Info about the creator...

     -About me:  I am 14 years old, and a freshman at Aiken High School.  I am in the band, playing String Bass in the wind ensemble (contradiction in terms...) and I play percussion in the marching band.  I also play the violin, and the electric piano and recorder by ear.  I am also a singer.  I have my own view towards life, especially influenced by the books I read; I believe in things because they make sense to me, or because I think life could be better if they were true.

    -Looks ... I am 5'1", with brown hair and expressive brown eyes.  Here is a picture of me, but you still can't see what I really look like...

    -Family ... I have one brother, Chris, who is a senior at Galloway.  He is 17, and reeeeally cool.  I live with my Mom and stepdad, and I love it.  My mom was pregnant, and the baby was just born November eighth, at 12:16 PM.  She is a girl, and her name is Cassia Rachel.  I am so excited, and I love her already. :)
As a sort of update, she recently had her first birthday, and she's walking, goo-gooing, and being an all-around cutie-pie.  ;)

    -Animals ... I have one dog, Lily, a Miniature Schnauzer.  I have one horse, Cheyanne, a palomino quarterhorse.  We used to own Roman Spy, a dark brown Quarterhorse/Thoroughbred, and we kept a blood-bay Hannavarian, named Alverson. I have a goat, Billy, who is a fainting goat (if you scare him real bad, he paralizes himself... not the best defense mechanism... :) ), and we have one striped grey American Short-hair cat named Tigger.  We also have a yellow long-hair named Fluffy (aka Yellowkitty).  I also have one macaw, Boomerang, a blue and goldI will have pics of them all soon... Well, maybe not..

    -Friends ... My best friend is Heather, who lives in Pensacola, Florida.  She is a great person whom I don't get to see very often, and I miss her.  Friends that I have who live here, in South Carolina, are: Katie (aka Frelist), Susan (aka Rimrockias), Michelle, Nina, Ashley, Elizabeth, Kirsten, oh, there're a lot of them too.  :)

My Favorites...

Animals:  I like almost all animals; all dogs, all cats, etc.. But if I were an animal, I would want to be a giraffe   because I feel like I was one in a past life (I feel short all the time, like my legs aren't used to being so restricted or something...)

States (that I've been to): Oklahoma- nice people, great schools; Georgia- I spent most of my life there, off and on; South Carolina- how could you diss the state you live in?; Utah- great slopes; Florida- nice ways to avoid boredom: amusement parks, cruises, you get the drift.

mac 'n cheese, sushi, etc.

Candies: I like Mr Goodbar, Hershey's Chocolate in any shape, form, or fashion, SweetTarts, and really sour things (Tear Jerkers, Sour Patch Kids, etc.)

Activities:  I hate to admit it, of course, but (Katie, you were right,) I'm addicted to a certain Role-Playing genre of games on the Internet, called MOOs (which are: Multi-user Object Oriented Dimensional Gaming Systems... In short, you create a character, and live out their life in a different world).  The ones I participate on are all on the planet Pern, created by Anne McCaffrey, a genius in the world of Science Fiction.  They include:  VirtuaPern, Star Stones, Harper's Tale, and DragonsFire.

Supernatural beings: I really love reading about and hearing about supernatural (i.e. abnormal) beings, occurances, etc., and among my favorites are: Anne Rice's Vampires, Anne McCaffrey's Dragons, any mention of witchcraft or magic, telepathy, telekinesis, the Force, and things like that.

Dreams: My dreams are to be a writer, a singer, and an actor (one at a time or all at once!).  I want to take a masters degree in fine arts.  I feel that if I had a chance, I could make it big in any of these areas.
Of course, that's what they all say.  My only qualm with the movie Titanic is that it has already been made, so I can't be in it.  (I would have settled at being a maid or a drowning extra...:)
