Nick

Hello! My name is Nick and I am 13 years old, in 7th grade. When it comes to height, I am a tad above average (I am about 6'2".) I often scare people and one of my friends now was very afraid of me because she thought I was a giant. Many people tell me I should be on the basketball team, but I am interested in other things. I went shopping this weekend and I went to Journey's to get some shoes, only to find they don't carry anything above a 13 Mens shoe size (I am very sad, I'm a 13.5). Some of my favorite stores are Gap, American Eagle, and Target. I enjoy different cultures and love to travel (even though I hardly ever do...). My favorite foods are DiGiorno frozen pizza and the pretzel bites with pizza sauce that they sell at the mall. Some activities I enjoy are: shopping, rolling (toilet papering, if that helps), hanging out with friends, playing ping pong and badminton, doing laundry, math team, academic team, acting, and listening to music. Listening to music is one of my favorites because I enjoy lots of different genres (Fast fact: "genre" is my favorite word) of music. Some of my favorite artists are: U2, Journey, Boston, Amy Winehouse, The Beatles, Yael Naim, Snow Patrol, and many, many more. My iTunes library has over 900 songs/music videos (Fast fact: My favorite song, "Make Your Own Kind of Music" by Mama Cass, has 1,982 plays). I also love to watch movies. I watch the Academy Awards every year (and the Golden Globes, Grammy's, and Emmy's, but the AA's are my favorite), and I hope to host them one day. My favorite movies are: Rocky (ADRIAN!!!), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Pride and Prejudice (Fast facts: the book is my favorite, my favorite character is Mr. Collins, and Jane Austen is also one of my favorite authors), Rainman, Little Miss Sunshine, Miss Congeniality, and too many more to list. I am very concerned about global warming and I won a class debate on it! I love to debate peacefully and I often do with my Social Studies teacher (who I don't think likes me for it). I am also very concerned about restaraunt cleanliness because my mom got E. coli from a restaraunt this summer. We call ahead before we go out to eat and check the health ratings. I am very picky about spelling, and I was runner up in the school spelling bee from grades 4-6 (so frustrating!), but I choked up this year and got out on "possessive" in the first round. I find sleep very refreshing! I also love take pictures, and I will upload some once I find my camera cable...
