Wow how did I never see this thread?
[sweats nervously] Uhm. Well. Yes. I should. Probably. Be formal for once.
Ahah... Uh. My name is Nikki, or Nicola. I prefer Nikki, though. I'm 21, but will be 22 next month. I live in New Jersey, and am half Italian but mostly white girl who doesn't pump her own gas. I have three cats; Candy, Nala, and Ace. My dream is to become a crazy cat lady. My real dream is to find a mate who fits me just right and settle down with animal children since I detest human children.
Currently, I'm one class away from getting my Associate's degree; I've had to take a hiatus from school because of not only severe depression and other mental problems, but also physical illness in the past four years. (Had my gallbladder removed, and complications from a liver biopsy prior to that.) Once I finish I'll be transferring to a four year college to... Maybe get a degree in sociology? I dunno.
I'm horribly cynical, I can snap easily, and I can come off as mean. I also tend to guard dog those that are close to me, even when it's not my place, and if I get really angry I can tend to try to rip peoples' figurative throats out over whatever situation it is.
Usually, though, I try to be a big fluffy puppydog. I try to help out when I can, I'm always willing to listen to people, and I'm actually very passive and have no backbone. I also talk too much and give information no one cares about.
But, regardless of how mean I seem sometimes, it's really only if something or someone annoys me or bothers one of my friends.
I'm an artist, a gamer, a writer, and a furry. (No, I do not own a fursuit and I've never actually been to a furry convention. Though I'd like to go to one sometime.) All of my 'talents' are mediocre at best, and I'm not going to really get anywhere in life on my own. Still though, I enjoy my hobbies when my apathy isn't too bad. I try to play a lot of MMO's, but generally drop most of them and go back to WoW in the end. Other than that I mostly play handheld and PC games nowadays, but I do have tons of older console games.
(should probably mention that a lot of the negative things I say are the severe depression talking) So right now what I'm doing with my time is going to intensive outpatient therapy, though... It's almost over. And when it is, I have to start working on going back to school again and trying to get a job. Ahah.
I'm a child at heart, and I'm a fandom kinda gal. I love Disney and Pixar and Dreamworks, and prefer animated movies over live action, usually. I actually mostly prefer fantasy over reality. The older I get, the more I sink myself into fantasy to avoid reality. My current top fandoms right now are Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Batman, Pokemon, and of course Animal Crossing. I usually go on Tumblr for most of the day but unfortunately my apathy ate away at that too so I just kind of haven't been lately. I have lots of OCs that I love to death, and I roleplay with Fawful on a near-daily basis because it's one of my favorite things in the world to do.
Hmm, I think I'm rambling. So essentially, I have Peter Pan syndrome, my bark is worse than my bite, in reality I'm a scared little puppydog who can't handle growing up, I like fantasy more than reality, I have a lot of passion but also a lot of hatred, I would love to switch ages with any 18 year olds around here and stop time so I can just be 18 forever lol, I talk too much, I divulge too much, don't know when to quit a lot of the time, and I'm not very good at taking compliments. I'm pretty sure this introduction is like 3 months too late and also very unorganized I apologize oh god
secret bonus info: i'm a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, which is why i seem constantly rowdy haha
