All 'Bout Me
I woke up screaming, although not because I woke up from a nightmare, but it was because...SUMMER WAS OVER!!!!!!! The happiness and joy being replaced with the boredom and tortures of school … JUST KIDDING!!!
My name is Men**** Q*, I’m 1* and I go to Aca*** Junior High! I don’t have any siblings but I do really want a dog. I like to joke around, and during spare time, I usually like watching television, playing video games, surfing the internet, listening to music and sleeping. I also enjoy playing sports such as basketball, badminton and tennis.
Some of my favorite music genres include pop, R&B, rock and more. Even though I like rock, I HATE heavy metal and screamo! Seriously! Who likes screamo, other than You** Bil**, Da***, Fr*** and some other people. Or…maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t like it. Talking about music, I also play music on piano, guitar and the clarinet (in band). So, as you can see, I’m very musical. Now the boring part of music is the written part (as always) which is called theory. Right now, I’m in Gr. 3 theory which is called Harmony 3.
Although music isn’t the only thing I like, although I may not look like it, but I actually really like playing video games. When I’m not playing games, I’m on the computer either watching anime or reading manga. I also enjoy drawing manga such as Naruto, Bleach or Vampire Knight, which leads to my writing. Since I like to draw, that probably improved my pencil handling, so I write really neat. Some people call me “neat freak”, especially You**, but even though I don’t mind, I personally like his writing better.
Another thing that people always call me is “shorty/midget” and it’s mostly because…I’m shorter than lots of people. But that doesn’t mean I eat less than everyone else…well, maybe it does, but that’s not the point. Even though I don’t eat much, I still have some favorite foods like popcorn, chips, chicken, roast chicken, barbeque chicken, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, chicken wings, chicken fingers, chicken legs, chicken breasts, popcorn chicken… so, as you can see…I LUUUUUUVV CHICKEN! Well at least over the other foods.
If you ask me to a picnic, my reply would be: “will there be chicken?” If the answer’s yes, then I’ll definitely go, if not, then…I’ll think it about it! -_-
YAY!
