Default Hi, I guess?

Hello. My name is Emma. I am a freshman in high school (so I'm kinda young). I once identified as bisexual, but then I realized that the term didn't really fit my orientation, so I am now in the process of coming out to some people as a lesbian. Other than that, I enjoy being in marching band, listening to music, watching TV, and a lot of generally nerdy stuff.

So I guess that's it and I will see you guys around.

Welcome to EC Emma! I've never been in a marching band, but I love watching them perform. What instrument do you play?

Marching Band! You are already so awesome. That's pretty cool. My little sister is a freshman in high school this year and is also in Marching Band as a clarinet. Woot!

Well, welcome to EC hun! <3
