As I am reminded whenever I do an intro, I have a plethora of names. That is to say, way too many. My real name is Haley, but here I go by Purple, though the name I generally tie to writing or artwork, my pen name you could say, is Pelly or Pelly Jay. Purple is by far the most official nickname I have since some even use it in real life, but honestly I will respond to just about anything as long as I have some way of knowing you're talking about me.
First and foremost I am a Christ Follower. I won't say Christian because that tends to have a bad connotation, but basically I love Jesus, and I do my best to love everyone around me like the brothers and sisters that they are. I'm also human, so I mess up. A lot. I'll never be perfect, and I'll never pretend to be, so I ask that you never expect me to be. If there's anything I hate it's when people are judgmental, narrow-minded, and hypocritical. If I'm doing something you think is wrong or bad feel free to NICELY call me out on it. I can handle criticism, but like every other human on the planet, I don't like it when people just start hating on me.
I'm also a writer and an amateur photographer. I do draw some too but right now photos are my thing, and I also love any kind of design or layout work (like the skin/layout of this site, for example). You can see some of my art here, and most of my writing you will see on this site. I love to write just about anything from poetry to news articles. Stories (the long multi-chaptered kind) have been my thing for a long time, but I'm trying to do more short stories and poetry now since I tend to never finish the longer pieces. I don't roleplay (though I used to), so I won't be using that part of the site, but I love writing collaborative pieces, so if you want to work on something with me please let me know. I'll also take requests for writing, though that comes with a disclaimer. If you request a piece, it is just that, a request. I may do it. I may not. Sometimes my muse just goes missing, and without muse I can't write worth a crap, so you have to be patient with me. Feel free to remind me nicely in case I forget, but annoying me to death won't get you anywhere.
Anyway, as you can see by my pretty little red stars, I am an admin of this site, which honestly doesn't mean all that much. If you have any questions about the site, especially the layout or design, I would be the one to ask. If I ask you to do something like change a post or your icon or signature, you can tell me your reasons for having it that way, and I may reconsider. But if I listen to you and then give my own argument and still tell you to change whatever it is, please just do it. I don't want to be a bitch, and I won't be unless you repeatedly ignore the rules or straight up refuse to do something. I am never mean or unfair. Strict on occasion, but never just plain mean.
So what do I like? You don't care? Too bad. I like music, anything but rap really, though Rise Against, Shinedown, and the All American Rejects are some of my favorite bands. I lean more towards hard rock and metal, though religious music is always good and country is good too when I'm in the mood for it. More than anything I like variety. I can't sit there and listen to the same sort of thing for a long time, which is why my iTunes playlist is eternally set on shuffle. I also like writing (duh), reading (another duh), Harry Potter (mostly the world, not the character), going to my youth group, ducks, racoons, knives, chocolate, roses....you get it. There are very few things I don't like, and I make a point of trying everything at least once.
Other than that, I'm a sixteen-year-old white girl and 100% Southern despite the fact that I was raised by mid-westerners. I'm a little crazy and you'll realize quickly that my sense of humor is more than a little twisted and sarcastic. I'm mature at times and horribly immature at others, aaaaaaand at the moment I'm sick of talking about myself, so we be done here.
PEACE
