As for my life itself, I currently live in Silicon Valley with my family. For those of you who don't know where SV is, it's in California around the San Francisco Bay. A lot of high tech stuff goes on around here. I'm a sophomore at Notre Dame High School, a Catholic school for girls. I'm not Catholic, though. In fact, I'm a deist, which is pretty close to opposite Catholicism.

I've played piano since I was five years old, officially; but I'd played by ear for a few years before that, even. I'm so experienced with it that at the time I am developing perfect pitch. My teacher calls me her baby because I'm her longest lasting student. I guess it helps that I had a strong influence on one side of the family. My grandmother taught piano and voice, and both of my aunts sing. My grandmother always wanted me to take my music somewhere, do something with it. And I plan to.

Been wondering about what AeaTr is? It's my fantasy world. You see, I get story ideas everywhere. So for one of them I created a new world. Well, I got so into it that I converted more of the other story ideas I'd gotten to fit into AeaTr. Since then I've drawn three maps, timelines, the plans to the castle, and characters. I've started to write five novels and I've finished five short stories, with more on the way. You could say it's my obsession.

When I'm not writing, I'm probably busy doing stuff with my family. We're very active. We snow ski frequently in the winter, and water ski in the summer (though at the moment our boat engine is fataly damaged). We also love to camp and hike and bike ride.

So that's me. What about my friends? Well, they're all insane. We have our little group, including Elaine, Camille, and Veronica, and the four of us belong to an even bigger group of people. Camille's religion and god is whipped cream, and she collects quotes. Elaine's nickname for her campaign for V.P. of the Freshman class last year was Elaine the Insane. You get the idea. One of the people in our bigger group is Thu (pronounced like the number two). She's a cynical atheist who loves Bush. She helped me get started with this whole HTML business. I owe her a lot. Check out her webpage at http://www.gurlpages.com/me/lucywestenra. Thanks, Thu!

So that's about it. Have fun exploring my site. And Si ya follana may ramea, may light touch your face.
