I'm in a funky mood, so I thought I'd post somerandom information about me. I'm sure I've already sharedalot of this, but oh well...
-I'm 16 years old
-My parents separated when I was six, but didn't become divorced until last year.
-I still don't have my driver's licence. I'm one more drivinglesson away from getting it, but then I have to pass thetest.
-I've gone to Catholic schools since Kindergarten. I went toa Presbyterian pre school. I'm now a Junior in an all-girls,Catholic high school of 425 girls. I love it.
-I'm also an altar server, I have been since I was in 6th grade, and a leader in my Church's confirmation class.
-I also volunteer at my local animal shelter whenever I can -it's anobsession- and my mom and I volunteer with a hospice program, thoughright now we don't havea patient to visit.
-I have an animal obsession, and I make great animal noises.
-My favorite food is our family friend who is also a chef's chocolate mousse.
-I'm incredibly shy. I never really had any friends untilmidway through my freshman year of highschool. I think that'spartially because I look for people like me- smart enough not to makestupid mistakes.
-I don't do drugs, drink, smoke, etc. I've chosen friends whodon't either, so I have absolutely no desire to. I do,however, have a strangely large amount of knowledge about alcohol, forsomeone who doesn't drink it, due to my father's love of German beerand our chef/friend's love of wine and cognac.
-I've never had a boyfriend, haven't kissed a guy, and have no desire to do either.
-I can't dance, don't watch much tv, and listen to music no one else-my age- seems to listen to: Don Ho, Rolling Stones, Silbermond, O-Zone,etc.
-On my mom's side of the family, I have 3 cousins : Amanda-26, engaged,Becky-25, married w/ 2 kids, and Carlena-22 and and 2 step-cousinsAustin-18, and Logan-16 (my mom's deceased step father's son's kids)-all girls. We don't see the step cousins ever since mystep-grandfather died, though they went/go to school very close tomine. Both of them were exceptional tennis players.Two of my other cousins did pageants.
-On my dad's side of the family I have four cousins- all boys: Myaunt's kids: Billy-27 and married now, Shaun- 20, and My Uncle's kids:Michael Jr.- 20- just joined the French foreign legion on a 5 yearcontract, If he finishes up this final week, he'll be through, andMatt- 18. We haven't seen any of them since my grandma diedof cancer in 2001. After that, my dad and his siblings gotinto a big fight over the money and the house, which we just sold overthe summer, finally, and we're no longer allowed to talk to myaunt.
-I was e-mailing and talking to my cousin Michael since last summer,until he moved to France, and he was supposed to visit over the summer,but he was no longer allowed to after my dad's girlfriend Tam's oldestson, Dayton,was diagnosed with Lupus, and not doingwell. I was really disappointed, and I have a feeling that-even though I shouldn't- I will always blame Dayton for my not gettingto see my cousin. Partially because I'm worried that he won'tcome back.
-The last thing we heard of Billy, he got married over thesummer. I saw him while we were cleaning out my grandma'shouse. Famous last words: "give me a hug because I probablywon't ever see you again" that still makes me cry whenever I thinkabout it. I don't see how 3 adults can do that to their kids,even if most of them are older. (I'm the youngest of all mycousins).
-Last we heard of Shaun, he was going through AA with his stepdad. My technical uncle, Bill, who I never met, used to repowith my dad, then joined the Hell's Angels. There's a greatstory about him hiding some stolen weapons in my aunt's house, then sheturned them in to the police. He has since died.
-We have a 356 Porsche Carrera Speedster in our garage that my dadoringinally restored with his dad, a German guy intensly into Germancars, that has supposedly been our summer project ever since.When my dad's dad died, all of his porsche's- except this one, weredonated to a museum. A guy who was a friend of his just wrotea book of 356 literature and dedicated it to my grandfather.
-My mom's dad died when she was 4. My dad's dad died when mydad was in college. Both of my grandmothersremarried. Both of those husbands and one of my grandmothershave since died.
Okay, I'll stop and go to sleep now.
. And I really like the new set up - looks like they do too!
