Just My Story

By: Me

My name is Alex,
I'm 13 years old.
I am a Mormon.
I am also pansexual, and pretty much no one in my friend group is straight.
I love the outdoors, but not necessarily being outside.
I have social anxiety and am kind of introverted.
I play the violin and can sing.
I play rec soccer, but fall 2016 is my last season.
My favorite band is Area 11.
I don't have a favorite color because I can't decide on one.
Favorite food? Probably Papa John's Pizza.
I can write stories and love reading, but I really don't like writing essays and being forced to read books I don't like.
I can seem like either the sweetest person on the planet or the deadliest, and can switch between those personalities at the snap of your fingers.
I honestly don't like my laugh, or the fact when I get excited I talk loud, or that I angry-cry.
If I get pent-up energy in me I shake my hands as though I'm shaking water off them or scratch my arms.
I love my fox onesie.
I still sleep with my pink blankets I call my Fuzzies, and I sleep with a stuffed bear named Bear Bear.
Geometry is the worst subject ever, and Algebra follows it.
I don't trust my parents with my phone, backpack, laptop, or basically anything that's mine.
I like to cosplay, even though I can't buy anything to make them with because if I want something I have to pay for it myself and I'm broke 24/7.
I'm very competitive.
I know basic American Sign Language.
I get sunburnt VERY easily.
I procrastinate a lot.
I love the Yogscast.
The only convention I've ever been to was Lexington Comic and Toy Convention.
I've met Karen Gillian.
I'm double jointed in my elbows, and my fingers stretch really weirdly.
I have a habit of biting the corner of my mouth and I don't realize I do it until I taste blood.
But that's just me, and I'm only one human, so what's your story?
