A force to be reckoned with

[Rosalie McLaughlin♥]

Hi everyone, I'm Elizabeth, however I go by Ellie. I am twenty going on twenty-one and am excited for that bday in just five short months. I have been rping since I was about 15 and joined BB when I was 16. I have had tons and tons of characters on this site, however, I really only stay on Rosalie's account. I don't know why, but she's the only character that has been alive for more than a year, whereas other ones have died shortly after being accepted into BB.

For a long time I did not give much personal information about myself online because I was young, I didn't want people to believe I was phony nor did I want them to know a lot about me. However, I finally told BB about me. I told everyone that I had brain cancer, that I had underwent brain surgery. It's all true. I had cancer for a year after the surgery, unfortunately when the neurosurgeons went in to remove the malignant tumor, they took some good brain and left a small piece of the tumor by accident. As a result, I had the cancer still and the left side of my body has permanent nerve damage. My left hand is pitiful, although I consider it to be at 80% functional. I am very blessed that I did not lose all function in the hand and arm. I cannot type as well as I used to. I only use my thumb and index finger on the left hand. I try not to use this as an excuse as to why my replies are short and late. But sometimes it is completely true. No, my hand will not get any better than 80% functioning. It shakes too, so holding something usually results on me cleaning something up that 'left hand syndrome' caused. I coined the name 'left hand syndrome' because I am clumsy and since surgery that dang hand of mine has a mind of its own, I swear. I have awful migraines and annoying headaches. So I'm not always on the pc because the light and noise makes it worse.

ok enough about the sob story. It's been almost three years since the surgery and in december it will be two years now that I am still cancer free! (btw, my 21st bday is in dec, a very special month for me). I was in college, dropped out in my third semester, trying to 'drop' back in, takes money and I work part-time. So it's going to be a while before I'm back in college. Let's see, I'm tall, not the weight I want to be at and I have brown hair and green eyes. I'm single since me and boyfriends apparently don't get along well. I have trust issues I think. lol. I have a blog and try to write a post at least once a week. Sometimes I can't because my head is hurting or i'm uninspired for the week. Here's the link to the site; I Matter Too! I named it that because it seems that all my so-called friends in real life forgot me. They dubbed me the sick one. And I'm standing up to them, I am still alive, I still have dreams and I am damn well sure capable of doing things. It's also supposed to be uplifting and inspirational for the other young men and women who have had something life altering happen in their young lives. If I can beat cancer, defeat the odds, they can achieve anything. Whether that's getting out of an abusive relationship, achieving a dream, beating cancer or some other horrible illness, saying no to drugs and using contraception then so be it! Power to the young people!

Oh this is me:
No hating please, it's not often that I open up to complete strangers.
