I am in 11th grade (high school junior) and I'm home schooled.
My family includes my Mom, Dad, oldest sister (Jessica, 22), second oldest sister (Katie, 21), younger sister (Anna, 13), younger brother (Samuel, 12)
My favorite colors are green, black, silver, blue and purple.
My favorite seasons are Summer and Fall.
My favorite movies are The Princess Bride, DragonHeart (but not the sequel!), Inception, How To Train Your Dragon, Tangled, Megamind, and Toy Story 1, 2, and 3.
My favorite television shows are Doctor Who (long live the Whovians!), Merlin, Phineas and Ferb, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and some different Anime shows (though not many because it’s hard to find anything clean…)
My favorite books are Dragons in our Midst (series), Oracles or Fire (series), Children of the Bard (series), Dragons of Starlight/Tales of Starlight (series) (all of those are by Bryan Davis), The Chronicles of Narnia (series by C.S Lewis), Percy Jackson and the Olympians (series by Rick Riordan), Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath (trilogy by Cornelia Funke), The Tale of Despereaux (by Kate DiCamillo), Harry Potter 1-7 (by J.K. Rowling), and The Inheritance series (by Christopher Poalini).
Books that I want to read are The Hunger Games trilogy (by Suzanne Collins), Echoes from the Edge trilogy (by Bryan Davis), The Lord of the Rings trilogy (by J. R. R. Tolkien), and many others!
My favorite video games are Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 (PS2), Eragon (PS2), The Hobbit (PS2), Pokemon (Gameboy Advanced. Currently playing Fire Red version), World Of Warcraft (online) and Neopets (online…not technically a video game but it doesn’t fit anywhere else.)
My hobbies are reading, writing, going to youth group, hanging out with friends and family, playing video games, and drawing manga.
Other random things about me: I am what my older sister, Katie, calls a genork (a combination of geek, nerd, and dork) as you can tell from everything listed above.
As mentioned before I love writing and I am currently working on a modern-fantasy novel (which should eventually become a series if I can ever finish the first book) that I hope to publish! I haven’t had much of a chance to write since school started but I’m okay with that as long as I make up for it this November during NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month: http://www.nanowrimo.org/ ).
I’ve been trying to teach myself how to draw manga but I haven’t drawn much of anything since summer because we've been busy helping my sister get moved out and because of school.
I also have had an interest recently in making Japanese food (so far I’ve made Japanese style hamburgers and Miso soup).
I really enjoy acting and have been in two plays: The Importance of Being Ernest (I played Aunt Augusta) and Arsenic and Old Lace (I played Elaine Harper). In the spring I’m going to try out for a musical in our area.
Because of my love for writing, acting, and movies I hope to become a film director one day and I want go to college to study film (I just don’t know where yet…). I also want to be able to write and direct (and maybe even act in) my own movies.
Well, I think I've given as much info of myself as I can. Here are some pictures from this Summer!

This was in the airport before we got on the plane that would take us to Portugal before we headed to Spain for World Youth Day.

Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw! We're nerdy and proud of it!
