Hannah, myself, and I.

I am Hannah. I am five feet, six inches. I have long blonde hair that goes all the way down to my belly button. I have bright blue eyes that I often get complimented on. My favorite colors are pink and yellow. My favorite colors to wear are black and purple.

I play soccer and volleyball and I love to run, hike and pretty much everything else active! I am a cheer leader, which is really fun. I live in a tiny house, just outside of Sacramento, California, USA.

I have one sibling, a brother, who lives in Montana with his girlfriend. So, it's just me and my mom. Which is usually pretty interesting. Now you know more about me, so I will start to post about my day-to-day life soon. :)

Hannah, so far.

I am Hannah. I was born & raised in a suburb of Sacramento, California. I still live there now. There is one thing you should know about Sacramento: it sucks!

I have one brother. He is 18. He has short brown hair and the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen. He has a stunning smile! His name is Sam. Sam loves all sports, especially biking & football. I love Sam, he loves me, & we never fight! Sam is a really great friend & is always there for me when ever I need him. Unfortunately, he is 18. And graduated. And therefore, lives out of state with his girlfriend, Penny.

My mom, Sharon, is the best mom in the world. You might think your mom is awesome, but she is nothing compared to Sharon. Sharon & I can talk about anything & I always know she will never judge me. We tell each other everything. I know it is hard to be a single mom, and for all of the sacrifices she makes every single day, I am so thankful. She works two jobs, and still hardly makes ends meets. She thinks me & Sam don't notice, but we do. She pretends we have everything, and gets us almost everything we want, and for her sake, Sam & I don't tell her we know we have nothing. She tries so hard, even though we would love her no matter what.

If you want to know a loser, meet Samuel Thomas Taylor, my dad. I haven't talked to him at all since I was little. Him & Sam still talk on birthdays & Christmas, but that's out of politeness. When he used to phone on my birthday, I would refuse to talk to him. Then he stopped phoning. Same with Christmas, he would stop asking to speak to me. But child support? No. He doesn't do that. Then how would he buy $300 shoes for his blonde little gold-digger? Meanwhile my mom & can hardly afford to pay our rent.

Luckily for me, growing up, his new wife was in the same situation. She goes behind my dad's back and takes me shopping with his credit card. I really like this, but I know it really bothers my mom that she can't provide everything for me. I think sometimes she feels like Susanna is taking her place as my mom, but she does not need to worry. The only reason I am nice to her is because of her (well, my dads) money.

Actually, I despise her. I find it so hard to say mean things about her when I think of all of the stuff she buys me, but then I think of how she treats Sharon & Sam. It is not fair at all. She acts like she is way better than them. But yet she is nice to me? She claims she has always wanted a "little sister" to spoil.

NEWS FLASH LADY.

I am your step daughter, not your sister. I hate you. You are married to the man I hate most in this world. GO AWAY!

I wish my mom could have a higher paying job, and have only one job. I wish she could be the one taking me shopping. Not because I want her to buy me stuff, but because I want her to know she is the one who put the clothes on my back.

When I was little, I used to dream that one day Sharon & Samuel Thomas Taylor would get back together. Now, I realize that is not only stupid and unrealistic, but it would be TERRIBLE! If my mom & dad got back together, I would have to move to Montana with Sam, because that would mean living with my dad. And that is NOT going to happen. That would also mean I would only ever hear yelling at night. That would suck.

Samuel Thomas Taylor left me & Sharon & Sam on March 1st 2001. That was my fifth birthday. I didn't know it at the time, but it was the best birthday present I ever got. Him leaving made my mom so happy! The only bad part was, he took everything with him. And by everything, I mean money. But we have managed. And at least in my house we never get bored. We could go on for hours making fun of Samuel Thomas Taylor. You may be wondering why I always say Samuel Thomas Taylor. That is what he calls himself. He speaks in the third person and, even worse, uses his full name! What a loser!

I have 4 best friends. Grayson, Alex, Jeff & Luke. I know what you are thinking. ALL BOYS. But boys are waaaay easier to get along with. Being friends with girls makes so much drama in my life. So I am just not. Well, I have some girl friends, but none of them are close.

Grayson is like a brother to me. We are always together & we have all our classes the same. We tell each other everything & have only fought once. I mean, we have minor disagreements, but there are no big. Our one fight was in September 2009. One thing you have to know about Grayson: he's gay. There was this new boy in school going around telling everyone he's bisexual. I since I am totally cool with that, and he was really HOT, I asked him out. He said yes, of coarse. But then at the last minute cancelled. I couldn't figure out why, but then Grayson told me that he had gone on a date with him. I was pretty mad at both of them. But it was totally not Grayson's fault. He didn't know that he'd cancelled on me. It was a pretty dumb fight! I have known Grayson since we were babies. His mom, Carlee, and Sharon grew up together, and are best friend to this day. I guess me & Grayson wanted to follow in their foot steps!

My hottest friend is Alex. He is dead sexy. He has blonde hair, and a six pack & everything else that is good in a guy. I met him three years ago (2007) in October. He is actually my ex. That's how we became friends. He liked me. So he started hanging out with my friends, particularly Grayson. So at first, I thought he was gay, but then one night we were alone, studying & he said he liked me. I said I liked him too and he asked me out. I said yes. Then we started going out, but it just did not work. So we broke up but said we would still be friends. And we are. We have been best friends since the first day he said he liked me.

I met Jeff on my birthday, 2008. Remember before when I said my dad leaving was my best birthday present? I was wrong. Jeff was. The second Jeff met we became best friends. At first, Grayson & Alex were I guess threatened by our sudden closeness. At the time, Grayson & Alex hated each other, but they worked together to come up with a plan to get Jeff & I to stop hanging out. In the end, it made them a lot closer. And they started to like Jeff. Now all of us are really tight.

The first time I met Luke, I went right up to him & asked for a picture with him. He said, "why?" And I said, "because you are a dead ringer for Nick Jonas." Then we took a picture together, and it turned out he goes to the same school as me, so we started hanging out and he joined out circle of friends.

That is a little about the people I know, I have to go to bed now, but soon I will tell you more about HANNAH. (that's me!!!!!)
