WELCOME TO SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. FIRST, WE NEED TO GET TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU. TELL US YOUR NAME, NICKNAMES, AGE, JOB, ETC.
" oh, hi! i'm annabelle rae mckenzie. i like my name, yeah, i think it's pretty. people call me anna, bella, whatever you'd like, or they just call me annabelle.. i honestly don't mind what i'm called as long as it's not something like slut, haha. i personally prefer just being called annabvelle, or annie, not quite sure why. i'm not really sure why i was named annabelle, i guess my parents just thought it a pretty name, and i was named rae because apparently i was to be my parent's 'ray of sunshine' or something, cheesier haha. and mckenzie's just my dad's surname. he always jokes about how he wanted to call me kenzie soo i'd be kenzie mckenzie, but thankfully he didn't, hah. i like the name kenzie, but it's a bit overkill, don't you think? i'm really small, like, five foot one, so most people give me nicknames due to my height, hah, which yanno, i couldn't care about either way ... ummm anyway, i'm twenty. i am so nearly twenty one it's ridiculous, my birthday's in a few weeks c: that's why we're out here in australia - to celebrate my big birthday, haha. my birthday's august twenty seventh. i swear, i was sooo close to being moved down a year, i'm so thankful i was born early, heh. basically, i have a job back in america? i'm also in college there, but yanno, i'm here for the summer so i don't have to worry about any of that. my dad's pretty high up in his business so i can survive a summer without wages. "
NOW TELL US ABOUT YOUR LIKES, DISLIKES, AND JUST YOUR PERSONALITY IN GENERAL. WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU? BE DESCRIPTIVE SO WE CAN GET TO KNOW THE REAL YOU.
" ohhh, okay, if you want? generally, i am a really nice girl. i will do anything for you and i try my best at everything. i really do work hard and i've been told i'm really intelligent as well, which is why i got into my first choice college, i guess. my parents always wanted me to go onto doing great things - i mean, i don't just want to be somebody in the background, like, working at the supermarket or something. i want to change the world, for the better of course, or at least change somebody's life for the better. if i know i've made my impact in the world, then i'm happy! i love meeting new people. i'm not like, obnoxiously loud or anything, i don't cause scenes for the sake of it, and i'm not mean to others, unless they really piss me off. however, i can stand up for myself, and if you want to talk shit at me, i'll tell you where you can stick your insults. especially seeing as i'm like, just over five foot so people think they can bully me, which just isn't right. umm...i'm really not one for one night stands either. heh, i just prefer relationships? sleeping with people you don't even know is just weird. i mean, i'm not going to hate on you if you do it, i just personally would never do it if i could help it. same withy drugs, but hey, again, it's your own choice. is that a bad thing? oh well, haha. i'm seriously really nice though. well, at least, that's what people say. i try and get on everyone's good side, yanno? i hate people hating me, funnily enough, heh. i'm super optimistic as well. yanno, it's like, i always see the glass as half full, and stuff like that. i just like looking on the bright side, it's much easier that way. some people say i'm an idiot for thinking like that, but i just seems quite a lot of my friends are pessimists, haha. i'm really protective over the people i love, and i'll do anything for you. i seem to trust too easily and let in people that i really should've just stayed far away from, but i never seem to learn. basically, i'm a pretty nice girl if i do say so myself who maybe buries herself in her work just a little bit too much, but i swear that's only because i want to do good and make my family proud. i swear though, i practically live off coffee, some days i don't go to sleep at all because i'm too busy doing assignments and stuff so coffee is my best friend, heh. i just need people to tell me i'm doing okay, or else i'll lose confidence. likes and dislikes? well, um, i like a lot of things, namely warm summers, the occasional drink, my friends, loud music, succeeding, my family, america, pillow fights, a whole variety of music, my ex boyfriend who i'm not going to speak of at the moment, australian accents, dogs, weekends, sleeping heh, food in general, drawing/sketching, spending days at the beach, funfairs, making people smile, harry potter, most books in general, when people tell em they love me, nice big bear hugs, being given piggyback rides, when it's raining and i'm in bed inside, when people play with my hair, compliments, energy drinks like relentless and monsters, coffee, the piano, anyone who can play an instrument, long car journeys, travelling, going to new places, being flirted with, the smell of freshly cut grass, summer in general, festive holidays, bright colours, patriotism, making long lists, writing, twitter, children and toffee popcorn. i don't really dislike much, but i suppose i'll give you a rundown on them as well - falling over, horrible cold, rainy days when i have to walk home/ to college, not having much spare time due to the amount of work i have to do, ungrateful people, being insulted, people trying to pick fights with me, people who think they're better than me, powercuts, turbulence, spelling things wrong - i'm a grammar/spelling nerd, i'm an english major heh, when i can tell what's going to happen at the end of the book before i get to the end, overly cliché characters, fake people, discrimination, seeing elderly people eating alone, it depresses me so much, stuffing my face with food and then people looking at me in disgust as if they can't believe how many calories i've consumed, girls who wear so much foundation they look like tangerines, failing, feeling ill, when fights get out of hand, when people insult my favourite books, when people prefer to go see the movie than watch the book, said people who then claim the movie is better and feeling helpless. fears? well, don't tell anyone, but i'm terrified of he dark. it's a pretty irrational fear, i have no real reason to, but i always feel as if the darkness is going to swallow me right up, or there's someone hiding in the shadows, it's quite silly, hah. "
LET'S DIVE INTO YOUR HISTORY. NOTHING IS TOO PERSONAL. TELL US ABOUT WHERE YOU'RE FROM AND HOW YOU ENDED UP IN THE LAND DOWN UNDER.
