Am I actually trying to describe myself? Why, I think I am. This is amazing. Actually, I'll just put up the facts. I live in a small town (commonly referred to as "Cowtown" because that's all we have here - we even have a Cow Chip Festival every year) that had a big celebration a few years ago when we got our first stop light. We're in Massachusetts. I was born in Newport, Rhode Island, and often visit there to imagine the life I could have had. I am officially 5'5", after being 5'6" and shrinking two inches to 5'4". I must have grown another inch this year. I have lightish brown hair that is semi-long, but I'm going to get it cut Friday (it's Tuesday as I write this) so who knows then? My eyes are of various colours, ranging from blue to green to gray, so I won't put the specifics down. Let's just say I don't have brown eyes like the rest of my family does.

I live with my mother (mum) and brother, and my sister techincally lives in our house, but she's at college right now and instead calls every night. I've talked to her more since she went away to college than this whole summer, because she was never home then either. I also have a cat (she's really my sister's, but she loves me more, probably because I get annoyed easier) that is possessed but has asthma and can't breathe when people go away (on vacation, or when my sister left). I am allergic to cats, but I'm accustomed to mine so it's okay. I am also allergic to horses, which is my other favourite animal. Other allergies (there are a lot) include: pizza, chocolate, chinese food, penicillin (although the doctors always try to give it to me), and most meat. But I don't eat meat anyway.

I will be a junior in my stupid little high school that I detest greatly. The people who run it try to think of ways to make the halls less crowded, so they make one-way halls, but that just makes the other halls crowded, and those halls were not the overly-crowded halls in the first place. Why not just add another floor (my school's only one floor) or, if they're too cheap to put additions, just let us have classes on the roof. Instead, they convert the custodians' room into classrooms, and they take up room in the library for classes. As a result, the students are not allowed to go to the library during the school day. They're stupid.

My specialties include: burning chicken nuggets in the microwave, passing out in the middle of science class, and falling over on football fields during the marching band halftime show. I also walk into walls and doors very often.

General Likes: Sleeping in late, going to bed early in the morning, marching band, reading, writing, roller coasters, music, kilts, brits, concerts, going online, downloading songs, glam, orange, lime green, sparkles, art, sarcasm, Newport, Pennsylvania, randomly saying "żEs esa una vaca?" to people, the fact that I'm finally going to Disney this June and next Christmas.

General Dislikes: The fact that I've never been to Disney, purposeful ignorance, Britney Spears, other teen pop, playing the flute, not having money, not having a job, not buying new cds, the fact that the only copy of The Seven Towers by Patricia C. Wrede in the library system is missing, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, hate crimes, gay bashing, Tim Hayward and the fact that he lives close to me, people not updating their Candyskins pages in two years, my brother always being on the phone like now.
