Description I've been wanting to do this for a while now, so I finally got around to it! Figured I'd give everyone a break from my Dapper series to talk a bit about myself. Here goes...

My name is Regina, I was born December 6th, 1995, and am currently 22. I have two older sisters, making me the baby of my family. Majority of my friends anymore are because of our shared interest in art [flmelbelleGoldsandLikeclockworkorange , and Andramor , I'm talking to you goons]. I'm socially awkward as all hell, I swear a lot [if that wasn't obvious enough], and I have a bad temper/ mild anxiety. I was basically raised on hard rock/ heavy metal and Disney. Random fun fact, I love to sing! I always sing to my tunes loudly in my car or when I have the house to myself. I've always wanted to get better, but I'm too nervous to sing in front of anyone that isn't part of my few trusted people group, mainly cause I subconsciously feel like I tend to sing like a dude. I was never the most popular person, being bullied basically from kindergarten to 10th-11th grade.  In 7th grade, I was put in an institute for a week due to making suicidal threats and trying to slice my arm with a piece of wood in the middle of class. Because of that, I have a bit of minor fear of hospitals, especially the one where I was admitted. [I actually had to go there recently for chest pains and once I realized where I was I felt incredibly nervous and had to watch stuff on my phone to calm me down.] I have a severe fear of stinkbugs, to the point to where I can't even go near a dead one. Unfortunately for me, they always appear in my room out of nowhere, mainly in the spring and summer [of course, my favorite times of the year]. I also have deep fears of abandonment and failure - I love my alone time, but I hate the feeling of being socially outcast with no one to back me up, and I tend to panic when it comes to doing something new, thinking I'll somehow screw things up for myself. For a while, I wanted to be an auto-mechanic, attending a separate school for about a year. Due to some circumstances and mainly my class being full of sexist pricks, I dropped the class, and I n ow have moved to studying psychology. Over time, I've developed a strange fascination over the human brain and what can go wrong with it, dealing with various mental disorders and such. I've been in two relationships, one which I'd rather not go into detail, and the one I'm currently in with Octavariumguy . We met in my freshman year of high school, and after about a year, he got me out of my first relationship. Now, we've been together almost seven years [he's actually the one who got me the coffin purse!] and I haven't been happier. He and his brother Zekehimberry95 are probably the biggest reason I still do art today, and despite having our differences and petty arguments, I love them both dearly.
I guess a little minor detail about my characters... I created Neon wayyy back in middle school [what year exactly, I can't remember]. She was originally a Naruto OC named Kitsune, with a more "natural" fox color scheme. Then, she became a HTF OC, with her colors being black and green and her name being changed to Neon. Slowly over time, I made her into her own thing, also roping in new characters [the first to be by her side being Acid, Chemical, Kitty, and Fetch, all being made around the same time and from dreams/ "visions" I'd have around that time]. For a while in high school, I actually requested some teachers call me Neon, but that quickly stopped due to kids ridiculing me and my teachers simply forgetting.

So, yea, here I am, for all of you people to observe!...kinda. Sorry if the wall of text is a hot mess, I'm typing this in a half-daze right before I gotta go to work T.T

Was neat to see you do something like this.  Interesting to see your thoughts about yourself.  I'm just glad you;ve grown so much as a person and are a lot happier these days it seems.

Yea, this was kinda odd yet interesting to do. It was weird at first, the thought of putting myself out there, but it doesn't bother me now. I'm glad you like it, though. And yes, I am overall happier now :]]

6th grade yo
you made Neon in 6th grade

Also looking back on all of your characters is really making me nostalgic, seeing where they were and how they've come along.  Freaking Neon has changed sooooo much, I feel like I need to whip up an anniversary pic of some kind featuring Neon and Ming's first designs lol

Oh my gosh, you remembered?! XDD Broski!
And yea, everyone has changed so drastically at this point. It's so strange looking back on old stuff anymore. And you totally should, I'd love to see that! If you send me a pic of old Ming, I'd probably wanna do one myself lol

Why you didn't say anything?

xNeonMariex In reply to SpawnAlSimmons1987 [2018-03-07 05:32:21 +0000 UTC]

Believe me, I tried. I feel like most of them just fed off my reactions, so when I stopped caring, they stopped trying.
...Except one case, where a boy threw gym shorts at me, so I chucked them back at his face and called him out in front of the whole class. After that, that particular guy and his groupies left me alone haha

I'm with you on that. Thankfully, I'm out of grade school, so that crap doesn't happen to me anymore

Spiffy

I also have a deep voice and have been mistaken as a guy by a small child once--just on my voice! 


Yay for alto female singers.  We can rock it. 

Sounds like you've had a lot of challenges, but what matters is that you're happy now / working towards it.  We're always here if you need to talk or want to hang out.

I feel like I've been tagged, I think I'll do my own!

haha I've been mistaken for a boy on multiple occasions in the past. I think it was hilarious, honestly.
Thanks, that means a lot. Happiness has been a tricky thing to achieve, but I think I can confidently say I'm getting to a content state.
And you totally should, it'd be neat to see!
