Name: Julia

Age: 19

I like: sunflowers and awkward firsts and colors and daisies and sunshine and summer and snow and ribbons and Converse and fashion magazines and food and chick flicks and Barcelona and hope and brown eyes and gray eyes and green eyes (and beautiful eyes) and abstracts and dresses and run-on sentences and being aware (and being awake) and comfortable silence and belly laughter and swearing and shopping and yellow umbrellas and music concerts and dancing and foreign cities and kindness and donuts and books that change me and people that change me and smiles and pineapples and brick buildings and hugs and wing bones and coffee and breathy confessions and standing up for what you believe in and itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikinis and the flat-stomached, bright-eyed, sweat-glistening, throat-aching feeling you get after you wake up the next day after an adventure.

I don't like: real-life conflict and real-life shouting and real-life tears, and I don't like people who can't see the twenty million sides of an issue or a person or an event, I really hate isolation and being left out, and I don't like spiders and spare change and sales tax and awkward silence and starvation and broken pencils and failure and Mary Sues and homework and social climbers and feeling stupid and ugly cuticles and gum surgery and big skin pores and the smell of cooking fish.

I love the idea of love.

S T O R I E S:

I think you should read:

Moon River everything

(Short Story, Complete) Pen is not earth mother. And the boy is not gentle. But he is lovely and broken and if she could stop being a chickenshit she could call him up and ask him to take her to Casablanca. This is how the world begins.

(This is a little bit like Hanging; if you liked it, I think you'll like this. But if you read nothing else of mine, read this. Please. This story was the most exhausting thing I've written in a while and I'm very proud of it.)

To Fight or Fall: Action/Adventure/Romance/Drama/Humor

When hate is taken to ridiculous proportions, students at Westfield School of Boarding fondly known as SOB must choose sides. The ringleaders are thrilled, until, with the entrance of a new player, their war becomes a war to protect the very school they hate, and the people within it. A bit of a satire

((SKOW Round Four Judges' Pick for best Het Couple, Cale&Ember...which I find quite funny, considering they aren't even a couple yet.))


0

Hanging Angst/Humor/Romance ; Rated M for language

(Short story, Complete) She's a typical bleeding heart, so when a suicidally depressed, foul-mouthed, unpleasant man-creature shows up at her door for shelter, it's not like she has much choice but to take him in... Written entirely in dialogue.

0

Counting Chickens (Romance/Friendship/General/Humor)

She wanted the fairy tale. She wanted the chick flick. She wanted the soaring music, the dozen roses, the ball/prom/wedding, the Princess Bride kiss-to-end-all-kisses. She wanted the cliché. It’s a pity she was so busy up in the clouds that she didn’t recognize it when it came.

((SKOW Round Five Judges' Pick for "Hook, Line and Sinker" Award))

Quotes of the moment:

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is war; love is growing up.
-James Baldwin

I am an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
-Carl Sandburg

Shout outs and smackeroos to:

Of course, all my reviewers. I love you all; you are all gorgeous. But especially:

You know why. :)

This is a general message that will probably apply to me for the next year(s), errrr.

I'm not really here right now.

I'm one of the worst updaters in the world. I take anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months to update. But I will not give up a story without notifying you. And thus far I've only stopped one story, but it still swims around in my head from time to time, and who knows, maybe one day I'll start writing it again. So I want to apologize for my poor track record when it comes to posting up that next chapter, but you have to understand: I do have other things going on outside this, and for a while I even considered giving up this website because it was having negative consequences on my own SELF. And nobody wants to lose theirself. But I'm still here, and I'm not giving up, and thank you all so much for being so patient and supportive of me. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. You have no idea how humbled I am to sometimes see new reviews show up, and reviews from people who have been reading and reviewing me for at least three years now.

Thank you again, to all of you. I wish I could be better at typing up that chapter and ending the suspense and everything, but I'm not and I can't be. College takes up rather a lot of my time, and I try to grab a few moments every so often to write some, but it's difficult.

But this isn't me giving up, by any means. After all, it's because of all of you that over the last five years (yes, it really has been that long), my writing has improved so significantly. You challenge me, and I can't thank you enough for that.

Cheers.
