[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: #EEEEEE, border: #59b1ba 5px solid; width: 400px; height: 500px;] hey there. the name's violet ann griffith! i go by vi if you were wondering. also i'll have you know that i am twenty & loving it. oh. you've heard that I'm straight? & that I'm from charleston? well the rumors are true for once. well I gotta get going, school is calling. see ya'! bee tee dubs, i'm a student. history, "Ah, crap. I hate trying to explain my whole life story. I always tend to jump around and get out of order and confuse everyone. Oh well, here goes nothing. Just don't expect some fabulously told tale. I guess i'll start with my parents meeting. It was actually really cute in my opinion. Mom was nineteen, dad was twenty-one. She came from a wealthy, sort of uppity family that had her entire life planned out for her down to the tee. Dad on the other had came from a lower middle class family. At the time he worked to crappy jobs to make enough money so that he could go to this small art school in Charleston. But one of his crappy jobs is the reason they met. So my mom's parents were throwing some party for an irrelevant reason. My dad was employed by this catering company that came with servers. So he was sent out to work the party in his dumb, little server uniform. Throughout the course of the night my parents crossed paths several times. My dad flirted with my mom, and she flirted back. After a few hours of the dull gathering, my dad convinced her to sneak out with him (which later led to his being fired from the job). After that night, they started sneaking around and seeing each other regularly. My mom's parents tried to stop them because my dad wasn't part of the "plan". Eventually everything sort of came to this screeching halt. My mom became pregnant out of wedlock with my older brother, Charlie. When her parent's found out they pretty much disowned her for "disgracing" the family name. So my parent's moved in together and had my brother. Not long after he was born they were married. They had this really wonderful relationships. Everyone I know always tells me how in love they were . So about a year and half later my mom got pregnant again, this time with me. Nine months later, i popped out. Good ol' Violet Griffith. I remember living in this sort of run down apartment for the first five years of my life. We really didn't mind it though. I mean sure we were in close quarters, but my parents filled it with music and art and all kind of cool things. Truth be told, i'd take that flat over any mansion any day. After that my dad got a pretty good job at an art gallery so we could afford to get a house out in the suburbs of Charleston. My childhood r was really normal. I only really grew up with one set of grandparents because my other ones refused to believe our family existed. That sucked, but I wasn't all torn up about it. Can't miss what you don't have, right? I've always been really good at school. I excelled in things like english and art and history. Math and science weren't really my strong points, but I wasn't horrible at them either. My elementary years were just really standard and boring so i'll skip to middle school. Middle school was a big time for changing in my life. It's the time where i figured out I loved art as much as my dad. I dabbled in a little bit of everything, but after a few months I realized sketching, painting, and a little bit of photography were definitely my thing. I sort of started to come out of my shell to. My brother always had a strong personality that I hid behind, but I grew from that. I guess my most significant thing that happened during those years was uh, my mom passing on. I don't really like to talk about it much, but she was in a car accident. Hit by a drunk driver. I was in 8th grade. Uh yeah, so I don't drink. It was a hard time for my family. My dad had a hard time handling my brother because he started to go off on the deep end about everything. I took my mom's place and did things like making dinner and cleaning up the house. Things settled back down over the course of high school for the most part. I honed my skills in painting, sketching, and photography more. I had my first boyfriend during my junior year. He was nice and all, but it didn't work out. He was my first kiss. We didn't do anything else though cause well, we weren't in love. Yeah, I believe in love and all that. How could I not after seeing my parents? Senior year I applied to a few colleges around, but I had my heart set on one in Connecticut. I was scared to leave my dad and brother, but they convinced me they were fine and I needed to go for myself. I guess I'm just really protective over them. I still call them every night to see how life is, although it doesn't change much on a day to day basis I don't like going a day without hearing them. Since moving out and being on my own, I've grown a great deal. Not height wise or anything, just with my world knowledge and personality. I'm currently a Junior in college and studying art (I know what a shocker). I'm just letting the river take me where it may at this point. I definitely love Connecticut. I've got a cool place, great friends, and made some lovely art here. I wouldn't change it for the world. personality, "Well as you know I used to be deathly shy. As in I hardly talked when I didn't have to. Honestly, I can't remember why. I was scared of people I suppose. Funny, people really aren't a thing to be scared of to me now. So I grew out of that awkward little phase after awhile and started to make friends and develop more relationships with the people around me. I'm actually really friendly now. Sometimes too friendly, I hear. I strike up conversations with anyone and everyone which isn't always a great idea. I just like to talk to people. Get the life story, you know? I mean life is to short not to meet all kinds of people. I'm a really good listener. I like people to tell me there problems more than me telling mine to them. I guess I'm a little closed off in that way. Of course, my closest friends now things about me, but I don't go and broadcast it to just anyone. I'm always the mom of the friend group. I like to make dinner for all my friends, and I give them those "you can do better" speeches. Hell, I've even held hair back when one of them had too much to drink. I try not to be all that preachy if they do something I don't agree with unless it's going to seriously hurt them or something. I'm introverted and extroverted, I suppose. I love being around people, but sometimes I need alone time you know. I like to make my friend's laugh so I tend to do really weird things like interpretive dances at random. I don't know. I don't really care to fit into any certain group of people. I like dyeing my hair random colors. People always think it's for attention or something, but i mean generally i see a color and think well, i like that why shouldn't I make that my hair color? I'm not much of a partier. I mean I don't drink or do drugs, and the club is not really a place I like to go. I'd rather be at a friend's house party just chilling I suppose. Staying in with a book isn't that bad either. I'm one of those hopeless romantics. I know, hilarious right? I've never had a serious relationship or been in love yet so maybe I'm just not jaded enough by the world. But yeah, I think one day i'll meet someone great and all that jazz. I don't plan on sleeping with someone until I legitimately have intense feelings for them, so that would make me a virgin. Yeah, laugh it up. I'm not terribly religious. I mean I believe in God, but I don't go to church regularly or anything. I just really like the idea of accepting everyone and being a good person, you know? appearance, See, So let's start from the top, my hair. It's been a multitude of colors. Blues, greens, yellows, pinks, you name it. Right now it's the standard white-ish silver that I tend to always go back to. I'm kind of short and built small. I think i'm five foot two. I've got brown eyes, which I used to think were boring, but now I like them. I've always thought my nose was a little weird, but I mean can't change that. Technically, I could but I'm not into that. Style wise, I like to go thrifting. I blow so much money on shopping it isn't even funny. I like floral prints and just vintage type things. For the most part, I have a girly sort of style. I draw inspiration from Alice in Wonderland and Daisy Buchanan. I've got a few scars from random childhood accidents over the years. the roleplayer, Op, sup. I'm Kelsey aaaand I'm eighteen. Falala it's almost Christmas, and I'm super excited. Um, I love brand new, say anything, manchester orchestra, eisley, all time low, and a ton of other bands. Right now I have one character, and it'll probably be that way for a bit. c: I lub you.
