Introduction
A not-so-short introduction.
And there we go again. Who am I?
My actual name is Charlotte, but I’ve been using the nickname Chi on the internet since I was 12 years old or so. It’s grown on me, so I’ll just continue using it – and no – I don’t like Chobits. Never have either.
I’m 20 years old and Norwegian. Sometimes I desperately want to move to another place, like England, Australia, China, Japan, France or another exotic place. But then I usually remember the high wages, my dislike for too strong sun – I’m definitely a shadow person – and the pretty nature. Which makes me content. Temporarily.
I’m a perfectionist and have a lot of hobbies, mini-hobbies and interests since I get bored way too fast. I like drawing tattoo outcasts, photographing, sewing, collecting stuff, watching movies on a larger scale, listening to way too much loud music -purrpurr-, reading, blogging, writing short stories, travelling, nerding on my laptop(s) and enjoying fashion.
Actually, it’s almost amazing how many introductions I’ve written / filled in during my life. Along with internet came all the social networking sites – and I’m so damn addicted. I’m addicted to blogging and writing a journal too, but I usually don’t post them online. I’m quite peculiar about what I post, and prefer making rants to writing long descriptions of journeys and such.
As I’ve probably stated a million times before on a million different websites, I’m a creative, spontaneous and almost too curious person. I might be a bit obsessive from time to time, but I usually obsess over objects and cases – and luckily not people. I’ve always been told I’d make a terrific journalist if I ever decided to become one, but I unfortunately only do stories I find intriguing, on my own initiative.
I’m the kind of person who wears a t-shirt beneath a leather jacket in -15 degrees, but complains about it being way too cold on chill summer evenings. The type who’s thrilled every time the season changes. Changes are central in my life. Every time I feel I’ve made a development in personality, some kind of mental change both for better or worse, I buy a new notebook with a different colour / pattern than the last ones. I also change my pens and their colour, and buy my self a new bag, shoes or a new pair of jewellery. Needless to say, I have plenty of all those things. This also makes me quite high maintenance on my own behalf.
I have to mention I’m also quite a photography bug. I enjoy being both in front and behind the camera, and sometimes even on the side line with wardrobe and make up. I’ve always managed to appreciate myself being so versatile, even though my perfectionism beside it sometimes can make me completely overworked. In addition to that, I’m an art & computer geek. Also, but not necessarily combined.
Of personal goals I, this time, want to live and study photography/tailoring in London or study East Asia, with focus on China, in London or in Oslo, Norway’s capital. Let’s just say my goals are many – and they change fast – so I’m giving it two years of thinking while I work both for money and on all three of my portfolios (photography, modelling & tailoring – the last one I’m passionate for, but not good at). My very life goal is to travel the entire world, backpacking style, and then just be happy & content, and out of these two goals the ‘happy & content’ part is the very most difficult one. After all, I already mentioned I’m a perfectionist. And I need to be constantly entertained to be happy.
This blog is mostly created for me to rant and post links in. But let’s skip the rest of the rant now! I want to find friends and contacts. I used to be so good at finding friends online when I was 15, but now I only seem to be good at general networking.
