Welcome to my blog

Hello my name is Carissa (insert a last name that sounds good here because you're not finding out the real one). I am a 15 year old freshman that goes to MHS (use your imagination to give a name to the acronym) and I'm in the Seattle area (once again This specific is unavailable). I am the teenage philotechnic of the title. If you don't know what a philotechnic is then google it. Just kidding. A philotechnic is a lover of the arts. Meaning music, writing, photography, poetry, and dancing. I'm not into the dance thing but I do love all of the other addicting hobbies I mentioned. I am a musician. I've been playing violin for 5 and a half years so, with the risk of sounding hauty, I'm pretty good at what I do. Too bad I'm still an amatuer but I hope that one day I can be a professional. I love riting poetry and I'm not bad at writing short stories. If you find a poetry site that will actually give you the money they promse if they publish you and don't ask for any money to be published you make sure to let me know because at this point I've nearly given up on looking for an honest publisher. I do like photography. I haven't really done any to sumbit to any photography contests but my mom tells me I'm pretty good with the camera. Too bad I can't take a decent picture of myself. Oh well I don't like to be on that side of the camera anyway. Maybe that's because I'm a girl and I "lack self esteem" like many of my peers these days. Well I guess I can tell you a bit more about myself. below are my "stats."
