Hello! I'm Russell (actually, inside my house I'm called RJ for Russell JR so me and my dad don't get mixed up, feel free to call me whatever name you can remember better!), I found VT while searching on Google, and it seemed like a friendly place (I'm going to need some, because I'm going to a Magnet High School and only I think two of my friends are going to be there, and I didn't have many to start with).

A little about me : :D

-I love computers and technology, I'm the smartest with them out of all my friends and family!

-I'm 14

-I live in Texas (SA)

-I'm not really the kind of Sports person, I can be really shy...

- My favorite colors are blue and red!

-I get awesome grades in school!

--------------WARNING!! Personal INFO!! (Well, not that personal...)--------------

A few months ago (About March or Feburary), I was actually diagnosed with Chron's Disease which I think is why I don't play a lot of sports, because it makes me feel really bad. It was actually kind of nice to know what was wrong with my stomach and why it always hurt (It seemed like it started in about 4th grade, and I'm now just learning about why...). Slowly I'm getting better though! :) My parents and teachers are always telling me how strong I am and how good of a person I am, so it's not like I can't get out of bed everyday... (although, there have been days that have been like that....)

But anyways, I wanted to get that out of the way because, it was kind of hard not telling my friends already, espically when they are always asking why your absent all the time (I either wasn't feeling well, or I had to go get some kind of testing done like an MRI, CT Scan, etc...) or why I'm so skinny... If I told you my current weight (which is lucky been going up ever since I found out about everything and got some good medicine called Remicade!) you would probably passout..., so I find it better to tell everyone know... hopefully I can get the courage to tell every one I know already....

-----------------</Personal Stuff!!!!>------------------------------------------------------------

I'll try to post a picture of me as my avatar, but first I have to take one, and I'm horrible at taking pictures :P

If I didn't mention it already... HI!!

And I thought I wasn't going to have anything to say.... lol!

Welcome to VT RJ!! I'm Parker. Wow, that is some serious stuff you're dealing with. Your parents & teachers are right about you being strong. To deal with that at our age??? Mind & spirit are powerful things and can wholelly affect the body.
I just started to get into graphic design this year so I'm still learning alot about all the technology to do it. Some pretty awesome stuff though!

A Magnet school is a school that is almost all about a certain career, the one I'm going to is called Business Careers High School (They do Business and Technology), they are somewhat hard to get in. Of course, they still do all the normal classes and stuff too (Except mine doesn't have P.E. which kind of works in my favor, I had to take study hall for about half of the year. I always helped out in the School Library like checking in / out books and shelving them :))

I tried Graphic Designing with GIMP / Photoshop... I didn't do that good, lol! I'll probably be better at coding things :)

It might be related to the fact that I suck at art and drawing...

Also, I filled out the Survey in the Stickey :)
