Before you even try reading this, define the word: Normal. I know you’re laughing, but seriously, tell me what you think being normal is. If you look it up in a dictionary, they describe normal as “conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern” but let me tell you I am nothing like that. I could be very quiet, insanely loud, crazy, overly emotional, all at once. Anybody who knows me, a lot, can easily say that they would never place my picture next to that word. I know at first, you would call me normal, but let me just give you some basic information.

      My name is Caitlin Achiles, but I usually just go by Caitlin, or by “Len”. I am fifteen years old, since November 3. I am Filipino with a little bit Hawaiian in me. Of course when you meet me, I’m short and skinny. You can easily recognize me as the girl with short hair, usually with a small bow on, and wearing worn out black converse. I am the middle child of three kids. You can see me walking around school, as a sophomore.

      Just like every living thing in the world, I have things that I like and things that I hate. I LOVE to sleep in, especially when there is no school. But sadly I can’t do that now that were starting a new term. When I’m at home, I love to watch movies, preferably comedies and action movies. Also, I really love to eat! I know what you’re thinking, “How can you love food when you’re really skinny?” Well to answer that, I would say “You have never seen me in a food cabinet.” I honestly can’t stand a day not eating anything. If you invite me to your house, you better have some food available, or I will really make you regret it. But other than that, during my free time, I like to blog on Tumblr, or just go search random things on the internet.  I also like to stay up late, read a lot of books, and anything else that keeps me occupied and most of all: happy.

      Although I have things that I like, I have a lot of things that I absolutely positively hate. I really hate homework. I know I have to do it, but I get so lazy, and wouldn’t want to do it. And when I’m watching television, I always change the channel when it’s a drama show. I think it’s overrated, and I actually see it everyday at school. I also do not like to be stressed and nagged a lot. It really puts a damper on my day, and can annoy me a lot. And lastly, please and absolutely please DO NOT compare me to other people, especially my sister. I got enough of that ever since I was a little girl. And let me tell you I’m tired of it.

     However, despite my likes and dislikes, I am a pretty unique human being. I think it’s funny how people first think of me as a “quiet” person, but once they get to know me I really am not. I hardly invite people into my house, because my house is cramped! I have 12 people living in my house, and it’s really hard to get some space. I can never sleep after watching a scary movie, even if I didn’t pay attention to the plot, I have nightmares. I can’t even go to the bathroom by myself. When I get hyper I can get pretty delusional, and it gets pretty weird when you’re around me. Although we are all getting older, I’m still a kid at heart. I have huge imaginations, and I can’t help but daydream about them. I personally believe, the weather controls my mood. Try to at least laugh when I tell a joke, because I’m really bad at it. Last but not least, like every nice person, I have an evil side. I would tell you what it is, but I wouldn’t want to give you nightmares.

      Right now, I see a bright future ahead of me. My goal is to graduate and go to a four-year college. I want to move to New York and become a writer or an editor of a big famous magazine company. I also would like to travel all around the world, before I die and write a book about it. But as reality has it, it could change. I wouldn’t let that affect me though, I’m up to whatever comes into my life. And I’m pretty sure in the end, I’ll have tons of fun.
