everything you never wanted to know about me

so...here's a more in depth bio on me. instead of that 110 facts crap. (i was terribly bored.)


so my name is stacie. with an I-E! don't forget, i'll get all adam on your ass.

i am 19 years old. i was born may 14, 1984.

poughkeepsie, ny is where i was born. poughkeepsie is where i have lived all my life.

i live in a house with my mom, dad, brother, and pets.

my mom and dad don't get along. they haven't gotten along for as long as i can remember. they are not divorced, and apparently don't plan on doing so, ever. (they don't even sleep in the same room. same floor, even!)

my brother randy is 17. he is now a senior in high school. he's pretty rad, usually.

i have a sister, christie, who is 26. she doesn't live here. she lives in maryland, with her husband kenny.

i have 4 cats. cuddles and midnight are mine. scarey is randy's. dusty belonged to christie.

2 dogs reside at my house. emily and susie. i severely dislike them both. i'm a cat persion.

we also have 2 ferrets, sammy and seymour. they rock.


oh....what i look like...

i'm about 5'8'' tall and overweight. i'm not gonna put my weight here, for 2 reasons. one being that well...it's kinda embarrassing! and 2, because i've been sick and my weight is in no way stable so it would just be silly.

moving on...i currently have short brownish blonde hair. its naturally wavy/curly, and i gave up trying to combat the curliness a while ago. it's not boy-short, but it's about...3-4 inches above where my neck connects to my back...in the back....in the front, it's shorter....shit, i can't describe it. i gave this haircut to myself. i hate getting haircuts at haircutting places. anyway, i dye my hair fairly often. i don't know why. just like to.

my eyes appear to be dark brown, but when you get up close, you see that they're really dark green. i really like my eyes, but no one can see them unless they get like an inch away from my face. and no one is ever that close to me. except me, in a mirror. the reason you cant see my eyes too well is that they're kinda set back deep in my face or something...it makes makeup difficult. therefore...the only makeup i ever wear is foundation. i very occasionally wear lipstick.

i wear glasses. the one's i usually wear are semi-thick dark blue things. i like them, usually. i have a thinner brown wire pair, but they get tangled in my hair somehow...

my labret is pierced. i really really like this piercing. if you don't know, the labret is the lower lip piercing. i have a stud in there, but occasionally i wear a hoop there. my left ear has 7 piercings in it. 4 in the lobe. 1 in the middle. 2 in the cartilage. in my first holes, i like to wear dangly earrings. i usually only wear hoops in the cartilage, i don't like the way they look down in the bottom holes.

i usually dress in jeans and tshirts. band tshirts, or crap from old navy. i like old navy. so fucking sue me. my t-shirts are size medium. or well, most are. i have some that are youth xl, some that are XXL. so...yeah. my jeans are usually size 18. (i told you i was fat, haha!) as for shoes, i wear my black chucks basically all the time. i wrote all over them and theyre ripped all over the place. they're the low top kinds. i have a pair of purple and red ones too, but i don't wear them as much. i have a brown bair of shoes, but they squeak on the floors at my job, so i don't usually wear those. also, since i started wearing chucks, any other shoe feels too damn heavy and hot! so yeah...i'm addicted to the fuckers now. oh, and yeah, teh chucks are size 9. in boys. which makes me size 11 in girls. big feet. oh well.

i like wearing weird socks with lots of colors and designs. argyle socks are awesome. i also like black socks, but i only have 3 pairs. sad.

as for panties...i like ones that feel nice! like silky or whatnot. and...like....bikini style. i wear size 5 or 6, i think....and...yeah. bras....i have lots of different sizes...i think the ones that fit best are 36b....my boobs are pretty small. the right one is bigger than the left one. i know you wanted to know that.


i have the master bedroom in my house. i have a dresser, a night stand, 2 closets, a futon bunk bed (with galaxy sheets!!), a tv, vcr, alarm clock, nintendo 64 (it's my brother's though), a desk, a computer, a printer, a guitar, an amp, this karaoke machine thing (my mom made us buy it, haha) a cd holder with my cd's and dvd's....too many to count....and....yeah. all my crap. i have weezer, third eye blind, dashboard, nin, incubus, and radiohead posters up. plus a collage i made senior year, an incubus calendar, and this poster from the cmj saddle creek showcase show last november. on my desk, i have coldplay, brandon boyd, ataris, and boy sets fire posters that i have not put up yet. i've had them for MONTHS. i'm lazy. oh, i also have this lil picture i painted based on a bright eyes song hanging up.


