Um, Hi, Everybody

Hello, people!

My name is Abigail--but Abby, Abi, Abygale, Abbey or Hey You work just as well. I stand at almost 5′4 with almost waistlength reddish-brown hair and deep brown eyes.

I’ve always loved the outdoors, so as a little kid, I was always building forts, climbing trees, riding bikes, digging trenchs, building bridges, making trails, catching frogs . . . you name it, I was doing it (or had done it at least once. I’ve walked on stilts, jumped off a pretty high rock cliff to grab around a tree trunk to slide down to the ground...)

My interests now are weightlifting (thank you, older brothers), writing, reading, music, drawing, and gymnastics.

I’m pretty certain I’m one of those people you either love or you hate; I don’t sugarcoat things or beat around the bush, I can be stubborn, and I don’t like putting up with other people’s stupidity. My mother was always telling me I needed to be more ladylike, and I think her favorite phrase to describe me when I was younger was “like a bull in a china shop.” Ah, yes, the good ole days, when my mom was forever wondering if I would ever stop acting like my brothers. (Totally unrelated, but I used to have these really thick bangs that would hang in my eyes because no matter what my mother did, she could never get them even. Probaby had something to do with the fact that I’d never sit still.)

Well, I’m a lot more ladylike now, though my habit of being blunt or not thinking before I speak still gets me in trouble. *Sigh* Nobody can be perfect.

I play the violin (been playing for about four years now, I think) as well as the piano, ever since I was six or seven. That was because my oldest brother played the piano, so I wanted to. He actually taught me for two or three years before he got a job and he didn’t have time. After that, I taught myself for several years before finally getting a piano teacher.

When it comes to shoes, I love unique or stylish shoes (I guess like every other girl). Especially hightops. Love those! In fact, check the comment section for a picture of my favorite pair of shoes that I wear pretty much EVERYWHERE.
