"What's that you're saying there? Rain rushing, window pane...""...Oh well..." Richmond Academy [for the Gifted] is a school that specializes in music. For years it has been a sanctuary for those who eat, sleep, and breath music notes. For years it has provided schooling for those who need music to function. And for years, it has been held in high esteem for the brilliant musicians that it has produced. No matter the genre of music played by the student, there is always a teacher who can perfectly accompany said student down his road to glory. Classical, rock, pop, country, etc. Richmond Academy has accepted any student, despite his stature, despite his taste in music, despite his character.
But recently, Richmond Academy has accepted into their school ten of the most gifted children in the age... Or so it is said. Each plays different instruments, different genres of music... And each has their own sad song to be heard. And it is in the midst of these ten teenagers that enemies, love, lust, friendship, heartbreak, and so much more sprout. It is in the midst of these teenagers that the most important lesson is to be learned... "...Not sure what space I'm in, but I'm safe inside me here."

"All things aside; Afraid or not...""...I will be enough for you..."Follow these rules and you'll survive the school year... Also, new rules can be added at anytime, so stay up to date!
oo1. LITERACY IS GOLD.
[.To simply put it, I love literacy.
No text talk!
It doesn't need to be absolutely perfect.
I'm sure no one is a grammar expert here.
Or even a spelling expert, for that matter.
But, at least try.]
oo2. POSTING MATTERS.
[.Please use third person.
Past tense.
Oh, and no *...*'s for actions.
I know some people do that.
And make sure we know that you're talking...
"...". Writer's best friend ^___^
And please don't post one-liners.
I can understand writer's block.
But try to do something others can work off of.
That way we don't get a dry spell.
Oh, and did I mention I hate chat speak in posts?
If it's for OOC, it's alright.
And speaking of OOC...
Make sure we know when you're doing it!
Maybe mark it with [[...]] or ((...))]
oo3. CHARACTER PROFILES.
[.Use the Character Skeleton located below.
If you don't use mine, I won't be very happy...
Failure to make me happy, and you will be
denied access into the roleplay...
Until you fill it out right!
Also.
Use first person when filling it out.
Lastly.
PM me the profiles.
Entitle it "Music is my Air."
And if you're smart...
you'll highlight the empty area at the end of the rules.]
oo4. ON LOVE AND WAR.
[.Romance is encouraged.
But, I ask you now.
Don't cyber!
Also, fighting is encouraged.
But, your character is not perfect.
You have to get hit sometime, right?
Can't dodge everything, after all...
That'd be difficult!
Oh, and don't auto-hit...
a.k.a God Modding.
Big No-No!]
oo5. RESPECT.
[.Respect my roleplay.
Respect your fellow roleplayers.
Respect my Mods.
Respect me.
Respect yourself.]
kthxxx <3
I thought it over, and I actually want the PM title to be: "To Find My Song". "...When I am gone; All things aside."

"I watch you fast asleep. All I fear means nothing...""...My sanctuary; Music inside..."The Girls x x _ m o n e t _ x x {xx.the basics.xx} The name on my birth certificate is [Serena Rose Lockhart]. But you can call me [Rena or Sa], if you like.
My birthday was on [April 22] and I blew out [17] candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a [Girl], who stands at [5'5] and weighs in at [105 lbs.].
And did I mention... I have [golden-green] eyes and [black && blonde] hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm [Happy-Go-Lucky... And what if I am? I love laughing and I love to make people laugh and smile. I can be a bit of a jokester on the sarcastic side, but that's my sort of humor. My friends say I'm flirtatious, and I won't deny that... And frankly, it seems as though I flirt with both guys and girls. Yeah, I can be childish and hyper and fun-loving, but I'll tell you a little secret: I don't always act like that.
When I'm around my brother or with close friends or, just in general, a small group of people... I'm down to earth. I've always been kind-hearted and sweet in a cutesy sort of way. I can tone it down, and people who see me in this state often say I'm more artistic and dreamy... Creative... Imaginative. And perhaps I am!