i'm a sophomore at SUNY new paltz. it's about 27 minutes from my house. i commute. i only applied to 2 colleges, and one i didn't even finish the second part of the application. i ended up at new paltz because i'm lazy, and i always do the easier thing, even if it's not the best thing. i have no friends at my school, except erin, who i knew from high school. my gpa is 3.6 something, i cant remember exactly. but that's dean's list, folks. this semester, it may go down. i'm taking harder classes. i can't hide behind general eds anymore.

i'm supposedly in the psychology program. i enjoy psychology alot, it's really the only thing i'm interested in. however, i don't think i want to BE a psychologist, so i'm kind of confused. my dream job is a music journalist. i also would like to teach elementary school. neither will happen, most likely.

there are many attractive boys at my school. that was off topic, sorry.

i'm terrible at math and science, which drives me crazy because i know i'm not dumb. i'm fairly intelligent, and there are just some concepts i can't grasp. i'm better at english and foreign languages. also, i can read really fast.

like i said, i really have no friends at college, and i wasn't exactly surrounded by them in high school. here's a little friend-history:

my best friend before kindergarten was a kid on my street named kevin. we were totally down, yo. but we were in different kindergarten classes and the relationship went down hill from there. once i got to school, i met a girl named lora and she became my best friend for all of elementary school. but....in elementary school there was maybe like 20 girls all together in my grade so...basically everyone was kind of friends. from 1st to 4th grade, i was really close with a girl named georgia lu. we used to talk on the phone and stuff, i never did that with anyone else. she was wicked cool. but then she moved to south carolina or some shit. we wrote for a few months, but lost contact. my brothers friend harry moved into her house! but anyway...

in 5th grade, i started hanging out with different people, mainly because lora did, and i am a follower, not a leader. for about a year, me, lora, a girl named michelle (who i always disliked) and another kid named pier hung out after school EVERY day and rode our bikes around the neighborhood. it was weird. this was the year i saw people i knew SMOKING and it troubled me so much. i was so innocent!

in middle school, some stuff went down that i don't even remember....but i know somehow, pier and i ended up hating each other. and i don't know why, at all. but it was bad, man. i still hung out with lora, but i got new friends....namely lisa and alicia, who were in my class. i knew alicia from the year before...and...yeah. i dunno, but they were nice to me and stuff, so we became friends. i met 2 other girls named teren and tyne towards the end of the year who seemed to enjoy my company...i also hung out with these weird kids duane and brian during our little recess time...brian ended up getting thrown out of our high school because they thought he was planning to blow it up or something...heh...i think he tried to put a spell on me once too, in high school. creepy fucking kid. in 7th grade, i befriended a new girl named ashley, i don't know how i did that, because i don't make friends easily at all, but somehow we got friendly and i invited her to go the mall with me once and after that we were friends. i also started getting friendly with a girl named erica. she rocked! still does, i'm sure. yeah...then a girl named nikki came to our school and me and ashley kinda forced her into being our friend...haha....and then....the three of us were friends. and i really didn't hang out with lora anymore, because her friends were whores that hated me. in 8th grade, some mad drama went down with lora's whore friends and me. haha....it was so ridiculous, looking back on it. but yeah. lora and i really didn't hang out, ever. in march her dad died. and....yeah. that kinda sucked. i went to the wake and the funeral. and...since then, i haven't really talked to her.

in high school, i was basically just friends with nikki and ashley. or, they were my best friends, and i still hung out with tyne and sometimes lisa and erin. in 11th grade, ashley decided she didn't like me and nikki anymore, so....that was that. as a senior, nikki met some freshman, hence, i met some freshmen, and we hung out with a bunch of younger kids all year. it was an awesome year. i really enjoyed it. i miss it. anyway....uhh....the kid i talked to most was alex...i crashed his lunch every other day! danny was a pretty cool mofo, too, and zack, jenna, kevin...yeah, i think that's it. at prom that year, ashley sat at me and nikki's table and asked if she could talk to us, and then started crying or whatnot and saying she was sorry and....yeah. weird stuff. a week after that, we hung out....i haven't seen ashley since. nikki talks to her online.

at my college orientation, i met a girl named marie who was pretty cool, and we had a class together first semester, so that was pretty cool. i haven't seen her since. or well...actually, she's in my new psych class but i haven't SEEN her, you know? and yeah, i see erin at school sometimes and dana, a girl i work with. but that's it.

