Basically a ton of bands (I'm really obsessed with live shows right now as opposed to recording) and people who think a lot about life and can show me something new.

I am a fast reader, and I love to read when I have the time, which I really haven't had in high school. Some of my favorites are of course Harry Potter, Redwall Series, Golden Compass Series, and mysteries. Also, the trashy romance novels are a must sometimes.
My hero is my grandpa on my dad's side. He was a pilot in WWII and flew P-38s. He died about 5 years ago, and was my last grandpa. He was always really gracious, and always made an effort to make people feel like they belonged in the world. At one point, he even told me not to smoke or do drugs or anything bad because he cared for his grandaughters so much.
Also, Paul Shaghoian,. I really think he was an amazing person and a terrific teacher. I'm pretty jealous I wasn't able to be his student. I can say though that he helped pick out the flute I have today because he happened to be there when I tested a bunch of them. I hope I will be remembered and revered like you, Mr. Shaghoian.
