Autobiography in a word

My names is Darya. I’m in grade 9 and I’m special. 

The reason I am using the word special to describe myself is because I always call myself special and so do my friends. My definition of special is funny, hyper, outgoing, and a little dumb. I say some really stupid things sometimes that make people laugh and smile so instead of my friends say “wow that was dumb” they say something like “wow you’re special” or “you’re on a new level of special.” Usually when they say I’m special it’s because I’m talking a lot or I’m very energetic or really hyper and I’m running around everywhere acting all crazy. In my opinion when my friends call me special or in general when someone calls me special I don’t take it as an insult I take it more as a compliment or as a joke. So now that I told you my definition of special and why I chose the word special. There was this one day that I was out with a group of my friends in North Vancouver and I bought 2 cans of red bull, my friends looked at me told me not to drink both of them but I did. Red bull doesn’t usually get me energized or hyper but this one day it did. About 10-15 minutes after I drank the 2 cans I started getting really hyper and I started jumping around and running around laughing, so my friends started looking at me and laughing at me and instead of calling me dumb or stupid they all started saying how special I am. They were all kind of just following me around calling me special and just going along with everything I was doing. Something I know is that when you’re out with me you’re usually either laughing at me or with me. Something that I know for sure is that when you give me red bull know I will 100% start running around like an idiot. Finally one thing I can promise you is, you will never get bored when you’re with me.
