Hi I'm Gillian aka Goose aka Gilligan aka Gilligalotional. Don't ask. I am a 16-year-old sophomore in Washington with red hair (It has not yet been determined whether or not I am a leprechaun, vampire, devil, or witch). I have been a dancer for the past 13 years (I dance about 10 hours in a normal week). I have done ballet (my favorite!!), tap, jazz (my least favorite!!), lyrical, and pointe (for 3 years now). I know it's cliché but I love the color pink. I also love love love love (yes I love it that much) reading!! Whether it's poetry, short stories, or full-length novels I just love reading them. In the past 74 days (since 1 January 2015) I have read 37 books.

-Groucho Marx

I almost always hate the movie adaptations of books (i.e. Eragon, TFIOS, Mockingjay, etc.)  with a few exceptions (If I Stay is one of them.. That movie > that book). I have however read a bunch of books that would make great movies, such as:

Matched by Ally Condie
The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau 
Everlost by Neil Shusterman
Uglies by Scott Westerfield
Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger 

Just to name a few. I love school for the most part. I love Math, English, Spanish, etc. I hate science (maybe just my science teachers?) and history (maybe also teachers...). When I was younger I wanted to be an artist. I then realized that wasn't a very realistic goal since newsflash I kind of suck at art. I now want to be something in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) category.

That was probably way more than anyone really needs to know about me. I am extremely shy and only have a few really close friends. I don't really like to talk about myself, even though I am pretty amazing (and completely humble). I don't know how to end this so I guess I'll end it with Karl Marx's dying quote...

"Go away. Last words are for fools who haven't said enough."
