Am I The One You're Looking For?

My name is Elí S. Montoyo Rosario and I'm 17 years old. This is my first time creating a blog, so I really don't know how to use it and if it weren't for my sister, Daisy, it would have taken me a lot of time to get it how I want it to be. I guess I should start with my hobbies. If I'm in my house and I have nothing to do, I usually get on the computer and play online games with my friends. Once I'm done with that I may begin playing instruments such as: the guitar, the drums, or the piano, though I sometimes prefer reading instead ("The Hunger Games" is my favorite book so far). Besides reading and playing, I also like to listen to music I have in my iPod or random music using Pandora. My favorite genres are rock ("Jesus Culture" is my favorite band), and classical music. I've been told I'm a great singer and that I should participate in Talent Shows and other activities, but the truth is that I do not like singing in activities unrelated to church, though you might find me singing randomly at school. Another thing you should know is that I'm a very reserved, kept to myself person, but as soon as you get to know me, I'm a nice person to hang around with. Also, and the most important thing you should know about me, emphasis on SHOULD, is that I'm a super Star Wars fan and that I sleep with my Yoda plush almost every night (not really :'( ).
Before I finish this post, I want to give a quick shout out to my best friends Jamilisse and Miguel, and to all my other friends. Love You ALL! And remember: "Never Give Up On Yourself".