It's difficult to get me mad, but it's not impossible. I may be optimistic, but I speak out for what I believe in and I'll stand up for what I think is right, no matter who it is opposing me. I'm not easily irritated, but I am one for liking people too easily and getting hurt in the end].
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: [My past consists of enough pain to last me a lifetime. My parents got divorced when I turned fifteen, though I knew their fights had started since I was in the first grade. Between that, I grew apart from them and began hanging out with a different crowd. I got into drinking in my seventh grade, but by eighth grade, I had quit after meeting my first boyfriend, Peter. We broke up later that year, and I met this older guy, Greg, who raped me within a month of our dating. I was never the same from that... Sure, I met a few guys who have loved me... Alex, Nathan, Justin, Christian, Ryan... BUt I could never really love any of them back... And all of them hurt me in their own special way. You could say I'm unlucky with the male species... I guess]. {xx.the school-related.xx} I am an all-powerful [Junior].
The classes that I chose to take were [Music Appreciation, Music Genres, History of Classical, Recording and Composing Music, Roots/Rock/Reggae, and an Independent Study] because I play [guitar, piano, ukulele, violin, and I sing].
After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room [3] and I listen to my song... [Change Your Mind by The All-American Rejects or Dance Inside by The All-American Rejects]. {xx.the other.xx}
Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love [colorful objects, sweet things, rain, the night sky, snow, boys, eyeliner, striped clothing, drawing hearts, and cute things.] and frankly, I abhor [bullies, close-mindedness, loud noises, bright lights, people who control others, being caged, being told what to do, raw onions, raw garlic, and people who are angry at the world for no apparent reason].
Other than playing music, I like to [write, read, take pictures, swim, and horse-back ride]. And other than that [I have a Husky whose name is Nikko].
...My master is pulling my strings...
[x x _ m o n e t _ x x] TeHsChNoZbErRy  {xx.the basics.xx}The name on my birth certificate is Avery Marie Autumn. But you can call me Avery, if you like.
My birthday was on July the Fourth and I blew out Seventeen candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a Female, who stands at Five foot, Four inches and weighs in at 112.
And did I mention... I have Hazel eyes and Red hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm A cold person. I don't talk to anyone, or do anything outside of my music and school. I am intelligent and a bit of a smart a**. I learned not to hold people up to standards, for they usually fall short. I keep my responses short and to the point when people ask me questions or talk to me. I prefer to be alone with my microphone rather than in a crowd with my guitar. I'm very vocal in my classes when I'm asked to be, and I'm considered a 'good student' by most of my teachers. My math teacher's just an a*****e and doesn't like any of his students except the know-it-alls..
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: My father was a negligent drunk, and my twin brother was a wimp. Whenever he came home from work he'd plop onto the couch and stair at the wall until dinner. Because of this, my grandmother stepped in to take care of my brother and I. 'Take care' is a relative term. To her, it meant making us learn how to clean up after her and our father and avoid whippings. If we weren't perfect, she'd get my father's belt and whip our behinds. She died when I turned fifteen, and I began taking care of my family. No one came to take us away from our lazy a** father, but I was sure I'd be in a better place soon enough.
How does music fit into all this? I picked up a guitar when I was six, and I began to learn quickly. It was one of the things my grandmother liked. If I was in trouble, I'd play for her to calm her down. It soon became my punishment instead of the whippings. I began to sing along, and I'd play music for my brother for when he was scared as a little kid. I kept on practicing, and soon mastered it. I went into competitions, because my grandmother thought I'd win scholarships and she wouldn't have to pay for college. {xx.the school-related.xx}
I am an all-powerful Junior.
The classes that I chose to take were History of Metal, Music Appreciation, Operas and Singing, Reading and Composing Music, and Music Genres because I play My vocal chords and my Guitar.
