4. Share Seven Unusual Things About Yourself. ( Well, there are four of us, so if you are easily bored do not read this.)

Samantha:

1. I bite my nails a lot; even my toenails.
2. I HATE strawberry icing on anything. It is revolting.
3. I am way to attached to my stuffed animals - I have, like, thirty.
4. I have never been on a roller coaster.
5. When I was six years old; my kindergarten teacher thought I was a boy.
6. I had to have an eye operation two years ago; and I am very paranoid about my eyes ever since.
7. I think a lot of Eponine fangirls are really, really, dumb.

Lilyana:

1. Before I moved to Montana, I was terrified of horses! Now, I love then, and want to teach riding to disabled children when I'm older.
2. I always wear my hair up because it gets really, really, frizzy otherwise.
3. I feel really left out when the other girls talk about theatre - I'm the only one who's not a theatre freak.
4. I always feel very shy when I wear bright colors.
5. My mother doesn't let me comment on youtube videos. It took a lot of convincing to let me blog on here with Samantha.
6. My little sister Melanie goes to a boarding school for opera singers - and she's only eight. I feel really talentless next to her and my cousin.
7. I have kept a diary for almost six years.

Melanthe:

1. Once I ate an entire tub of chocolate frosting. I am a chocolate-addict!
2. Ogunquit Beach is my favourite place in the world - my family has a beach house there, and we go every summer. I love it more then anything.
3. I have dyslexia, but I don't like telling anybody because a lot of people see me as a 'Dumb-airhead-brainless-cheerleader-clothes-obsessed' type. That just makes it worse.
4. I struggle with the compulsion to shoplift. I do it a lot, and I've never been caught. I never feel guilty, either.
5. I write fanfiction. RENT, Bunheads, and sometimes Glee.
6. When I was little, I wanted to be an olympic swimmer.
7. Licorice makes me gag.

Rebecca:

1. I had really horrible relationships with both my parents - I'd happily never see either of them ever again - especially my father. He has done things to me that you could never imagine.
2. I've wanted to be a ballerina since I was three. But if it wasn't for the fact I was offered a full scholarship at the dance academy, my parents would never had let me. I'm not even sure why they wanted a kid.
3. I've never had anything like a best friend in my life until I met Angela; an autistic girl who went to school with me back in New York. She was an artist, extremely talented, but really shy; kind of an outcast like I am. We got along so well; she's basically the only thing I miss back home.
4. I'm terrified of learning to drive.
5.  I want to live briefly and brightly.
6. I get restless so easily; it's like a constant ache inside me.
7. There are many things you don't know about me.



Thank you and goodnight! Happy Sunday everybody, and we are all looking foward to Les Mis day tomorrow!


Samantha, Rebecca, Melanthe, Lilyana

Thoughts on Sparks

Hey guys, Samantha here. Just from talking to the rest of the guys, I’ve realized that among us, there is much controversy about what our blog name – Teeny Tiny Sparks – means. So here is our own separate views on the matter. You can agree with whatever one you want, or fathom your own ideas.

Samantha:  I – who chose it – always intended it to mean that we are just little starting points of something, beginning flickers. We could become something great – or we could just burn out.

Rebecca – I always thought it meant that we were all just little pinpricks of flame in the blackness, burning helpless and alone. We’re all just little sparks, nothing more. A few of us may become something great, most of us won’t.

Lilyana – I kind of agreed with Samantha. I thought it meant we were all something small, something bright. And If we don’t get bigger, it doesn’t matter, because we helped the fire in our own way.

Melanthe – Just that we were something small, and with luck and dedication we could become something big and bright!

Ok…..Rebecca’s was kind of…..Morbid? Well, anyway, I guess the general idea is that we are all the sparks. So….burn, baby, burn. Happy Solstice everyone!

First Post

School is out today, and we’re going to make this summer count. We want the summer before eight grade to be an adventure. We want to find ourselves, find each other, and become closer and better friends – better people. This summer, this is going to be one we’ll remember. And we want to document that. That’s why we started this bog.

We? Who are we? We’re four girls – friends – who live together, in the house of Samantha. Lilyana is her cousin, Melanthe and Rebecca are two girls who board at her house. They board through a program called Travelling Stars, which lets girls board with families around the Boston area in order to attend the prestigious Sutton School For The arts. Samantha is a singer, an actress who dreams of Broadway, originally from NYC. Lilyana, her cousin, grew up in Montana, and moved here three years ago when her parents divorced, in order to study at Sutton. She also was born with a deformed arm and back problems, which makes it very hard for her to get around and function properly, and moving to Boston made it easier to get good medical care, and was why she had a very successful operation two years ago. She’d also been riding – first through a handicapped program, then at a exclusive stables- for years, and moving to Boston also enabled her to take more advanced riding lessons at better stables. Melanthe, a flutist and actress, is from Canada, and joined the duo a year ago. A redhead with a bouncy personality, Melanthe Rose – or Mellie Rose – is a flirty fashion–lover who takes her personal philosophy from RENT – No Day But Today. Then there’s Rebecca, a curly haired dancer from NYC, a dark, moody girl who plays the guitar and dreams of being a ballerina. This is our blog, our place to talk about who we are and whats happening. We’re the sparks.
