What is there to tell about me? i'm 14, live in a town where everyone loves codfish sandwiches *not really...that's just all i'll say*. I go to a private school that i'm completely in love with. i had some bad experiances at my old one. Just friends issues and stuff. Got betrayed, teased, left out, all that good stuff. But i moved on and not only found myself with new friends, but BETTER friends and *gasp* a social life! It's shocking because i never ever imagined that would happen. and lookie ma, i even have a boyfriend who is the BEST BEST BEST!!!
so let me just outline the important stuff.
I love music. it all started when i was just a wee christie. Where to start with my music obsession? i try to pinpoint one specific memory but then another precedes it. *shrugs* oh well. The earliest i can remember is when i was 4 or 5 years old and lived in my old house at another location and i had this 2-cassette compalation of Mickael Jackson's greatest hits. i would wait until everyone went to bed (to my knowledge anyways) and i would put on the cassette and dance around, singing the songs and "talking to the audience" between songs. when i was almost 6 i moved to my current residence and one day while i was in the van, i found myself with nothing to do so i picked up a mini-keyboard that had somehow found it's way into the car and began picking out melodies. within the space of let's see...5 to 10 minutes i was convinced that i needed piano lessons and began to wheedle at my parents. My mother/father (i forget which) told me that if i could pick out the tune to "oh when the saints" within the end of the car ride i could get piano lessons. i found the tune, memorized it, and performed it within the next 10 minutes. and my parents agreed to get me piano lessons.
Well i hated them. alot. I went through maybe 4 or 5 teacher before finally settling on this one lady. But the lessons were restrictive and discontenting. i longed for something more. I stuck with the lessons for 5 years but it wasn't in my heart anymore. Somewhere along the line i discovered the most amazing band in the world, HANSON. What is so amazing about Hanson you may wonder? i still dont know myself. all i know is that they made me realize how powerful and wonderful music can be. i had discovered this at an early age but all but forgotten it. watching Isaac play his guitar something told me that THAT was what i needed to do. I demanded an end to piano lessons and a start to guitar. It was much cheaper so my parents agreed.
I loved guitar right away. my teacher even said i was a natural and i believed it. All i really needed from this instructor was the basics on how to play. after maybe a year i was all set but couldn't tear myself away from this new family i had discovered in my new guitar world. and then everything took a turn. Alicia came. Alicia was just like me, but a little older. she even attended the same jr. high/high school that i was at! She sang when she played and played what i loved to sing. Slowly i opened as a musician for her. She somehow taught me how to associate music with lyrics (i had started writing song-ems *mix of poems/songs* about a year or so previous) and write...could it be? GOOD SONGS. so one day i told her i was a songwriter. i finally was. and she wanted to hear me play.
i was so nervous! i brought in my 2 favourites at the time and wonder of all wonders, SHE, my idol, thought they were incredible too.
and a year later she left me and well...i guess it was bound to happen. the important thing was that she taught me not only how to write and write well, but also to perform! i quit guitar lessons after she left. Probably because Alicia was the only reason i stayed in the first place.
my favourite non-musical hobby is HTML. I have made many websites over the past few years. alot happened when i was 9. i discovered not only Hanson but the Internet as well. when i was 10 i set about making my first website at Geocities *hissss* it was a disaster, even the easy non-html way. i took a short break and in that time discovered Angelfire. I have been here ever since. All my websites except the first one and this one have been dedicated to Hanson. you can check out some old handiwork at my old site Shades Of Blue i havn't updated in forever so there's the chance it isnt working but it's there. i recently discovered frames, iframes, fixed backgrounds, and stuff like that, it makes everything so clean, organized, and professional looking! i dont even mind the pop ups! *but i'm sure you do. sorry about that i'm too poor to make this site official*
i should explain this site a little though since you're here. however you managed to find this place. I found egocentric.org and thought it was the cutest thing ever. i was also a little jealous and thought (why can't >>i<< do that??) so i set about to copy her!...just kidding of course. the mutual love of the colour pink is a total cowinkidink. actually my site is more fuschia (i still cant spell it!! grrarg)
and if anyone cares, the name "What if you could Fly?" was unintentionally supplied by Tim Wolfe (boyfriend from 3/3/02-?/?/?). one of his screennames just happens to be whatifyoucldfly but he dosnt know about this website so DONT TELL HIM!!! i guess the screenname was thought provoking or something.
