Hey! My name's David, and I'm a 14-year-old teen living in the "Corn Country" of Indiana. I'm just a regular farm boy trying to work his way through life, who discovered this journal option on his super-slow dial-up Internet. I can even brag a T.V. with five channels to match! My favorite color is definitely green. I love school, because of all my friends, and I have keen eye for learning too, so that always helps. I get all "A"s, so I guess I'm doing alright. I read a lot, mostly history (right now I'm reading Math and the Mona Lisa: The Art and Science of Leonardo Da Vinci), but I used to chug fantasy by the gallon. I still like Harry Potter, and I definitely had to go to a party until midnight, so I could get the book and finish it that same day (which I ended up doing). I like animals, and I have a 40-acre forest (I guess that comes from living on a farm) where I catch a lot of my pets. I usually own an assortment of snakes, frogs, salamanders, and F.W.C. (Furry, Woodland Creatures). Oddly for me, I only "own" a beautiful, female, calico cat by the name of Queen Hazel Marie (anyone who's ever had a cat knows that you never truly "own" them, it's the other way around). I'm currently single, but I've had a fair number of girlfriends since I was 11 when I was with my first. I've been rejected, and I have rejected so I know what it's like on both sides of life. I'm pretty well traveled. The countries I've visited (apart from U.S.) include: Venezuela, Mexico, Turks and Caicos, U.K., Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, Vatican City, Monaco, and France. Someday I hope to become Chief Curator of the Louvre Museum in Paris. I participate in Tae Kwon Do, Boy Scouts, Academic Superbowl, Spell Bowl, and the SCRIPS Spelling Bee. The first two are yearlong and the last three are seasonal, so between those, school, and traveling - I'm a pretty busy kid. For religion, I am Lutheran, although my historical foundation makes me a little skeptical of the stereotypical, utopian Christian. Don't get me wrong, religion is a great thing, but it'd be illogical to say that Christians have been the wisest of people since the beginning of the time. My ultimate goal in life is to better the knowledge of the world, so that we can understand our pasts to prepare for the future. I love the concept of treasure too, and I can only help but dream, so I guess that's me - that's David in a nutshell. I'd love to hear some comments too, so if you read this, please don't be shy!
About Me

- I’m David, a high school student in Indiana. Mine is a really good school, so I have a lot of high expectations for my time there. I'm very involved in Spell Bowl, Debate, Science Olympiad, Academic Super Bowl, and coaching Junior ASB at the middle school. I earned a traditional Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do before leaving my class to follow other pursuits. I am a Boy Scout, and I’m the Senior Patrol Leader in my troop. I’m also an Eagle Scout, and enjoy competitive backpacking. I’ve been to Isle Royale on Lake Superior twice, and took part in a 2008 Philmont Trek in New Mexico. I enjoy traveling. So far, I've visited eleven European countries, and have also been to many in the Caribbean and South America. My family and I live out in the country on seventy-seven acres. My parents are entrepreneurs, and I plan on a similarly ambitious life. I pursue careers in international banking and U.S. politics. I'm lucky enough to have an amazing group of friends who are kind, smart, and supportive. I couldn't ask for anything more. Needless to say, I love hanging out with them. I have one pet, Queen Hazel Marie. She is my calico cat, and one of my closest friends.

Since when is 3 a fair number of girlfriends? Who have you rejected? I obviously know who rejected you. Oh yeah, and David, try not to mention my name, ok? thanx.
Three can be called fair, I didn't say "great". Hmm... who have I rejected: Macie Macantee and her four other friends who each wanted a dance from me the last day of school. They're really annoying though so I wouldn't say yes.
I won't use your real name either.
