Re:Hi! :)

Paulina, what college are you going to apply to? I want to go to Cal State or Victor Valley College.

Re:Hi! :)

Hi Sarah and Paulina! I love rollercoasters! I also like acting, singing, and playing the piano. When I graduate I want to major in english because I love writing, I'd also like to be a music teacher or a musician. I am totally blind but I have a little bit of light perception but it doesn't really do anything for me, but it's better than absolutely nothing, rite? Oh, and it's okay that you spelled my name wrong, a lot of people do because it's kind of long. My friends just call me Brie.

Hi Analee! I love writing stories and poetry. Sometimes I write lyrics for songs to. What do you like writing about?

Re:Hi! :)

My favorite rollercoaster is probably, Top Thrill Dragster at Ceder Point in Ohio.

Re:Hi! :)

Desperation (the Wolf Man 1941 score) Composed By Frank Skinner & Hans Salter is a favorite.
Songs composed by Hans Zimmer, Tyler Bates, Clint Mansell, Alan Menken and Stravinsky are a few favorites as well.

Re:Hi! :)

I like poetry as well! But my favoritesare probably just writing short stories about random things that sound interesting at the time lol.
