Life is becoming more and more fun. I like it. :o) My open diary is a wonderful thing, I write about things as I would in a paper diary. One of the best parts of it, is people reading it and leaving notes. Having more than one point of view on stuff is wonderful. I feel loved and popular and stuff. *happy dance*
I don't even know where to begin about the rest... Life has been anything but boring for me. And that has proven at times to be fun, and at others, very not so fun. I really can only say that if you wish to gain a bit of knowledge of me, read these pages that I have made. One could learn a lot about someone by just listening... So now I am talking, as it were...
I was born in a little place by the name of Harrison, Arkansas. Which I've recently come to find out is in the northwestern part of the state. I don't remember it because I moved to Memphis when I was three. I lived there for about seven years. For all of the time I spent there, I find that I can actually remember very little about it. When I was in fourth grade, I moved to Orland Hills, a small suburb about a half hour southwest of Chicago. I liked it there. That following summer, my parents divorced. My Dad moved to another suburb of Chicago, whose name escapes me. He has moved several times since the divorce, and now lives in Peoria. In August 1995, my mom got remarried. My step-dad (with whom I now live, in the great city of Chicago) is an ok guy. I think I may now have one of the world's largest families, consisting of a veritable plethora of step-siblings, a half-brother, a half-sister, a brother, a sister, step-parents, and an incredibly large extended step-family, as well as a great many blood relatives.
But, aside from that, who I am is, I guess, a bit of a story. To make it a little shorter.....
Oh boy, where to start with this.. Well, I guess, as one might be able to tell from this website, I am a bit of a computer dork at heart. I think that's because I seem to pick this stuff up so fast. I mean, in late '96, I had never been on the internet.. and two months later, I got a web page and was really getting into it all.
To look around my website, you can see some of the things that I rather enjoy. Be it collecting Pez, listening to Tori, or enjoying chocolate. About all of that.. why do I like Pez so very much? I dunno. I just do. About Tori, listen to her. The passion she puts into her music is amazing. And sometimes, you think to yourself, "Had I thought of how to word it, I'd have written it first". Those passions also drive me at times.. look at my poems and see. It's part of living life, knowing what's going on in it, sharing it, and living life more. You only live once.. that I know of. And don't forget to enjoy fine chocolate...mmmmm.. *drool*

I love my family, even though they are all crazy, but hey, everyone is a bit crazy. And, did I mention, I have a HUGE family? A rather large collection of step-siblings, half-siblings step-parents, cousins, aunts, grandparents, and everything else you can think of. And we are spread all over this country. It's crazy sometimes, especially on holidays, it gets hard trying to remember how you are related to second cousins. But, I love them all, and finally having older brothers and sisters after 18 years was kinda cool, eventhough, at times, I get treated like I'm a little kid, but I'm a little brother now, so I guess it goes with the territory.
