hey, it's just me checkin in

Hello XD 
 my name is Miranda, but ppl cal me Mandi.
you can choose what to call me, i don't care.
here is some information about me and some penpelling questions ppl may want to know about me. comment on this if u want to be my penpal.

I am 16 years old, and live with my mother and younger brother.
We live in Zanesville, Ohio, USA; We aren't rich or well-to-do, but we aren't dirt poor either. We are drowning in bills. 
I am in my Junior year in Maysville High School (the best, most caring public school in the area!!!).  Anyway, here are some penpal questions:

1)How long have you been penpaling?
I have never had a penpal before, other than family, and wolud love to have one.

2)how many penpals do you want?
As many as I can get, but only one or two for now

3)How long on average are your letters?
usually two and a half pages, front to back.

4)Male or Female?
I don't care

5)How old?
Anywhere between 14 and 27

6)where from?
Anywhere but ohio

7)Snail mail or E-mail?
I prefer snail mail, but we can start out with e-mail

One thing that I require in a penpal is that you have to be interesting, and like to talk about anything and everything and have a strong opinion about nothing in particular!!! XD please contact me if you like what i post!!!

so, does anyone here watch the singing bee, or the biggest loser? I do. I love both shows. the singing bee lets me have a chance to find songs that i think i might like, and look them up. I love the biggest loser because my mother watches it and seeing the success stories gives me courage to deal with my own weight loss battle. I wouldn't exactly say that I'm obese, but i'm not a skinny minnie either. I have decided to dedicate myself to proper weight loss, especially since I hate people who have eating disorders. It just makes me sad to see them. 

here we go!! i have finally come up with something to submit to my fave magazine: Teen Ink! its a writers magazine that was created by teens for teens!

This is about my trip to Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania.


    The scenery on the way to Fallingwater, as well as the way back, was absolutely enchanting. We went through the West Virginia Hole-In-The-Wall twice. It's the fastest way to Pennsylvania from Ohio. The bus left the school at 7:00 a.m., a whole hour before I have to be in Homeroom! I was so tired that I had 5 sticks of caffine gum in my mouth! That's the equivalent of two nad a half cups of coffee! We didn't make a rest stop until we got to Bentlyville, Pennsylvania!

  When we finally got to Fallingwater, the tour guides split us up into two groups. I was in a group with a kid called Brian, and my friend Sivaun (pronounced chivon). We explored the house and it was amazing. you couldn't touch anything in the house but the floors and stone. The terraces were amazing as the view was. The waterfall was beautiful. I was totally enchanted. My teacher, Mr. Waite, took my last photograph of Sivaun and I doing hero poses infront of the amazing house and waterfall at the viewpoint. I bought a small tinkerbell charm in the museum shop to remind me of how magical my trip was.
