current . status
07.12.08 - first chapter of "Reality" is being (SEVERELY) edited and the second chapter is in its beginning stages. Also, "Stumbling into Love", "One Can Only Hope", and "TGIOCC" are being discontinued because I've realized that at my very best, I can only do oneshots and ONE ongoing story, not multiple ones. One day, they might be reposted if I can come up with better writing and better plots.
07.09.08 - My brain has bits of fluff floating around. I am trying to make sense of the chaos. When I've come close to something resembling peace, then I will try sticking to it.
06.01.08 - So school is officially out!! Woohoo for charter high schools! i am ecstatic...which you guys can translate into an updating mood. I have a million different ideas that i can't wait to put onto paper (or virtual paper if you want to say).
upcoming . work
Dry Drowning - The condition where an individual's lungs aren't able to extract oxygen, effectively drowning without water. She needed him. He was her air. a short story.
Untitled - It's a fantasy piece dealing with time travel & all that good stuff. A teenage girl from the Great Depression travels forward in time with the love of her life to find a working college student. She needs him for reasons unkown. Only problem? He's too freaked out to give a damn.
Fruitless Ruminations - Inspired by a good friend of mine Alizeh. She had been sitting there on the park bench, painting her nails and minding her own business when Mr. Gorgeous came and sat down next to her. "God, you are beautiful," she breathed. "Excuse me?" he asked politely. She turned a deep red. Crap, she wasn't supposed to think aloud.
the . iPod
Violet Hill - Coldplay.
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi - from the Indian movie Tu Jaane Ya Na Jaane
Golmaal - another Indian song from yet another Indian movie
Comptine d'un autre ete - Yann Tiersen
Stay - Jay Sean
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
These songs are what keep me going when I hit the dreaded wall of writer's block head on. They make me think, get my creative juices flowing, all that good stuff. They're entertaining and sometimes even serve as my lullaby when it's four in the morning. So merci to these artists for helping me get through.

~~ I can personally recommend Six Feet From Paradise as one of the most heart-touching and well-written stories out there on fictionpress. Not reading her story would be doing yourself a disservice.
And while you're at it, you might as well vote for her story in the skow awards.
you know you want to.
~~ review revolution~~ revieww game
~~ Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The story, the plot, Bella and Edward, just everything about the story pulls you in, dragging you by your heart strings. It is ahhh-mazing! ;)
