Hello, my name is Maya. Miss Maya, to be exact. Okay, so, no, it isn't my real name, but I'm sure not about to loose my real identity to the entirety of cyberspace! Hahaha.
In any case, if you're reading, you're more than likely wondering who the heck is on the other side of the screen. And so, dear readers, I'm going to tell you as much about myself as I can.
I'm seventeen years old, a junior in high school, and I'm a trifle odd, to put it nicely. To be certain, there's no way any human being in their right mind could call me 'normal'. I think a friend of mine once put it best when he described me as being very 'present'. He claims that wherever I am, the 'essence of me' comes bursting forth, filling the room. I guess that's pretty much the truth. I have a very... potent personality.
I'm not a large person. In fact, I'm rather petite, standing at a mere 5'4" and just small, in general. I'm not athletic by any stretch of the imagination, a good portion of that owed to the fact that I'm a complete and total klutz. I've actually sprained my ankle whilst lying in bed before. Sad, isn't it? So, as a result, I've become rather sedentary, focusing more on art, music, literature... the humanities, essentially.
I have an extremely over-active imagination. This, combined with my love for books, has made me an avid writer, resulting in many short stories as well as a few yet-to-be completed novels. I've also tried my hand at poetry, though I'm not entirely sure how successful I've been at it, seeing as I don't have any friends or teachers that are truly proficient in judging poetry.
I believe that music is synonymous with life. A painter can create a picture on a canvas, but a musician can create a picture on silence alone. All music, even rap or metal or country or jazz or classical or something more eclectic is beautiful and can tell a story, and I love it all.
As far as art goes, I believe I've tried every medium that I can possibly get my hands on, and done (I think) fairly well. I've had some contests that I've won, some of my things featured in the local newspaper, and I feel pretty darn accomplished.
I have a good number of friends, and I adore every single one of them. I can honestly say that I'm excruciatingly loyal, often to a fault. I'm also extremely affectionate and 'huggy', which often gets me into some amount of trouble. Heh.
I definitely consider myself an honest person, sometimes to the point where I'm downright rude, though I'll admit I've told a few tall tales before.
Hm... I guess that about wraps me up, really. If you've got any questions, please feel free to comment! I'd love to hear them.
Over and out.
Keep dreaming, my friends.

In the Beginning....
No, I'm not about to start posting scripture. But I will tell you right now that this is my first post on my blog. Now, honestly, I'm fairly certain no one is going to care to read my blog, but, as an author/artist, this was a medium that I hadn't yet explored, and it somewhat reminded me of a blank canvas on which I felt compelled to splay my thoughts, no matter how completely unorthodox or unusual they may be.
I feel, I suppose, that it is necessary to address my blog title, "A Day in the Life of a Dreamer". While many see it as fairly self-explanatory, there are others out there that may want more in the way of my personal reason for choosing it. Simply put, I, Miss Maya, am a dreamer. I'm spacey and slightly neurotic, I'll admit, as well as being as stubborn as a mule and twice as short. My head is constantly in the clouds, mainly because it's way more fun than being stuck on the ground, or worse, being a stick in the mud! (Oh, fair warning, English is actually my third language. Sarcasm and bad puns are my first and second.) Anyways, as the title implies, I'll simply be sharing the often unusual, sometimes rather entertaining events of my life.
I'm still a junior (11th grade) in high school, meaning there's all kinds of dramatic escapades to come, including boys and homework and the like. Then, of course, there's the question of college and jobs and.... UGH! Enough of that, please!
In any case, I'll try to update regularly, though I am notorious for being late with everything. Soon to come, I believe, will be a post that focuses more on the kind of human being I am. Questions and comments are always welcome, as well.
Over and out for now.
Dream on, my dears.
