Who I Am 14 August 2008

I am a (female) teenager living in Florida. I am of Indian descent. I am a sophomore in the IB program at my local high school. I am a liberal in most ways, except for the issues on which my more conservative best friend has managed to influence me. I am an atheist (or faithfreeist, if you prefer) and a humanist. As for the rest, I am still figuring it all out. I am an absolute nut about grammar. I love math and reading. I speak two languages fluently and two languages semi-fluently. This makes me a polyglot.

I have been a lurker on the Intertubes for years, but I’ve finally taken the plunge and gotten a blog. I procrastinate a lot, have very little self-control, and still manage to maintain a 4.0 unweighted GPA. No one wants to know how this is possible more than I. I am a perfectionist. I am very nit-picky. I have no idea what I want to do with the rest of my life except that I want to get into a great college.

This whole blog is supposed to be about who I am, I believe, so this is but the basics. Stay tuned.

Why I Made This Blog

1. I am sure the world will be fascinated with the musings and observations of yet another teenaged Intertubes addict.
2. My friends probably think I talk too much. And I love them too much to let them put up with that.
3. Because the Facebook status message line has a character limit. As does just about everything on Facebook.
4. There just are not enough things that make me put off my schoolwork as it is.
5. My friends will be mildly entertained by this.
6. I want something to show my future grandchildren in fifty years. By which time paper diaries will probably be out of style.
7. I have something to say (I think).

All of these reasons were at least slightly facetious. A great way to start off a blog, in my opinion.
