Me (Blog #1)

Hi, I'm Barni, most of the people at this school say my name like Barney because they can't say it , and it used to bother me when I was young, but I've gotten used to it. I'm 14 and I'm a freshman who has also been in the academic center here at Whitney Young, I love playing the piano, listening to music (specifically Lana Del Rey music), and I love ice skating. First, I just want to say, I'm not really good at writing things about myself, so I'm going to try to make this as interesting as possible.

I've been playing the piano since I was 4 years old, and its a really big part of my life. The school I go to makes us take music theory with our instruments, and honestly, music theory is my favorite part of going to the school. Usually, every 2 weeks, I am given different piece by famous composers and scales in different keys. I personally prefer to play a song that I heard from the radio, or I really like. One of my favorite things when I play piano, is after I play a song that I like, I like to change some parts, or add parts to make it sound perfect (in my opinion). My least favorite thing about playing the piano is the concerts where we have to perform for the whole school. Honestly, the older I'm becoming the more nervous I am playing in front of people.

There is nothing more I love that listening to music by Lana del Rey. I used to listen to the really popular pop music, but I started to dislike it and then I was doing research about serial killers (for a project) and I found one of here songs called "Serial Killers", after that Lana del Rey's songs are the only songs I listen to that I like. One of my favorite things about her music is that a lot of her songs don't make sense, until you really think about it, and you can interpret the songs in many different ways. I also love ice skating. I have been ice skating for a really long time but I never really took the time to learn tricks and be good at it, so I started taking classes for it, and I'm starting to get good at it. One thing that I recently did was go to Canada, it's my favorite place to go because I've been there so many times, and I really have fun when I go there (even though I go to Ottawa, which was awarded the most boring city in Canada, but its also the capital.) I also recently got a nose piercing on August.14 and I'm really glad I got it, because I've wanted one for a while, and this also proves to my mom that I can take care of something. Some things I also love are watermelons, cats, the color red, winter, snow, psychology, and the 2007 movie Hairspray, the shows Once Upon A Time and Pretty Little Liars. So, now after reading this, you know I little more about me, and I hope I've made this interesting enough for you.
