Breakup. My own apartment. No internet... I'll have to leave it at that for now.

044; About Me

ragingquietly — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 23:08:31 GMT

Friending: You are more than welcome to friend me if you like, but keep in mind that most of my entries are friends only. If you would like me to friend you back, please let me know with either a comment or message that you would like me to do so because I will not do so otherwise. I will friend almost anyone who asks as long as you are not immature and I don't know you in real life.

The Basic Information: I go by Daniell and Ayla. (See below for explanation.) I am a 27 year old female who was born in Hawaii but currently resides in Sin City (Las Vegas, NV). I live in a condo on the Las Vegas strip (between Circus Circus and the Vacation Hilton) with my boyfriend who is ten years older than me. After breaking up with my boyfriend, I moved into a cozy, little two bedroom apartment. I live in a condo at City Center with my boyfriend. I have two cats that live with my parents. I have two brothers, one older and one younger. Anything else you care to know... see here.

What I Post About: I usually write about what's going on in my life at the moment, but leave out the monotonous, typical day to day posts. On occasion I'll post poetry I've written. I don't post too many fandom related things, but I will from time to time. Once in a while I'll do a meme. I try to post pictures to keep things interesting. And whatever else I feel like writing about.

Personality Traits: Passionate. Reticent. Perfectionist. Organized. Creative. Inexorable. Sarcastic. Loyal. Tenacious. Emotional. Patient. Quiet. Altruistic. Driven. Determined. Persistent. Introverted. Stubborn.

Music: My music taste is eclectic. I love it ALL! Some of my favorites include... Chris Young. Adele. Damien Rice. Ingram Hill. Dean Martin. Garth Brooks. Lifehouse. Dustin Kensrue. Johnny Cash. Kings of Leon. Ayla. Billy Joel. Josh Groban. Justin Timberlake. Anna Nalick. Jerrod Niemann. Miranda Lambert... Just to mention a few. See my collection of music here.

Books: Anne of Green Gables. Harry Potter. The Chronicles of Narnia. Lord of the Rings. Dean & Me: A Love Story. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide. Jane Eyre. Pride and Prejudice. Invisible Monsters. The Thorn Birds. The Hobbit. Stranger in a Strange Land.

Television Shows: Supernatural. Doctor Who. Gilmore Girls. Dead Like Me. Veronica Mars. The OC. Dawson's Creek. Prison Break. Lost. Friday Night Lights. House MD. The Office. Torchwood. Smallville. Friends. American Greed. Locked Up Abroad.

Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean. Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter. Pride and Prejudice. Transformers. Iron Man. Dirty Dancing. PS I Love You. Anne of Green Gables. Edward Scissorhands. Terminator Salvation. The Time Traveler's Wife. 300. A Walk To Remember. Sweeney Todd. Grindhouse: Planet Terror. Walk The Line. The Chronicles of Narnia. Cold Mountain. Pearl Harbor. Titanic. The Number 23. Little Women. American Gangster. The Mummy...

Actors: Jensen Ackles. Johnny Depp. Sam Worthington. Wentworth Miller. David Tennant. Denzel Washington. Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Taylor Kitsch. Will Smith. Gerard Butler. Christian Bale.

Actresses: Rachel Bilson. Alexis Bledel. Sarah Shahi. Billie Piper. Zooey Deschanel. Emma Watson. Keira Knighley. Sophia Bush. Kate Beckinsale. Scarlett Johansson. Rachel McAdams. Zang Zi-Yi.

Interesting Facts: 1. On my birth certificate under first name is Daniell Ayla. My family and friends of the family call me Ayla. Almost everyone else calls me Daniell. Why it is spelled Daniell and not Danielle is a story for another time. 2. I am many different nationalities... Japanese. Chinese. Hawaiian. Spanish. Irish. French. American. The only one people ever guess is Spanish.

Random Facts:
I love, love, LOVE sushi!
I could be considered an alcoholic.
I want to travel just to try new foods.
I want to have a library in my home one day.
I was born on Oahu and I lived there until I was 12.
I could not live without music. It is a significant part of my life.
An ex-boyfriend got me addicted to WoW. (I'm not currently playing.)
I LOVE coffee! I've been drinking it since I was two.
I write poetry, but I never share it with anyone.
I like animals more than I like people.

And that's me, in case you were curious. I know I always like to see what the person behind the journal looks like.
