The name is always the first question isn't it? Well anyways my name's Marissa Padilla. I guess I like it. I mean, it's not really unique but atleast it's something. My mom said she chose Marissa for my name because it apparently means "Of The Sea" and she always thought the sea was beautiful and mysterious in some way. So...she named me Marissa. Well now that I explain it that way I guess it really is kind of unique.
Actually I do have a nickname. It's a bit odd, you would think that with my name I wouldn't have one. But I do. It's Rissa. Well obviously really. I would feel awkward if someone called me Mar. So there ya have it. My nickname is Rissa.
Since you asked, I'm eighteen. Not seventeen, not nineteen. Eighteen. I was brought into the world on April 10th at 3:14 AM. I'm pretty sure you don't need all the details....Well I'm just not saying because I actually don't know the details!
Oh you didn't know? Oh well, I'm a guy.....Please tell me you didn't believe that. If you did I'm insulted and you are either gullible or need to go to and eye doctor. So to clear things up, I'm a total female. I was born that way and I'm going to stay that way.
Well, last time I checked, I was straight. Unless I'm pansexual. I honestly have no idea what pansexual even means. Does it mean that you love pans? I love cooking food on pans if that counts...If that isn't what pansexual means then I'm straight.
Well let's see. I guess we will start with my skin. You know the color of caramel? Well imagine a color just a little bit lighter than that and that is my skin color. My hair is a darker shade of brown and has little highlights of blonde here and there, and it reaches just above the middle of my torso. To match my hair I have a set of dark brown eyes with flecks of gold in them. I have clear skin and my lips are full and a pale pink. I guess you could say I'm small. I am 5 feet 5 inches and I weigh about 110 pounds. It's getting colder outside so you can find me wearing jeans, a long sleave shirt, a hoodie, my black vans, and a beanie. Yea I get cold easily. It's not fun at all.

Actually, I have exactly one tattoo and one piercing...well it's actually two but I'll explain that in a second. So, my tattoo is on my right shoulder and it says "Angie" in purple cursive letters with a blur halo over it. Once again I will explain the tattoo soon. Anyways. My piercings, I have snakebites. In case you don't know what those are it is when they pierce both side of your bottom lips. Yea that's what I have.

In all honestly, I'm kind of a loner. I don't talk much to really anyone and I like being alone. But I don't like when it's quiet. I have to be listening to music or something. In the words of Pink...The quiet scares me because it screams the truth. Anyway...I can also be understanding. If I know you then. Will help you in any way possible. I don't like seeing people suffer. I was in that place once. Heck, I still am. It's not a fun place to be. Well that's it. I don't like being around people but I will help them. I don't talk much but I need to hear noise. I'm your average loner.

I guess you could say that most of my life I have suffered. I've suffered from anxiety, dyslexia, claustrophobia, the lot. It all really started when I was eight I guess. That was when we found out I had dyslexia. It was so hard for me to learn I had emotional breakdowns..at eight. That really shouldn't be happening when I was that young. Then at eleven I started having anxiety and panic attacks every single day. I hated it. I was lliterally living in hell. I started getting scared of little things. Then to top it off, my little sister, Angie, who was two years younger than me died of leukemia. It was a hard time for my whole family. I know I shouldn't say this but I'm pretty sure I took it the hardest. Not only was she my sister but she was my best friend. I went to her for almost everything. You would think that she was actually the older sister. I'm still suffering to this day. I don't think it will ever stop.

I'm really not the type of girl to fall in love. Sure I've had a crush or two but I never really thought of dating anyone. It's just too much to handle for me. Besides, in the end all that happens is that someone gets hurt. I don't want to take my chances in something like that.
