# About me

Hi! I'm not that new here anymore! :) I'm a bit weirder than the average person, but I can't imagine being any different. I love meeting new people. If I'm around my friends I'm insanely excited and personable, but sometimes I wonder how I got any of my friends in the first place, IRL. I love discovering things and I hope I'll never be seen shirking from the opportunity to gain knowledge. I'm passionate about helping people, fashion, photography, swimming, reading, running, laughing, expressing, singing, googling, doodling, dancing, and painting my nails ;). Let's be friends .

Favourite genre of music: alternative/folk/rock
Favourite style of art: expressive portraits
MP3 player of choice: sansa
Favourite cartoon character: Calvin and Hobbs
Personal Quote: ... It made sense in my head...

Oh, I'm with you, sort of . First I was finishing up with exams and then summer training started. I'm a competitive swimmer, so I practice 23-1/2 hours a week, and when I'm not swimming I'm sleeping. Literally. I get up, swim, go back to sleep, get up, eat, swim, study, eat, go to bed. Then it starts over.
I really love it, since my best friends are on the team with me . It is insanely time consuming though. What made it worse was taking three online classes too. I don't think I'll ever finish the last one!!

Yeah for me replying almost a month late! Oh well, I guess that's how its got to be.
Currently I'm taking:
At a public high school: Dance 3, Latin 2, chorus, chemistry honors, AP psychology.
With my mum: 19th century American history
Online: Pre-calc

What about you? I don't know about where you live, but in America I think you'd be a senior in high school (you're 17-18 right?), which would be your last year before university! Or are you already in uni? Gosh, I hope I haven't asked you this before... forgive me if I had. I'm getting over a cold so everything is a bit fuzzy

rosieaprilleeson In reply to swimmer13 [2011-09-16 12:12:44 +0000 UTC]

Haha it's no worries
Woooww sounds like hard work!
Yeahh i'm in England so i've just finished school and i'll be starting uni in about a week, scary times!
Ohh colds are the worsttt, especially when you have loads of work to do. Hope you get well soon!

Um suco de laranja, por favor! hah, I just looked up common portuguese phrases and I got how to ask for orange juice! Very, very important to know....

Supposedly "velke" means "great".

miguelazevedo In reply to swimmer13 [2011-04-18 20:02:35 +0000 UTC]

nice (some space to improve then)

"obrigada" = thank you
"olรก" = hello
"adeus" = goodbye

portuguese 101

Hah, thank you for the portuguese 101. I'll write those down! I have heard of "adeus" before (from The Sound of Music, of course). Is "ola" pronounced in the same way as the Spanish "hola"?

miguelazevedo In reply to swimmer13 [2011-04-24 18:28:58 +0000 UTC]

I'm so jealous!
I was born in the same city I live in now and rarely been able to travel. I do have family out in California though, so I visited it once. Traveling seems amazing, I'd love to see the world. Such awesome photogarphic opportunites
Do you like the states or Norway better (I know, what a question!)?

swimmer13 In reply to himokape [2011-03-17 20:01:52 +0000 UTC]

That is truly awesome! I hope you get to move to Minneapolis. I love it here in the states, but I can't be satisfied without seeing more of the world.
This is kind of interesting... my ancestory is from Sweden, and my mother grew up about an hour from Minneapolis! Hah, never been there myself but she loved it.

I have to leave now, but have a good rest of the day! By the way, thank you for the watch!!
