We shall start off with the description of my family and friends! I was adopted at birth into a family with my parents, Bety and Ernie, and my brother, Dan. We live in a small blue house with our cats Ginger and Oreo, and enjoy watching Woody Allen comedies together. Days spent with my family are usually good ones. They have most certainly shaped me into the person I am today, but my friends have more so. I have a variety of different friends from different towns, different states, and different cliques. Most of them have different cultures, religions, and opinions than my own, so I'm constantly surprised by the new things I learn. The majority of the activities I partake in with my friends are Jones runs, laser tagging, movies, and pure, sweet randomness.
The second most important thing to describing me are my interests! My main passions are dancing, singing, and acting. I adore preforming in school musicals and plays and have also done shows outside of town. Besides my three main "subjects", I also have my side hobbies. I enjoy cup stacking, laser tagging, baking, and taking long walks on the beach. My faith is something that is also very important to me. My music tastes range from the indie sounds of Ingrid Michelson to the soothing sounds of Hall & Oats. But one thing I'm sure many of you know that you shouldn't get me started on is the subject of film. I could go on for paragraphs, but I'll try to make it brief. My favorite director is Darren Aronofsky (Pi, The Fountain, Requiem For a Dream). I believe that film has one of the highest influences on our public-- much more than people realize. I'm not a fan of comedies, but am mesmerized by the sight of a great black and white film (It Happened One Night, Casablanca). Furthermore, I enjoy reading non fiction books. My favorite writer being Chuck Klosterman, who writes humorous essays on pop culture (Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs). I could go on and on, but I'm sure you're starting to snore already.
And finally-- my goals. You will find that I constantly have short term goals that I long to achieve. Most recently there was beat boxing, and now I long to learn to play the guitar and to skateboard. While these goals are slightly childish, I do strive for some pretty great things. I dream of going to Global College through Long Island University, where I will study comparative religion, English, and global studies. Global College is where I would change centers every year. My first year would be spent in India, my second in Australia, so on and so forth. This is the main goal I'm focusing on right now, but in the long term I hope to either be a Catholic Missionary or a Religion/English Teacher. I hope to do anything to achieve these goals, especially the skateboarding one.
The final truth is yes-- I have confused a dream with life, I've never stolen something, I have indeed been blue, and I always think my train's moving when it's standing still. I might be a little crazy, but mostly I'm just a girl...that is excited to start blogging for AP Comp. :)
