My proudest/happiest moment

I have a lot of moments that made me proud or happy, but the one that first comes to mind is the time that I made first clarinet in band. I switched into band halfway through the first semester this year, and I could hardly play my instrument. I was struggling with the easiest music that we had. I practiced really really hard for the placement test, but I expected that I would get stuck in third clarinet because I didn't feel very confident about it.

When I came in the day of the results someone congratulated me in getting first clarinet and I honestly thought that they were joking, because there could be no way I had done that. But I checked and I had, in fact, gotten first clarinet and it was extremely exciting. I'm very proud of myself for practicing so hard and doing something that I enjoy.

Favorite Music

It's very difficult for me to choose just one favorite artist from this country, because I love so many, but I think my one favorite band is My Chemical Romance. The band members are from New Jersey, although most of them don't live there anymore. They actually aren't even a band anymore though, because they broke up last year ;-;. I have listened to this band since I was young, and their music makes me very happy. A reason I love them so much is because each of their albums are very different and unique. There's really a song/album for any mood that you're in.

My favorite band from a different country are the Arctic Monkeys, who are from England. My favorite album from that band is AM. I love this album because it is very different from their previous albums. The album is really nice, and has some great slow songs on it.

Life Goals

I don't really have a certain plan for my future right at the moment. Mostly I'm hoping to move to a big city to go to college. I was hoping to move to New York City or Portland, Oregon, but I'm not too sure yet. I don't know what I want to study in college yet, but I kind of want to pursue something in writing. I'm really hoping to get my own apartment when I'm older and get a sphynx cat. I also want to start a band with my friends that live in New York. I also want to own a pet snake when I get my own house, because my parents won't let me have one now. I might also get two lip piercings, because my parents won't really allow that either. I don't really have anything else planned for my life, but I look forward to reading everyone else's posts as well!

My Favorite Books

My favorite books would probably have to be: The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, and the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. I guess that is more than three books, but I can't really choose just one of the Harry Potter books. They are my favorite books because there are a lot of great lessons in them. I had at first never heard of John Green when I read The Fault in Our Stars, although he is a pretty popular author. I was first introduced to the book by my mother. I didn't think it would be a good book, but it made me cry a lot and it has some great quotes in them. The Perks of Being a Wallflower was a book that I could relate to a little. It's definitely a book that made me cry a lot too. The Harry Potter books were a big part of my childhood. The more I reread them, the more details and meanings I find in them and I think they're very brilliant books. I especially love how huge of a world Rowling created with those books. 

My Favorite Holiday

My favorite holiday is probably Halloween. It is on the 31st of October. Every Halloween people dress up in costumes of their choice. Many people decorate their house with decorations like fake spiders and pumpkins with faces or pictures carved into them. The pumpkins are called Jack-o-lanterns because you put a candle in them at night so you can see the faces. In the evening, children go out in their costumes and Trick-or-treat. Trick or treating is when they go door to door and receive candy from their neighbors. This holiday is my favorite, mainly because it is also my birthday. It's also very fun to go out with friends with costumes.

About Me:

 Hi! My name is Cordelia, and I am in my second year of high school. I'm almost 15 years old (my birthday is on the 31st!). I take 6 different classes in school, which is a lot less than what you guys have to do. My favorite class in school is band, because I enjoy music, and the marching uniforms are really funny. I live in a smaller town about 10 minutes away from Fortuna, where I have lived since I was five. I live with my dad and step mom, but I visit my mom and step dad sometimes too. I live with my little sister Cecelia, but I also have three step brothers, and a step sister. I also have two cats at home named Jack and Salem.

 I enjoy music, and writing a lot. I like any type of music, but I usually listen to a lot of rock or punk. I like to write poetry and short stories in my free time. My favorite food is anything that contains noodles, because I love noodles. My favorite animals are cats, because they are really cute and weird. I have a few friends in the class, but a lot of my friends don't even live in the area, which makes me sad sometimes, but they're still really great friends. I don't really do a whole lot, so I'm not too interesting, but I'm very much looking forward to hearing from you guys!
