Hello world, meet ME.

Well, my very first blog. How exciting is that? So far, not very. Well, I guess I should start out with a bit of an introduction!
My name is Whitley. Whitley Valerie Altenburg, to be exact.
My mom claims to have named me after some girl in a show back 10000 years ago.
I have yet to see evidence of this.
I've been on this planet for 14 years, 6 months, 3 days, 2 minutes and 5 seconds.
That's IF my birth certificate isn't lying.
I'm not the CN tower and I'm not a blade of grass. In other words, I'm about average height. I have blueish-greyish eyes and used-to-be-blonde-but-then-dyed-it hair which has gone through the colours purple, red, brown, black, bleach blonde, orange, blue, fushia, and more. Currently a light blonde. I'm not FAT but not exactly SKINNY. I have this one issue with my leg tsunamis that seem to happen if I move to fast.
I like art. No, actually, I LOVE art! Picasso, Da Vinci, Emily Karr.... you name it. I'm really into computer design, and I'm working towards being a commercial copywriter. Hmm... what else do I like...? Oh, I like summer of course! Considering I grew up in Canada, and summer lasts like, what, 3 months out of 12? Summer is the cure for everything. I get less sick in summer. I smile more in summer. I make more friends in summer. And I go from being white as polarbear to tanned as a...hmm.. as a person that actually sees the sun.
Oooookay! Now for the things I HATE! I hate winter for starters. Seafood completely disgusts me. I really hate being allergic to so many things. (Nuts, penicillian, apples, peaches, plums, pears, cherries, beand, peas.. the list goes on) I'm also not a big fan of cleaning my room or hockey.
Currently, I'm a Timmy Ho. I've been working at Tim Hortons for a whopping 4 months. But, if all goes as planned, I might be working at McDonalds instead. Hurray!
Last but not least, I have this boyfriend. I don't really want to give his real name, so we'll call him Guy. 'Cause you know, I'm SO creative with names. Okay, well, I met Guy back when I was 9. You know, before the whole puberty thing came and changed everyone. So we've been dating on and off for years now. The thing about Guy is well, its nothing big, but he's a drug dealer. Well I mean, theres WAY more to him than that. He's sweet, thoughtful, fun and funny. Back when I found out he did drugs (mostly weed) when I was 12, I was NOT okay with it! But I've adjusted, and i don't really care anymore. Sometimes though, it causes fights.
So, there you have it. A small peek into the life of a 14-year-old Canadian girl.
Hope to write again soon!
