Take a peek into my world-- through the glasses of wonder and mystery

Family

Here are some people who are related to me, or whatever...I'm just kidding. I coul never ask for a better family. Some of us get a little intense sometimes, but when it comes down to it, family's all you've really got.

Mom=Julie. Most empathetic person I've ever met in the world. For real. She feels sorry for everyone.

Dad=Harlan. This guy works harder than anyone. Don't argue with me on this; it's unreal. Also, he survived a heart attack so, yeah, he's kind of a beast.

Sister=Emily. She recently got married and now is in grad school, soon to become the world's greatest PA.

Brother=Joe. Joe is by far the most intelligent person I've ever encountered, as well as the best pitcher I've ever seen in high school baseball. He is now a senior in college, and even plays for their baseball team. I'm assuming in about fifteen years he will be the president of the United States of America. He doesn't mess around.

Brother=Zach. Zachary has a personality too big for any room to hold. I'm serious he's got personality and charisma for days. In addition, he is an exquisite musician and will probably play the piano at Joe's inauguration.

Dislikes(in order from okay-ish to diabolical)

  1. Brown Rice

  2. Mushy Bananas

  3. Rice Crispies with no gosh dang sugar

  4. Fast and Furious movies...dude they're all the same. Somebody please agree with me.

  5. Printers. Literally, I have never had a printer work successfully the first time, that I can remember.

  6. Getting hungry at another person's house. Maybe I'm just super awkward but it is a legitimate struggle for me to voice my needs when I am at another individual's living space. Sue me, okay? I'm dumb.

  7. Crocks. Shoes with holes? Super annoying SQUEAKY SHOES WITH HOLES? Last time I wore crocks was when I was about five, and let me tell you something I got two blisters the size of nickels and you want to know something? They hurt pretty dad gum diddily dang bad.

  8. Condescending people.

  9. Web design. This is destroying my individuality, coupled with my will to come to this God-forsaken slab of cement we call school.

  10. People who think the plular form of "octopus" is "octopi". I am not playing. I will lose my cool.

Hobbies

Here are some things I enjoy doing in my spare time--actually, not all of them are things I enjoy. I just do them because that's what my brothers did :)

In my spare time, which of course of have none of, I DO the following:

  • I work at a local grocery store. Aside from acquiring very few hours due to my constant athletics, the experience is bomb and I enjoy what I do, to a certain extent.

  • I do a lot of writing. I have written several short stories, and one "novel" 146 pages long in size 12 calibri font, 1.5 spaced. It is one of my only accomplishments I am proud of.

  • Playing video games is something I find fun. However, Mom doesn't let me play violent games so pretty much I play Pac-Man and stuff. You know. Retro. It allows some scope for the imagination, I suppose.

  • Baseball and Basketball take up a huge portion of my life.

  • Marine biology has always been fascinating to me, so it's not a rare occurence to find me with my nose in science books over the watery world. I don't particularly enjoy fishing, but I love watching and observing (not experimenting on!) the specimens caught.

  • Spending time with my siblings...I have learned a TON from my brothers, from philosophy to physical care and training. Together, we "coined" the phrase:

    • "It my not seem like it be...but it do."

  • Driving literally anywhere in my '02 Chevy Cavalier is one of my favorite things to do. In the driver's seat of my "whip,"the world is mine, and the road's my ticket out of here. I'm still chasing that sunset.

  • Okay so one of my hobbies to to do dumb things to people I interact with on a daily basis in order to leave a mark on society. For example, whenever I drive through McDonald's, and the person at the window goes "Here you go, have a great day." I don't respond with "You too." I do this: "No, I hope YOU have a great day." Maybe I'm just dumb. I don't really know. They always look at me funny. I should probably stop that.

  • I love rollerblading. Yeah, I know that's a girly thing and pretty hard to do in a town with two sidewalks, but I'm not going to lie to you, I think it's really fun. Dad doesn't think so, but you know what? I bet Christopher Robin's dad didn't like him playing with his stuffed animals but he touched a bazillion lives. Bad anology? Yeah, probably.

Goals

To one day respond to the drive-thru worker at McDonald's: "Have a McGreat day."
