My name is Vanessa, I'm 18 years old and I'm graduating from the 4th year of high school. I have grey eyes and pale skin. My natural hair color is dark brown but I have dyed them ombre black to grey.

Generally, I wouldn't categorize me as a pretty girl (I might be just another stone-cold, forgettable teen) because I've never been kissed or done anything with a boy, If you know what I'm talking about. I don't know if guys get discouraged because of my odd, emo style, or if it's because of my personality and my aloof attitude, but if one thing's for certain, it's that it doesn't make things better at any case. On the contrary.

Technically, I'm an only child. I'd have a younger sister, named Danae, but she died during pregnancy. Consequently, as usually happens on a case-by-case basis, my parents divorced when I was 13 and I moved to America with my mother, something that changed my life radically.

Because, even though in Greece I had a number of friends and I was way more sociable (even though I am socially awkward), here I have almost no friends, despite the fact that I have been living here for almost five years. My only friends are Katelin, a red-haired curvaceous girl, and Denisa, a dark-skinned girl with pitch black hair, who is also an emigrant. I have –fortunately- kept in touch with Andie, my ex-best friend from Greece. I have obviously accepted the fact that we are not besties anymore and that she hangs out with other people, but just us talking is more than enough for me.

I don't usually leave the house. My mother works in a Veterinary Clinic and the only time I see her is late at night, so I'm home alone most of the time. I prefer staying at home and watching TV series (lately I've been stuck watching The Vampire Diaries) or listening to music at full blast and being myself, than hanging out with my –not that many- friends and being exposed and critiqued. But I have to abate if I want them to keep associating with me.

What has saved my life and gives me the courage to continue is music. It makes me feel better when everything is wrong, and without it I wouldn't be the person I am today. Ideas, opinions, even –to my mother's disappointment- my personal style, my favorite bands and band members have left their mark on everything. I'm mainly listening to rock, grunge, punk, hardcore and stuff like that.

I came to talk about me once again. I guess I have to stop, that's enough for now.
