I'm Emily, I'm 16, and I live in California :)

I love:
Sharks, cartooning, cats, teaching, playing flute and piccolo, birdwatching (!!), Academic Decathalon, classical music, DDR (!!!), healthy food, and Dean Koontz

I dislike:
Rudeness. Any rudeness, smart-aleckness, etc. It annoys the heck out of me. Also...FINALS! Finals should die :( Because they keep me from vexelling. Booo.

I absolutely love love LOVE Dean Koontz. I've read:
1. Velocity**
2. Seize the Night*
3. Fear Nothing*
4. Intensity***
5. False Memory***
6. Sole Survivor*
7. The Taking**
8. Midnight**
9. The Bad Place**
10. The Eyes of Darkness***
11. By The Light of the Moon*
12. Servants of Twilight***
13. Strangers***
14. The Voice of Midnight*
15. The Mask***
16. Cold Fire***
17. The Face**
18. Mr. Murder***

(*=very good, **=great, ***=best)

My favorite is False Memory. The characters are great, and so is the plot, from the first page to the last.

Other than Dean Koontz books, I love The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. That book is amazingly touching. And Harry Potter too.

I like to write poetry about the menstrual cycle with my friend Elizabeth in AP Biology :) It's a fun hobby, really.

As for music, I listen to a lot of classical, 'cause I'm cool like that :D My all-time favorite classical piece is the Rite of Spring by Stravinsky. It's so amazing and energized...it's not stuffy or boring, it's downright awesome. :) Stravinsky is the man. Honestly. His Firebird Suite is great as well, as is the Scythian Suite. *drool*

I also very much love to bird-watch! Mostly just at my house, from my bedroom window :) I see lots of chestnut-backed chickadees, titmice, Cassin's finches, and juncos. Luckily, those are about the cutest birds in existance :D :D Sadly I can't feed then anymore, because the food draws mice :(

I plan to major in education and do music of some sort (but not study it, oh no). I love music, I love band, I love my flute and piccolo (lovingly named Trevor and Emerson because I'm silly ^^) I'm learning alto flute now as well, and trumpet. It'd be a dream come true to be able to play almost every instrument (well, not every one, but close!). After college, I plan to learn french horn and get much better at trumpet...maybe oboe...That is, if I have time...It's probably unrealistic, but oh well. I just want to have fun with it...

If anyone wants to collab, I'd love to! But, be warned, I vexel very slowly :)

I do a lot of pencil drawings, you can see them at:
