1. I love collecting things. I usually only collect something for a few months, or maybe a year or two, before collecting something else. When I was little, I collected pins. Then it was stuffed pink poodles (I was a strange child...), then these flat little shells that I called pancake periwinkles, and last year it was Snapple caps and troll dolls. All Snapple caps have a random fact on the bottom of them, and that's how I ended up learning a bunch of weird stuff. I have hundreds of them, though. The trolls dolls I started collecting because my mom had a few very old ones. I loved them immediately, and started buying more off of Ebay. I have over 30 right now. I think they are just so cool.
2. I'm kind of OCD about my bedroom. If someone touches something on my desk or night stand, I have to move it. Even if it didn't move, I feel compelled to move it back to it's original position. My mom thinks I'm insane because of this.
3. I love dangly, funky earrings. And I tend to play with them a lot when I get bored at school.
4. I have a small green clock in my room that I am freakishly protective of. The alarm on it doesn't even work, and there isn't really anything special about it, but I will not let anyone get rid of it, or touch it. At night when I can't go to sleep, I pace my breathing to it's ticking. That clock is just so dang important to me.
5. I love traveling. I know, that may not sound that random, but it is. Let me explain. For Christmas a few years back, I got the book A Thousand Places to See Before You Die. I read and read and read through it, marking all of the coolest places. Now, whenever someone mentions something even mildly related to a different country, I blurt out several facts about things you can do there, how to get there, or what's special about the hotels there. I know that in the Lesser Antilles you can swim with manta rays that have wing spans of up to 12 feet, and in Canada you can take 11 day treks in the tundra to look at polar bears. I know that Dubai has the world's only "seven star" hotel, and that the Salvador Dali museum in Spain is insanely weird. Traveling is something I have always loved, and I hope to travel to as many places across the world as I can.
I believe by now I have proved what a strange person I am, and I've also run out of weird obsessions to write about. I'm just an odd person, and I like it that way.
Now, onto the normal!
1. I play tennis and volleyball.
2. I am very focused on doing well in school, so I can get into Harvard and then Harvard Med. and become a pediatric hematologist.
3. I am a huge book worm, especially for fantasy.
4. I love hanging out with my friends, and will miss them terribly next year when I go to private school and they are all elsewhere.
5. I have only been writing novels for a year or two, but have been writing poetry and short stories since I was about four or five.
And... that's about it. Hope you enjoyed.
