I am an abnormal person (most of the time in a good way.) My personality is eccentric‚ along with my hobbies and skills. Much of my life is aberrant from beginning to end.

Growing up I read almost everyday. Reading took me to places I never thought I would go. I’ve been an alien fighting against others to save earth‚ a lost bird looking for my mother‚ a highschool kid going through what every other high school kid goes through. Of course that was before technology took over my life but I still manage to pick up a book every now and then.

My obstacles started as a baby. I was conceived when my mother was only thirteen years old. She lost custody of me and my older three siblings
