Post 01: Introduction

     Hello to all.

    My name is Ian Arnold, though some of my friends call me "Ethan" as an inside joke. I'm 17 years old (turning 18 in February!) and a senior at Bleckley County High School. I was born in Hawkinsville, my dad's hometown, but I've lived in Cochran all my life, though I do like going down there every week to visit my relatives' house. 

I'm active in my school's band (concert and marching), BETA Club, and I really love poetry and narrative writing (making something pretty cool right now, actually), though I don't do it as often as I used to. I love a good story, whether that be in the form of a book, movie, show, etc. I also really love history, and plan to major in it when I graduate this year.

 I have an older brother on my mom's side, but he lives with my grandparents, whom I also visit frequently. In fact, I was over at both my grandparent's house pretty much for days at a time during COVID, since both my parents had work some days and I didn't want to be by myself. My family isn't perfect, but they're very dear to me regardless.

I really can't stand spiders or, really, any type of bugs for that matter, loud people, and all seafood (especially the smell of it). I'm also not very fond of spring, since I have a crazy pollen allergy + asthma, so I'm usually fighting for my life every March - May season.

I can't think of anything else, so that's about it really. Thanks for reading all the way through, and I'll (probably) see you around.
