I'm fifteen, a true teenager, yet not like most these days. I enjoy reading, creative writing, designing (clothes, websites, and architecture mostly), and "people watch." I'm a wannabe psychologist, and a part-time wannabe writer. I'm interested in the media like film and theater, but I think it's just because of what I write being played through my head like a movie.

I'd like to think I'm good at acting, but I'm really shy and such an introvert. Not that that has any real problems, but I also have a horrible memory for the things that are important, so I'd be no good at acting. I'd also like to think I'm good at photography, but it's a complete lie. I have a good eye for artwork, but not for creating masterpieces.

I like grammar, even though I still have a lot to learn and memorize. I'm very tech savvy for someone my age, and am very proud of it (despite not being recognized for it at school like my friends).

Japanese culture (including anime and manga) is very interesting. I enjoy the entertainment and the media, and their style of doing things is extremely interesting. I wouldn't call it wierd, just intriguing and something that I would very much like to get into.

Back here in North America, I'm much of a geek. I love video games, can be known as an "otaku" of my genres, and love the eccentric. Antiques, European history, and the human mind are the types of things I like.

My food choices are a bit estranged. Vanilla and chocolate chip. Banana ice cream. Chocolate cream cake (made by a nearby bakery). Pasta. Candy. Cheesies. Cheese. Pizza. Sun chips. Steam cake (made by my Grandma). And dark chocolate. I'm fond of vegetables such as peppers, brussels sprouts, cabbage as long as it's not coleslaw, and broccoli.

I love animals, but when I'm bored I tend to torture insects and plants. When I'm bored I can also tend to talk to a misunderstood maple leaf that I can relate to (except, it's just a leaf, so in reality there's nothing to relate to).

I don't particularlly "feel sorry for myself." I can say, "Oh, my life sucks. I wish it were better. I want this, I want that," and etc., but that won't change anything. Over the past few months, I feel like I've somewhat grown up, not into an adult, but finally a teenager.
