People who aren't my friends think I'm quiet.
I fidget a lot, but it's not because I'm bored, more because there's always music going in my head that I'm moving along with.
I doodle in class, but it's because it helps me pay attention.
I can be friends with everyone, even the people my friends hate.
If there's a TV on in the room, (or some other form of noise besides your voice) you better believe I'm about to be distracted.
I spend my summers sunburned and lovin' it.
Three of my favourite things ever are swimming, swinging, and laughing hysterically.
All I ever want to do is cook. Anything and everything.
I love to learn new things, it doesn't matter what it is, just teach me.
