thatcurlyredhead : Taylor Swift

Hi! I'm Shannon. I'm fifteen years old and I just finished my freshman year of high school. I'm your typical nerdy, unpopular, tall, awkward teenager. So my username is thatcurlyredhead because I have long curly red hair. Oh just FYI it's not that light strawberry-blond or died red color, my hair is pretty much ketchup with a tint of orange color. So I'm just going to get it out since I know what you're probably thinking... Yes I am a ginger!!! :)

Like everyone else on this web site, I LOVE Taylor Swift. The hair is sort of how I got obsessed. I used to try and brush it straight to be more like the popular girls at school. Needless to say, insted of giving me straight hair, all brushing out the curls did was give me a nice red, frizzy afro. One night I had the TV on when I saw Taylor Swift on an interview talking about how she wasn't popular. She explained how she learned to embrace her tallness and curly hair-ness. The interview was just really what I needed and I have been obsessed ever since.

I'm a hopeless romantic. I've never wanted to be that girl that always needs a boyfriend. Throughout my fifteen years on Earth I have been able to relate to a lot of Taylor's songs. I think that is what I like most about Taylor, the way she can make words just jump off the page. I love the way she handles herself with such grace and poise. I have never met her, but I want to more than words can even describe. Actually, I think if I saw her I would probably cry like a baby and then pee my pants. ;)

Anyways, I'm a Christian. I love Christmas, old sweaters, oxfords, mac-n-cheese, and music. I love to write. Whether it be stories, songs, poems, journals, or blogs, I LOVE it. I play drums, guitar, and a little piano. I can whip out my guitar and play any Taylor Swift request. I have this thing called write-too-much syndrome, which I think is starting to become apparent in this bio. Anyways, this was much longer than intended so thanks for reading this whole thing.

Many Blessings ~ Shannon

P.S. Friend me because I am proud to be a Swiftie, and I think that we are all a big family. I will like friend you back and view your profile too. Oh I also have a facebook, Shannon Clouse. I am always open to becoming friends with other Taylor fans.

So I'm sure by now everyone on Taylor Connect has heard about Taylor's live chat on August 13th (lucky number much :) at seven p.m. The chat is on youtube. I just wanted to take a moment to say how truly excited I am for this. I think practically everyone has been patiently awaiting the announcement of Taylor's next album. I have a feeling that Taylor is going to reveal the details of it in...

Hi! I'm Iva, and I too really wanna meet some Swifties here because none my friends from school like her. I think it's awesome that you play that many instruments - I love music. :) I only play a little piano and a little guitar, though, even though my mum is a piano teacher... I also recognize myself in Taylor's stories about being awkward in school... I am too. :S Anyway, it's nice to meet you (always nice to meet a Swiftie ^.^). :)

Well thank YOU for accepting my friend request Shannon! I'm so glad you read all of my stuff and that you liked it! I'll probably be adding a follow-up blog in a few days to reflect on all the stuff I've seen on TC since I've posted it. I know I'm so lucky to have met her, and I hope that one day you and everyone else gets a chance to have that experience.

Hey Shannon! I saw you had accepted my friend request on Facebook! :) Hoping you are having a lovely day so far! :)

It is amazing to me that you have Spanish classes in America! Here in the Netherlands, school is a lot different. You go to high school from when you are 12 to 16/17/18 years old. Depends on different things. But the first 2 years of high school, when you are 12 and 13 or 13 and 14, you have to follow a few language classes. It is required to follow Dutch, French, English and German. That's wright, 4 languages! When you're older, you can drop some classes.

I'm really good at Dutch and really really good at English, but I can also speak German and some French.

And yes, I have heard of the movie Cars! Ofcourse I did! :) But I have never seen it actually, I have 4 little sisters and 1 older brother. But my brother is 22 and my little sisters are more in to Princesses. So I watch that more.

Let me think, my favorite author. I don't think I have one. Every story is so different to me, even when it has the same author. It all depends on the story. For instance, I like the Twilight books from Stephenie Meyer. But later, she also wrote another book, called 'The host' and I didn't like it all. But my favorite genre is fantasy, I love the Harry Potter books and the Hunger games series! Oh, I haven't heard of Jodi Picoult. But I will defenitly look her up! :)

I also tried to look up the place Renskog, were your friend Suzanne was from, because it didn't sound familier. But I also couldn't found it online. Are you sure it was called Renskog?

Right now, I'm watching CSI New York. I think of myself as a little Sherlock Holmes, I just love watching series and movies or reading books and trying to figure out who commited the crime! And I'm pretty good at it! Haha! :)

Wich series do you like to watch besides America's next top model? I love murder investigation series like the Mentalist or Bones. And I absoluty love watching Pretty little lairs! :) What do you like? And wich movies? :)

Well, hoping you have a lovely day! I'm really glad I met you! Many blessings, ZoÃ«.
