"i'm nobody, haha! aw, just kidding though, everyone is someone. my name is farrah, farrah hansen. i'm twenty three years old and i'm a college graduate from chicago, currently working as a stylist for a photography studio while i continue to work on adding things to my portfolio. yeah, design, business, and photography were all my majors! but, that aside, i'm actually just a friend of the guys in wolves and foxes, and a little more to a special someone." "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "a lot of people have a few misconceptions about me. one, they might think i'm stupid because i'm blonde. that isn't true at all. for starters, to dispel the aforementioned, i'm quite intelligent, i might use big words but it's not for show, i know the meanings and i know language and i'm articulate. so i don't know where this 'stupid' thing comes from. maybe because i'm sometimes very giggly, but i like to giggle, it's healthy for you. two, they might think i'm pretentious because i'm pretty - or because i'm told daily that i'm pretty - and that i might have an ego from all this. also not true on all accounts of that statement. i'm not pretentious at all, and if i come off that way i am truly sorry. i'll have you know i hardly think i'm the next megan fox or adriana lima or whoever you choose as your token gorgeous, famous girl. i think 'pretty' and 'beauty' is truly in the eye of the beholder, as cliche as that may sound. everyone's beautiful. but yes, now that we've gotten those two things out of the way, i can really actually tell you a little something about myself. i'm really nothing like other people make me out to be, and i'm not typically shy like other people think i am. i'm just another girl that just wants to understand the world and be understood by others. i think it's a matter of getting to know me to really see how i am, because just being an acquaintance doesn't really show you how a person is. i love to enjoy life the way it is, to laugh and to be made to laugh by good people who know the right way in life. i like to be pretty straightforward with people, if you hadn't noticed, but i'm nice when i do it, i don't like to be mean to anyone and i'd hate for anyone to think i'm rude. on the opposide side with that being said, i might just care a little too much of what other people think about me. i don't mind if people have some weird thought about me as long as they keep it to themselves, but it's just when it's out there that it drives me a little bit crazy. anyway, i am sweet as sugar to my friends, they are my second foundation besides my family. i like to meet people all the time, and i always bring a smile til there's a reason why i shouldn't. i try to never bring an atmosphere down even if i'm uncomfortable with it, like with parties - partying isn't really the thing for me, but if you'd like to come over and have a drink and a nice conversation, i'm your girl. i'm fiercely loyal to those who let me into their life, as i would hope they would be to me, and if you gain my trust, keep it safe and high because if you lose it, you will never get it back. some people might say that i love too quickly and fall too fast, but i trust my heart over my gut if it comes down to the choice, even if it might lead me to get hurt - but hey, what's life and experiences to grow without having any falls? i can be very very sensitive at most times like a typical girl - i'll cry at any romantic movie, or whenever i'm hurt - but i still try to be strong thoughout that. i think it's because i'm such a high strung person with school and the things i work on that i get crazy, because i do get easily stressed out, but i always find a way to bring myself back down to my center. i love humor and things to make me laugh and smile, it takes the tension out of me and makes everything brighter. i do have an even softer side that is exclusive to the person i love, and now that i think of it, the best way to explain myself is that i'm hopelessly devoted to people i care about and to the things i do. and that's all about me." "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" "i'm a chicago native, born and raised there my entire life. it's different to grow up in such a big city, because you get a different sense of the world than you would with the suburbs - i always noticed that whenever i was visiting my grandparents, haha. but anyway, my mother died when i was young from cancer, and i was raised by my brother and my father. growing up without a female figure was hard because guys don't really understand the same things girls do ever, but it's because of my father that i have a better personality and understanding of everything, plus a bit of thick skin, too. but my aunt did teach me a lot of things as a lady, and i think i owe my style and my grace to her. i didn't grow up being fawned over by people around me even though they would have liked to hand all of it to me, i always worked for what i got. i was pretty much in everything imaginable in terms of honors and even extracurricular, but my real passions lay in dance, specifically ballet, and in drawing. dance was my expression, and drawing mixed that and the passion i had for clothes too, haha. i graduated as the salutatorian from my high school and went off to the university of chicago, but i transferred over to columbia college to pursue merchandising and fashion design. i guess that's where the relevance comes from me being here - i was in a few general courses with a few friends who knew the guys in wolves and foxes, and they convinced me to come out to the shows that they locally played. of course, i loved local music and supporting the artists that came out from our city, so i always went. and i guess when i was introduced to nate hurst, he took a liking in me, as much as i did with him. and needless to say, i had him work for his dates with me, haha. but he was and still is very good to me, that's why i said yes to dating him - and i've grown to care about him a lot. we're here now, still together and it's almost been a year and a bit. he recently went off to los angeles with the other guys to get all this label stuff sorted out with his friends, so i'm pretty much between chicago and there for the summer. the distance has been hard to deal with after always seeing him while we were both on the same campus and same area. but if this small, secret deal may go through it might not be a problem anymore... " "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" "i get up and go for a run every morning. that's how you keep yourself healthy! actually, going for a run always gets me energized for the day as opposed to tired as other people might think it would, believe it or not. i take my little white dog named carmen out with me too, she's a healthy little playful pup who seems to enjoy going out as much as i do. when i'm done i obviously shower, get dressed and style my hair in the same way almost every day depending on the weather and humidity, then when i'm ready i go out for my morning coffee before i go to work. i currently have a job as a personal assistant to a designer in chicago, so it helps my experiences and my bank account, haha. when i get out at four i run some errands and on occasion i go shopping, and when i get home do my yoga and give my boyfriend a call if he's not already hanging out at my apartment when he's home. when he is, we cook together, have dinner, and have a nice date night; when he's not, i pretty much take the rest of my day to read or watch some movies on demand with a nice glass of chardonnay. that's pretty much how my days always go before they repeat." "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" "i'm a very driven person. i'm here because of that, because i've always worked hard. my father taught me how to always go for your goals, and my mother has always been an inspiration to me even in memory because i had always been told how much she did to get to the lifestyle she achieved for herself and her family. hopefully in the future i'll be at her level, independent and successful but also in a good place and a stable relationship. right now everything is good in my life, nothing too too serious just quite yet even though i'm starting to coax nate to get to the next level at our age, and there is one thing that might surprise my boyfriend in the near future. but i promise it'll help us instead of hurt us. i hope." "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" "you're a doll for listening to me speak about myself for this long, haha." hey there, the name's steph. i live in the eastern time zone and this is my sixth so someone stop me soon B| character.
