When were you diagnosed? I was diagnosed at the age of 13 and halfway through the 8th Grade.

Favorite Subjects: Everything excluding Math and Physical Activity Subjects.

Year/Grade: Technically, I would be in the Eleventh Grade but, because of the fact that I switched to home-schooling online as of last year, I take courses for all of the Grade Levels.

Favorite Music: Classical, Rock, Alternative, and Metal. In addition, I enjoy the music from "strange" musicals such as Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Phantom of the Opera, and Repo! The Genetic Opera (though this one is classified as a "rock opera").

Books: I love all books and it is very difficult to narrow it down to a "top favorites list." I will, however, list a few out of my numerous favorite books:
1) The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
2) Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles B.B. Murder Cases
3) The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris
4) Phantom by Susan Kay
5) The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe

TV Shows/Movies: A few of my favorite Television Shows are House, Ghost Hunters, So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent, Heroes, and Criminal Minds. A few of my favorite movies are A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Repo! The Genetic Opera, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Mummy, The Phantom of the Opera (The one with Gerard Butler, the one with Robert Englund, and the one with Lon Chaney), Dracula (with Bela Lugosi), and The Silence of the Lambs.

Insturment: I play the piano and learning how to play the violin. I desire to someday learn how to play the organ.

Do you like sports? No.

Family: My mother Christina, my father Alexander (whom I no longer see and have two police investigations against), my step-father Adam, and my one-year-old half-brother Cole. I love my brother with all my heart!

Clothing: My style of clothing is very similar to that of L Lawliet and Beyond Birthday from Death Note.

Job: Babysitter for my little brother.

Plans for the future? Graduate, attend college, and become an author as well as a psychologist. Someday, I wish to start a family and be married.

Family: I live with my Mom and her fiance. I have 3 half sibilings who are in their teens. They live with their Dad from my Mom's second failed marriage and visit often. My real Dad divourced my Mom when I was born and pretty much forgot about me, and my ex-step dad (husband #2) hates me and never speaks to me. My Mom was married to a third guy barely older then me for a few months then got smart and divourced him for being a drunk and a crackhead. Her current boyfriend is pretty cool though, too bad he came a little late in my life to be a male role model.

Job: I'm suppose to be going to college, but I have to be a resident of Florida for a year.

Plans for the future? I dunno, have my own house, a well paying easy job, living life comfortably if Western Civilization doesn't collapse on me due to all the problems in the world. I don't plan on having a family, maybe I could just get a cool roommate who could be my friend and we could hang out together. Or maybe just get a pet to take care of.

Any comments? Nope, sorry.
