Hello. I am Robert. I am of Cherokee descent, but that doesn't matter because I don't look like it.

Bio: I am 18 years old and I live in a rural community of Alexandria, Louisiana. I work hard at school so I can one day leave this state and travel the world. I want to climb the Great Pyramids, walk the Great Wall of China, place my hands on Stonehenge, and visit Edgar Allan Poe's grave, among many other goals.

Personality: This is not easy to describe. The best word would perhaps be schizophrenic. Most of the time, I am very cheerful, trying to make people laugh and feel good. My years of middle school have left me very timid around groups of people; but this school year I have tried to be more extroverted. I'm never afraid to help a friend in need, unless I truly cannot do it in conjunction with my own plans. On the other hand, I seem to have severe emotional and personality disorders. I become depressed very easily, withdrawing so far from my normal attitude that I seem to be a different person, and it always takes me a long time to come out of it. I am paranoid of others, even my own friends at times. I keep suspecting them of abandoning me at any given moment. AP member BloodyObsession best describes me as "scary" or "demented." And I can't blame her; I laugh to myself too much, I collect knives, and I even plotted to kill one of my ex-girlfriends. The last 18 years have basically left me with a split-personality, and even though I can be relaxed one moment, I can be tense and glaring the next. Despite it, I'm trying to deal with myself the best way I can.

Education: I recently graduated high school and will be attending Louisiana Tech University in the fall to study Journalism.

Religion: I was raised Baptist, converted to Catholicism, and became athiest over a year ago. I have many friends who are Christian, or Pagan, or Wicca, or what have you, so I am very accepting of other views. Whether I agree or not is a different story.

Music: I love most types of music, but here are some of my favorite bands: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Sick Puppies, the Beatles, Weird Al Yankovic, Metallica, CKY, Alkaline Trio, AFI, Guns N Roses, Blue October, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Shiny Toy Guns, Trivium, Smashing Pumpkins, They Might Be Giants, 3, My Chemical Romance, The Offspring, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down, Elton John, Lacuna Coil, Linkin Park, Pink, The Raconteurs, The Eagles, most of 60s and 70s pop/rock, Gnarls Barkley, and more than I can mention.

Animals: I love penguins. My dream is to own a penguin, as well as an ostrich to ride, and a kangaroo to spar with.

I am going to be one of the greatest authors that has ever held a pen. Just watch.
