Aunt Keira couldn't be here and my mum, Sam couldn't make it either. She's out with her band so we're backstage, in place for her, on her band's world tour. We're in the US right now.

So um...let me introduce myself.

My full name is Lilyanne Lavender McBrain (but to not get mixed up with my mum's friend, Lilyana, just call me Lav, or Lavender).

I was born on Oct. 24, in a hospital in Germany, while my mother was on tour. Not drumming, of course. Rod, the band's manager didn't let her. My father drummed for those nights. I turned out to be a ginger like Mum. I've heard some funny stories about my birth and after. Mum, after she had me, she was perfectly fine, sitting up and writing.

She's a really strong woman and I looked up for her for that. Physically and emotionally.

I'm a sister to an hopeless romantic, Charlie and daughter to Nicko and Samantha McBrain. They are the sweetest and most understanding people you'll ever meet. So are the people my parents are close with. Lily, Anna, Kat, Nancy and Charlotte, whom we kids call aunts and their husbands, uncles.

My father is a teddy bear. He just is. ^^

I love my family dearly. I'm an aspiring drummer like my parents, and I play ukelele moderately well.

I dress like my parents, too. I don't like to wear dresses, or skirts, so basically all I have in my wardrobe is muscle tees and jeans.

I have my headphones on, listening to the Misfits, Famous Monsters album. A bit of a detour from what I usually listen to.

I listen to bands like Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and the Who. They're my top 5. I have at least 3 of all their albums each. I keep them close to my heart. Rush, I popped on, too. I have a few cassettes for them and listen to them on the way to school. I can never get the drums right, but at least I try.

I do track and football in school and I get mostly good grades, because sometimes my brain wonders and I end up doodling or writing poetry the full period and get a low grade. That's just me though.

I do have a high expectations from my aunts, grandparents and father. They think I should be proud and do well at what I am good at. And I do, most of the time.

I get distracted a bit too easily, but whatever. I'm still a B+ student.

My crush is Robert Plant. He's magical. My mother found a German magazine with a poster in it of him. I hope you know the picture. The one where his full back is uncovered.

This one^^

I have it pinned up in my closet, so my father doesn't see it. He'd die, if he knew his daughter was crushing on a rockstar like him or having that photo in my possession.

I wouldn't stay my parents are over-protective, but they can be a bit hovering and embarrassing when they need/want to be.

There was this one time I was time when I went to a small get-together with my boyfriend, Castor at my house. Adults were downstairs in the basement, the kids upstairs. There were some party games, some dirty stories shared, some giggles and chuckles here and there.

I went to find something to mange on. Manger is "to eat" in French. And I found some cake, obviously made by Mum, with a note on it from Dad. It said something along the lines of 'squash this in Castor's face if he want a little something more from you.'

"Something more" is code of sex or snogging, depending on the context.

And I just had to chuckle. We're all around 15 years old, and I haven't even imagined it yet, by that time.

Now, Castor and I after that share a cake, feeding it to each other and licking the excess frosting off each other's faces, leading to kissing and snogging.

I feel like it would be something my mother and father would do, but I don't to assume things. It's cute.

Speaking of relationships, I should probably tell you of some more, and who I ship with, because I hardcore ship my friends together.

Max and Ella. The artist and the dreamer. They are so freakin' adorable together. I can definitly see them together for a while.

Michael and Iris. Sadly, this might never happen since Michael is interested in a woman 24 years older than him. Iris had been crushing on his for years now. I would like to see them together.

Ann-Marie and Domenique Reine. The lesbian couple. They're both 17 and so cute together, but it was probably never happen and if it does Eliza will have to give me a fiver. We bet on silly things like that. I have no idea why though.

Well, Lioness' doing their encore so I'm going to leave soon.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm open to anything.
