Who Am I?

Wow, I realize I haven't updated this blog site since I started it. So, what better way to start than with a short, unaltered, 100% autobiographical account of my life so far! ...But enough small talk. Let's get started!

Hello, readers! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Charles O’Hara, senior at Wright Christian Academy, resident of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and currently 15 years sober… Moving on. If you’re reading this, then you’re probably wondering one thing: Who am I? Well, you’re in luck, because I’m here to answer that exact question. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
Now, in my opinion, there’s no better way to accurately describe myself than to start from the very beginning. Unfortunately, that’s apparently not allowed, so I’ll just start by talking about my life in its current, unaltered and somewhat stable condition. As I mentioned earlier, I currently live in Broken Arrow with my family. My parents’ names are Jeffrey and Deana O’Hara, and I have a 15-year old brother named Dillon. I’d like to say it’s a pretty quiet life, but if you’ve met my brother for even a minute, you’d know I was lying.
As I also mentioned earlier, I am currently experiencing my final year of high school at Wright Christian Academy. After this, it’s off to college. I just know the time is going to fly by, so I plan on using this year to the fullest. I will be determined! I WON’T GIVE IN! THEY CAN’T LET ME!!! Ahem… Sorry, got a little carried away. Anyway, I go to Our Savior Lutheran Church every Sunday (usually). I also go to an event called Ablaze Live Church every Saturday at Liberty Elementary. It’s a contemporary worship service that is also sponsored by a movement that is trying to establish more churches in the Midwestern U.S. It’s an awesome place to worship on Saturdays. What? No, I’m not using this as an excuse to advertise. What would make you think that? (4300 S 209th East Ave, Broken Arrow, OK, every Saturday night @ 7:00. Be there!)
Ahem… So, what’s next? Oh, yes! The neighborhood. Well, there’s been a bit of drama around my neighborhood recently. I was not extremely social around the people in my block, so I’m not too involved with the sitcom feuds between the families. So, here’s the situation in an eggshell. Two of the families were in a bit of a feud that started over their basketball nets, both of which had been badly damaged (there was probably more to it, but that was what started it). Things have calmed down a bit since then, and both families have a new net, though there are now some strict rules about playing with them.
Now, I think I’ll describe my family for a brief moment. My parents are both actively involved in the Ablaze movement. As a matter of fact, my dad’s the lead singer and guitarist for Zion’s Fire, which is the band that usually plays at Liberty on Saturdays. As most of you know, I also have a 15-year old brother named Dillon. He’s currently in 9th grade. All I can say about him is… well, it’s never a dull day when he’s around.
Okay, checklist. Home? Check! Church? Check! Neighborhood? Check! School? Big check! …Etc. Hm. Well, I’m a member of the Varsity soccer team for WCA. I’ve finished two stories in my “Holiday Detective” series. I like video games, I’m 18 years old, I have a Driver’s License, I type 65 wpm, I have a MySpace and a Facebook, I’m 5’ 9”, 145 lbs, and I have an alter ego! …Huh. I think that’s it. So for now, this is Inspector Charles O’Hara, Private Eye, Holiday Detective signing off.
