___ we are dollish (original) (raw)
Hi, fellow dollish girls! :D I'm new here, so I figure I'd introduce myself in hopes of making new friends (in a variety of places: here on livejournal, myspace, deviantART, anywhere!).
A bit about me --
name: kayla
age: nineteen and a half!
location: oakland, california
sexuality: what my best friend would call a "breeder." haha.
tattoos/piercings: two piercings (ears & belly button, used to have my nose and lip done) and four tattoos (a star on my left ankle, an infinity symbol on my right wrist, a heart wrapped in a question mark by my left hip bone, and my latest pride and joy, the ugly organ on my back!
favorite...
movies: anything obscure and dreamy, or drastically driven by intense characterization. i do a lot of writing and my strong suit is developing intense characters (or so i'm told), so I enjoy anything that has really beautiful and complex characters/relationships. i love french new wave cinema, silent films, b-horror, the more "indie" stuff. my favorite film of all time is Jesus' Son, based on a short story collection by denis johnson. if you're familiar, i'll love you forever. and yeah, i love the occasional feel-good movies and cheesy romantic comedies. i'm such a girl.
bands: again, all over the place! anything from dreamy shoegaze (cocteau twins, the radio dept., the autumns, robin guthrie, the darling buds, and so on) to wonderfully happy indie-pop (tilly and the wall [!!!], i'm from barcelona, the boy least likely to) to alt-country (neko case, the court and spark) and everywhere in between. have a soft spot for the 80s as well - the smiths, the cure, joy division, and fun synth-pop stuff in the vein of new order and electronic. oh, and i've also founded my own religion: cave-ism. dedicated to the glory of he who is nick cave (along with his bad seeds!).
tv shows: i'll admit it, i'm a grey's anatomy junkie. mcdreamy 4 life. and heroes, god damnit, primetime romantic drama gets me every time. i love jeopardy and the daily show/colbert report hour, as well!
books: oiiii, so, so much! i love poetry, dark existentialist stuff, philosophy, and miss francesca lia block [she gets a category all her own!]. i am never, ever without a book and notebook. i'm an avid reader and writer!
& lastly...
what makes you dollish? i guess it has a lot to do with my look and mannerisms. i'm hideously petite [ex-ballerina] and painfully shy, but i delight in fun, pretty, happy things. i love (and make) dangly earrings, flowy skirts, cute shoes and hats. i always make my eyes stand out because they're huge and blue, and pink/red lips are awesome. i tend to squeal and cower and blink blankly a lot. i dance and i sing and i act and i write and i love and love and love, and ... well, that's me in a nutshell, i suppose!
Comments and new friends are always welcome!!