After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room One and I listen to my song... Change Nothing by I Nine {xx.the other.xx}
Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love my little brother, cooking, music, solitude. and frankly, I abhor my father, my math teacher, crowds, idiots, people who talk too much. Things like that..
Other than playing music, I like to read, cook, clean, and read.. And other than that I love solitude, if you don't mind.
...My master is pulling my strings...
[TeHsChNoZbErRy] dragonhealer  {xx.the basics.xx} The name on my birth certificate is Benny Omen. But you can call me Ben or Beck, if you like.
My birthday was on the Nineteenth of January and I blew out seventeen candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a female, who stands at five feet and six inches and weighs in at one-hundred and eighteen pounds.
And did I mention... I have blackish-grey eyes and brownish-blond hair. {xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm not in the moment. I tend to drift in my own thoughts only to surface and find everything different than it once was. When I’m paying attention I’m upbeat and thoughtful. I want to make everyone around me’s day better, not worse. I long for their approval and lust after human smiles or praise. No matter how good I sound to other’s I will always sound only half there to myself. And it is that deep rooted self loathing that drives me forward.
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: I was born in a small Midwestern city. My mother and father divorced when I was three and I don’t remember my mother very much. She never did anything for me to remember her by. My father is a school teacher at the local high school. He teaches American history to advanced freshmen, and computers when he needs to. He and I have always shared a love of history; my little brother has not. My bro is five years younger than me, gay, and a total jerk. If I had to blame my mental flaws on someone it would have to be him. Ever sine he could talk he has told me that he hates me. He has told me everything he can find that is wrong with me, and he has never supported my musical talent. When I was twelve he called me fat, and that was when I began to battle anorexia. For those four hard years I was a mess, but now things are looking up. I avoid him and I just try to improve myself in smaller ways. Maybe if I try hard enough Perfection will come. {xx.the school-related.xx}
I am an all-powerful Junior.
The classes that I chose to take were Operas and Singing, Music Appreciation, Recording and Composing Music, Music Genres because I play Guitar, vocal, Piano, and some electric bass..
After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room 4 and I listen to my song... Norah Jones - Don't Know Why. {xx.the other.xx}
Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love almonds, bright colors, sweet scents, kids, pillows, sunshine, springtime, flowers, rhinestones, socks and frankly, I abhor the dark, old men, the color grey, myself, winter, unhappiness, Science, studying, sugar, polyester sheets.
Other than playing music, I like to read history books, draw, garden, sew, tattoo. And other than that I can’t move the toes on my left foot.
...My master is pulling my strings...
dragonhealer clara33 {xx.the basics.xx}The name on my birth certificate is [Atamia Rayven Paein]. But you can call me [Ata, or Ray], if you like.
My birthday was on [October, 13] and I blew out [15] candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a [Girl, who stands at [5'2"] and weighs in at [102 pounds].
And did I mention... I have [hazel] eyes and [black(and brown highlights)] hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm [a jerk. I refuse to believe anyone has feelings, because I myself have shut them away. I tend to put people on the spot unintentionally, and have a strange fascination for the earth and natural phenomenons. I hate people who litter and pollute, and write many songs that seem to have no words, just tunes that imitate the noises of the outside world. In my free time, I read and listen to music on an MP3 player outside and just sit there. I Don't really do anything but listen and read.].
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: [My parents were not time managers. They didn't have time for her and her siblings. They didn't know or care if their children had special talents, or were hurt, they just wanted to get money and to do it the easy way. Until I was about 13, being alone was OK with me. I could practice singing, and no one would bother me about it. But one day, everything changed. My view on the world, that it was a place of oppertunities and happiness, was ended in pain-ridden tears.
