ACHTUNG! This post defines tl;dr, proceed with caution. There will be a light reception served afterwards, accompanied by a summary for those who are too "busy" to read this.
I'm big on music, Jazz especially. I've been taking private piano lessons since I was five or six, I've been singing (in church, school choir, etc.) practically my whole life, took up trombone in early 5th grade.
Now I'm a freshie in High School and I'm still loving what I do, though I'm not quite sure if I can put my finger on what it is that I do. I'm really a Jack-of-all-trades. I tend to chill with some of my rather unpopular friends, but I can blend in many places because of my wide variety of interests. (I'm also really into Cross-Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track. A hugely diverse variety of people compete in these so I have acquaintances from all kinds of social groups.) Jocks, nerds, punks, I know 'em all, though I'm not outstandingly popular with any of them. I'm just a nondescript gentleman who's there one second and isn't the next. It's nice to know everyone (ain't never had a real girlfriend, though).
Also, I tend to enjoy sparking debates (the civilized kind, not flamewars. Those require no real-world knowledge whatosever, so it's no fun.) It might be a fault, but that's debatable, and I would gladly argue you over it (and many other things) any day
. It seems to have actually helped in the past.
Take, for example, one of my best friends. We'll call him X. X is an atheist. X is as far-left as you can go without falling off of the Earth. X is literally a Communist. I am a Christian, comfortably situated about 75% to the right of the center line, so you can see where conflicts could potentially arise. We both love to disagree as much as we love to agree, so it's fun for both parties (except him. I prove him wrong every time, so he's decided to quit and never debate anything with me ever again
.)
Enough of that, you're obviously quite wearied of my monologue by now. (Who the heck reads this stuff, anyway? Apparently, you do. Pat yourself on the back and fetch yourself a cookie for being one of the few people who gives a crap.)
I'm in all Honors classes, best subjects are definitely science and math. Math is like a game to me, I guess. You'll NEVER need to know most of the things they teach you unless you plan on going into particle physics (I've considered it. It's up there with Human Behavioral Studies), but they make you learn the stuff and they test you on it anyway, so it is kind of like a game in a way. It helps your brain grow and become better at other things because of all the logic that's involved, so that's a plus, too.
I like science because it helps explain all of the things that my overly-curious mind has been pondering since birth, and it involves plenty of critical thinking; most questions can be thought through and solved with only the knowledge of a few elementary principles that apply to everything.
I'm about 5' 9" or 10", about 128.5 lbs as of a few days ago. I have totally awesome red hair (that's why my avatar is Poddo atm). I'm slight-yet-muscular and both agile and somewhat tough because of this. Have glasses, probably getting contacts as soon as I get a good job.
I do Boy Scouts, though I haven't had much time or money so I can't do a lot with them. I absolutely adore biking and swimming as well. And pogo stick-ing. And playing basketball. And shooting hoops basketball while going no-hands on a pogo stick. That last one is rather difficult. I have a Ripstik too, though it hasn't seen much use this winter.
So yeah, that's basically my spiel, not much more to say. If you actually read the whole thing, I salute you.
Summary: 5'9"-ish 128-lb redhead, love music, social chameleon, lots of sports, rolling stone, good grades, like debates, christian conservative, SCIENCE.
Teensy-tiny summary: I'm a weird kid and I love it.
