hello everyone. <waves> i've been a patient little child for the past few weeks, and now am thrilled with my power to post...woohoo! my name's amy and i am a 17 year-old female in the suburbs of long island, ny. 45 minutes to penn station(34th street, manhattan)by train. i also happen to live in the "ghetto" of long island. i guess it makes it even more so unbearable. you can normally find me somewhere with my knotted up headphones on. it gets me through my normally dull life. i tend to observe the idiocy in my school's cafeteria through tinted glasses-radiohead, blur, kula shaker, pulp, b&s, aphex twin, dylan, donovan, etc,. depends on my mood and how rowdy my fellow students are. i have a new-found love for literature now. which doesn't necessarily mean i love the best authors in the world. my favorite authors include: huxley, joseph sheridan le fanu, phil rickman, richard matheson, vonnegut, james joyce and e. e. cummings. i wish i had the time to read more, but the menial tasks of school require my attention. i used to be an art-school girly. in my mind anyway. i'm a documentary/landscape photographer, and i admit my photographs are what really helped get me into college. my writing isn't close to spectacular. i attended the pre-college program in photography in the puck building at pratt two summers ago, and the pre-college program in photography at the school of visual arts(sva)last summer. if any of you were at either program, don't hesitate to e-mail me. :) the biggest chunk of my life has been taking up by singing lately. i am currently in 2 of my school's choir, singing alto in the mixed and soprano in the select choir. i'm really an alto at heart though. i was an alto in ny's all-state chorus and alto in the county's chorus. the all-state choir led me to believe that it is possible for anyone with a decent body and a decent voice to get in. it was a disapointment. i sing opera, classical, spiritual(for choir), and broadway. i also hope to start a band one day which can accomodate my voice. it should be fun. i'm attending bennington(bennington, vt) next year. i hope to combine vocal music, photography and creative writing and create some sort of program. i also wish i was on the stage 24 hours a day, but hopefully that time will come in college. now all you lovely people know my hobbies and goals. hopefully this list could act as a therapist. just kidding :). i've just found out that beck has sold-out valentine's day in ny...i'm very upset. i didn't know tickets went on sale yesterday. i am going to stop this dreadfully long post now and cry into my seafood bisque. thank you darlings for reading, and i would appreciate any fellow new yorkers or humans in general to respond back. amy. http://www.angelfire.com/ny/britpopoasis/index.html visit the writing page and give me some feedback. thank you. :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