What happened was...well. I was walking home from school, thinking about nothing in particular, when I was grabbed from behind with someone's hands up my shirt. I knew this may be one of those rapists, and screamed, but it was really one of my best friends. It turned out he had a mental instability, and I wasn't allowed to see him anymore. He had liked me since pre-grade school, when we had become friends, and never telling me about it led him to groping me. This wasn't what I was worried about. I was just suddenly aware of a world that I hadn't considered before. A world where nothing was perfect, where life must be hell. I wasn't beaten, my parents just didn't have time for me. I didn't have any issues, mental or otherwise, and I had thought this for years. But when I was browsing the web one day, I came upon Neglecting parents, a two-page story about what neglecting your child could do to them. I went deeper in, and found that my parents were doing just that. Neglecting their children. I stopped thinking of them as trying to get money to feed their kids, and more of trying to get away from them. So I went off and spent more time alone, outside, looking at the world around me. Then, one day, I decided to practice my instruments outside. I was found to be one of the top ten high school students, and was taken in for my first year.] {xx.the school-related.xx}
I am an all-powerful [Freshman].
The classes that I chose to take were [Operas and singing, the Roots of [scr]e[a]mo, composing classics, Music appreciation, Recording and composing music, History of metal, and Music Genres] because I play [Flute, Piano Forte, electric guitar, trumpet, and the mic(I sing)].
After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room [5] and I listen to my song... [Cold, by Crossfade.] {xx.the other.xx}
Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love [Reading, emo music, nature, knowing how things work, b***h-slapping assholes, quiet, and taking showers long enough to drain Lake Ontario,] and frankly, I abhor [assholes, loud noises, 'drama' in the hallway, people making out obviously in public, people who think that education is a waste of time, people calling me a 'sweet little girl', bullies(whom she has no respect for), people who go fishing for comments, and little kids who were brought up as total brats].
Other than playing music, I like to [read, sing, build things, spend time in the library, and collect abandoned pencils from the floor]. And other than that, [I love kitties and other animals. I'm even OK with insects, and have caught a fish with my bare hands. It got away, though.]
...My master is pulling my strings...
[Clara33] Blue Winged  {xx.the basics.xx}The name on my birth certificate is [Anne Rika Eri]. But you can call me [Anne], if you like.
My birthday was on [the twenty-fifth of May] and I blew out [seventeen] candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a [Girl, who stands at [5'5] and weighs in at [115 pounds].
And did I mention... I have [dark-brown] eyes and [black] hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm [Serious, but at the same time absent-minded. During class I doodle over my papers and write little stanzas of music in the margins. Surprisingly, I do pretty well at school. I seem to always be focused on something, but usually I'm just thinking of how that new piece would sound. Actually, I guess I am really focused, but only about music.
I like to look at myself sometimes, just to make sure I'm still pretty, as if it were a magic spell that would go away at midnight. Yes, I'm in-secure, maybe that's why I don't talk to many people. That would make sense right? I'm also bad at reading people, so it seems like I always say the wrong things or talk at the wrong time. I wish I was some kind of social princess, but I doubt that wish would ever come true. Maybe I'm just trying too hard to find 'the perfect friend'... I've been depressed before, like almost everybody else, but it's harder for me to get out of the hole because I don't have anybody real to talk too.]
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this; [When I was little, my mom yelled at me. It wasn't just 'Oh Anne, clean your room now!', it was 'Anne, you're a failure! Get out, get out NOW!'. Everyday she would shriek at me and my dad. We didn't know what was wrong with her, she didn't drink, or smoke, or anything. It scared me every time she yelled. I spent a lot of days crying myself to sleep because she just wouldn't stop! I became withdrawn at school. I didn't try to make 'best-friends'. Not many people talked to me, because I wasn't pretty then. Or at least, my mother said so. Actually, it went more like 'You ugly little kid, I hate you!'.
