I know I said that this site was made to share the best and worst of me, but I detest describing myself. Everything I can think of to illustrate who I am is shallow and stereotypical:

Hi, my name is Briana. I live in Wisconsin. (No cheesehead jokes; I've heard them all before.) I like writing, fantasy, music, art, traveling... *starts guaging at how ridiculous I sound*

Words like gamer, prep, and emo don't capture human nature. They're petty titles for labeling others and feeding our ego. I may be a nerdy, tree hugging, nineteen year old college student, but all that shows is what I'm interested in.

"Know thyself" is a decievingly simple concept. What makes a person a person? Is it the chemicals in their brain? Their God? Their awareness? Their soul? Since portraying myself from such lofty perspectives would be quite challenging, I've opted for the simpler route of listing some trivial traits. If you want to be friends on Myspace I'm at www.myspace.com/bridellwyn. For more photos go to http://picasaweb.google.com/MeshuLover/Me#.
