental changes in my life in the coming year
• besotted with Nick Drake and convinced I'd have fallen deeply in love with him, had I known him personally
• prone to obsessive periods with anything and everything that last anywhere from months to years
• a former pupil of Catholic- and home- schools and currently a cyber-school student
• terribly quiet away from the confines of home but loud and (occasionally) obnoxiously opinionated at home
• surprisingly adequate at answering Jeopardy questions (or any trivia question, for that matter) correctly
• full of useless tidbits about historical characters
  • particularly English monarchs and Eighteenth Century persons
• partial to music as opposed to television
  • I could listen to it always
• usually barefoot
  • even in winter when wood and tiled floors are chilly
• often ruminating on songs and musical artists
  • in fact, my mind is chock-full of lovely song lyrics I wish I could write down...
• beginning college this year and consequently terrified
• an avid lover of indie and folk music
• in possession of low self-esteem
• in possession of a fast gait, and quickly outpace companions on walks
• an enigma to my family and acquaintances alike
• proudly left-handed
• addicted to internet radio
• tending to develop infatuations with boys I don't know directly, only through mentions in conversation by someone else who knows them or fleeting moments with strangers who seem interested in me (naturally, this breaks my heart), so most of my romantic thoughts are wistful speculation
• suddenly addicted to compiling lists
