Name: Lexie Grove. Believe it or not, Lexie is the actual first name on my birth certificate. It's not short for anything.
Age: 16. I was born on September 28th (which is kind of crazy because my aunt and great-aunt were born on the same date), so I'm a libra. I have to say that I feel cheated since my sign is the scales when other people get to have rams and stuff.
School: West York High School
Time on Teen Takeover Staff: This is my second year.
Interests: art, reading, snowboarding, running, Italy, green tea, photography (although I never really print my pictures..they just stay in my camera)
Favorite movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, Amelie (I know there's an accent mark over the first e, but I couldn't figure out how to put it in), Little Miss Sunshine, The Life Aquatic, Punch-Drunk Love, Charade, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Chicago
Favorite books: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Memoirs of a Geisha, Pride and Prejudice, Snow Falling on Cedars, The Passion of Artemesia, Girl in Hyacinth Blue, Alias Grace, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Autobiography of a Face, To Kill a Mockingbird
Favorite music: Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, Interpol, Boys Night Out, Beirut, Straylight Run, Murder by Death (scary name, but good music), and the soundtracks from some of my favorite movies
Goals: I want to:
~ study art history in New York City
~ visit/live in as many different places as possible
~ experience different cultures
~ get better at painting
~ read as much as I can
~ learn how to relax
~ make the most out of my time
I love Beirut too!!!
Ahh!! That is very exciting because I can honestly say this is the first time I've found anyone who shares my love of Beirut. (I wasn't sure if it is customary to return comments on my own page or on the page of the commenter).
I would have to say that my pick for president would be Hilary Clinton. She's the one I'm pulling for. I must say, I love your goals, very unique and interesting!
