Interesting Facts about Myself

 

• I have a fascination with the medical field. I worked in a hospital over the summer.
• I love science.
• I never wear jeans like Scott Westerfeld. No, I’m not joking.
• I don’t like large crowds.
• I’m photophobic.
• I love to take pictures.
• I belong to the group of misfits, outcasts, and/or unpopular people that can’t be labeled with a stereotype. People think we are Goth. We aren’t although we wear a lot of black. ;)
• I ran for Student Council President of my school last year even though I’m a shy, non-outgoing person and recruited my friends to run for Secretary and VP. We lost because at our school it is a popularity contest. They voted the people back in that they have complained for years don’t do anything and then complained they were put back in. I’m not even exaggerating. They really did. Anyway, my friends and I started a revolution and all the unpopular people ran against the popular ones that had never had competition before so you can start something. Although I think we lost because so many people were running. Oh, well. I’m not afraid of giving public speeches anymore.
• I’m not athletic what so ever.
• My friends think I’m too quiet and tell me everyday. My family thinks I talk too much and tells me everyday.
• All authority figures at my school find me trustworthy and responsible, like me, are on a first name basis with me, and know I always do my homework. Don’t dare call me a suck-up under your breath!
• Most people who see me without my friends are surprised I hang out with them. They don’t expect me to be in the group I am.
• Some people assume I am religious because I’m nice and quiet. I’m not really religious at all. I attend Catholic, Mormon, Lutheran, or Christian churches whenever my family or friends invite me. I’m not picky and I don’t like to choose sides. Just be whatever you want to be as long as you’re happy and don’t try to convert others (that’s what annoys me).
• I want to be an author, school counselor, or a teacher when I grow up.
• I know some Sign Language.
• I have never had a boyfriend or been kissed in the romantic sense although I’m sixteen and a hopeless romantic.
• I am extremely complex and my mind always running off in thousands of different directions at once. If you find it please return it, I need it for school.
• Almost everyone who has met me in person thinks I’m smart. I don’t think I am.
• F7 on the computer is my best friend. I spell well when my dyslexia isn’t kicking in and when I spell out loud I have to SIGN the letters in Sign Language to say the right letter otherwise I spell it wrong even though it’s right in my head.
• I have a fondness for the underdogs.

 

Now that you have skimmed through this you probably think I’m weird. I am. It’s okay. Don’t let that stop you from reading my stories.
