Ryn Rifkin

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! my name is Tara and I am a writer, an artist and a designer. I'm a senior in high school and hate cliques. I have strong opinions that are often brushed aside but I state them boldly anyway and said opinions, when heard, often get me into trouble. People who think they're better than everyone else annoy me to no ends because everyone is equal. No I don't care that you buy your clothes here, or your parents are richer than mine---in the end we're all the same.

anyway, stories are my life. everyday i write and you'll just have to learn to live with that because i plan to make my dreams of having my stories published someday. oh by the way, writing tales has expanded my vocabulary greatly, so if you don't understand what i'm saying, grab a dictionary. yeah, i don't pay attention in any of my classes (and if you think i do there's something wrong with you), instead im writing or drawing. i never study for anything, hate doing homework and often don't hand it in if i'm not in the mood. how i'm passing anything is beyond me...

music is great. i dance whenever i want, whether people are watching or not, it doesn't bother me. i love being different! i dress ridiculous, paint my face up, wear and cut my hair in crazy styles and goof off to stand out because i want you to notice me! to notice that i am an individual and proud of that fact, so much so that i can do what i do every day. Weird Al, Queen, Green Day, Switchfoot, and Relient K are the best music artists out there and you can't deny it! if you do i don't care so don't bother me with your negative and narrow perspectives. thanks, the notion is appreciated.

friends are my life! i love hanging out with everyone. they keep me company, lift my spirits higher and keep me interested. i must have plans for everyday or i get bored at my house. i hate doing nothing, it bothers me and makes me feel lazy which i hate! i have to be doing something, even if its chores. busy is my middle name (actually it's nicole, but that's besides the point).

my family is freakin' amazing! i don't care what you say, all i know is i have fun with them and are comfortable with them. sure my brothers can be annoying and my parents a tad in my face, but deep down they are loved very much. my brothers and i are comfortable with wrestling in the yard and getting dirty in mud or climbing trees and going on our regular summer adventures. getting lost on parvin's red trail is normal for us and riding our bikes through the swamp back there only makes it better. tire swings, pools, bikes, soccer nets/balls, sticks and trash can lids are never safe from us, so hide them good when we're around or you'll just have to put up with our insanities. ^-^

WARNING!!! i am a hyper and random girl! i always try to get others to share my smiles and laughter and hate excluding anyone from fun events, hosted by myself...aka Get Togethers. in such events bonfires, manhunt, twister, guitar hero, halo, ghost in the graveyard, ddr, kareoke, surprise giveaways with superb outcomes and random dancing is a must, so if you come, please be prepared to have a wild and crazy time!

i am part of band! marching band, concert band, jazz band, pit orchestra, you name it and i'm in it! i don't care if i'm labeled as a nerd, geek, loser, or wierdo for doing what i love. as i stated before i love music! in band i am part of the percussion section. i play snare drum for marching band, concert snare, drum set and other random instruments for concert band and pit orchestra (cymbols, triangle, slapstick, jingle bells, etc.) jazz band i play tambourine and the timbali's, plus i sing. outside of that i play piano, guitar, and clarinet.

i go to church every weekend (either saturday or sunday depending on the work schedule). i am a believer of God. chris and i (jae sometimes joins in) sing together as our own chorus in the pews and try to get other people to join along but they never really do. we do have people turn to us after church and tell us we're very good but that's besides the point...we want them to join along! i hate to admit that though i wish i could, i never can really focus in church. i usually goof off with my brothers who make me laugh and then i can't stop laughing and i have to bow my head and cover my mouth and muffle it. we always get in trouble with mom and dad. but i do focus on the readings...i just get lost during the priests' homily...-sigh-

i would say i'm pretty easy to get along with and to get to know. i am always open and up to a good conversation no matter what the topic is. hey talk about whatever you want around if you just feel like ranting. i'll pretend that i know what you're talking about and try to stay with you, but you'll know if i have no idea because i'll agree too much and laugh randomly. i can be pretty bad at lying sometimes....haha

oh my gosh! i drink milk way too much when i should drink more water and i can't avoid sweets...i try hard to eat healthy but its hard sometimes...but i always try to make up for it. i love quiche, broccoli, cream of chicken soup, chow mien, pizza, chicken in general, APPLE PIE!---and loads of snacks. I HATE STRING BEANS, CARROTS, and CHEESE STEAKS---i don't care what my dad says, they make my throat hurt! pie is freakin awesome, cookies rock, candy can't be turned down, gum is loved, ice cream cake is a must and sweet potatoes are amazingly delicious!

i love veggie tales, disney movies, comedies, fantasies and good movies! i hate suspense, drama, horror, realistic, and sci-fi movies so don't bother asking me about those ones.

that's about it for now, maybe i'll add more and maybe i won't. cause i mean who's to say this whole thing will even be read itself, you know? anyway, if you're up for chatting or ranting, or hey even disagreeing with me about my profile, AIM me sometime at: rynrifkin
