Who The Hell Are You…?

Herro!

I am Sammy, and no, I’m not down with green eggs and ham. Ham by itself, though, yes plz. I am 25, I live in a bachelor pad (read: shoebox) in Ontario with my cat Raiden. He’s rad.

I did an epic cross-Canada trip this spring and I’m hoping to get back out there and travel summore in the next year.I really just love to be alive- the energy of it, how it feels, how its in everything. Love the night-time because everything is peaceful, quiet, yet strangely wild and mysterious. Things revert to their primal selves in the night. Things are more real. More… raw.I love being a woman, every aspect of being feminine. It took me a long time to be comfortable with my emotions and being feminine. The world can taint you, made me tough so I wouldn’t get hurt. For a long time I thought women couldn’t be nerdy gamer types, tech-savvy or do things the same as men. I guess I was more of a tomboy growing up. I’ve moved past that and realized I can still be strong, nerdy & feminine. I’m 110% comfy with myself, my emotions and interests, as scattered as they may be. I strive to understand the people around me and grow as a person and I think that is important to leading a good life with quality people in it.I love to laugh, especially at myself. The genuine laughs that bubble up from deep within your belly and ripple out of your mouth uncontrollably, suck the air right out of your lungs and leave a deep, slow burn in its wake. The kind that leave me in a silent, shivering heap because I’m too weak to stand up.I am very much the type of woman to burst into spontaneous laughter about something that happened yesterday, or last year.I love adventure, whether it’s in the world or just my mind. I’m one of these people who spew out obscure references and nerdisms. I can come up with a song for any situation, and I tend to burst into song. I guess I spend too much time near computers and video games.Music, the love of my life. I love songs that whisper into my ear and speak to my soul. I don’t stick to one genre, I change and grow as a person on a momentary basis. I’m very amoeba-like in that I gather info from my environment and interpret it to suit me, filtering them out or adding them to my identity.

To me, being creative means being able to use a couple of methods of getting your idea out. I use writing most of the time just because I’m good at it, and that’s the way my brain receives things, but I also draw, sing, etc I just have a lot of respect for ART in itself.

I find beauty in anything, everything. I have a lot of faith. I believe in not needing the answers, trusting that things will work out and living in the moment, never looking back in anger. I live life playlist by playlist; slowly I’m coming into my own.

Everything happens for a reason and as long as I keep my heart open and project love into the world, I’ll be ok. Knock me down, I’ll always get back up. I’ve had adventures, loved and lost, conquered and picked up some lessons along the way. The important thing is that I use it to make me a better person.

I’m really good at… Anything I put my mind to or am passionate about. Cooking, reading, listening, loving, laughing, finding the good in any situation, going on adventures, procrastinating, dancing, finding beauty, makeup, hair, style, shopping, managing money, making people laugh, organizing stuff…

The first things that people usually notice about me are… My boundless amounts of static energy, my eyes, my laugh, my ridiculous sense of humor, my style, my tattoos, my hair. The fact that I count money in terms of Timmies coffees and tell the time by WoW maintenance days.

Favorite…

Books… Ohhh I grew up with my face in a book. To be honest with you, I was a huge loner/geek and most of my friends were imaginary as a kid. Yep. That being said, I love getting lost inside a story. Any story, really. Some fave authors: Kurt Vonnegut Jr, Asimov, Philip K Dick, Frank Herbert, James Patterson, Stephen King, Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”….. Is it weird that I sometimes confuse stories and dreams I’ve read/had with actual memories from my life??

Movies… I loooove movies. Again, I love a good story. Good cinematics. Special FX. CGI. I will watch pretty much anything once. I like to vegetate. I grew up in a small town having movie marathons (when I got older, more friends and reading in company is apparently “bad manners”… pffft) Some faves: Boondock Saints, 300, Sin City, Dogma, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Usual Suspects, Lucky Number Slevin, Zoolander, Happy Gilmour, anything Monty Python, Scary Movie, American Pie, Fool’s Gold, Cruel Intentions, Aladdin…

Music… I have been blessed with a father who has very eclectic, varied tastes. I grew up listening to everything from Kraftwerk to Sabbath to The Supremes and back to Rick Astley. Honestly, I get compliments on my tastes/knowledge a lot, by people in the music business and the like. I will astound you.

Food… I LOVE to cook. Growing up I was a bit “anti-domestication” and now I love doing all those things. I can make cheesecake in my slowcooker. I make the best damn homemade soups and stews known to man. And don’t even get me started on my roasts. If you like to eat, you will like my kitchen

I spend a lot of time thinking about… innuendos.
