PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION ::

( Jacob Carter, best friend )

It’s kinda weird describing my female friend, but I’ll try to be as objective as I can. I have to say, AJ’s a pretty striking girl, and that’s pretty obvious from the pictures. I mean, you already know what she looks like, but I guess I’ll just describe what you can’t see. Maybe one of her most distinct feature is her hair, so soft and thick it’s like silk, or at least that’s what people tell me. I’ve never exactly played with her hair. Ahem. Anyway, she’s always showing off her toothpaste-ad smile, something else you’re bound to notice about her. AJ’s a tall kid, lanky for her age. She’s got long legs and she’s pretty clumsy about it sometimes. Ahem. Not that I look at her legs. Ahem ahem. Anyway…

I don’t really know how AJ dresses, probably cus I’m a guy and I don’t really notice these things. But I guess she usually wears sundresses and leggings or tees and jeans. She kind of alternates between the two. No joke, one day she’s wearing the first and the next she’s wearing the second. But it’s cool. It works for AJ. She carries this black leather jacket around with her like it’s her baby and if I’m not mistaken she recently named it Frank. Just don’t ask. And she strictly wears either flats or Converses. And she’s obsessed with giraffes too. She’s got this absurd arsenal of giraffe accessories. But anyway. Overall AJ’s a pretty… uh… pretty girl. Ahem. Anyway. I’m… uh… gonna go now… great objectivity there, Jake…

this is who I am //

PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION ::

( me )

Who am I? I dunno. Who are you? It's a serious question, one that should be measured out carefully but is thrown around like a tattered softball instead. Who am I? What makes me? Is it my beliefs, my hopes, my dreams? My behavior? My background? My age, my race? My opinion on banana splits and Charlie Sheen? Or me? Fully, totally, completely all of me? Most people take their whole lives to find themselves, a feat which ends up being the most spectacular thing that they've ever done (ironic, don't you think?)

Let's start with me. If you walked up to me and said "marry me", what would I do? If you spilled creme brulee on my favorite dress? If you said Hitler was a hero? If you told me you loved me? If you just said hello? Because at the very core of who I am, of my being, of my essence, is the concept that I'm always changing. We all are. We're all also dying, but that's beside the point. Every moment is another fingerprint on the clay mold of me. One minute I'm the sea, another a herd of horses, the next primordial goo sopping at your feet. Okay, okay, I'll stop going Super Shrink on you. Let's pull back up to the surface a little. What am I like usually?

Animated & optimistic. My friends will tell you I’m a really lively kid, and my little sister Amelia calls me Tig-Tig because my mom compared me to Tigger when she was a toddler and the name stuck. Some would describe me as hyper, but I prefer effervescent – bubbly. I try to see the bright side of things, you know? I’m a diehard optimist, so much so that sometimes people get frustrated when they come to me for advice because at times they just want me to listen and I’m being Little Miss Sunshine. It’s one of the reasons why some people feel detached from me: they think I can’t relate to them because I’m such a happy person, but it ain’t so. I get sad too, and scared, and embarrassed. I just don’t show it.

Friendly & personable. I’m pretty stylish, I like to think, and I’m fairly popular too, but only because I make it a point to meet everyone and spread myself around. It’s part of the reason I have so many inside jokes. I believe that stereotypes are hateful myths (they are) that people made up to keep us from making awesome relationships. By judging people, we miss out on knowing so many cool people. This philosophy both exposes me to really cool people, which is the point, as well as really weird people. I’ve gotta say, some kids are just… well, the things they say and do are beyond me. And they probably take advantage of me too without me knowing. There’s gotta be some leeches out there, right? But I believe it’s a worthy sacrifice for so good a cause.

Intelligent & sincere. I don’t want to sound like I’ve got my nose in the air, but I’m in a “smart” high school – a GEM – and I’ve got all A’s and all that jazz. This makes others around me feel isolated from me, like we’re on two separate levels just because I’m a little quicker than they are, but that’s not true. Again with the stereotypes. Sometimes I wish someone would bring stereotypes to life so I can punch them in the face. Just because I’m taking college-level classes doesn’t mean I’m some weirdo no one can connect with, you know? I mean, there are two hundred-odd kids like me in my GEM, and I believe that everyone can take and excel in the classes I take too, they just maybe have to work harder than I do. “Dumb” and “hopeless” are fantasies to me. Yeah, I’m one of those Little-Engine-That-Could people, and I’m proud of it.

HISTORY ::

( Amelia Starr, little younger sister )

So I’ve known AJ literally since I was born, and in the words of another journalist, AJ is a sun, not a satellite. She’s been through a lot (and I would know) and yet she always manages to keep smiling even wider than before. Anyone else would think that AJ’s indestructible, but I know otherwise. My big sister has a few key weak spots. You just have to know what to look for. Take our parents, for instance. AJ despises them with every shred of her being. And in my opinion she has good reason. If you only
