About

Hi!I love music, photography, books (reading in general) and unleashing my inner quirkiness! So add me/comment me/whatever- I love 'meeting' new people ;>
Here's some fast facts about me:

-I am a strong believer that every person is obligated to help those in need anywhere else in the world if they can.

-I'm a nerd that tries twice as hard just to be half as good as my peers.
- I LOVE Harry Potter. Honestly, it has created such an impact on my life, it's unexplainable. I should point out, that I'm a VERY huge Dramione shipper, although I love all ships, especially James/Lily, Harry/Ginny, and Luna/Neville. I never used to ship Ron/Hermione book-wise, but because of Rupert & Emma's acting in the last two movies, it's really starting to grow on me. Grrrr XD

-I am a Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato fan. Yes, I watch Disney. Yes, I'm over the age of 15. Don't judge-no offense, but you don't know me. Okay? Kay.

-One of my hobbies is collecting quotes and inspirational proverbs and pictures from all over the place so if you wanna send some my way, I'd be delighted!

-Sarcasm is my native tongue (so don't take anything I say too seriously) and I'm skilled in the art of procrastination.

-I'm bilingual- trilingual if you count limited Spanish vocab.

-I have been playing piano for the past few years and I love it :) Sadly, I'm not great at it.

-I am not a prude, but I'm confident enough to have self-respect.

On Friday, something tragic happened at Crescenta Valley High School. A 15 year old boy jumped off the roof of one of our buildings and killed himself during the lunch period in front of dozens of students. Teachers and administrators soon handled the situation by evacuating everyone to the front of the school, then down to our football field. Down there, we stayed for a couple hours. 3000 students in one, we were bound to talk. Details emerged and suspected names were tossed around. It wasn’t until later that night when we learned that the person was Sophomore Drew Ferraro. We had a three day weekend to calm ourselves and let the events sink in. Today we returned to school, expecting a very somber and solemn mood. What we came to was surprising. On each and every one of the 2000+ lockers in our school was a hand-written, heart-shaped note that read “You are loved”. Not only that, but in our homerooms each and every student received a hand written card by different members of the community. Everyone from 8-year old children to parents who have watched their 6 children graduate from our school. There’s a quote that says, “The difference between greatness and mediocrity is a series of small efforts.” The members of the community banded together to make a few small efforts to brighten our day. This is definitely a memory that will stay. To see how well we can band together shows just how strong we really can be. Rest in peace, Drew Ferraro. We all love you.
