Author has written 70 stories for Religion, Fantasy, Nature, Life, General, School, Love, Friendship, War, Family, and Song.

I was born in Israel and my first language is Hebrew, though I also speak English fluently and Spanish haltingly. I like to sing. I'm a perfectionist and a hypocrite. I think too much. Or not enough. Sometimes I'm honest, and sometimes brutally so. I write poetry (though not recently). Mostly for the feel of words flowing out, but sometimes to address issues I feel strongly about (you can tell these apart by the large drop in quality) and sometimes to get a two or three line rhyme out of my head. I can be arrogant. I get pissed off when others are arrogant. Like I said, I'm a hypocrite.

I'm 20, three-quarters of the way through a Computer Engineering degree, and in need of direction. Anything else you'll have to figure out as we go along.
