capice? good.

(hopefully) soon to be listed at these fine sites

biography: My name is A.J. JOHNSON, I'm 15.5 years old and I'm the one they warned you about. You can usually find me among a humbly-sized group of friends, singing/acting onstage, in a classroom, on my 13'' MacBook Pro (with the pink cover!!), or drawing something. You can also find me on facebook, youtube, formspring and on the twitter. I live in Wherever You're Not, USA, with my grandma, grandpa, mother and great aunt. Oh yes, and I have a cat. Her name is Shadow. I don't have rhythm. I like to think that I'm really an alien from Mars who hatched out of an egg with multi-colored stars on its shell, I can laugh at my own jokes (so nobody else has to), I try to be 100% perfect 100% of the time, I'm single and I don't really care for mingling (you can get sick that way), I dream in color (true story!), I have a morbid fascination with diseases and viruses, my mood changes with the weather, I don't like pepper on my eggs, and... I tend to bump into things. That's all.

i am: tenacious, independent, a little clumsy, boisterous (when appropriate), anemic (true story), artistic, kitschy, campy, just plain strange, sweet (without being saccharine), multi-faceted, poetic, thoughtful, tomboyish, taciturn (when appropriate), smart, a little mysterious, a little bubbly, a little bit flamboyant, an avid reader, an avid writer, an avid singer, an avid actress, an avid gamer, fluffy, bouncy, chaotic, not easily pleased, easily amused, easily angered, many other things you'd have to dig deeper to find, etc.

i like (in no particular order): science, art, theatre, random words, animals, going green (I try), jazz, electroclash, folk, bossa nova, J-Pop, picopop, classical, early animated films (1919-1940), stop-motion animation, urban legends, viruses, bacteria, fungi, thanatology, eschatology, physiology, claymation, surrealism, Dadaism, pop art, doodling, Maruchan Yakisoba, Nissin Chow Mein, singing, anime, manga, classic Nickelodeon, classic Cartoon Network, classic Disney Channel, Vans, Converse, craft stores, learning new things/ideas/concepts, cupcakes, lip gloss, scented highlighters, scented markers, watercolors, cheesecakes, electronics, decomposition (esp. the black putrefaction stage), non sequitur, slant rhyme, Pokémon, graphic tees, rainbow things, when my hair is a mess, juice boxes, onomatopoeia, linguistics, semantics, Moog synthesizers, theremins, macabre, black comedy, silent films, ice-cold sodas, Girl Scout cookies, sugary cereals, retro video games (1981-1999), pink, purple, teal, mulberry, chartreuse, those iMacs with the fruity colors on the backs of them, HTML, konpeito, Pocky, Hello Panda, [adult swim], IFC, alliteration, chocolate, strawberries, pineapples, peaches, green grapes, hanging out with friends, The Maury Show, the academic part of school, mittens, gloves, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, doughnuts, miniatures, Takara Barbies, Licca-chan, Blythes, Kewpies, circuit bending (even if I don't know how), screaming, Sanrio, Charuca, Tokidoki, Morning Glory, wind-up toys, cheesy talk shows about the morally depraved, pointy things, etc.

i don't like (in no particular order): long walks on the beach, teen magazines, tabloids, things with aspartame/sucralose/cyclamate (weird, because this blog is called artificial sweetener), hearing people tell me that I snore, romance, annoying girls, pop music, R&B music (esp. old school R&B, it's like they should play that stuff in torture cells), rap/hip hop music, floral prints, intravenous drips, mall rats, not being able to fit under the bed anymore so I can tell the dust bunnies secrets, the idea that I'm too old to believe in the bogeyman (I do), not being able to order off of a kids' menu anymore, being sick, when people type LiKe DiSsS!!!111 and think they're cool while doing it, when sodas go flat, when sodas get warm, when sodas explode when you try to open them, The Olsen Twins, crying, not doing something perfectly the first time, being caught off guard, not knowing what I'm doing, those crazy dreams where you're in public and what's worse--you're naked, social events, racism, intolerance, txtspeak, 1337-sp33k, dancing, school dances, when kids make fart noises in class (you know who you are!), the Twilight series and all of its merchandise, baked goods that were in the oven for too long, overpriced items, long lines at the grocery store, people who yell at you with megaphones even though you're right in front of them, when you can't beat your friends at Pokémon, Kraft Cheese, vampire fever, Bieber fever, when people don't read expiration dates on foods, sour milk, Radio Disney, KIIS-FM, etc.

Alo, salut, sunt eu, un haiduc. Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea. (first post)