" i am sure i could find something that is probably too personal? you make it sound like a challenge, heh. anyway, okay, let's start at the beginning, always a good place to start, right? i was born in america to wesley and mikayla mckenzie. they've been happily married for twenty years now, and they had me just a few weeks after they were married. to be honest, they'd only gotten married because my father had accidentally gotten my mother pregnant one night. but they fell in love quickly because they are both wonderful people and it's hard not to, and so i was born just after their rather hurried ceremony. my mother's side of the family disapproved of such a rushed marriage, and especially the reason behind it, so they really didn't have much to do with my family as i grew up, up until the age of about...thirteen maybe? i really can't remember, my memory isn't amazing. i was born in new york city, and i've lived there for nearly all of my life. i absolutely love it there. there's just so much going on all the time, it's so interesting, there's never a dull day in my hometown. i couldn't imagine ever moving away from there permanently...nearly everyone important to me is over there, my friends, my workmates, most of my family...anyway, sorry, i'm getting off track. my parents were pretty well funded so i was home schooled instead of going to elementary school. i wouldn't know whether it was a good choice or not because i was happy there. i socialised with other kids around my neighbourhood and although i did sometimes wish i was at school with all the other children, i got to stay with my mum all day, and my little baby brother as well, who was born when i was four. his name was robin markus mckenzie and he was just about the cutest thing i had ever seen in my life. i abused him really.. not in that way, jesus, hah, but i tended to cart him around wherever i went and make him play with me, and dress him up as well because he was too small to resist. i was quite a little girly girl when i was younger. i've pretty much fully grown out of that now, mostly. i don't really give two damns about how much makeup i have on, i don't really need it. maybe i put a bit on when i'm going out, but really, i'm not very girly anymore. anyway! getting sidetracked again, sorry.
going to middle school was pretty exciting, because my parents finally allowed me to go and socialise with other children at school, and i pretty much loved it. and now, here comes the interesting bit. when i was nearly fourteen, i met a boy called sebastian. i'd never really spoken to him, but i'd heard of him, and he came over to me and started talking shit and... well, i told him where i could take his insults, and as you do, it became the start of a beautiful friendship. it carried on that way until a couple of years later, when we started going out. i really did love him. i really did. he was so amazing to me. he was really sweet, and so romantic, and he treated me like i was the best thing he'd ever laid his eyes on. he wasn't a complete sap though thankfully, and i really did fall in love with him. it was so easy too, and his hair was the most gorgeous colour, i swear. he tried to get everyone to call him baz, but i always called him sebastian, because i really liked his name. and then he moved away. right before he left for australia, he told me that he loved me, and it just about broke my heart. but i had to carry on, right? so i carried on, graduated from high school, and i'm now a senior in college. i'm really excited to be graduating, to be honest. and of course, i'm turning twenty one soon so my parents and my brother decided to treat me to a holiday all summer in australia. they are all pretty incredible people and i love them to bits, and i'm having the time of my life here, so!"
you can call me charziee. i'm spinning fifteen tracks on my record and i hang out in the english? timezone. alrighty, don't hate at me just because i'm using victoria lott's face, she falls into the outsiders just in case you're looking for me, i also play paige marchant :]. did you hear about the word? bottom of the ocean is the word. k, let's do this.
