« n a m e « "Hi, I'm Louise Amanda Sperk. Yes, Sperk. Yeah, my last name's a bit unfortunate, and I've always had questions about it. I mean, it sounds like a sound that comes out after you sneeze. Really. But Louise, that's a fine name. I recall once while I was little asking my dad what my name meant, and he had replied with a grin, 'Beautiful.' Liar. I had researched the actual meaning: the feminine version of Louis, which was a Latinized from Ludwig which meant 'famous warrior'. Thanks dad. But I really doubt that my parents named me because they had dreamed of me becoming their little warrior princess. I'm pretty sure I was named after my Gran Gran Lou. I enjoyed her simple name, Lou, so I took to it as my nickname. I'd only be addressed by my full name if my mum's upset at me."
« n i c k n a m e « "Lou is as short as it can get. Although, for a short period of time my sister tried to get everyone to call me Las, for my initials. It never caught on, luckily, but she still calls me that. Other than Lou, you can address me by Louise, which I prefer you don't.""
« g e n d e r « "I am female. I am a girl, lady, chick, dudette, however you want to say it, but I am not a guy, and I see no reason to confuse me with one, so please don't.
« a g e « "She was just seventeen, if you know what I mean... Don't know that song? Shame...Well I'm seventeen... If you know what I mean. I was born on April twenty-eight '95 sometime around two in the morning."



« h a i r « "This brown mess atop my head? I never really pay attention to it. No matter how much I brush, straighten, or tie my hair, it'll end up in the same wavy, dark brown mess. It's just too much of a hassle to make my hair neat. I'd rather have it like this instead of loading tons of hairspray and products that say they're good for your hair. Truth is, they're not. I'm happy keeping mine natural. No dyes, no products; just this is fine."
« e y e s « "I have a weird mix of my dad and mum's eyes. My mum has dark brown, almost black, eyes, while on the other hand, my dad has a kind of 'fading-green' coloured eyes. At first look, my eyes appear to be boring, old brown, but from day to day, they vary. Sometimes they look like my dad's faded-green eyes, other times they looks hazel. It's, as I said before, weird."
« h e i g h t « "I feel I'm average height, maybe even a bit taller. I'm about five foot ten."
« w e i g h t « "This isn't the kind of question you should be asking a girl. Well, I don't mind. Really, I'm not very conscience about my weight, I feel it's healthy and if you look at me, I'm slim, yet a slightly athletic build. I think that's because I go on runs often. Oh, I'm avoiding the question, aren't I? Makes me look a bit more guilty of being self-conscience about my weight. Well, I'm not. I weigh about one hundred-twenty-five pounds. See? Not bad at all."
« b o d y m o d i f i c a t i o n s « "I have my ears pierced, like any girl. Although, I usually don't wear earrings on a daily basis. Only occasionally, like for holidays or special events, but not normally. And I have two piercings in each ear, both in the cartilage."



« p e r s o n a l i t y « "I am, or at least try to be, a fun, bubbly girl. I'll be semi-active in a conversation, maybe crack a few jokes. But, that's when you first get to know me. First impressions of me? Well, let's just say, I'm not the highlight of the party, the person everyone knows. You'll usually find me in the back, away from everyone, in my own world, reading a book. It's like in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, one of my favorites. I can so easily relate to that book because, well, I'm a wallflower. Books. What can I say? I love 'em. I can usually relate any person, idea, or event to a book I've read. Asides from always reading, if you attempt to get a conversation out of me, it's not going to end well. Seriously, I have zero social skills. Maybe, just maybe, if you can crack my shy shell, you'll get to know a different kind of me; 'fun-Lou' my friends call it. But there's not much of a difference really. The only thing different is that I might make eye-contact and probably won't stare at the ground mumbling out my words. Another reason you should try not talking to me. I'm perfectly fine being alone, which is how you'll usually find me. Every once in awhile my friends might drag me to talk to someone, but they'll do the talking. I will silently exit the conversation and find a cozy spot to sit and read. If I'm not reading, I'm thinking. I'm most definitely an optimist. I feel I'm prepared for any situation that might come at me because sometimes it's just fun to....think! Just think of all the possibilities that could happen at any moment in your life. Truly, they are endless and I try to find as many as I can. Haha, well, there's me in a bundle of sentences. Well, that's how I think of me, however, what do you think of me? "
« h i s t o r y « "I would have to say I have lived a pretty much average life. I mean, nothing ever exciting happens here, right? I was born on April twenty-eighth, 1995. I have my two parents, Sue and Karl Sperk. My sister, Candice, who's twenty-five and just recently gotten married, is practically my best friend. Her and I had the best sisterly bond which I'm proud of. We're in the middle-class; not too poor, not too rich. When I was little, my parents swore they never heard a peep out of me. Apparently, the only sounds I made was crying, but even that didn't happen too often. My sister was upset because she was know known as 'the-girl-who's-sister-doesn't-talk' and since this happened, she tried desperately to make me talk. She signed me up for art sessions, bands and symphonias, and even a few dance classes. It was a struggle to keep up with it all, and my mum could tell that I looked miserable. Just as I quit it all, I had been signed up for one more thing: book club. My sister practically begged me to go to at least one meeting. And so that's how it started. I fell in love with books. I came out of my shell a little, but I've always been known as the loner, the shy girl who doesn't talk, and I'm fine with that because I have my books."



« l i k e s « "The obvious one, books, but I also like writing, a little bit of drawing, which I'm not too shabby at, if I do say so myself, and piano. I began to experiment with writing soon after I read my first novel, I decided I was going to be a famous writer. Pssh, like that'll happen, but a girl can only dream, right? Piano I'm not too terrible at, but I'm not great at either. I just enjoy sliding my fingers over the ivory keys and the sound it produces is just magnificent!"
« d i s l i k e s « "This is tough question, because honestly I don't not like a lot of things. Well, one being citrus fruits, considering I'm allergic to them. Also cats, fake nails (I mean, they're just so obviously fake!), and rude people. Who doesn't? They're mean, and cruel, and, well, just plain rude! Oh, and, believe it or not, chocolate. I just don't like the taste of it."
« f e a r s « "Why should I be telling you? And who's to say that I don't actually have any fears." She faints at the sight of blood.
« f a m i l y « "There's me, my sister, my brother-in-law, my mum and dad. A total of five! My mum's side is pure American for as long as it can be traced. My dad, on the other hand, it Italian and German. Not directly, but not like forever generations ago. If I have it right, it goes my dad's great-great grandmother and great-great grandfather were originally Italian and they lived in Europe for however long and his grandparents and parents grew up there, his mum marrying some German dude. It's kind of confusing, but it's family.""
« p e t s « "I got him for my sixteenth birthday. He's a chinchilla named Pent. My Gran Gran Lou thought this would be perfect for me, and boy was she right. Pent is the best pet ever. I've taught him how to play dead, but he isn't very good at it, 'cause he kind of has a short attention span.""
« s e x u a l o r i e n t a t i o n « "Nothing against girls or anything, I'm just into dudes."
« p h o n e « "An iPhone 4s. I also got that for my sixteenth birthday, from my parents. It's quite handy and angry birds is just so addicting."
« o t h e r « "Nope,"
