Universal facts according to Rina

(Aka: Rina101, Rina: a survival guide, how not to die via Rina)

-Rina always wins in arguments. Not because she is right, but for the most part because she never gives up.

-Rina is a proud, stubborn creature. This is probably a universal fact.

-Rina has many different personalities, but all of them have one thing in common: you don't want to mess with her

-Rina thinks the strangest things are very important, like rain and silly string. She believes these little things to be the platform on which she has built her character and her world.

-Rina is a packrat. Her room is filled with junk. Including 5 year old gum wrappers that she refuses to throw out because she maintains that they are significant parts of her history.

-Rina likes old things, because when she touches them, she connects herself to the past, someone's past, and to stories long forgotten.

-Rina loves the literature, and sees it as a living entity. When she reads she feels its pulse, and matches it to the beating of her own heart.

-Rina loves lists. She makes lists of the lists she plans to make.

-While she loves lists, Rina hates order. She believes all great things are born of chaos. (Read: see habitat)

-Rina likes symbolism, and reads too much into things that are too simple. She finds complexities in simple things, and makes them into separate universes.

-Rina’s mind is vast and uncharted. She does things that surprise and unsettle people, and pretends that she doesnt surprise and unsettle herself

-People don’t understand the beauty of rain. They miss the sun, the warmth and cheeriness. Rina thinks that rain has character, and thinks there is beauty there, because the sky is inconstant; like human nature, like the human heart. People run for cover when it rains, but only because they can’t hear the subtle music it creates.

-Rina likes to write. Not necessarily things of great importance, or depth, just words. Lyrics, quotes, and even just her name. She has filled books with meaningless words.

-Rina understands what many people fail to comprehend; clothing is nothing more than a source of warmth and modesty.

-Rina is fascinated by the smell of old books. Its not so much the smell, rather more the knowledge that, one hundred years ago, someone held the very same book in their hands, felt the same foul swoop in their stomach, or the same pang in their chest, or the same giddiness rushing beneath their flesh. Someone else sat holding this book, flipped the cover, and brought pages to life with their imagination. When she reads or holds a book, she is touching history…

she is becoming a part of it.

People don’t understand that some thoughts make more sense when she wears them than when she says them. Some memories need to be turned tangible for her to hold them close.

-Rina is not a fool. She can fully distinguish fantasy from reality. She knows the restriction lines and the proper steps, but chooses not to follow them.

I can only run I mile before I faint or throw up. I can stand wearing nail polish for ten minutes before I chew it off. I can’t maintain a normal conversation for very long. I love roasting marshmallows but I hate eating them. I like the sound of leaves crunching under my feet. I love making my stiletto heels slap on the floor, even though I can stay on my feet for about three minutes before falling on my ass with them. I like to sing though I haven’t got a shred of musical ability in the entirety of being. I write more than I think and read more than I can process. I squint my eyes when I’m angry in hopes of producing a glare. I have an affinity for coffee, tuna and coca cola. I like the rain in a non-sentimental way. I love roasting marshmallows but I hate eating them. I swear too much. I almost always have my camera on hand. I am notorious for having irrational thoughts. My favorite flower ISN’T a rose, it’s a lily. I chew on guitar picks, but never played guitar. I can’t help but play with Glow sticks until they snap in half and stain my clothes. I enjoy murdering my brain cells with permanent marker and pine sol. Roller coasters make me lethargic. My favorite animal is a chinchilla. I’m a masochist by nature and never learned when to shut up. I adore Whip cream. In my head I’m always defending both sides of an argument. Comfort is love but love is painful and the truth is the truth is the truth; I don’t know where I stand. Somehow, I doubt I’ll ever go down in history or be remembered for the things that make me who I am. I haven’t decided whether or not I’m okay with that yet. I dont get hangovers.ever. I thrive off of heartache. I love coffee...tim hortons is my second home. i smoke,constantly. I contradict myself on a daily basis. I like cats, chinchilla's, ducks and coffee. and I found the meaning of life in a hubbabubba comic strip...