When I was ten, my dad had finally had enough. He filed for divorce, on the grounds of verbal abuse. He won of course, everybody on the street had heard my mother exploding. I went with him, and he put me in therapy. He knew how deep mom's words went, even if I didn't. The therapist told him I needed an outlet for all my pent-up emotions, she suggested musical-therapy. Dad listened, he was a smart guy, after all. I was entered into piano lessons, and I loved them. I was soon consumed with music, everyday, for hours I would just sit at the grand piano and play. Eventually I took up the violin as well, because it seemed like it made a great companion to piano, it made him so proud to hear his little daughter from downstairs, regardless of the instrument. I grew more skilled throughout the years. I won competitions, I was asked to enroll in Richmond because of my talents. And I did.] {xx.the school-related.xx}I am an all-powerful Junior].
The classes that I chose to take were [History of Classical Music, Composing Classics, Operas and Singing, and Music Appreciation] because I play [piano and violin, I'm working on my opera singing].
After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room [2] and I listen to my song... [The Myth - Endless Love] {xx.the other.xx}
Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love [classical music, playing instruments, being secure and composing] and frankly, I abhor [deafening music and bad personalities].
Other than playing music, I like to [read, dance, and draw]. And other than that [I've yet to believe in romance for myself]
...My master is pulling my strings...

"We are not alone; We feel an unseen love; We are sons and heirs of grace...""...We are children of a light that never dims..."The Guys x x _ m o n e t _ x x  {xx.the basics.xx} The name on my birth certificate is [Devon James Lockhart]. But you can call me [Dev, D-Man, or DJ], if you like.
My birthday was on [February 14th] and I blew out [Nineteen] candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a [guy], who stands at [6 feet] and weighs in at [145 pounds].
And did I mention... I have [blue] eyes and [black] hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm [a bit cold on bad days. I enjoy sarcasm to the point of where I sometimes hurt people's feelings. I don't mean to be a jerk, it just kind of happens. On a good day, however, I'm a jokester. I love a good laugh! And I always try to make people smile. I often times treat my sister like she's a kid, but she goes along with it. For some reason, I love giving head pats as a sign of affection. My social skills are high in the chain I treat people that I've just met as if they're old friends. No, I don't really have a "personal bubble", and neither do I really understand the concept of "personal space". All in all, though I can be a jerk at times, but I'm a loud mouth, I'm friendly, and I love to be around people.].
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: [My life went just as my sister's. I knew of my parents fighting when I was in first grade... Serena was in kindergarden then... She couldn't understand why mom and dad were always so angry with each other. They kept promising us they would fix it, but by the time I had hit sixth grade, mom took Serena and dad took me. I ran away and back to mom, staying with my baby sister. As life went on, we got closer to one another, confiding everything in one another... And Serena and I became the best of friends. However, that changed when I got into my sophomore year. I met this lovely girl named Darci. We started dating, and she convinced me to go to her prom with her. Driving back from the prom there was a drunk driver in the road... I didn't move the car fast enough, and Darci got the full impact. She's in a coma now... And I feel like it's my fault. By, I try not to let it show... I don't like people feeling pity for me... And I already live with enough guilt... Right? After all... I loved her]. {xx.the school-related.xx} I am an all-powerful [Senior].

After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room [5] and I listen to my song... [A Whisper and A Clamor by Anberlin] {xx.the other.xx}

...My master is pulling my strings...
[x x _ m o n e t _ x x] Dae Dae  {xx.the basics.xx} The name on my birth certificate is Edward Rochester James. But you can call me [Ed, or Eddie], if you like.
My birthday was on December, 01 and I blew out 16 candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a Guy, who stands at six feet, three inches and weighs in at 150lbs.
And did I mention... I have dark green eyes and blond hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm aloof and a bit absent minded. I often daydream and forget to pay attention to my surroundings. When I am not daydreaming, I am very soft spoken, pleasant and a good listener. I will not often have much to say myself, so I prefer to listen to others. I am not very outgoing, but I am friendly and approachable. When I am alone I tend to be pensive and brooding. Often I sit quietly, either listening to music or playing for myself, and just think.
