I’m Casey Ryan Paige, wilderness explorer, librarian, comedian, punk rocker, original gangster, feminist, vegetarian and fashion model. I make a point to do activist work when I can. Every English teacher I had in high school told me that I’m a gifted writer. Books are everything to me and I have many favorites. My biggest dream is to teach for the Peace Corps. I was diagnosed with clinical depression when I was sixteen. All my life, until I graduated high school, I had a very weak immune system and paid frequent visits to the hospital. Since then, I never get sick. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. My favorite band is Bright Eyes. I love punk rock. I love live music.  My favorite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’m a Coen brothers junkie. I am not a huge fan of television and I don’t have cable in my room. However, if it’s on somewhere, Beavis and Butthead or Breaking Bad would be my first choices. My favorite color is pink. I have tried and enjoyed many drugs. I think of tripping as a religious experience. I smoke pot every day to keep the ugly at bay. I like making things out of clay. I like to work out. I love to sing. I like Nintendo and my favorite video game is Zelda. I like cutting up my clothing. I like to have sex. I like to express myself through my appearance. I like staying up all night. I like exploring outside and going on adventures.

My hair is naturally this blonde. I’m 5’3” and very petite. My eyes change from bright green to piercing blue and are as big as silver dollars. My lips are very pouty which gives me a bitchface to be reckoned with. My tiny nose has a bump in it. I have a purple birthmark on my right forearm. My left eye is severely far sighted and my right eye is severely near sighted which has left me without depth perception, but has given me a lazy eye that shows up in pictures occasionally and only a few have seen it in person. My feet are an American size five in women’s. I get freckles in the summer. I have ten piercings and six tattoos. I’m full of empathy, enthusiasm, passion, energy, thoughts, feelings, and dreams. I’m a child at heart. I think I’m very beautiful.
