Intro to me and my life story...

Nov 07, 2006 21:43

Some of you that are reading or maybe just browsing this journal are most likely wandering why I started a new journal. Well, I have my reasons, and let's just say I'm doing it for me. As for this entry, for those of you that don't know me, I figured I could introduce myself...
First off, my name is BAMA. Yes, BAMA. That's my real name. Well, truthfully it's my middle name, but it happens to be what I go by. It's also the only name I'm really interested in giving over the internet. I'm 17 years old, 5'7", weigh 180 lbs., have brown hair, and hazel eyes. I currently live with my dad, my brother [Copper], and my son [Max]. Incase you don't know; Copper and Max are dogs. I have a very large family and many friends which I'll be introducing as this journal progresses.
I'm gay. If it bothers you, I don't really care much. I'm very open about it. I've dated guys. I've done stuff with guys. So, I know what I'm talking about. I just don't put out there that I'm gay for attention, nor am I scared whether people know, or care, about it. If you would of asked me about 3 months ago whether or not my dad knew that I was gay, I would of said no. Due to somewhat recent events he knows now, but it's pretty much all good.
For those of you that know me personally, I'm a very busy person. I've also noticed recently that I enjoy having a lot to do to keep my mind on. Therefore, when I explain what kind of life I want later down the road, it might seem like I'm just undecisive or don't fully know what I want to do. That's not really the case. I just enjoy having a variety of things to do on a daily or weekly bases, and I have a wide range of interests. First off, my number one hobby and passion is Colorguard! Not the JORTC Colorguard, but the kind that you usually see with the marching band during half time shows. We're the ones that spin flags, rifles, and sabres. Yes, JORTC has a drill team that uses some of those, but there's a difference. A MAJOR difference. I'm currently one out of the 2 Colorguard captains for Escambia High School. I plan on auditioning for the drum corps, Spirit of JSU. When I get done with drum corps, which will last all summer, I plan on trying to come back to EHS as one of the Guard instructors. I plan on working there for awhile, and on the meantime, still be part of other colorguards and performing. I would love to be able to have my very own Guard to instruct later on down the road!
Another passion I happen to have is the subject, English. I'm a senior this year and my plans are to go to University of West Florida and get a major in English. I want to be a writer and write my own materials, such as novels, short stories, and poems. I also would like to teach some courses at a university or college. Last, but most certainly not least, I want to be a book critic and work for a magazine. Like I stated above, I can be a very busy person, but I enjoy being a busy person.
I believe this entry is a very good way to start off this journal so you can start with a little knowledge of me and what I'm about. If you have any questions or statements, feel free to comment or message me!
