HI THUR! My name is Brianna Todd. I'm a spinster in the making, and have been training for many many years. At last years spinster-thon, the judges said I was one of their top contenders. They asked me to attend 08/08/08 Olympics, but I decided I had better things to do (knitting sweaters, reading "Home and Garden" magazines)so I declined.

My name is Brianna, I am 16 years old, and like to pretend that the reason I do nothing is because I am trying to analyze something or other, but in reality, I am just a lazy bugger. I read Chuck Klosterman Novels, and random "Classics" while waiting for High school to end. I have a plan, you see. Not one of those plans to get out, and get far FAR away that is vaguely specific, like many other teens. I have a plan to do something that will not just keep a cash flow, but keep me and the world entertained. This is why I have a plan. I want to help others while helping myself. And I don't mean help my self as in "HEY let me take care of your accounts so i can skim off the top" I mean, I want to be happy. And for some reason, I seem to believe that going to university will guarantee me that, when lord knows it is not true. This isn't 1950. There won't be a job waiting for me when I graduate Ryerson, with a BA in Radio Journalism, but hopefully this is where my plan will take me.

I like to complain a lot, which is a pain, I know, but the thing is, I know I have it good in comparison to others. I try not to sweat the little things. I don't like to cry and dump all my beliefs because I didn't get that special pair of pants, or because my sister took the last pop-tart. I don't like weak moments. I like to have this strong shield around me because I think that since I have a lot, that I should be strong. I don't want to be one of those people, I want to be something good. I want to be smart, and get and good job, and live the way I want to live, and not get all bent out of shape. There are people who have it far worse then I do, and who would die for those little things to be their biggest problem.

I am a vegetarian. For me that doesn't mean I eat a lot of salad. I eat a lot of junk. My diet usually consists of coffee, candy and pop-tarts. But yet, I don't gain weight. I drink an average of about 5 cups of coffee a day. My diet isn't something that is unusual to me, but when it gets to a point when the cashiers at the grocery store, see you everyday, buying some sort of candy, you figure you should cut back. Sure I'll eat my salad, and I don't think tofu is that bad, but I don't go out of my way to be a veggie.

I like second hand clothing, and organic things. Any clothing store that considers themselves "ECO" or "Socially Aware" I jump in. American Apparel, Heart On Your Sleeve, 10 Thousand Villages, Lush. I air dry my cloths. I own a single pair of good jeans, a a bunch of pairs that I just don't want to throw out. Dresses, to me, are the holy grail to apparel choices. They allow you to keep your originality, and show of your pretty pretty legs. I like playing with different types of tights, (striped, textured, plain black), and different hair styles. When I was really young I decided that I was going to cut my hair short, so that i could be different from my friends. So now, for the past 5 years or so, I have had a super sort hair style, that I usually pull back into pig tails, so I can feel like a girl.

I am really tall, about 5'9" or 5'10" and am incredibly soft looking, because I have about an ounce of muscle on me. I used to feel the need to do athletics, with the other members of my family, but slowly decided that sports are the stupidest things ever invented (for me at least). I see absolutely no point in jogging for fun. I don't get "in the zone" when I pant down the street. I, like any other girl my age, have self esteem problems, and suffer from major Judy Blume moments frequently, but most of the time, I am happy with who I am and what I look like.

This journal is a place away from the people I dislike. I can say things here that I would usually have to censor, in order to not hurt anyone's feelings. Although no one reads this, i feel like i am telling someone; an old friend, a stranger. So I hope, in your daily cyber travels, you will enjoy the work of a young girl, a spinster, an olympic contender.
