ME? You want to know about me? You, my dear, have problems. *grin* But I'll indulge you, just this once.
I'm sixteen, live in Southern California, and am a junior in a public high school. (I think the "public" part of that is my problem half the time *L*) I'm blonde, 5'6", and have weird blue-green eyes. I've got about a million nicknames...among the acceptable ones are Beth, Bethy, Bethy Anne, Not Liz Dammit, Fish, Fishie, Miss Mellophone, and Queen of the Pen.
Sports-wise, I swim. I swim lots. I'm no Olympian, but I am approaching Junior Nationals. My high school coach is trying to turn me into a water polo player, too. The horror! My events, for swimming, are the 50 free, 100 free, 100 fly, and (*gasp*) 200 fly. I doubt my times would be of interest to you, so I won't bother posting them. Unless I actually get around to adding a swimming section to this page. In water polo, I don't play any particular position. I'm fast, so I just swim all over the place. I'm much better on defense than offense, though. *L* I don't play any other sports unless I have to, partly because of my evil asthma.
I love to read. I've been a bookworm since kindergarten. As my mother is so fond of saying, I took to books like a duck takes to water. My tastes are pretty broad, though my personal collection is mostly fantasy, with a bit of science fiction. Authors? There's an awful lot. Patricia McKillip, Robin McKinley, the ever-wonderful Tolkien, A. A. Attanasio, Charles de Lint, and many, many others. I've also starting reading a lot of poetry...favorites include W. B. Yeats, Poe, cummings, Robert Frost, and any other scrap of verse that my chlorinated brain takes a liking to.
I am addicted to music. Completely, totally, hopelessly addicted and I like it that way. I play French horn and piano...occasionally a bit of trumpet, too. My listening tastes are pretty broad, also. I don't much care for rap, sorry, but go for everything from alternative rock to New Age. My favorites include: Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Dave Matthews Band, Matchbox 20, Blessid Union of Souls, GooGoo Dolls, Secret Garden, Loreena McKennitt, Bill Douglas, and many, many more...
Lala...what else? Oh, yes...I RP (roleplay, for the unenlightened) on WBS, in the room Dragonhold. My characters are all fantasy, as you might have guessed from my stories...in fact, most of the characters from my stories were also my RPing characters. *wavies to the DH crew* Love you all! Wheee! *L*
Anything more you need to know? 'cause, if so...you can just mail me, for heaven's sake...*G* Laters!
