About me

Hello.
My name is Erika. I was in the 3U English class last year. Here's a few things about me that you may not know, and some that you might know already.
Dan Mangan - Jeopardy

Dan Mangan.

Amazing.

Dan is one of my favoured artists right now. I think he's the first artist that I have listened to more than one album. I currently own two of his albums, Nice, Nice, Very Nice, and Oh Fortune. I love the style of music he creates. It doesn't sound like conventional music, he throws different sounds and attitudes into his songs. His music is very catchy to me and I feel I need to listen to the song over and over to learn the words because he makes me want to sing along with him. 

Something you know - I love to sing. I will sing anywhere, work, shopping, in the halls at school, etc. I like trying to perfect the sound of my voice in songs. I actually don't know what it is I like about singing so much, I just hear a song and do it. It pulls me into the song and makes me able to feel an emotion to what I'm listening to. I usually don't plan it. It just happens, and I catch myself singing in the middle of a song. I guess it's a kind of unconscious reaction.

Harry Potter.

Beautifully written.

I love the Harry Potter series. I love the books that I've read, and the movies I've watched. I've been to the exhibit that was at the science centre, I've also been to Florida at Universal's Harry Potter World, and I've been to England to the Warner Brothers studio tour. I don't think there's anything I hate about Harry Potter except that there's not more. Jk Rowling's writing is captivating to read, I could sit there for hours reading the things she's written.

Demography

Age: 17

Gender: Female

I tend to believe that I have an old soul. I don't understand teenagers, or like their general decisions. I tend to think about how the things I do now will affect my future. Example: partying. I attended a normal(?) teenager party, and wanted to leave 10 minutes after being there. I don't understand why people drink alcohol; it doesn't taste good, it smells awful, it alters how you think and the choices you make, if you drink too much you lose your memory (scary), and getting drunk makes you get sick either in the morning or that night. All of this is purely observation and stories as I have never drank before. I truly don't understand the reason for alcohol. Sometimes I think, I want to just be a normal teenager and do stupid things(make rash decisions), but quickly get over that idea because I don't want to mess anything up for my future.

I also don't think like an average teenager because I don't find enjoyment in things that they do. I always feel so lost when they laugh about things or want to do things that I don't understand their reasoning for. I'm trying to think of good examples but nothing is springing to mind.

Another thing, relationships. Teenagers seem to date people "because they're cute". That was a reason someone had not to break up with their partner when they weren't getting along. I believe that you should be in a relationship with someone only if you think you could marry them one day. I don't believe relationships to be "practice", it just doesn't make any sense to me. Why date someone if you know that you'll eventually break up with them. Not logical. 

I try to think logically. I don't want to be the girl that people laugh at, or "face palm" because they say or do something really (for lack of a better word) dumb.

I don't feel "liked" among the fellow teenagers, mostly older people like me, or so I think. Although, they probably all like me because I don't swear, I smile, and (they tell me) I'm cute. Most likely because I look like I'm 12. Not good now, could be good later when I'm 30, hopefully I'll look 25, it just isn't good now because people don't seem to take me seriously.

I could probably go on talking about myself for another 500 words, but I believe I should stop now. I'll save it for the next posts. Hopefully you learned something about me, hopefully I don't sound too crazy, but I am pretty crazy, so it could be very possible.

That's all for now,

Erika.
