So this is me. This is me, on a bus, early in the morning, with my viola and iPod. Therefore I wasn't quite awake, but I actually don't have many "normal" pictures of myself... hmm. 
In addition to playing viola, I play violin: 
And various percussion stuff:  
(though not very well) My family is pretty awesome. My parents got divorced when I was 6 which isn't awesome, but now I have a very interesting step dad and two completely bizarre step brothers, so that makes life interesting. Starting from the left, the back row goes: Duncan (step bro, 15 this July) Andrew (brother, 16) Logan (step bro, 17) Andrew Hunter (step dad. We won't go into ages with the adults but let's just say he hit the 40 mark last week, hehe. We gave him this huge surprise birthday party. lots of fun). Then the second row starts with my Nona (great grandmother) Nonie (grandmother) Me, and then ends with my mom. The front row is my Mom's sister Andrea, followed by my cousin Madeline or Maddie for short, Bailey my other cousin, my Uncle Tom, and lastly my youngest brother Benjamin at age 14. My boyfriend Kyle took the picture. We were on vacation at the outer banks. 
Andrew, my brother, just started getting into acting. In the fall play for this past school year, he got a lead in the play Androcles and the Lion as the part of the lion. Yeah. That's him. The big fuzzy brown thing. He also sings a lot. The both of us are going to sing the National Anthem sometime this summer for the first annual bike race in Reading. 
Ben started playing the flute a few years ago. He just started taking it seriously and made it into the first flute section this year at band. He also plays with the orchestra. It's always easy to pick him out because he's the only guy flute player. Hehe. He's thinking of picking up either trumpet or guitar this summer. 
In addition, we also have lots of pets:  
  Those were just a few... but the puppy is Caprica. She's full grown, now, but she's a mini jack russel terror, opps, I mean terrior. Then Orsen is the loopy mut. He does this gazel leap when he runs that is just hilarious. The ducks and chickens you see there are only a few of what we have. The chickens in that picture are still babies though we have about a dozen full grown ones. Then our cat Arthur turns out to not be a male when we figured out she was pregnant. Arthur becomes Artimus and we get four little ones in the process. You see three there. We kept the one with the most white and my boyfriend kept the other two. The fourth we gave away before that picture was taken. Kyle could probably be considered part of the family, too, since he's around so much. Well, more than any non-family member at any rate. His hair is shorter, now, but I really like this picture and haven't uploaded my prom pictures yet. 
My friends are pretty awesome. This is some of us playing spoons. Spoons and Egyptian Ratscrew are the highlight of every pmea music festival. Oh yeah, we didn't have any spoons so we were using my gum. 
Hehe. We all love each other very much.  
 
Oh yeah. This is our quartet, too. 
It's more fun than it looks. Hehe. Anyway. No matter how you look at it, I have a pretty awesome and interesting life.
