Why do you write?
Lately its been essays forced out by IB teachers. Besides those.. lovely academic essays, I write to express my ideas and beliefs, and to make others question theirs.

What do you write?
I have no talent for poetry or songs, but short stories are what I usually tend to do. If it takes to long to write, I'll lose my train of thought.

Describe yourself in three words. (Don’t use the words ‘nice’, ‘pretty’ or ‘good’ because your Grade Six teacher will read this and be very disappointed).
Facetious
Bright
Playful

If you were a superhero, what would be your name, power and costume?
Why, if I were a superhero (who says I can't be the villain?) my name would be Lexi. No particular reason, I just like that name. My costume would be bright yellow, bright enough to blind the bad/good guys into submission and be made out of a tight fitting silk dress. And my awesome, kick ass super power would be to 1) fly and 2) see every possible outcome of the future.

A doctor that is high enough to not have to give shots.

For a career? I really would love to be a chef in a fancy restaurant, but taking a few culinary classes would be a good substitute.

What's one thing you'd like to see before you die?
I'd like to see a dragon before I die.

At what age will you start writing your autobiography and what will it be called?
I'll write it when I have half forgotten my past, that way I can mix in fibs and lies to make it more interesting. It will be called My Partial Life.
