Hi. My name is Isaiah and I am 10 years old. I have a big brother named Elijah who is 13 1/2 years old and a brother named Joshua. I also have a baby sister named Angelina. For pets, I have two cats, Artemis and Blackie. And now I finally have a puppy too! She is a purebred collie named Amethyst (Amey). We kept changing it before it became Amey. First she was Jolie...and then she was Colleen, Cindi, Jenna, Roxy, Kitty, and Tanni.
I like to eat a lot but I am very picky about what I eat. My mom never knows what I like because I keep changing it. The only meats I eat are pepperoni and bacon. I also like bagels and cream cheese, toast, pancakes and pizza. I won't eat much else. It drives my mom nuts as she worries about my health. Whenever I eat artificial products like food colours or flavours I turn into a "psycho" so my mother has banned those things from our pantry.
I am in Grade Five now. However, I do not go to public school anymore. We do activities together at home and go out to places like the library and the Science Centre. Some people call it homeschooling but it is more like "unschooling" as the method lacks structure. I just can't handle structure. We have been told that I won't be able to fit into "society" when I get older if I am not institutionalized now, but my mom doesn't seem to think I will never fit in anyway so why fight it. Guess I am special!
My favourite games to play are army games. I like to dress up as a soldier and run around and shoots things and blow things up! Woo hoo!
My favourite colours are green, orange and yellow. I like lots of greens but ARMY green is cool! I fit size 10 still for pants but size 12/large for shirts. I am so skinny that I can't wear the bigger pants yet. Mom can only buy pants with elastic waists or they fall down! I have big feet though. I wear the same size boots as my mom!
I like to play Runescape whenever I can. I am a member! I also like Dungeons and Dragons. We are planning an overnight game outside with costumes and everything for spring. We already got our tent ready to set up (I know it is still 6 months away but I am excited!)
