Okay, I lost my old "About the Authors" thread, so I'm starting a new one. ^.^

***WARNING: BRAGGING ALERT!***

I was born in Ireland and raised in the United States, and now I can't wait to get out. I'm going to travel all over the world to all these amazing, wonderful places, and I'm going to have the best time. Of that, I am certain. I've already been to Spain twice, Italy, Costa Rica and Mexico one time each, and Ireland numerous times, since I still have family over there and all.

I am in theater, I fence, and I dance four days a week. I'm a lefty, so that comes in handy in fencing. I love theater, and I got the part of understudy for the lead in our fall play, which is practically unheard of at our school. I love to dance, though I know I'm no good; it's just a hobby, I'm not plannin of making a career out of it or anything.

I am funny, but I only know how to be funny around people I know. Before I know a person well, I'm generally nice and open, but I don't really show much else, though I don't know why that happens.

I love Spanish and Geography, though I hate my Spanish and Geography teachers. I love adventure, but I don't know what to do with it when it is dropped in my lap. I keep things for forever, long past when they are useful. I'm friends with boys, but I haven't had boyfriends.

I ... um ... my family:

My mom is very nice, but has an eccentric sense of humor that is, in fact, not that funny. She's the one that introduced me to travel and Spanish, though, and I do love her dearly. I'm told I look exactly like her, though I can only dream of being that pretty.

My dad is 100% Irish, and is sarcastic and funny, and doesn't conform to fashion or society, and I am deeply grateful for him teaching me that at an early age. (My mom loves clothes and fashion, though she isn't a social drone either.)

My personality is a mix of these two: I have a bizarre sense of humor, but I don't fly in the highest social circles and I generally don't care for looking or sounding like everyone else. I'm about 90% Irish and probably not even 5% Czech, and yet I look positively Bohemian. Figures.

My sisters are boring, jockish, and conformists. They emulate 50cent. I think I've said everything about them that needs to be said.

I am highly competitive, am a vegitarian, love chocolate, and like to write poetry.

I applaud you to no end if you have managed to read this far. Here's a cookie.

Any and all questions are welcome.

Yeah, that's what I've been told. And I'm starting to realize it myself: I'm right-handed. How long have you been fencing?

Eew, 50cent? Are they mad???

And, hello. :) You sound pretty interesting, as do your parents. Nonconformists to fashion are rare, and it's always so refreshing to meet one. :) Give your dad a hug for being cool.

And, fencing! Wow! I used to fence, but the teacher was idiotic so I quit.

Yeah.

And thank you muchly for the cookie. 'Twas yummy.

Peace, love, chocolate.

Skye,

What kind of dance? I did tap and ballet when I was little, and then I did Irish Dance for 10 years or so. Oooh, Ireland is one of my favorite countries to visit. I love it there. Also, most of my ancestors were Irish.

:P
