I'm Laura! I'm from a suburban college town in PA, 17 and an artist. I also volunteer in my spare time and have become quite the activist in my school and community (I'm planning to take over my school's non-existent GSA, mwahahaha. I've also been protesting budget cuts and corruption within the district.)
Lately, I've been on a quest to show people who I really am underneath my doormat facade: brutally honest and not afraid to stand up for myself. It's been getting me into a little bit of trouble, but who really cares? Being yourself is the best thing anyone can do for themselves.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Ashley Bee on June 12, 2010 at 4:56pm: Hi everyone! i'm not new around here but i'm a shy lady at first, haha once u get to know me i sparkle HARD. aha :) i love meeting new people who i can connect w/ on a deeper level. My name is Ashley, but most people (all my family & boyfriend) call m ADDY. because i guess when i was a wee one, i couldnt pronouce Ashley and it's been Addy ever since.
I've graduated from Sheridan Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning - located in my town, Oakville, Ontario, Canada. I graduated from Cosmetics techniques & management in april 09. Special FX makeup was so fun :) I'm still looking for the perfect job, but i'm thinking of getting into social service work (or animal care) because i really want to help people/animals, though i'd still love to do makeup on the side. I'm also interested in tattooing. Its my own form of art and i guess i believe everything is art in its own way :)
I love lady gaga, shes my mother monster and i'll forever be her little monster. Ha! i even have the tattoos to prove it. my body is a canvas, the floor is a canvas, the walls are a canvas, the internet is a social canvas (which needs to be explored more), everything is made for performing.
I have alter-egos (or different personalities). Well my number 1 "alter-ego" is Johnny. He's a nice 28yrold, turning 29 on Oct.15 :) I could do a whole new intro just for johnny haha, theres THAT much to say about him!
I was born and raised in a small town, so when i moved to ontario when i was 10, i felt out of place. and thats why i love cheektopia and all you wonderfully understanding, sparkly people :)
I like painting, drawing, writing, singing, dancing, performance art and anything artistic and creative.
I'm a very sweet person, although it doesnt always come off that way heh :) but once u get to know me i'm a loyal person and i always stand up for what i believe in and i miss all my friends who went away to university.
I live with my parents, oh, and i'm 21. Still trying to figure out what i really want to do.
I really have to applaude (wow did i even spell that right?) Cheeks for his "new-age-internet-bringing-people together" thing. My sparkle comes from within, but without Cheeks i doubt i would even know what "sparkle" is. He's taught me a lot about myself and i only want to give back!
sometimes i ramble (as u can see!). sometimes i talk to much, and if u get to know me, i will always have interesting stories of love, loss, and the sparkle that i have found :) hehe
I can't really think of much more to say about myself but you can always ask me questions on formspring.
haha i'm famous in my own mind. and i love you peeps :) Can't wait to get to know more of you!
