I'm not a great cook, but I have WAY too many recipes. I do like to eat, but I'm no fat. I like to read, and I hate people who make fun of me, especially about my reading alot. (They're are my Revenge List!) I hate bad food and people who think they know everything...I am still a student and I'm currently in middle school. I plan to be a veterinarian someday, I already have my sights on a college and where I'll work when I get out of it.
