Those ramblings

Since this is my very first blog post, I'd like to start out saying, or more so describing who I am. My name is Peyton Nicole. I'm a young artist in every aspect you could consider. Talent wise, age wise, maturity wise, etc.. I've been taking photography since, well about 8th grade I'd say. I'm turning 17 and I'll be a junior next month, so as you can tell, I've only had this hobby for a short 3 years, and I wouldn't be expected to be very good. Unlike photography, I just started painting, drawing, and working with sculpture/3-D art lately (I'd say within this past year). But on another side of the spectrum, I'm also a great deal into music.

In school, I play percussion. People may say that it may not take skill to play percussion instruments, and it's somewhat true, but it takes a lot of skill to master the entire section. Some people will never be able to acquire this in their entire musical career, but my goal is to do so. I think I'm a promising talent, not to sound overly confident that is. I've been in band since I was 12. Since that time, I've taught myself almost everything I know.. but this summer, I experienced what was probably the most significant musical thing that has happened in my life: community band. I was the youngest, thus all the teachers/professional musicians/college students wanted to teach me. I learned so much about just how the simple things impact everything.

All in all, I have my own style. Both visual art and in music I have a style that i'd like to be shown and noticed. My portraits of people, are generally what I think their personality has evoked to me; In paintings I like to use colors that create a psychological feeling, my black and white pictures I want to make either a dark or enlightened feeling. Some of my other pictures seem either "dark" in a way or extremely bubbly. In music, though I don't play original compositions, I do find solos or enjoyable marching band shows to be usually more dramatic with minors, chromatics, to be a lot more interesting.

But enough of a rant about that, there isn't much about me besides the fact I super love cats, I also love reading historical fiction. Not only am I a creative soul, but I also love to learn. Math and science definitely aren't my things, but I enjoy literature/grammar, and History/social relations. If I had any guilty pleasure, it'd probably be reading psychology papers, getting my hair dyed, or sometimes just even reading quotes from whom I perceive to be very influential people in our history, or people who are just now making history :3

So this is little ole' me. 

I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.
