Bonjour/Howdy! I'm Virginia, aka 4LetterLie, a 17-year-old femme from an appalingly squeaky clean corner of the world, who has some how managed to come out the other end as a filthy headonistic heathen with red-purple hair. I love reading novels of my own choosing ( when not detained with reading the rubbish required for AP English ), acting ( however I mostly get typcasted as the crazy, slutty, unstable character ), and galavanting avec mes amis ( when I have no restrictions .) I also enjoy making art and its history, French, belly dancing, pin ups, 80s goth, psychobilly, Morrissey, my sexy libarian glasses, studying cults/relgions, and my lovely Peruvian lova. Oh and piercings. I adore with my ear spiral. Yay! Feel free to drop a line, whateva. One day I may get around to writing something of my own, and settle the inner debate of whether or not I can actually write.
