Hey, name is Ophelia Bates. I'm 19 years old and I live in a small ass town in the middle of Iowa. I'm an artist. I am a vegetarian. I am bisexual but that doesn't mean that I'll jump any girl or guy out there. Gender is meaning less to me. I have five tattoos-a set of cherries on my hipbone, an egyptian symbol on my ankle, a set of sparrows on my chest, a panther on my arm, and an anchor on my lower back. I also have eighteen piercings: my ears, two of which are gauged to a 10g, my nose, lip,eyebrow, and septum. I am single(though I'm crushing on someone). I'm a hopeless romantic, give me a fairy tale ending anyday.I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs but I don't hold it against anyone that does any of those things. I am dedicated to animal rights.I am involved with the vampire subculture and don't email me asking to turn you or you'll get a huge smack in the face. I am planning on going to college to be an environmentalist with a minor in photography. I don't care too much about sex, unless I'm in love with that person.I love go to the concerts, all of the moshing, crowdsurfing, and stagediving is a really rush. I don't have a lot of chic friends cuz girls come with too much drama. I'm not one for labels.
I was raised by hippies, so you can only imagine the kind of effects that had on me growing, lol.I have Borderline Biopolar, which is a fancy word that means I have a problem with controlling my feelings.I am a musician,I play bass part-time & sing..One of my biggest fascinations is body modification like piercings I'm planning attempting a suspension attempt.I also have a layout for a back piece of a pirate ship I want tattooed on my back. I like to think of myself as a modern pirate.I have a lot more guyfriends than girls.I make a habit of into getting food fights at anywhere I am,I'm a women,animal, & gay rights activist .I am in the process of writing a book"The Monster & Mille,a series of short stories & poems"due to release Dec. 2008(hopefully).I sleep with a stuffed animal that I've had since I was five
