Amelia Whittaker

This account is pretty much my guilty pleasure. Only one of my friends knows that I enjoy writing in my spare time. I feel self-conscious when people I know personally judge my writing, drawing, or anything else in the "creative" category, so I just don't tell them anymore.

My favorite author is Victor Hugo. My favorite book is Les Mis (of course, by Victor Hugo). My favorite poet is Edgar Allen Poe, although I do enjoy Jonathan Swift, particularly "A Description of the Morning".

I love to listen to music. My favorite genre of music is Alternative Rock. My favorite bands include: Paramore, The Academy Is..., Cute Is What We Aim For, Panic! At the Disco, Senses Fail, October Fall, Cursive, Pleymo, Tokio Hotel, Chairlift, Bright Eyes, Flyleaf, The Killers, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, The Ramones, Jimmy Eat World, etc.

I don't like to go home after school, so I join different groups to pass my time. This year I am/was in Spellbowl, Speech Team, and Ski Club (why do they all start with "S�s"?). On Thursdays I volunteer at my library.

Another interest I have is foreign languages. Along with English, I speak some German and French. I speak German better than French.