speaking of work, i work at michael's, the arts and crafts chain store. i started working there in november of 2001. it wasn't my first job. i started working at marshall's in february 2001, but i hated it so much i quit after 4 days. i applied at michael's because nikki had worked there for a while and then quit, and she wanted to get her job back, and i went with her and her manager hired her back and hired me, too. so i've been there nearly 2 years. some really cool people have worked there, not necessarily friends, but as for people that work there now that i get along with, there's kim and...well...haha, i guess just kim! i'm actually finding myself talking to lauren more, now that i don't have to directly work with her she seems MUCH better...i was hired as a cashier, now i am a front end supervisor...i make $7.42 an hour, i was hired at $6.25. if i'm still there in november, i will get another raise, yay!

anyway, back to friends! i'm still friends with nikki, and i talk to erin sometimes, and i hung out with tyne a few times earlier in the summer, but my high school acquaintances are all gone. now, i basically hang out with my brother and his friend kenny. i realize how sad this is. but...i guess i really don't care.

back to the working thing...i also work for my mom doing medical transcription since april or so. it is good money, since i'm actually pretty good at it and type real fast.


here's a big important section.....MUSIC!

i've always loved music, as a kid i dug michael jackson and the moody blues. i got my first cd in 6th grade. alanis morisette. then i got oasis. then jewel. then coolio. i think i might have been the coolest kid EVER.

in 9th grade, something big happened to me. it doesn't sound big, but to me it was. i had always listened to k104, which is our local top 40 station. in about february or so of 1999, i started listening to wrrv, the rock/alternative station. i was enlightened. like...there is music that isn't pop or rap? i started developing my own tastes. my dad offered to take me to a concert for my 15th birthday that year. i gave him a choice between eminem and the goo goo dolls. he chose the goo goo dolls. and so began my goo goo dolls obsession...the first 3 concerts i saw were the goo goo dolls...yeah. but then that summer, probably because of ashley, i started listening to harder stuff, and by harder i mean...korn. i got into stuff by filter, orgy, sevendust, staind, buckcherry, godsmack, etc. ashley and i saw the family values tour in october of that year. limp bizkit was the headliner. we left before they were over, haha. they were her favorite band. i also got into rem and nin really heavily that year. i don't know if i was depressed or what, but i started doing dumb things...i pierced my own ear multiple times, pierced my ankle twice (again, something that ashley had done), and pierced my own labret. i took it out after a day. hard to hide from mom. i also cut various designs into my body. which was incredibly dumb. but what can i say, i was 15, and i haven't done it since then. so whatever. oh yeah...in january of 2000 i got all crazy about third eye blind. still love those boys. i started going to concerts with tyne, cuz she liked to. in february, i saw the sno core tour with nikki and ashley. before the show, i had bought incubus' make yourself cd, and fallen in love with it. after i saw them play, i was totally hooked. 3 years and 8 months later....i'm still freakin hooked. love love LOVE them. i started growing out of the nu metal shit. in august 2000 i heard a band called good charlotte. they lived near my sister, and i heard them on a local radio station while i was down visiting her. i bought their cd. it was a different type of music then i'd heard. pop punk that didn't suck ass. it was a hard concept to grasp.

the reason that this is important is because good charlotte are the reason i first when to the coolest place in the world, aka the chance here in poughkeepsie. they played there in october, with a bunch of bands i hadn't heard of at the time (lefty, newfound glory, and fenix tx). it was the first show i'd seen in a club...and i LOVED it. anyway...my good charlotte thing didn't last long...i got into matchbox 20, linkin park, weezer, and radiohead. weird, i know. that summer i saw radiohead in liberty state park. they were AMAZING.

senior year...not much happened until the spring. i got mtv2. i heard something corporate, the strokes, the hives, the vines, black rebel motorcycle club, the white stripes, dashboard, thursday. awesome stuff. that summer...i saw the warped tour. and....wow. i felt like i BELONGED there. it was the coolest fucking thing i've ever experienced. i really only went to see thursday, and i only watched them, something corporate, and good charlotte, but...damn. the atmosphere was so cool. i loooooooooved it. and that was how i really got into pop-punk/hardcore/emo stuff...and i'm still into it. i think i've finally found my niche, since it's been over a year. i also got into bright eyes that summer. last summer. to end, here's some....lists.

so yeah. music is important to me. that's the bottom line, i guess.


other interests of mine include...bowling! i like doing that. i like doing crafty things, like painting, and beading...and that's basically it. i like reading. i used to watch a lot of tv, especially the music channels, but now i don't...i don't watch at all, actually. over the summer i watched the brendan leonard show and that 70's show. now, i watch nothing.

if i were to watch anything though, it would be conan obrien, the new season of friends, that 70's show, and if american idol ever comes back...oh yeah and brendan.
