She turns on her camera, says "Smile!" in that cheesy way at family parties. She is stuck being the photographer, always the one with the good camera that will email everyone the pictures. She turns on her camera the next day, after school, saying "GET THE CRAP OUT OF THE PICTURE, STUPID" and "Mel, you're either gonna do it again so I can get it, or get out," and stuff like that. She is always being the one capturing memories, finding the beauty in hideousness, finding the fun in life. She is always being that role. She is the keeper of memories in your heart.

She is the dancer. She dances whenever he can. Even in class. She finds a beat in everything, even if it means looking ridiculous. She always dances at parties, never grinds. She finds grinding vulgar, unlike most people in her class. Whether it be the Robot, the Shopping Cart, the Robber, or the Running Man, she always dances. She always fast dances, she never dances to slow songs. She finds them boring. She is constantly looking for that rhythm, that beat that keeps her life together. She's the blood running through your veins.

She sings like a lark. She is the best singer the school had seen in a while. She never auditioned for any parts, because she has stage fright. She is not terrified of showing her voice to the world via YouTube though, because there she doesn't have to know the people giving her compliments. Or mean comments. Either way, it means she doesn't have to embarrass herself in front of people who she knows will make fun of her. She can express herself through songs she's written or covers of her favorites. Usually, she does covers because she hates her songs. Her songs are very very bad, even worse than most mainstream music. In any case, people are always giving her compliments, even though she doesn't believe them. She's the denier in your brain.

"You know the earth is round?" says a stupid child. She says "No, never! The earth is flat!" She is the sarcastic smart-ass. Even though she doesn't always have a response to every remark, she can come up with some pretty good one-liners that make them laugh every time. She always has the most ridiculous quiz answers, the most ridiculous responses, the loudest laugh. She's the one who's learned to laugh at herself, laugh with others instead of at them. She doesn't find immature things funny. She thinks that things that are funny should be genuinely funny, not something the rest of the population thinks is funny. She is the voice that makes you act like a retard with people you know and have fun with your life.
