Hello there. How are you? My name is... Well, you can call me Lea. It's part of my name... Anyway, about me, I guess. I am female (obviously. Have you seen my stories list? They're all POTO-based and some of them are poems. You find a male who writes POTO poetry and is straight, you point him out. I'll laugh and admire). I am almost nineteen years old (my birthday is in August. Yay Leos!), and I live in a hick-town in California. I go to college, of course, where I'm a sophomore this year. I take all kinds music courses, including Voice Class, Chamber Singers, Music History, Music Theory, and Concert Band. I am an undeniable, true-blue, honest-to-goodness BAND GEEK. I play the clarinet and I played the sousaphone once. My favorite pieces to play (and sing, ALL THE TIME)? Music of the Night, Think of Me, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, and, of course, the Phantom of the Opera. Other than being in band, I'm a first soprano (Yay sopranos!) in choir, I read ALL the time (fantasy, almost entirely), and I watch, listen to, write about, and dream over Phantom of the Opera. I am completely obsessed. I went to New York a few years ago to fulfill my long-standing dream of seeing the Broadway show, and it was the greatest two hours of my life (I got autographs from Howard McGillin and Tim Martin Gleason!). No, really, it's the best musical creation in the history of all art. So, other than that, it's the middle of summer here, I talk to friends a lot and I write and post stories and I go to Yosemite NP. That's about it. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell me. So, thanks for stopping by, come again soon, and, as always, happy reading!

PS- Keep your hand at the level of your eyes, as usual... No one wants to fall prey to the punjab... Unless it means catching a glimpse of Gerard Butler... sigh.
