What a nice looking community. I'm simply honored to now be a part of it...

Well, for starters, my name is Halee, but I'm more commonly known as Zee, or Tribal. Multiple variations of my names have been adopted by those I know. Zeeish, Zeezeers, Zeeness, Tri, Tri Tri, Hay, the list goes on. You can use any of them, I'm perfectly fine with terms of familarity.
As a newly thirteen year old girl, I suppose ignorance and discovery are only part of my job description. Beyond that cliche', I'm an artist, a writer, a singer, and I have recently taken up belly dancing.I've only been dancing for a month or so, but my favor of it is at the top of my list of hobbies. It's simply a beautiful and profond thing.

Since I tend to write novels(pun not intended, ha!) I guess I'll explain how I got into belly dancing. I've always, always loved dancing. Growing up, my aunt's best friend, Martha, was a belly dancer, and she has always been around me. She grew into a part of my life from the beginning, and now she is more like family than anything. Until recently, I always thought I was too fat to dance, but continued to do so in my room, alone, for about two years. I had no clue that the dances I did were similar to belly dancing.
I've grown much, much faster in mind, body, and spirit than the children my age, and yes we are still children at thirteen. I began getting curves at about nine, and I mistook them for being overweight. Other people my age mistook it for being overweight too. That ruined my self confidence for a long time. I am just gaining it back through belly dancing. The realization that I wasn't fat, but an hourglass and therefore perfect for belly dancing, came to me on my thirteenth birthday.
Now, I find myself taking on perhaps a little too much with belly dancing. I push the limits sometimes, I guess. Yesterday, I correctly preformed the turkish drop for the first time. It felt amazing and beautiful. It only got me more addicted to dancing. Thank god I was already flexible!

Looking forward to meeting everybody, but sadly I must be off! Ta ta!
