Halley Alexa
Introduction
My name is Halley. My middle name is Alexa, but I like to keep that a secret for the adventurous souls who want to take a guess at it. I have always—like anyone—found it difficult to encompass myself in a few short sentences, but—like anyone—I find it exhilarating to try. I appreciate puns. I appreciate people who appreciate puns even more though, because people are always better than anything that one sees on this earth. Tight schedules put me on edge. I enjoy hotels. It unsettles me that people seem to think I know what I want to do when I graduate. I think "unsettle" is a good word. I have a scar on my nose that someone once thought was a piece of spaghetti. Rain is my breath. I need it; I need the sound of thousands of droplets splashing to the ground, and the smell of a storm on the wind. Falling asleep to thunderstorms fills me. Rain is like oxygen, in that when you hold your breath—or climb to a place thin of air—it is always when you take a deep breath that you realize just what you were missing; just what kept you going. I avoid conflict with every part of me, and I try to make people happy. I'll be honest, I am no good at it, but I try. A pen flowing across paper and a head full of thought together is one of my favorite combinations of anything ever. I enjoy fruit smoothies, and people think I am strange for eating french fries with my milkshakes. But I don't mind, because weirdness is something I value. I write best when I am sleep-deprived. Words mean a lot more to me when they're written. I hate dropping my toothbrush into the sink, and I wash my hair with baking soda. I like late night car rides and mellow music and an expanse of stars in the darkness. But what I really love is a place I've never been. I sometimes try to be cool, but really coolness is just what people genuinely are. I get chills every time I hear a flute. I say "I" too much and I'm bad at being generous, but I do not find it difficult to see things from the perspective of others, which allows me to listen well. I am a night owl. People often think I am at least two years older than I am. I am wretched at encouraging and giving advice about specific situations, but I can easily see beauty in people and draw it out to make them aware of their value. I have slight OCD tendencies. If I could, I would wear jeans all year round. I want to see the ocean again. I have eyes that look like chocolate, but honey when I look into the sun. Every time I take any sort of personality test, the results are uncannily even. Maybe I'm really levelheaded with every emotion. Or maybe I'm just that average. I can't sleep without a blanket over me. I can't sleep with socks on. I enjoy strawberries and fresh pineapple considerably more than any other fruit. I bruise easily and I over-analyze things. I'm a city girl, but the countryside is what I was made for. I don't enjoy mainstream music, and perversion frustrates me. Accents (particularly those of the UK) are one of my favorite things. I love to watch water fall through air, and the smell of my family's laundry detergent refreshes me. I have dreadfully sensitive eyes, so I don't just cry when others cry; my eyes well up when people talk about eyes watering—much like a yawn—or about eyes drying up, or anytime someone's eye is red or they blow their nose. People always suspect me in the game of Mafia because I am the quiet one. I don't enjoy Mafia or anything that is fend-for-yourself competitive. I make notes on my inner wrist to remind myself of things I've learned. I admire honest people. I have always wanted to ride a train. When I get going, I write too much. I think this large description makes up for the small photo.
I am nothing and Jesus is all.
