about me


^O^ Hello there everyone! Welcome to Confident! ^_^ As many of you know, my name is Elizabeth! I go by many different nicknames such as Eliza, Elizacupcake (Best Bud Heather gave me that nickname), Libby, Liz, Lizzie, & many more. I am a High School Graduate & a Freshmen in college. I tend to get busy from time to time, since I do get piled with homework & a lot of the times I have to study for exams, which I totally hate! x__x I must say that I am a pretty happy girl, you'll rarely ever see me sad, but I have my days just like everyone else. I don't have a perfect life. I enjoy doing "chick things" as most of my guy friends would say. I can talk like it's my job. I love listening to music, singing and dancing. Ever since I can remember I've always danced and sang. It's just a lifestyle for me, so right now not being on any sort of dance team or choir sucks! I'm definitely a girly girl and "computer nerd". haha, I love to mess around with pictures, graphics and whatnot. Speaking of pictures, I always have my camera with me. Some find my habit a little obnoxious, yet they are usually the ones who want me to send them all of my pictures! I really do ♥ anything that is creative & artistic. ^___^ Anyway, I really do not want to ramble on all about me here! Enough as it is I put info about me in my profile! I'd love for people to get to know me through my journal! =P My journal is FRIENDS ONLY, but that doesn't mean that I am not adding. All you have to do is make a request in my Friends ONLY entry and I might consider adding you. Please, do not add me without my approval. I really hate when people add me without asking me. Don't be shy to leave me a comment! ^___^ I really am a nice person, unless of course you piss me off. x___X

[bluesbrothers]
Name: Meg
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Location: the East Bay, California
Occupation: Bookseller at BN, but searching for something else.
Languages spoken: English
Interests: Writing, reading, art, media, design.
Music: I listen to just about everything, but right now, I'm really digging Ben Folds (seeing him in November!!), Muse, the Matches, 80s pop.
Books: I read just about everything, but right now I'm reading 1776 by David McCullough and a John Lennon biography that I swiped from the advance readers copies stack.
TV: The Office, Lost, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, South Park
Games: World of Warcraft, Zelda, Mario, and just got into D&D.
How long have you been writing to pen pals? Several years, but within the last year really picked it up again.
How many pen pals do you have? about five.
How many pen pals do you want? one or two more!
How long are your letters? Medium to long, depends on what I receive and what I've got to say. I usually match what's sent to me.
Do you hand-write or type? Hand-write, definitely.
How long does it take you to reply to a letter? About a week, maybe a little more depending on my schedule or my scatterbrained tendencies to forget things.
What age would you like your pen pal to be? 17+, I'm not too picky.
Would you like them to be male or female? Don't mind.
Where would you like them to be from? Anywhere!
What are you looking for in a pen pal? Someone to have fun with and get to know.
Brief Description: Er, I hate these things sometimes, but I'm a college student studying Multimedia Arts, focusing on Web Design (yay for finally deciding what I want to do!), I don't watch much TV, but when I do, it's either Comedy Central late at night, or Nickelodeon during the day (which kind of solidifies my sometimes secret love for Drake Bell, but don't worry, I won't go on and on about him to ya. I've got someone do to that do ;D). I'm really into music and if I could afford a piano, I'd be there instead of on the computer, but alas, retail doesn't pay that much. I love Sanrio/San-X/cute things like that and have tons of cute stationery that I'm looking forward to using. I also love old cars and would absolutely love to own a 1966 Mustang someday. I'm kind of weird, my boyfriend sometimes thinks I'm more of a dude than he is (probably because I know more "guy" stuff than he does, like how to fix cars, what to do when something breaks, etc, lol), and I'd like to think of myself as pretty approachable/friendly. :D

Religion - funny aside [ August 25th, 2008 ]

alifay
[ mood | amused ]

So after my post and musings about religion last night, this quiz shows up on the blogthings syndicated feed. Thought provoking, the way timing can work out in such interesting ways.



You Should Follow Taoism



Your idea of religion (or spirituality) is broad and expansive.

You believe that God is everywhere and in everything.



For you, life is about achieving balance and harmony.

The more you can go with the flow, the happier you are.

Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Location: New Hampshire, USA
Occupation: Student/I also work at a movie theater
LanguagesSpoken: English, a small bit of Spanish
Lookingfor: I am probably looking for more of an email pal as I am a college student and don’t have a lot money but would definitely be open to snail mail. Email is just a lot easier and free and immediate so we can chat back and forth a greater ease.
Anyone that shares similar interests and I have a ton so it shouldn’t be too, too hard. It would be wicked awesome if I could find a penpal from Iceland because it is my favorite country or someone who has a similar love of Iceland. People from my other favorite countries like Peru, Tibet, Sweden, etc. I am a big fan of Europe and Scandinavian because of how awesome all those countries are as well as having a lot of ancestoral ties from there. But anywhere is fine.
Do you want new livejournal friends?: Sure
Religion: I would say I am spiritual but not religious. I am particularly interested in Buddhism.
AboutMe: Everything is sort of mixed in here but I am a college student studying Community Service/Leadership and later Business(Marketing)/International Affairs.
Hobbies/Interests: volunteering, photography, finding new music, learning about anything such as history, cultures, languages, playing and watching sports (favorite sports include baseball and hockey and I used to play softball), sleeping, poetry, reading, writing, drawing, watching tv/movies, and surfering the internet (I go on Threadless.com (addicted to those shirts) and facebook a lot). I also enjoy travelling although I haven't done much and I love animals. There is probably more but can't remember. :)
Music: I like all kinds of music (love music…love…love..love)…particulary ambient, environmental music, piano rock…the only thing I don’t tend to enjoy is rap.
 Lol…to many artists to list.
 Here is a selection of my music interests: A Fine Frenzy, Jon McLaughlin, Melee, Sigur Ros, Keane, Coldplay, U2, The Hush Sound, The Bravery, Elijah Bossenbroek, Death Cab for Cutie, Jack Johnson, Matt Costa, Kaiser Chiefs, early Snow Patrol (1st major CD is my favorite of theirs), Stars, Rooney, Brendan James, Switchfoot, Young Love, Hellogoodbye, The Beatles, The Rasmus, Rob Thomas, Matchbox Twenty, Sherwood, Jason Mraz, Copeland, Amiina (sort of a girl version of Sigur Ros), Seabear, The Postal Service, Until June, Umbrellas, Guster, Test Your Relex
 Books: The Tipping Point, Night, The Prophet, The Da Vinci Code, Harry Potter, Emotional Branding, The Joy of Living, Fight Club, Death Be Not Proud
Currently in the process of reading or starting to read the following: Mountains Beyond Mountains, What is What, Pay It Forward, Joy of Living , Emotional Intelligence, Brandsense, Blink, Catcher in the Rye, Into the Wild
TV: My favorite TV is the X-files (even though it is no longer on I still catch re-runs), All the CSI (favorite is the original), Bones, Greys Anatomy, House, America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway (other Bravo shows like Shear Genius and Top Design are fun too), New Amsterdam (cancelled L), Rescue Me, early The OC, LOST, I am sort of a TV junkie
Movies: I like suspense/thrillers, scary/horror movies, sci-fi, movies based on history/war movies, action, and comedies. I also like movies that have a sort of message/deeper meaning sort of thing.

On religion. [ August 24th, 2008 ]

I want a religion. I have wanted one for some time. I have tried to find my own way, find my own beliefs. But it seems like I need some guidance. I have always wanted to take a class on religion to try to find something that clicks, and just to understand more. Religion is such a huge part of human nature, and I want to understand it better. I want to know what people believe, why they believe it, and how those beliefs manifest themselves.

I have a few beliefs of my own I have picked up over my life journeys, firm beliefs that don't falter. For one, the most important one to me, is the power of the person. A lot of people believe that the power comes from an outside source, a single (or multiple) greater being(s). I believe that all powers reside within the person. That that power takes form in prayer, good wishes, and "bad" wishes as well. I believe in a gray area. In life, there is no light without shadow. There are no "true good" or "true evil". The gray area may not balance out one or the other side, but it is absolutely present in all beings. Some more than others. I believe in a soul. I believe in karmic energy. I believe the sum whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

These come to me in life simply by being the change I want to see in the world. A total acceptance that the only thing I can change is myself, my actions, my perspectives. Also, acceptance that I am flawed, and I will always be flawed, but that I can take action to minimize those flaws. I treat everyone without exception kindly, and politely. I trust in the power of myself, and the power of you as well. In every person resides a story, logic to their actions, and their own flaws as well.

Things I am not sure about but open to ... a skeptic waiting to become a believer on most, are: past lives/reincarnation (very interested here), auras, instant spiritual healing, other worldly gods, evil, the idea of collective unconscious ... and a whole myriad of things I am sure I am just not bringing to mind.

I would love to hear about what you believe, what your religion is if it has a name. Please share with me in comments your own beliefs, and what they mean to you, how they manifest in your life.
