High School/University: 1. I'm a middle schooler. and 2. I'm homeschooled/Distance Learning Program.
Church: Well, I don't go to church really, but I've been to the Bluegrass Baptist here in Hendersonville a couple of times, as my little sister got hired to play the violin part of a song that the music director (?) arranged for a band, four violins, and a cello. Yya!

Athens is really just a big typo. Y'see, "s" is right next to "a" on the keyboard. They meant to name it Athena, but the secretary wasn't a very good typist.

Were you expecting that everyone had been born and raised here for the past 50 years? I was born and raised in Ohio, spent a year in NC at college, then moved here.
Let's see. My job is NaNO, so you may know me from here. (I also run parts of the Nashville Writer's Meetup.)
No more school.
My church is the forest and the trees, so I am guessing you don't know me from there.
So yeah, enough about me. Moving on.
