I wish I was this cool when I was 12

When browsing through the technology section of Trend Central, I found this freakin' awesome 12-year-old's blog. Her voice and writing are way beyond her mere 12 years, I think I was still brushing barbie's hair and dressing her in 80s wedding dresses...

The greatest thing is, she still seems like a kid. My favorite list one her site:

Listening: The Last 5 Years
Feasting: gatorade
Watching: It Takes Two
Reading: Random Archie comics
Wanting: a cape
Doing: reading
Thinking: I would not for my life. He has toad, he should be happy.

Favorite picture:

Tavi is arty without being overly sexualized, since she is creating her own media instead of catering to the big wigs. She could be a huge influence on other girls her age, that one can be smart, artistic, poignant, and a kid, all at the same time.

My coworker also just brought up an interesting point, will more and more kids like Tavi start popping up on the web? Blog are something children have become increasingly exposed to and it is only a matter of time before they start taking advantage of the medium.

Go check Tavi out!

I agree - her page is amazing. I'm sure we'll be seeing more sites like this - especially as the mom bloggers start passing it on to their kids. (Although likely not all so artistic!)
