This page is supposed to be about me, but I find that very hard to write. The best way to get to know someone is to spend time with them (in your case, read my entries), so I suggest doing that if you want to learn who I am rather than just about me. In any case, I’m sure there are those of you who don’t care what I have to say, and still want to know just about me. So: here it goes.

1. I live in Pennsylvania, about 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia
2. I lived in Japan when I was 12, 13, and 14
3. I hope to someday be famous for some reason
4. I like the color red
5. Red pens fascinate me
6. I think the word ‘pants’ is a funny word
7. I eat soup even in the summer
8. I am probably awake right now
9. I am subscribed to three science magazines
10. I am not as weird as this list may make me seem

There… now you know about me. Okay, all sarcasm aside, I really do love to write about issues that interest me. I abhor writing from prompts because they are usually general and impersonal; you can’t really get into them. You can almost always find me in the music hallway after school is out, even if I am doing nothing music oriented (I consider it my home away from home… sort of). Photography is also extremely engaging to me because it is technology that freezes a moment in time. Provided the inks don’t fade, 150 years from now, a completely random person could look at a picture of you, maybe passed down by family, maybe in a museum. Besides the pure fact that pictures capture time, they also provide a doorway to artistic creativity. The most blurry picture of contrasting colors can provide inspiration.

Nothing bothers me more than slow, obnoxious people. Take, for example, when an entire hallway is crowded full of people walking and trying to get places they have to be. There will always be that one group of people that are doing one of two things: standing not moving in the middle of the hallway talking to each other or moving very slowly down the hall, usually joking about something or other. AHHHH!

When I’m not in front of the computer (which may be more often than you get the impression of), I love to cook, exercise, hang out with friends, not do my homework (I eventually get it done, and in time), and play with my dog (she’s a Cairn Terrier, like Toto but better).

Now you’ve gotten to know me, and chances are, I don’t know you, but I don’t mind that.
