About Me: 
I'm Brookelyn. I'm 18 years old and a freshman in college. I just graduated High School, and will be a college sophomore this coming December. I fell in love with the art of drumming a little over 3 years ago, and I've never looked back since. I play a Sound Percussion kit with Sabian and Zildjan Cymbals, DW hardware and Remo and Evans drumheads. I currently play with my church's youth band, and I'm usually seen singing background vocals along with playing drums. Our lead singer sometimes calls me their mini Jen Ledger lol. Though Skillet wasn't necessarily the reason I started playing, Jen and Lori have been huge inspirations to me as being a girl in a male-dominated arena is more than challenging. But most importantly, I love God with all my heart and am not ashamed of what he's done in my life.

I'm doing pretty good. Anything exciting happening lately?

Heartonmysleeve's picture

ooooh graduation?? That's so exciting! Congrats! :D

And yes, for some strange reason, the SAT is really popular around where I live, no one really takes the ACT, even though that is the test that is preferred by the college I want to attend in Idaho :p

Hey!!

W.V.Panhead's picture

It's going pretty well. It's just been a really challenging season of life for me. I have a couple more days of school, I think, before graduation. I'm excited and a little bit sad to be finished with high school, and I'm nervous about the future, although I know God has good plans for me.

How 'bout you?

happygilmore581's picture

I'm extremely jealous! I took Spanish 1-3 during Freshman-Junior year, but none counted as college credit :/ I could've taken AP Spanish 4, which would've counted, but I heard students whose primary language is Spanish say that the class was impossible....

Heartonmysleeve's picture

Nothing much, working on school and tests and stuff to finish up in time for the summer. And I have to take the SAT test on June 1 :p

You?

happygilmore581's picture

I have to take a Pre-Registration Foreign Language Test (Spanish for me) in about a week or so, in order for my college to determine which Spanish class I should take in college. I would've written this sentence in Spanish, but I wouldn't even know where to start. Spanish 101, here I come!

W.V.Panhead's picture

Thank you!!! :D I have heard of Noisetrade before, but I never knew what it was until you explained and I clicked the link. Jars of Clay--like Skillet--has become such a strong, inextricable part of my life that I was touched to see that you posted that link. Thanks!

I'm livin'.

getting something great requires giving something great my friend :)

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

By the way, I checked the Disciple Boards and Mary is Wandering Star. She used to be active on the Skillet Boards. :)

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Yes! And blow minds? That's how that one music reviewer on the Skillet Boards described it haha. As I said earlier, JfH is the only negative thing said about the album as a whole thus far. For example, the creator of Christian Music Zine was all enthusiastic about the album and said that it will prove the doubters wrong. He didn't really like Awake either, so it's not as though he just loves new Skillet. This is why I take JfH's reviews with a grain of salt...

SuntanCity's picture

maybe thats it. im a good 20 lbs. overweight(not much, just a little extra meat) and she wants me to lose it.

at the doc a couple weeks ago i clocked in at 6'1", 250 lbs(with clothes on) so im a pretty big guy. lots of bone and muscle, and sadly a lot of padding for that muscle. My brother is gonna buy INSANITY this summer so we'll do that together. then ima use my 6-pack as my profile pichere XP

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Okay, thanks. Didn't she mention the two singles being weak tracks compared to the others though?

SuntanCity's picture

ikr. I havnt had any in months. my mom is at war with MSG and wants me to eat better -__-

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Hey, Brookelyn, could you tell me again what that Mary person said about "RISE"? The JFH review and some of the commenters there are infuriating me!

GeneralforJesus's picture

Hey there Brooke! How are you?

drummerboy13's picture

How ya doin'?

happygilmore581's picture

Muy bien! Y tu? Yo tome la clase de espanol tres el ano pasado, pero yo no recuerdo mucho....

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

I have lots of work to accomplish. I can't wait to give that speech...........

Heartonmysleeve's picture

Hey, Brookelyn! :D

Long time no chat! :)

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

A sentence, yes. A long comment, no.

happygilmore581's picture

Hello! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Hi to you as well.

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

I found that out from Jacob. His baby was born three minutes before my time of birth! (4:08 and 4:11 A.M.)

Heartonmysleeve's picture

It's an evangelsim conference for teens that's super fun and fast-paced. It teaches you how to committed to Christ and share your faith with your friends :)

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Yep, I saw the low life's message. What's up? Okay, the ceiling. What else? ;)

drummerboy13's picture

I have not been on in quite a while, so I haven't noticed any spam.

Stormbringer's picture

That good huh? Well could you send me a box if I gave you my address?

Stormbringer's picture

How so?

