Haha, I never thought you were a "cold-hearted nit-picker", we all just show our personalities in different ways. Honestly, I have tons of people mistaken me as some cold, quiet freak. Seriously.

I have to say, indie games are awesome, and I've played something similar to Ultimate Hoopsby, so I know a bit about it. And techno music's my favorite, I tried making my own but kinda failed. As in I... well, gave up. Maybe I'll go back to it one day.

Instead of Nerf I use Airsoft with my friends and we do battles in these woods behind one of my friend's house. It's epic, but usually, the game ends in a draw.

Also, you really should keep that resolution, submitting something to a sci-fi magazine would be awesome, and you really have the skills they look for. So do remember to do it! Flute is really cool too, one of my friends has spent years playing it for band, and it sounds fantastic. Also, who is that character from? 

Thanks, Bluebird! I got to say, we have a lot in common. I mean, my not being able to finish anything besides art *cringes* and my wanting to do animation. Although cloudy days, unless those really awesome puffy clouds, just bring down my mood. As for schools, mine is a little over 120 kids for Pre-K - 12th. I mean, I can proudly say I'm friends with 6th graders, 8th graders, and older, and get along really well with little Preschool and Kindergartners because of it.

I love piano, but alas, I never learned to play (due to not finishing anything), and Bunny is learning to play the clarinet. Now that I've been swamped with school, I've had a hard time dreaming, or even making my own dreams, probably due to stress. Then when I'm really excited, nervous, stressed out, or upset, I'll have random dreams. I just wish I could dream like I used to, though...

Thanks for sharing, I'll post more about me later as well! Although with all my comments, I guess I posted a ton extra about me. :D

Ahem.

Here are some facts about me:

-I'm homeschooled

-I sew (but not crochet). That's really cool you sew, Bluebird! What kind of things do you sew and crochet?? I'm really curious. Me, I just do little things like coasters or bags but also sometimes clothes and I made a quilt once for my mom. It was really fun!:) Also I was the student costume designer once for a play.

-I will have been doing karate for 9 years on Jan. 15th! I do ho-shin-do, which is a Korean form that isn't very well known. I'm actually an instructor there, too for the little kids (who can be so adorable!!). My mom thinks I spend too much time there... :) 

-I've got three brothers. Two older, one younger.

-I do speech and debate. Every year the league we're in chooses a topic for policy debate, and you have to make a plan that affirms that topic and argue for it. For example, this year the resolution is about U.S. food safety and agriculture policy. Last year it was about trade policy with South Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan. At debate tournaments you have to dress really professionally in business attire

-I looooooove to read! My favorite books are Harry Potter, The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak, Flipped by Wendelin van Draanen, the Inkheart trilogy, The Golden Compass trilogy (I think it's called His Dark Materials), Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children trilogy, A Wrinkle in Time and the Time Quintet, the Chronicles of Narnia, ummm. That doesn't comprise everything but ok.

-A camel is definitely my spirit animal. I love camels!! I've ridden one before, in Jerusalem.

-Star Wars is like one of my favorite movies EVER. Alongside "The Road to El Dorado" which is this old Disney movie we used to have on VCR that my brothers and I laugh about so much. Apparently it was a box office failure, but I don't know why because its really hilarious and I've talked to several people who say they love that movie. 

Sorry for the super long post! 

Thanks, Leafpool! I think I've heard of the Artist's Loft brand before. Drawing is amazing, but I also get frustrated at times since I am such a perfectionist. I'll sit there for five hours doing a tiny picture because I want each line to look perfect.

I love music as well (most people do, fortunately!) And Lindsey Stirling is amazing! Another person you might like is Taylor Davis, she does the same music, but for video game soundtracks usually. I also love movie/video game soundtracks and Imagine Dragons. The only thing is, I can't pick my favorite album by them... they are all awesome. My favorite rapper is probably Macklemore, and he's actually from where I used to live when I was younger.

And of course, reading and writing are awesome, too, thanks for sharing!

~I love to read. It is more than a hobby for me. Lately, I've had trouble finding books that are appropriate for me, but don't have a boring or depressing plot. 

~I have been writing a novel since I was seven, and possibly before that. My very first memory of it was when me and a friend were creating book covers for it, and deciding what the mythical country it took place in would look like. I've lost touch with the friend, but she gave up on the idea before we even started writing. I never did.

~I speak French, I'm teaching myself how to speak Spanish, and I want to learn Latin.  

~The book I'm writing is based on a game I played when I was in elementary school. This provided me with a interesting plot line and a large and unique set of characters, since everyone in my school played that same game.  Nearly every character in the book is based on someone who played the game. The game itself was imaginary, filled with Indians, WWII and I generals, redcoats, fairies, pegasi, potions, and almost anything a kid between the ages five and fourteen could think of. 

~I have a rant on why time travel is a bad idea, and my classmates have come to call it my 'Time Travel Rant.' It has gone on for hours before. 

~I collect socks. It was more of just a coincidence, at first. I just had a large number of them, and many were odd looking or patterned. But eventually, I gained an insane number, and people started giving them to me as gifts on holidays. Soon I ran out of room in my underwear drawer for them, and now I've started calling myself a sock collector. 

~It's a rare day that I try to stop being friends with someone. The friends I have lost mainly drifted away to become part of the groups of 'popular kids' at school, or started being horrible to some of my other friends and then left. At the moment, I'm actually considering leaving some of my friends because they've started to basically bully the others in my friend group. At first, it was like they were joking, but now it's escalated to a point where there's no way they could possibly be kidding anymore. 

~I play the clarinet and recorder, and I love sing. I write songs, though I try to avoid singing in front of people unless I'm on stage. When I'm on a stage, I can't see the audience, making it easier to imagine that nobody's there. I've also gotten into many of the school plays. 

~I love supporting school legends. That creepy grandma made of shadows living in the girls locker room? She's real if you ask me, and I'll happily tell you the whole ghost story behind her. The never-opening locker that leads to a secret basement where the PE coaches hold sacred rituals? I'll give you directions, I'll draw you a map. The tale that if you take a pencil out of the art room, you get a taboo? It happened to me. 

~My classmates and I summoned a demon in Homeroom. Need I say anything else?

~I can tell a good story. Once, I convinced someone that there was a band named The Food that only played in the U.K., just to cover for a classmate who didn't want anyone finding out a secret. Oh, I'll also cover for anyone, as long as I believe it's a probable cause. 

~I always need a creative project to work on, or else I go insane. A painting, a song I'm writing, a table made from an old bookshelf- if I didn't have these things to do, I'd be running around screaming. 

~I hate Google. Not the number, the web browser. They are pushing libraries to the burnt of extinction, people! Research librarians are out of the job. The American Library Association actually has T-shirts on the subject!