However, there are downsides to my personality. Sometimes I am quick to anger and slow to let go of grudges. It can be difficult to even know why I am angry as I become avoidant and somewhat incoherent. My passions, most notably anger, are usually hidden but can fly wild and high without reason at times..
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: I grew up in what most would call a perfect home. I had two loving parents and plenty of money; I never wanted for anything. I was an only child though and I grew up feeling very lonely. It was difficult for me to make friends in my youth. I had buck teeth, I stuttered, I wore glasses and was more interested in a cello than a football. I was an awkward child and an even more awkward preteen as it seemed to take forever for me to grow into long, gangly limbs. But as I said, I wanted for nothing; I had corrective eye surgery and braces as well as a speech therapist. It took years, but I now bear no resemblance to the child I was. And that has caused me to distrust the people who now seek out my friendship. I cannot help but feel that most are shallow and can only appreciate the person I am if that personality comes in an attractive package. But I say nothing because I do not want to be lonely out of a pointless sense of pride.
One thing has still not changed. I love the cello and practice it quite religiously. I enjoy other instruments as well and I do sing, but cello is my first love. Even my father, who went to college on a football scholarship and is still puzzled by my reluctance to try sports, has accepted what is. It was he who suggested Richmond Academy and pushed me to apply. I was reluctant at first; my music had always been something I enjoy in private. I had only ever been tutored in my home and was somewhat hesitant to brave a classroom setting, but my fears proved to be groundless. Thus far, Richmond Academy has been a very enriching experience for me. {xx.the school-related.xx}
I am an all-powerful Junior.
The classes that I chose to take were History of Classical Music, and Music Appreciation, Composing Classics, Recording and Composing Music, and Operas and Singing because I play Cello, Concert Harp, Hammered Dulcimer, Violin and I sing.
After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room 3 and I listen to my song... O Fortuna {xx.the other.xx}
Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love The quiet, night time, warm weather, dark chocolate and frankly, I abhor chaos, noise, bright light, weather extremes, overly sweet confections..
Other than playing music, I like to Swim, paint and read. And other than that I consider myself Agnostic, though my family roots are strongly Protestant. I keep decent grades that are really only lowered by my hate of doing homework. My name bothers me; I think it sounds stuffy. I named my cello Duvessa. I most definitely sing in the shower and likely do my worst, but most enjoyable singing there. It is still quite good, but certainly not the sort of thing that meets Richmond Academy standards. I often forget to eat for hours at a time and when I do finally remember my habits and choices can be strange. My appetite is finicky and what I will actually eat changes all the time. I hate to eat breakfast and make my worst choices then; I prefer cold pizza or spaghetti in the morning over just about anything else.

My birthday was on [March, 6] and I blew out [18] candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a [guy], who stands at [6'2] and weighs in at [150 lbs.].
And did I mention... I have [stormy gray] eyes and [dirty blond] hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm [the cool kid on the block. I can admit that sometimes I am a little too outspoken for my own good. It's my big mouth that gets me into trouble most of the time. Other than my troublesome manner, I like having a good time, and I'm quite the daredevil, mind you. I wouldn't mind drinking myself silly or running down the street with only a hand to cover my friend, whom I've named Frank. Although I come off a little TOO wild to people I meet, I do have that little cry-when-you-see-dead-puppies side. Yes, I do like long walks on the beach, and Yes, I can watch a romantic movie and actually enjoy it, but like I said before, it's little. That means that there's a fat chance in hell that someone will see me doing either of that. Maybe once a year? Well anyways, I'll finish off by saying, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm extremely outgoing. I have that kind of confidence to walk up to a complete stranger and just give them a kiss right on the lips.].
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: [I was the first and only baby to pop out of my mother's uterus. Because of that tiny little fact, while growing up I found myself to be routinely bored, something that I didn't enjoy one bit. My father, who was a wannabe rock star (he was too old to even think about it), suggested that I took up the electric guitar. "Besides, it will rake in the ladies," he had said. I didn't even know what that meant at my five years of age, but I decided to follow the suggestion and began taking guitar lessons. It started with one cheap, old, and beaten up acoustic guitar, but soon, when I mastered that, my mother and father bought me my very first electric guitar.
