About Me


Hey! My name's Saoirse. It's actually pronounced as seer-sha and NOT sayrs or swishee or seahorse as what most people would say. I kind of hate it actually, having a name that's so unlikely. It makes you different, alone and distinguishable. But I guess distinction can be good. At least, most of the time. I'm part Irish, which explains my peculiar name, and part American-Mexican. I have mixed races which go far beyond that. I'm complicated. Blame my parents for it.
 
 
I'm fifteen, as you can probably tell, and still believes that I'm ten at heart just so I could have an excuse to sleep beside my dad when the weather isn't fair to me. I have a habit of doing something crazy when I'm on the verge of distraught and boredom. That includes sitting in my bathtub for three hours straight with a good book curled under my arm whilst stirring a cup of coffee on the other. I like to keep everything (such as myself) classy. Just classy, nothing extraordinary. I find it funny when people eat banana right in front of me. I have no idea why.
 
I started reading when I was probably about five. I think it all started out with a five hundred page collection book of bedtime stories and challenged myself to finish all of them. This thought somehow shocked my mother to see and realize that her daughter is now the one reading herself to sleep. Then, my habit started to fonder when I got my first Harry Potter book when I was eight. It was the fifth installment, The Order of the Pheonix, and because my parents never really had the idea that it was actually in a series, they just bought the whole thing (which practically was the same size as a Bible to me back then), wrapped it in a cute Santa Claus gift wrapper and gave it to me as a Christmas present. Even when I only understood just a part of it, it was still somehow one of the reasons why I whine to my parents every month to get me a book.

 

 

I am obsessed with music. I play the guitar, bass, piano, and violin. And now, I'm learning to play the drums. My family is well-acquainted with such and it would just be a pity if I wouldn't let myself out there and venture out. Since then, I have been loving the idea of rocking. I'm in a band too but we're not that high up yet. We get a few gigs here and there but it's just mostly for a good cause or for shows or we're looking for something to pass our time.
