Hello, my name is Briley. I'm a junior at a tiny high school in Alabama. I'm sixteen years old. I'm a musician. I've played piano since I was ten. I'm also flute section leader in my school's band, for concert season, as well as drum major for this marching season.

I'm a writer as well. I love poetry. I'm on my school's newspaper staff... as "Anne", the advice columnist.

I love to read, too... I belong to a book club. I love books with out-there topics. Wicca is fascinating, and I love vampires, too. Any ghost or suspense story is worth the read.

I'm a Christian... a Baptist, to be exact.

I love owls. And music... '90s alternative is my favorite, but I love the modern stuff that all the guys from the day are doing now. Music is great, and definitely my passion in life. Any kind of rock is great, and I love orchestras. I also have a thing for movie scores and band music.

I'm a very unique person. I don't always fit in, but prefer it that way. I am just me... that's all that can be expected.

I would love to meet all of the guys from Collective Soul, Lois Duncan, Tim Burton, Stephenie Meyer, Viggo Mortensen, Helena Bonham Carter, and Victoria Frances.

Band is my main activity. I love to march, I love to play music.
Piano, too. It's amazing.
Reading and writing are great too, and I love to hang out with my friends and watch movies.
"Never, Have I Ever" is the best game, ever.

I love music.
My favorite band ever is Collective Soul. I also like Live, Fuel, Bush, and many many more.
I love movies.
Tim Burton is the best director on the planet. All of his movies rock. Also, I love 10 Things I Hate About You... and almost any scary/suspense movie.
Books are amazing too.
Lois Duncan is the best. Harry Potter, Blue is for Nightmares, Twilight, Sweep, and Vampire Kisses are good series as well.
