They wanted to name me 'Miracle,' but they thought that would sound stupid, so they named me chance instead. They wanted me to have a better chance at life than they did, especially my dad. Lucille was my great grandmother's name and she was very special to my mom. Other than that, I can't really say much.
I am currently twenty years young and was born on September 15, 1989. I was born premature—one week before the due date—and barely made it. Reason being why they wanted to name me miracle but decided to name me chance. I'd tell you what hospital I was born at, but I don't remember. I know I was born in Phoenix, Arizona, but that's about it.
I like photography (obviously), cats, dogs, and horses. I'm a big fan of snowy winters, summer heat, and fall colors. I love to travel, go for long drives, and swim. I love eating healthy (fruits, veggies, etc.). My favorite beverage is milk or water, or lemonade. Although I have to say I'm a big fan of Kool-Aid, but not the Kool-Aid man. I like listening to music, painting, walking, and singing (but not in public). Um, love my old-style blue bike, I ride it almost everywhere, and my favorite colors are purple, blue, and yellow. I don't talk much, but I like people that do, I'm a good listener. I think that about sums it up.
People that practically yell when they're talking to me because they think I'm deaf or speak a different language or something (just so you know, that's not gonna cure anything), people who are just born musically talented (it's not fair), drugs, alcohol, stupid guys that think they're cool, waking up early, and I'm not to big on sports (evenly though I'm healthy and active, my head is a ball magnet and I'm physically incapable of catching anything.)
I am heterosexual which means i prefer guys. Since I'm not one to get up and just go talking to boys and go into flirt mode, I haven't really been in any relationships. Except, my best friend Danny—who was like the only guy I could talk to without getting nervous and quiet—was my crush for the longest time. I never told him, but I'm pretty sure he didn't feel the same way because he had a girlfriend for the longest time that I've known him and then she broke up with him. I remember I kissed him once at my house when we were on the swing hanging on the big tree branch in my backyard. I was sitting on it and he was pushing me. It was the day after his girlfriend dumped him and he was venting. I don't know, we started laughing about the whole thing and I turned to him and just kissed him. Probably the most daring thing I'd ever done. Nothing happened afterward though, just went on same old, same old. I was slightly disappointed.
my grandparents are raising me, and I've never met my real parents. I don't even know if they're still alive or not. All my grandparents told me is that my father was an alcoholic and was into drugs and my mother was unfit to take care of me. So they took me in. Otherwise, I know nothing about them.
I'm afraid to be in big crowds. Shocker, right? Me being shy and all. I know a lot of people don't like big crowds, but I can't stand big crowds. I get all shaky, and I can't speak and I get dizzy and most of the time I end up fainting. Sometimes I'm lucky and I can control it. I can't really explain it though. I've always been the shy little girl that everyone sees, but none of them know.
I'm seriously afraid of heights. I can stand on top of a ladder, but that's probably the highest I'll ever go. This fear is pretty recent. I was helping Danny and his mom repaint their living room one day and they have super high ceilings. They needed a, um, one of those things, uh I think they're called scaffoldings? Yeah. Anyways, they told me to go up on one and start painting up there. it was super wobbly and way too high up for me. It was terrible.
I'm scared of fire. I can stand it when it's like a campfire or something like that, but I don't know, there's just something about it that scares me. I mean, fire can do a lot of damage in a matter of seconds. I've always been afraid of the house burning down or something. I don't know, I scare easily, I could probably give you a list of fears and not have a reason for any of them.

Well, basically the only family that are important in my life are my grandpa Kirk and grandma Willow Griffins. They've loved me and put up with me and done everything and stayed through everything that my parents didn't. I love them and I'm glad that they took me in instead of some foster home. I am very thankful to have them.
My grandparents loved traveling around the states. Of course they brought me with and I loved it too. We went somewhere else every summer. It was always amazing to me. We lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for as long as I can remember and I loved it there. I liked keeping to myself, finding things out without help. I guess I was used to being alone since I was an only child. I never had a friend to talk to, except for Danny. He was my only friend, other than the neighbor girl, Serenity, but she was two years older than me so we didn't hang out too much.
High school bored me. I knew most everybody, but never talked to them like Danny did. He was the confident and outgoing one, totally opposite from me. Sometimes I envied that of him. I wanted to talk to people more and be more like him, but it just wasn't me. I couldn't make myself. I remember when I got into the stage where I wanted to make a statement, so I chopped my hair off to my chin (originally it had been down to the middle of my back.) I hated it though and resented myself for doing it. But, eventually it grew out again. I think though, the only thing I disliked more than myself for doing it was that nobody even noticed. That's how invisible I was at my school.
They called me her, that girl over there, you, what's-your-name, the list goes on. Oh yes, I had many names, but none of them seemed to be Chance. Maybe that's why I liked Danny so much, because he hung out with me and was a good friend to me. But he was only a friend, a crush, and then we went in different directions. I still keep contact with him every once and a while. He lives in Duluth, Minnesota and he's going to school there to become a Chemistry teacher for high school. That was always his best and most favorite subject, the class he always looked forward to. I miss him sometimes, my one and only, most reliable.
sorry it's kind of a crappy history...
you only have to do this on your first character application!
