I'm eighteen and will be attending Boston College come September. The college process wasn't nearly as stressful for me as it was for other people. I'm smart. I'm happy I'm smart. I don't know what I'd do otherwise. Dad wasn't particularly keen on the idea of my attending Boston College, as it was his rival school as a lad, but he's much more accepting of the fact now.

I like my parents a lot. Of course, I didn't always--evidence of such can be found in the numerous early entries within the catacombs of this website. But now that we've all, for the most part, gotten over our respective depressions, we like each other very much. Some might argue that I've got the greatest parents around. I've also got a very, very funny brother, the funniest person I know. I just got him a guinea pig.

Speaking of pets, I've got a fair few. I've got a German Shepherd named Greta; she's somewhat of a dolt; we call her Wup. I have three cats, but they're not the same ones I had for most of my life; indeed, Kibby ran away over a year ago and never came back. After nine months we adopted my former English teacher's cat, Nezzetto; he's now joined Bitsm and Cozmo. Cats are my favorite. We also have three rabbits: Mama, Papa, and Cocoa Bean; there used to be a Honey Bunny but she died this past winter.

My psychologist said to me last Thursday, "It disappoints me that you don't want to be a writer." It's not that I don't. I'll write. I'll always write, I like it well enough. But here is my problem with being a writer: it takes forever to write something good, and my creativity dries up much too quickly. I would be a starving artist and I never, ever want to get to that point. Fortunately, I'm quite good at the grammar side of English, so I would like to be an editor. Imagine that, working at some publishing house, telling the next J.K. Rowling that she's got a pot of gold in these words and then being responsible for the next big thing in books? Imagine that? Yeah.

I love Harry Potter. I'm all about Harry Potter. Ask me anything, I study at the Lexicon. Aside from Harry Potter trivia, I also have a lot other talents. I play the saxophone, the guitar, the violin. I act. I knit. I play Sims. Actually, that's about it. Until the eighth grade I was a basketball superstar. I could get by in the other sports. In fact, I can pretty much be good at anything I try. I just stopped trying, that's all.

I still have a bald Cabbage Patch Kid named Millie Charmaine, to whom I used to feed cream of wheat, which I called nanas. I don't dress well. I predict that I will have an identity crisis in my first year of college. I watch so much TV it's ridiculous. I love Ellen DeGeneres.
