howdy.

Hey guys.

I'm Amanda and I just turned sixteen. Well, not really, I've been sixteen for over a month now but it doesn't feel like anything's really changed since then. It should have, had I been more diligent about getting my driver's training done and then I would have my license right now but I wasn't so I don't have it.

I live in Los Angeles County, California, which is really just a fancy way of saying the suburbs outside of Los Angeles. Aside from my job and school, my life is really, really boring. My job is kind of the coolest job a kid my age can have, though. Through the place where I take music lessons (I'm a bassist), I am in a cover band that will eventually go on to play parties but right now, we're just backing up singers for demos. It's pretty much my favorite thing about my life.

School's awesome too. I go to this crazy magnet high school that's really arts and technology focused, which basically means that there are no sports. At all, I'm serious. We don't have a football team and all the other schools in the district are jealous of our mad test scores.

I write short stories when I have the time and it's the only thing I'm really, really fantastic at. (Not to toot my own horn, now I sound conceited). I really want to get into Columbia College for, well, college because I want out of California's grossness, but that may change in a year.

Dude seriously, what if the moon was made out of cheese?!

You've caught glimpses of shows like Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, and The secret Life Of An American Teenager. They all claim to be shows about situations and lives of most teenagers now, and that is sort-of true. Kids are going out and doing things that would've been shunned in society thirty years ago. Not everyone is like this though. Like me.

My name's Alex Lee, I'm going to be 16 in December, and I'm from the Midwest.

Unlike those crazy drama-filled shows that make my mind pound with whining, bitching, and fighting, I'm a nice kid. I try to do good in school. I don't have sex with a different guy each week (or at all thank you very much.) I am almost always a bit eccentric. I love to make people laugh and have a good time. I have very little fashion sense and don't really care. I don't do drugs, drink, or smoke, all of those things have messed up my life already, I've seen what they can do to people and I don't want to be like that. I love and respect my family to death. I live with my dad and my brother. My parents are divorced and I'm a daddy's girl. My dad is one of my best friends and his keen ear for music is baffling. My mom has done some things I don't like at all so I'm not as close as I would like to be with her. I don't like to speak up a whole bunch at school, but I never shut up at home. I'm not one of those stereotypical anti-socials. I don't like how most people at my school act but I have quite a wide variety of friends. I participate in building set and behind the scenes work with all our school plays.

The loves of my life are my best friends, my family, the music I hold near'n'dear and my animals. Since I was teeny-tiny I've loved animals. I have a cat named Kitty (original right? XD) she's a shorthaired calico and is around 8-9 years old. I also have a German Shepard/Rottweiler mix named Oden, He's a big baby. My addition is my hedgehog. His name is MC (Mac and Cheese) Hewitt. Hewitt's an odd little guy but I love him still.

Now that I've babbled on and told you my whole effing life in a few paragraphs I'm going to bit you adieu for now

peace-

Alex {hello?...OR HANG UP ON ME YOU JERK!} Lee
