I am the third child of four. My older brother and sister are twins so I consider myself a middle child.

I am your average teenager who has many intrests. I love to write (or in LJ's case, type) about my life or have a recording of my life so I can look back at what I've accomplished. In other words, I like to look at what I've done so far with scrap books, plaques, or awards in general. I also like to hear what people have to say about me.

I am in the scouting program and am at the Life rank. I have thirteen merit badges. I am a bugler for troop 105. Obviously, that would have to mean I play trumpet. I have been playing trumpet for six years. I also taught myself how to play piano. I'm not great, but people that have taken lessons for four or five years say I am better than them.

I am in High School and was nominated Student of The Month for November last year. I was also on the track team for my school.

We have 5 computers in our house; all of them are macs from the old G3 towers to the 23" inch displays with the old powerbook laptop to the new 20" iMac Core 2 Duo with iSight. I have had two iPods in the past- a first generation iPod shuffle with the USB cap and I currently have a (PRODUCT) red iPod Nano (4GB). I don't know what I'd do without it.

I am really into the Nintendo systems. We've had a Nintendo 64, Gameboy color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, and Gamecube. I have a crimson and black Nintendo DS Lite and a Wii.

I can make some icons and do some stuff with Photoshop. I make it a point to credit people when I take icons; I also usually leave a comment. I'd prefer if you comment and credit me on any entry. I'll be notified on which entry. If you don't want to leave a comment, please at least credit me. I hate it when I see a person who has failed to credit someone, especially when it's me.

In my spare time, recording music via Garageband on our Mac takes a lot of my time along with just being on the computer. I enjoy playing Badminton and intend to be on the team for my highschool this year.

And to finish, here's some of my favorite quotes. Some of these I found by myself, but most I found off my family's profiles.

"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Whenever I hear someone sigh, 'Life is hard', I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'”-Sydney Harris

"The man that asks a question is only a fool for a moment. The man that doesn’t ask a question is a fool forever."- Anonymous

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal- a commitment to excellence- that will enable you to attain the success you seek."- Mario Andretti

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."- Helen Keller

"The way I see it is if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.- Dolly Parton

"Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting."- Christopher Morley

"When you can have anything you want by uttering a few words, the goal matters not, only the journey to it."- Eldest Pg. 442

"You are remembered for what you do say, not what you don't."- Anonymous

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."- Jimi Hendrix

"Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."- Will Rogers

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us, but by the attitude we bring to life."- Anonymous

"There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish. The thing is to try to do as much as you can in the time that you have. Remember... time is short, and suddenly, you're not here any more..."-Anonymous

"No one can honestly say that one person is normal compared to someone else because we're all different."-Gatorbuoy, 2007
