Hey. My name’s Azalea. I'm a 19 year old emo-nerd girl in college.

I draw. I do video stuff. I write. I photograph. I imagine.

I don’t drink/smoke/do drugs or have promiscuous sex, so I guess that makes me a straight edge. I don’t eat meat except for fish (I intend on going vegan one day when my budget allows). I have depression, anxiety, and I have Bipolar Disorder Type II (all diagnosed). 

I first became interested in "emo culture" in my early to mid highschool years, but I was really just an oblivious scene kid overly obsessed with Black Veil Brides until I discovered a blog called Sophie's Floorboard. My tastes are a lot more nuanced and perhaps a little underappreciated compared to those in my town, even the so called "alternative kids." I definitely don't hate people who are more on the "mainstreamish" side of the alternative music scene culture, and a lot of the stuff tends to be very enjoyable and listenable. I've just moved on from a lot of it.

I'm in a relationship, so sorry people wanting to flirt. I'm taking by a beautiful lady who I'm madly in love with. Unless you're Conor Oberst, you can't sweep me off my feet that easy.

I'm into a lot of liberal and progressive politics, activism for civil rights/social justice, animal rights activism, feminism, non extreme forms and influences of democratic socialism, and other things that scare people at first glance. I'm not a scary person though, and not a "communist," as some fear-mongering people still living in the Red Scare would have you believe. I'm very friendly and I don't ever try to impose or impede on others. I also resent the implication of being a "social justice warrior," when I am obviously a Bard.

I’m an Inclusivist Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ as my savior and my way to Heaven, and strongly believe in his words from Mark 9:40: "For whoever is not against us is for us." If my personal faith bothers or intimidates you, I sincerely apologize and hope you know I still love you regardless, whether an Atheist, Agnostic, Jew, Muslim, Neo-Pagan, Hare Krishna, Wiccan, Hindu, Exclusionist Christian, LaVeyan Satanist, Luciferian, Buddhist, Taoist, Zoroastrian, etc. I'm used to unrequited love.

One of my personal heroes is C.S. Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia. I live by this quote of his.

“When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

My favorite music is punk. I’m fond of emo, screamo, post-hardcore, metalcore, pop punk, and indie rock. Enjoy the obligatory sizable list of musicians in no particular order of favoritism.

I tend to really enjoy music of lo-fi quality, bands with relatively small fanbases (they tend to be more... real than the trendy bands), and bands that aren't signed to major labels. I certainly don't HATE big bands, I just love small bands a lot more.

Favourite Films & TV

I like some TV shows too. These are eithers ones I frequently watch/rewatch or hold a special place in my heart.

I watch anime too. These are also ones I either frequently watch or have a special place in my heart.

I watch a good amount of YouTube. These are the channels I frequent.

Less we forget movies. My favorites are as follows.

Favourite Books

These are the books I've enjoyed. When I was younger, I used to read a whole lot of fiction, but I've found less time to do so. I definitely intend to get back into the swing of that soon.

I've graduated from high school with honors. I hated every year of public school.

I'm a currently unemployed college student, currently applying for work at an under construction local library.
