Assignment 1- Julian Perry 5th

My name is Julian Perry, but you can't call me that. That would just be silly. Call me Julian. No, not Call Me Maybe. You may not have my number. That song isn't even relevant anymore. While on the topic, though, I can say that music is a greater passion of mine, like fine wine and the rich smell of mahogany. I am self-taught at the piano and guitar, and have been taking lessons for the cello for many years. When I play the guitar, I usually climb up in a tree, stare at the stars, and write about my feelings in a song that I will eventually title "Trees Have Feelings Too." I enjoy long walks on the beach (especially at sunset), as well as biking around my neighborhood. I also play video games in my spare time, on my computer.

I hang out with friends. I have a part-time job at Kroger, I try to keep ahead of my homework as best as I can, but I'm human like everyone else. I make mistakes. I forget. I do try my best, though, and most of the time it's good enough. I would love the superpower of flight/super speed to let me do more throughout my day, because time management is something I struggle with at times.

My favorite band is a choice I'm unable to make, but I can do a top 5 list. Cake, The Beatles, Rise Against, Snow Patrol, and... yeah, I still can't do it. Chili Peppers, Sinatra, Beach Boys, Sublime... Too many to decide.

I enjoy English more than any other class, and it tends to show on my tests. Writing is something I enjoy a lot, but I always feel like I wouldn't have enough time for it as a hobby so I never really try. Maybe senior year. For now, I'm going to focus on keeping my grades up and making my "hardest year of high school" a little less unbearable in any way that I can.

Yours truly,

                            Julian

P.S.  Here's a website that I go to when I'm bored or in an awkward social situation and don't want to talk to anyone. Cracked has comedy articles written on subjects everyone can relate too, a lot of which are geeky facts about anything from ancient abandoned and underground cities to crazy coincidences that changed history.

P.S.S.  ^Here's a video I found a couple weeks ago.^ The emotion put into that is so visible on his face during the entire reading. It still gets to me.
