... I like peanut butter.

Hi. I'm Simone, I'm a sophomore, and I'm really tempted to write in all caps right now.

SO I THINK I WILL.

There, I feel better now.

Yeah, I may seem a bit hyper right now (and a lot of other times, to be honest), but that's because I'm avoiding my work. Because I know I won't be able to when I'm a junior. So I'm savoring what little social life I have now.

Although this website is meant to -- let's face it -- extrapolate the nerdiness that is IA and put it all into one fun little web-sized package, I plan on bringing... a slightly less nerdy point of view.

Yeah, that sounds good.

And yes, I am the same Simone that is in the "Arguably Inappropriate" section of that venn diagram of types of quotes you've seen on our facebook page. So if that doesn't give you any indication of what I'm gonna write about... I don't know what to say. (If you haven't seen the fb page yet, you should go on it. And then like it. Don't you love my abilities to plug our other site in this one? SOMUCHFUN!)

I may have only been around for a few weeks, but I already have loads of ideas and stories. So I hope you enjoy all of the crazy crap I write about. :)

P.S. Floccinaucinihilipilification.

... That's an awesome word, isn't it?

ACCIO READERS!

Hi there! I'm Brie (or Bri, or Brizzi, or Brijonai, etc.)! I like to think that I'll be bringing a bit of randomness and energy to OAIA.  I'm a junior this year and am very very nervous about the IB, so if I post anything it'll most likely be quotes from the other fear-stricken juniors about IOPS or CAS or maybe even the upcoming Orchestra concert on October 12.  I'm a fan of crude humor, so for our younger readers I probably won't post many things besides "that's what she said" jokes.  Let's see....what else. I'm not a formal writer, so prepare yourself for awkwardly phrased sentences, horrible grammar, and a general sense of confusion whenever you see my name.

    I'm a huge believer in all things Harvey, and I WILL go on and on about the guy, so I'm not going to approach the topic of Harveyism (we'll save that for the other authors that AREN'T obsessed with him).  I love OAIA and I hope that this year we'll see both returning readers and some new blood coming to the site.  Keep an eye out for us, because once things start rolling we'll probably be making our way to the back of the Overacheiver! 

Introduction

Well, now that school's in not only for us IAers but the rest of the state, I guess I probably shouldn't put this off anymore. I've been meaning to do this sooner, but it just hasn't really worked out until now (procrastination- it happens to the best of us). ANYWAYS, I'm doing this post at Josh's (sorry, I haven't figured out how to put umlauts up here yet) suggestion, to introduce myself to the readers on onlyatia.com.

Okay, so here goes nothing!

My name is Caitlin Mayer, and I'm a senior this year. Other common names for me include "blue", "that mermaid obsessive" (don't ask unless you want a REALLY long explanation), and "weirdo hiccuping girl" (if you hear any strange, almost squealish noises and I'm in the vicinity, I'm probably the cause...). My favorite color is blue (as nickname #1 implies), and I'm an avid reader of books, mangas, comics, and pretty much anything else with writing on it. I've made a few other appearances on Onlyatia.com, both as the provider of a few of the out of context quotes, and the creator of a treasure map that featured last year. Last year I was known for creeping on freshmen, but this year I've moved on to bigger and better things- creeping on sophomores!

Anyways, if you see anything on this website that says it was posted by Caitlin, it probably means that it was posted by me, and not some random hacker by the same name.
