I don&#39;t want to share too much information about myself because honestly, I don&#39;t trust many people. For example, last summer I made my first friend, a neighbor girl named Melody, and she ditched me when we were supposed to travel home together. Also, a couple of Christian guys who were supposed to help me tried to get me arrested&#8211;and maybe even killed. So there you go. I&#39;m told I don&#39;t have great social skills. But what does that matter when I spend most of my time alone, just talking with God? God understands me.<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"border-bottom-color: rgb(222, 222, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px;\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<span><strong>Where do you live, and why do you choose to live there?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>I live with my mom, brother, grandparents, and cousins off the grid in a forest in Oregon.

A clue, you&#39;ll know it&#39;s my property because you&#39;ll notice a whole lot of junk from the non-Christians who dump garbage at our place to annoy us. Once you get to the trash heaps, look up, and you&#39;ll spy our huge tree house and network of zip lines. Why do I live there?

They want to start a stupid Reclaim war that&#39;s totally against God&#39;s will, and they&#39;d even kill me if that&#39;s what it takes. Of course Satan is my biggest opponent.

Micah, my slimy neighbor, is obsessed with me. Unfortunately, my cousin Trinity likes him, even though he&#39;s clueless. Another guy, Wolfe, is a non-Christian. For some reason he keeps showing up to help me out of tight spots. He&#39;s pretty funny and not terrible looking&#8230;but I&#39;m pretty sure I shouldn&#39;t be planning to date the guy since he&#39;s not a Christian. My third option is Stone Bender, a quiet, gentle giant. Yeah, he&#39;s a Christian, but he doesn&#39;t have enough backbone to stand up to his brother. And I&#39;m pretty sure he tried to kill me.<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: rgb(243, 247, 251);\">\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"border-bottom-color: rgb(222, 222, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px;\" width=\"100%\">\n\t\t\t\t<span><strong>The first time you saw your special person, what did you think?
