I've been thinking...and I've come to the conclusion that I am a very... unique individual. Not many people know what's going on inside my head and how brilliant some of my ideas are. Bear with me - this is a rare moment. I never talk about how great I am.
I'm in love with medieval weaponry and battle. Swordmanship, archery, you name it. I practice archery and it's amazing. I hardly ever have time to do it or do it seriously (i just do target practice) but I love it so much. It's one of those things most people never get to experience. A shame because it's so...building. It strengthenes your arm muscles, your aim, and your posture. What can I say? I'm an archer.
I'm artsy, too. I paint landscapes, sketch, work with oil pastels, use charcoal, and draw for my novels. I'm in love with art and I love how good I am at it sometimes. Along with art, I like the theatre. I made home made movies with my friends and I absolutely love exploring other characters. It's like stepping into someone else's shoes. I talked to my mum about acting as a career and...basically, she told me it's a stupid idea. I love it, though! I'm taking a theatre class next year and I can wait. It's so much fun to me and wouldn't it be incredible if I actually got somewhere with it?
I also like fantasy. I read vampire/werewolf novels and there's just something about them that interests me. I'm even writing my own. I guess traditonal monsters are so lurid and grisly that you can't look away, you know what I mean? And I like the old fashioned ones - not the Ann Rice sex-craved erotioc vampires that can go out in the sunlight and can do anything humans can. The only difference is that they drink your blood and I guess that's sexy. But TRADITIONALLY, they kill you. They only want to kill you and feast upon your corpse. Hell, THEY'RE corpses! They're supposed to be dead, right? And decaying, right? Where the hell did that go? Off topic. I'm also writing this fantasy book about a group of adults that end up going to another world to save it from a curse. It's a long story and sounds better than how I briefly describe it. But I have huge ideas and I'm really excited to finish it.
Singing and music are the best. I took choir and would still be in it if I didn't hate the teacher with a passion. I told mum that I want to learn to play the piano, something I've wanted for a while now. She suggested guitar. I dunno, I don't really like the sound of guitars very much. They're easier than pianos, I'm sure. But there's also the emo, teenage rebel image to a guitar. I don't care for that much, either. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to consider it. Who knows? It might be fun. I'm going to try it out of nothing else. Time is limited, though, because I'm a junior and I'll be graduating soon. Then college. And I don't know how much time I'll have then.
I'm into crafts, too. First it was jewelry making. I love it. It lets me express my style and creativity. Some of the things I've made are truely beautiful. I used to have no jewlery at all and now I have so much it's everywhere. All over my room, the family room, the bathroom, hanging from command hooks on my walls, the downstairs counter, the computer table, everywhere. My jewelry boxes (I got 2 of em) are packed.
And recently, I took up knitting! I have so many scarves. I also made a blanket. And I'm working on a really beautiful shirt right now. It's laced on the front with a 4 inche band at the top and the back is going to have ribbon zigzagging back and forth like a corset. I'll put up a pic when it's done. It's beautiful. I'm so glad I knit.
Badminton! So much fun. I love it. I do it all the time over the summer. It's the only sport (besides basketball) that I can half tolerate. And Basketball, that's fun, too. I took it up when I was little but I became active at it again recently and I shoot hoops at the b-ball court all the time at the cottage. I was pretty good at it last summer but now I'm out of practice. sweatdrop
It's late, I'd better go. But there you have it: a look into Megan. A better look, anyhow. Like Alanis Morissette would say, "You've never met anyone who's as everything as I am sometimes..."
