Whitney

Hey; the name is Whitney. Right now, I feel like I'm writing my myspace about me. Hah. Um, well there's a lot to know about me, but I guess I'll just tell you the basics. Starting off with my name. I really enjoy my name because my parents took a while to figure out what exactly they wanted to name me. In fact, for one full day my name was "Girl". My father wanted to name me April, but right now I'm sort of glad my name isn't April since I was born in July. Hah. My mom wanted to name me Amanda. Personally, I like that name, but I'm glad that they decided to go with Whitney. I got my name from my dad's middle name "Whitlaw". In fact, my full name is based on my parents middle name. My middle name is Victoria, just like my mother's middle name.

So yeah, now you know more about my name. A bit too much, I guess. Hah. Now, I'll tell you about my birthday. :D I was born on the fifth of July, 1991. I love my birthday for so many reason. One of the reasons is because it's in the summer. So all my birthday parties had something to do with water, obviously. & I love water since I am a water sign. The funny thing is that, I never really learn how to properly swim until the age of 15. Anyways, back to my birthday. Another reason why I love my birthday is because my cousin, Culla, was born on my birthday of 2000. So that was a great birthday gift for me. One more thing I like about my birthday is that about a year and a half ago, I made friends with a girl named Kayla from Canada through myspace. The cool part was that we were born exactly on the same day, and year. I'm 4 hours older than her. We have talked almost everyday, and everytime we were aviable. Turns out we have more in common then we have ever imagined. I consider her my twin! Hah. Recently, we've exchanged birthday gifts, and wrote letters to each other through mail. We've also talked to each other through phone, which was very cool. Now, we are planning to meet each other for our 17th birthday. We've talked to our parents about it, and our parents have talked to each other, so now all we have to do is save up money for the trip. Next birthday is probably going to be one of my favorites by far.

Next topic, music. Music is one of THE most important thing in my life right now. My father has been a musician for most of his life. I'd say for a little more than 40 years. My father has taught me that there's more to music, then just the beat. You have to really listen to the lyrics, and listen carefully to each instrument. I've recently been able to tell that most bands use a drum machine in their cd. Plus, I can also name what instruments are in the song. I'm really glad my father taught me little things like that because now I listen to the song in a whole other way. But it's not just the songs that makes me love music, it's the fact that I can make songs. I play the guitar, drums, and piano, and I sing. People have different opinions about my singing, but I like it becuase it's unique and because it's mine. [Laugh out Loud] So far I've made about eight songs, and soon I'll make more. I've performed in front of a live audience, about 4 times or 5, not really sure. Hah. Music is just a big part of my life, and I wouldn't know where I would be without it. Even though I'm very picky about what music I listen to, it doesn't mean I'm closed minded about "everything". I do like swing, and a bit of jazz, but I didn't want anyone to know that, but now that's too late. Hah. Oh, and my friend Randeva, wants me to add, that I listen to a VERY TINY, SMALL, EXTREMELY TINY amount of R&B. Like maybe 5 songs, [Laugh out Loud] actually I wouldn't know how many.

Another thing you should know about me, is that I am a buddhist. No, I'm not those kind that meditate and rub that fat guy's belly. If I tell you what kind of buddhist I am, you will have no idea what I'm talking, and to be honest, I'm not really good at explaining it. So I would probably tell you to ask more about it to my dad. I'm a Nichrien Buddhist, and for some of you that think I'm saying "Nature Buddhist", you're wrong. By the way, I don't believe in God, just to make it clear. I'm sick of people telling me that I'm going to hell, when my religion doesn't believe in hell. We believe that hell is a feeling not a place. We also believe in reincarnation. Personally, I rather believe in reincarnation than a "man" deciding if we're good or bad, but that's just my opinion. I've been told that I'm going to hell from a lot of people, even when I was in 1st grade. So saying that just shows that people have no respect for other people's religion when this is a free country. As my friend Randeva says, "That's just ignorant." I totally agree. One thing I don't agree with though, is that she keeps telling me I'm going to be reincarnated into a rock, but at least she respect my religion a bit. I'll respect your religion, as long as you respect mine.

Lately, I've been trying to make people smile. Well, actually I've always loved to make people smile because then I know that they're enjoying our conversation, and I smile and people smile. It makes everything seem great. The biggest thing that I have done to make people smile, is these videos on YouTube. I made a character called Angry Angie. "She" was a good experience because now I know that people on YouTube, well most of them, are very cold hearted. Some of them can be very nice! But honestly, that's only some. I had an equally amount of good feed back, and horrible feed back. It really damages your spirit knowing that when you try to make people laugh or even smile a little, that they just hate it. I really felt like just giving up on making videos, even though I know I was talented at it. People even asked me if I enjoyed acting. To be honest, I've never "acted" in my life, until I realize that what I was doing is acting. Hah.

One other thing you got to know about me, is that I'm the type that love action, horror, and comedy movies! One of my favorites of all time, is Hot Fuzz! I love british comedy and Simon Pegg is the reason why I love it. It's just brilliant with loads of twists! I really love horror, but there hasn't been one scary movie that actually scared me. I don't know why I'm into action, I just think it's cool. I don't like the romantic movies, most of the time. It bores me because it's very predictable. I don't like predictable movies at all because then it just ruins the entire movie! Personally, I think that is a waste of money, if the movie is going to be predictable.

I'm not going to write a big paragraph for everything else, but I'll just write two sentences about everything else [; PLEASE; do not judge me by my skin color, I'm not just "white". I'm half american, from my dad's side and half peruvian, from my mom's side. I sing, as I told you before. I started dancing at the age of 8, I took dance classes of ballet, tap, and jazz. I still dance, but not in front of people, the last time I performed in front of people, there was over 500 people watching, and I was right in the center. I started to do photography when I figured out I was good at it! I even bought a special lens to take even more incredible pictures. Those are my main talents.

I am a very good writer. Well, at least writing plays. I love just writing stories that I made because I can control the twist and everything! It just feels so great. I've been writing stories since I was little. Around the age of ten. Afterwards, all my stories were 50-70 pages long. Recently, they've gotten longer. My recent play is about creates, like witches and vampires going to the "human world". That play right now is about 80 pages long. If anyone wants to be in my play, please ask me! I would love to have you in my play!
