I am...

I am a 25 year old psychology major. I work part time and go to school full time in order to support myself. I am responsible for my own life. My parents do not support me financially in any way. I live with my boyfriend of over 3 years and we help each other "get by". The threat of homelessness is real to us. I hope to transfer to a university one day and to become a counselor for high school students that have behavioral problems. In my spare time I enjoy listening to music, spending time with friends, and arguing with people on the internet. The arguments (or "discussions") that I have with people online (and offline) usually have to do with music and sexism. My favorite kind of music is gothic rock and deathrock. I also like some punk rock and some neofolk, and a plethora of bands that I don't care to attempt to categorize. I never lie to anyone besides my boss or the police and my sense of humor does not reflect my true beliefs. I like to make jokes about whatever I find the most deplorable. This is how I cope with social injustice and other brands of atrocity. This behavior frightens away the kind of overly politically correct and sensitive type of personality that I try to avoid. Essentially, I am testing people to see whether or not we can be around each other. Many of my friends would describe me as having a "strong" personality. I'm not really sure if they mean this in a negative or a positive way but I'm not very concerned about it. I'm mainly concerned with my own opinion of myself. Some people mistake this as conceit on my part but I think that people confuse arrogance with self confidence, perhaps due to their own jealousy or insecurities.
