(I'm so sorry for all of the cringe that used to exist on this account. If I come back, it'll be better. I hope.)

Hello! My name is Brooke. I started this account as lotrfangirl14 in 2014, changed it to Ellastaniel (ship name. don't ask), and then left it as BJKaplan for a long time. I've been inactive for about two years, but maybe I'll write here again for a while.

3. Jesus

4. Fangirl-ness
  - I don't even know how many times I've watched Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit? Tauriel doesn't exist, Peter Jackson. You have disappointed me greatly.
  - BTS, Super Junior, Pentagon, Monsta X, NCT, BIGBANG, Astro, EXO. Yes, I have biases, bias wreckers, and that one guy you just stan unconditionally for each group. Judge me
  - Owl City. Just...Adam Young is life. He has a girlfriend now and I'm proud of him. :3
  - My local teen outreach/mission organization. They honestly just mean so much to me. I'm so thankful for all of the amazing friends-both teens and adults-that I've made in the last year since getting involved with them.

Thanks for reading. I hope you're having a great day, and if not, know that things get better. :)