Come eight, I grew bored again. I had already learned everything I could know on the electric guitar; I was even composing my own songs! My dad was impressed with me and threw out, "why not learn the bass and the drums? Then you'll know how to play in your own band!" As bored as I was, I decided to comply. Bass was easy, and the drums, oh the drums, they were my sense of release. They made the adrenaline run through my veins (which didn't help with keeping the drumsticks un-broken), and my heart pump to alarming rates. It an incredible experience, until... I got bored again.
My mother, who was unhappy, yet tolerant, of the angry music that would leak out through the cracks of my door and the soundproof walls that encased my room, suggested a more peaceful, marching-band way of music. "Maybe piano and trumpet will be a nice change for you sweetie," she suggested as she patted my shoulder softly after one of my drum sessions. I had only shrugged and said, "why not?" and before I knew it, I was blaring show tunes through the trumpet and delicately pressing ivory keys. This is where my story cuts off though, for the story of my increasing skill continues....] {xx.the school-related.xx}I am an all-powerful [Senior].
The classes that I chose to take were [Recording and Composing Music||Roots of [Scr]e[a]emo||Composing Classics|| and Independent Study] because I play [Acoustic && Electric Guitar||Bass||Drums||Piano||Trumpet||My Voice].
After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room [2] and I listen to my song... [Stockholm Syndrome by Muse] {xx.the other.xx}Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love [Muse, Rockstar energy drinks, music, parties, girls, beer, risky sports, my Ducati motorcycle, wakeboarding, my homeland Italy, raves] and frankly, I abhor [boredom, spicy foods, the system, basketball, Red Line (really bad experience drinking that...), muffin tops, country, grandma's sweaters, teachers, losing, and lastly, sunny days].
Other than playing music, I like to [go to raves or parties, wakeboard, rock climb, mountain climb, ice climb, snowboard, play soccer, watch stand-up, and compose music]. And other than that [Yes, I'm an Italiano and I'm damn proud of it!]...My master is pulling my strings...

I'll show you that I am definitely a [Guy], who stands at [6'2"] and weighs in at [164 pounds].
And did I mention... I have [two different colored(blue and green)] eyes and [black] hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm [much older than I am. I'm the oldest with 3 younger brothers and a baby sister, so I need to be responsible most of the time. Actually, I have an older sister, too, but she's 34 and doesn't speak to the family. I also have a shy and sweet disposition. I've been told I'm kinda girly, since I'm so quiet and seem to like things girls like. So, basically, I'm mature, I'm sweet, and an introvert, as well. But hey, that's nothing to be ashamed of.].
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: [My life was....OK. Average. Well, if you can call it that. Taking care of 3 kids with a pregnant mother and a little sister on the way can be a bit of a hassle, but I loved my siblings. The most dramatic thing in my life happened about 2 years ago, when I got my girlfriend pregnant(against all necessary precautions) and we had to decide if we wanted the kid or not. We decided against abortion and, about a year later, the baby was born. Well, the babies. Twins, one girl and one boy. My parents disapproved of sharing a child and not being married/living together, so after some dispute, me and my girlfriend moved in to live in the same house. Unfortunately, we couldn't keep the kids, so we took them to get adopted. Me and my girlfriend broke up about 3 months afterward, and I went back to live with my parents again. So....nothing exciting, really. And, uh...that's about it. I got to go to the school because I did a French Horn solo onstage, the people loved it, and I got in. That's pretty much it.] {xx.the school-related.xx}

Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love [Animals of all kinds, little kids, libraries, gardening, board games, daydreaming, long walks in the fresh air, drawing/painting, and driving around] and frankly, I abhor [people who are cruel to animals or kids, bugs, the dark, the city and it's pollution, teachers, getting lost, contacts or putting things in his eyes in general, homework, and sudden, loud noises].
