That's hilarious, because my friend and I have wanted to study to become marine biologists since we were in the third grade! I've had those wants of being famous as well, but I think I prefer them in fantasy form. If there's one thing I cannot live without, it's my privacy. I can't imagine a life -- famous or not -- without any.

Really? Haha, how funny! I dunno, recording a record of my own songs (I write my own stuff, though I'm not so good at the melody part... strange, as I have a good ear) and having other people actually enjoy it woudl be the greatest feeling in the world. Singing and writing are my two favorite things. *shrug* I also adore acting! I was in my first play this last spring; it was GREAT. I think the director wants to put me and my friend Jesse as Romeo and Juliet this fall, hehe. Fun stuff.

I love acting as well. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has told me I'm "dynamic", "animated", or "candid". My friend Alli and I absolutely love messing around and we are in a youth program that puts on local plays. It's a load of fun and I would love to do it professionally -- but again, the privacy thing. I don't want to imagine my life so exposed.

Ohh, me too! It's crazy because I don't find myself as such, although I can actually read Shakespeare fluently, which some find a talent. A+ on my R+J reading for Honors English! "'Tis but thy name that is my enemy... thou art thyself, though not a Montague..." etc. 12 lines. My teacher (whom I respect infinitely; he's my favorite teacher) called it "very fluent and professional". That made me happy. As for privacy... I don't get any anyway. Everyone always knows what's going on with me because I can be an open book, though the things I don't want exposed I keep exclusively to myself. For something I love so much, I think I could handle it. Plus, I don't really have a life. Writing, exercising (to stay in good shape and to counter the sitting in front of the computer thing. It works, actually, especially now that we've finally found a new horse), singing, acting, music. That's just about it. Plus sleep. I have some handle on a social life, though, I guess. Still...

My friends think I must have been dropped on my head or something because I consider Shakespeare as one of my favorites. (We are excluding, obviously, the fact that they think I LOVE to read AT ALL is inconceivable.) I love it, though, and decided one day to speak in nothing but their mode -- which was SO fun and earned me plenty of bizarre stares to add to my ample collection.

The crazy thing is, I"ve done that, too. My friends think the same thing, and they think it's really odd that I've memorized many lines from several of Shakespeare's plays.

If I didn't have such a horrible memorization issue, I'd know a whole lot more Shakespeare than I do. I don't know if you've read my latest update yet, but I'm ashamed to say I had to look in my book fourteen times to get all of that right!

Memorization issues? Hahahahahah... yeah, I read your update (I will review, when I have time; I know I said that before but I mean it this time, seeing as I'm going to have some downtime soon.) and I was all excited because it was Shakespeare. As for having to look in your book fourteen times... wow. Maybe I just have a passion, but yeah. You have ADD, don't you? I do too, don't worry; the only reason I like it is because it gives me an excuse when I screw up, lol. I've memorized much Shakespeare. And I'm very proud to announce that I knew you were quoting "Much Ado About Nothing" when I read the first line.
Wow, I honestly have no life. Or a copy of "Much Ado About Nothing". Must make a note to go to the book store and pick one up. I honestly am pathetic. And I really need to get rolling on one of my novel ideas, seeing as I have about five and we're heading to California next week. Crap... fantasy or sci-fi? The fantasy one's a bit more stupid, so I think I'll go with sci-fi.
BTW, the Sci-Fi Channel is the best. Ever seen "First Wave"? Cade is awesome!! *fangirl grin*

Haha, I'm afraid I do. Runs in the family, along with sleep-talking and a strong dislike of peas. And no, I havn't seen...whatever it is, I'm too lazy to check, but I think I'll catch an episode of it scince it had been so highly recomended by you!
And have fun on your trip! Rock out loud!

lol, I find it absolutely intriguing. Sleep-talking... I don't do that, but my cousin (who's visiting now) does it a lot. She has conversations with herself in her sleep, I swear. And I like peas, though I could care less for broccoli.
And I will have fun on my trip! California is my favorite place ever!

It's infuriating, actually. I didn't know I was plagued by such a thing until a month ago at a youth retreat. My roommate asked me what I was dreaming about, because I woke her up twice.
How dare you put down broccoli, the greatest of all vegetables! Bah! Strange people in the world...
I love Cali too! I'm quite jealous of you, in actuality.

I just don't like vegetables in general, actually. I'll eat them, as I'm not a picky person, but I'm far more partial to fruit.
My best friend also sleeptalks. And steals one's pillow when one is sleeping on the futon with her. And attacks when one tries to take one's pillow back. It's quite odd, actually.
Cali... *shudders* Being a Californian by blood (and breeding, for the most part), I am a firm believer that it is Orange County, California, not OC, Cali. But I don't think I'll ever spread that belief to the rest of the world. *sighs* Anyway, I still get on people for that when they say it. So tut tut. Hehe, actually my best friend just tells me to get off her back for that whenever she says it, using of course very vulgar language. Heh.

I love both, which leads to some questions about the quantity I must consume to have gotten where I am... meh.
I seem to have that problem as well, but instead of stealing pillows, I wake up with my own chucked clear across the room. And occasionally I've found various tid-bits laying around. For instance, I awoke one fine morn last month to find the mop under my bed. Extremely odd.
Eh, I'm just lazy. Just a mo, FYI, Cali, slime-covered germ-infested leech, (yes, the last one is an abbreviation. My little brother...) but you get the idea. L-A-Z-Y.

I know, don't you hate that? I cut off on a lot of my food intake, so yeah... I mean, not anorexic, but I'm more hungry more of the time. So yeah. Fun stuff. Heh.
I just chuck my old stuffed animals off the bed. You know, the two I have. One goes with my room theme and the other has mucho sentimental value. That's why they exist. Unfortunately I can't seem to keep one in bed with me. Imagin that.
LOL yeah, I'm lazy too. I'm just iffy about that because I'm a brat. I dunno. ^^ I use FYI a lot. And lol, as if you couldn't already tell.

I would cut off my food supply, but I haven't been able to muster up enough reason to care to do it. It would be like letting one of my 48 (no joke) stuffed animals go: might happen if I hate it or suddenly find bad qualities in it, but not likely. This might have something to do with the laziness issue again. Meh. (I'm normally OCD about stuff, so it's weird I shorten things like that, now that I think about it.)