Heartonmysleeve's picture

Thank you Brookelyn, that means so much! Love you as well :)

I had a really good weekend and I'm doin good now! ;)

I went to Dare 2 Share, if ya've ever heard of that! :)

Heartonmysleeve's picture

I'm alright most of the time, but off and on I've been yucky.

I KIND OF JUST WANT TO FREAKING SLASH MY DANG FREAKING CLEAN WRIST RIGHT NOW.

sorry for the drama :( I guess I just took you at your word. My wrist has been aching cause it's so clean. I know I don't really want to cut, I am Sick of It, I just feel like it. I'm at nineteen days now :) My scars are still showing though.... Some nights I just want to slice as hard as I can :_( Just give up right then, my wrist itching like fire :p

seeandbelieve's picture

Hey, what's up? :)

Comatose53's picture

I'll try her and see! I haven't been on those forums in forever though, haha...

W.V.Panhead's picture

Haha...Skillet.com has been scarred for life. I don't even see the point in notifying the Web Crew about anything amiss these days. Remember when "the time messed up," as we termed it? Several of us brought that to the Web Crew's attention, and a few months later, Skillet.com changed completely. The layout and design will never be as good as it once was.

Heartonmysleeve's picture

Hey Brookelyn

Ivey1 p's picture

I love tfk! And I noticed your about me column and it cough my eye! God bless!

W.V.Panhead's picture

What is up with the stupid spammers on your page? I know they've got to be annoying, and one would think the site would do something to block them. They've been posting some lame stuff on the discussion forums. (Actually, a couple days ago, some completely inappropriate discussion displayed on the Recent Discussion columns. I ignored it.)

Comatose53's picture

Beats me haha... I'm not really sure how we got started on that. :P

I'm going to a Red concert in Indy in a few weeks, and I'm planning on bringing a box of Cheez-Its for him and the twins to share. Not sure what I'll do for Michael, though.

W.V.Panhead's picture

Cool that you finished most of your work! I understand the Board's reasoning, but I also understand how frustrating and pointless that seems. *Sigh* Here in West Virginia, homeschooled students aren't permitted to play in public school sport events--say, for example, basketball, cheerleading, football, etc. My brother played Little League baseball last year, but only because that was a state sport. It never really mattered to me, because I'm not into athletics, but I always did consider that reasoning unfair.

W.V.Panhead's picture

Haha...I never thought about that. :P

Anyway, it's good hearing from you. So, are you wrapping up classes and preparing for graduation, or did you finish a semester early (as I believe you mentioned last autumn)? "Class of 2013" sounds so beautiful, like a glimmer of light at the end of a long, arduous tunnel. I'm still undecided about college at this point in time, although I take the ACT two weeks from tomorrow.

drummerboy13's picture

How have you been?

Comatose53's picture

Well, let's see... I got followed and retweeted by TFK and Trevor McNevan because I followed them and posted song lyrics. Same deal with Love and Death and and Random Hero. So that was easy haha... I have talked with JR Bareis when I was asking him about how the War of Change tour has been, and have had in-depth conversations with Joe Rickard about Cheez-Its. So I'm not entirely sure how I do it - however, I haven't talked to any of the Skillet people yet, so that's next thing on my list! :D

Hey, girl, I haven't talked to you in way too long. But I know how hectic senior year can be, and from what you've shared before, you're even busier than I am. So, how's it going these days? I heard you turned eighteen back in January. Me, too. It's nice to finally be considered adults by the legal system, isn't it? ;-)

Heartonmysleeve's picture

Brookelyn! Guess what? I learned a cup song this weekend! :D
Lol. A pathetic writer. (My first "real" drumming ever.) ._.

I could not believe how fun it was! :D I have always loved keeping a beat. Even though I stink at doing more than one at once... ._.

CarpetBakr's picture

I do believe they dislike the taste. Oh, man, those gnawty beasts! >:O
One squirrel did that to my favorite tube-feeder! Blasted rodent gnawed off all the bird's perches, chewed clean through the plastic and knocked it down. They also destroyed a Cardinal-feeder that I made myself! Tipped it over and chewed through the toilet-paper tubes and tinfoil. -.-
Well, you could always use a tray! If you have a deck up high, then you can mount it to the outside and put the seeds in it. Or spread the kernels around your yard, in the squirrel holes/food caches, etc. Once you 'contaminate' their food supply, ruin their chances of getting a meal at your yard, they'll be forced to check out other yards as a source.

CarpetBakr's picture

:/ I dislike the killing of animals...but squirrels (and rabbits) reproduce like mad. :/ Well, I guess come Spring, we'll see or not! Of course, another one could take its place...if you try putting out a bird feeder (or a tray) with safflower seed, they might leave you alone...they dislike the seed. Cardinals and Grosbeaks, on the other hand, love it, and they'd brighten up your yard!