Other than playing music, I like to [draw or do something artsy, get high on candy, style my hair, stare into the distance and write poems]. And other than that [I am a desperasexual. I like both genders, but it's not genetic. I'm just lonely and I'll take whatever I can get.]

[clara33] Keshi_Emeraldeye  {xx.the basics.xx} The name on my birth certificate is [Aaron Jones]. But you can call me [Aaron, I don't like nicknames], if you like.
My birthday was on [April 25th] and I blew out [Sixteen] candles.
I'll show you that I am definitely a [Guy, who stands at [5 foot 10 inches] and weighs in at [140 pounds].
And did I mention... I have [blue] eyes and [black] hair.{xx.the personal.xx}
Sometimes I act like I'm [I'm a loner. I prefer to be by myself most of the time and usually endeavour to do this. Around others I am usually quiet and reserved, good in class but not speaking up very often.].
But really, I blame my behavior on my past. It goes something like this: [I come from a somewhat broken family. I never knew my mother, and my father raised us, myself and my older brother. He liked his drink a little too much and when he did he got rather violent. I havent seen my brother for years, the last thing he did was get me into this school so I wasn't around my father's violence most of the year before disappearing. I haven't heard from him since. Sometimes it worries me but every now and then I'll get a letter from him, letting me know that he's still alive and managing, trying to make a living, sending me a cheque in the mail every now and then and paying for my school fees. He never gives a return address, however, so I can never return his letters.
One thing my mother did leave behind was her violin which is what got me into this school. I was a natural at it, gifted from the start, though I never really read music. I made up the music as I went along, hence that is the one area at school I really struggle with and am constantly failing as many tests as I pass. Thankfully though my skills and grades in other subjects made up for this lack and while my teachers had suggested several times for me to find a tutor in this area I have yet to work up the courage to approach anything.
However my true passion lies slightly outside of music. It was something I never told anyone and something I only indulged in in private, when I was sure no one was looking. It was dancing. Not that there was ever any time where there was no music in the school, but I didn't really need the music to dance, it just flowed out of me. While the music did this, the dancing did so more naturally. My brother had warned me not to indulge in this at school, however. I was at a school for music afterall, not dancing, but sometimes, when I was most stressed I found I just couldn't help it.] {xx.the school-related.xx}
I am an all-powerful [Junior].

After I'm done with classes, I retire back to Dorm Room [1] and I listen to my song... [Kaamos by Apocalyptica] {xx.the other.xx}
Maybe you want to know, maybe you don't... But I love [sweet things. Things like chocolates, gummi bears and other such lollies. I also love berries, with raspberries being my favourite. I like simple things, concerns like money never really interests me.] and frankly, I abhor [anything about maths or science or other non-arty subjects. I don't understand them so I don't like them. I don't like clingy people or people who constantly invade my space and I absolutely abhor violence.].
Other than playing music, I like to [dancing (but only in private) and sneaking out onto the roof to watch the stars.]. And other than that [I have a small tatoo of a howling wolf on the inside of my forearm, but hide it by always wearing long sleaves, even in summer. I've also got a couple of scars on my body from my father's violence, but I also keep them well hidden, not liking people to know about them.]

"As I'm swimming through the stereo, I'm writing you a symphony of sound...""...Where are you now..."Description of School
[x]This school is modernly built, with all new furnishings and such. After all, you are paying enough to attend this place, right? Furthermore, though it is not situated perfectly in the city life, but rather, more in the country, it is possible to drive or take a bus or cab to the nearby city where you can find many stores selling many different items, not to mention many different restaurants, two theaters, a bowling alley, an ice skating rink, and much more! "...As I rearrange the songs again,n this mix could burn a hole in anyone; But it was you I was thinking of."
