Author has written 43 stories for Life, Love, General, and General. Most of the below were assignments for some class or the other, and I can't vouch for their quality, since some are years old (the oldest were written when I was 10 or 11). Oh, yeah, to all my awesome reviewers: I love you all! Thanks for being so kind! I'm saving all your reviews so I can look at them when I think my writing sucks and feel better.Any kind of review is welcome, even flamers, so please review! Quotes: "Common sense is in spite of, not because of, education."; "The worst is not, so long as we can say, 'This is the worst'." "When people agree with me, I always feel that I must be wrong."" "He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it." "Always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle." "I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him." And my favorite: The important point of spiritual practice is not to try and escape your life, but to face it - exactly and completely. Dainin Katagiri I have several stories/novel things in the workings...but most are too rough draft to post here. Email me if you're interested in reading.

But I always have a lot of friends. Lots and lots of friends. And they're awesome. I love them all. But anyways, I can be considered mean I guess, and I'm definitely very vocal in standing up for what I believe. I don't let other people walk on me, and though I usually know the answers to things, I'll go out of my way not to answer. I hate to lose and I really hate arrogant, conceited people, even though I've been called that (and lots more) more than once. I also dislike clinginess.

Singing: yeah. i sing Acting: Did I mention I hate public speaking? Reading: I'll read anything and everything I can get my hands on. Eating: I do not believe eating is a hobby...and if it is to anyone, please, don't tell me. I'd rather be ignorant.

Sports: These include, but are not limited too: Football, Baseball, Volleyball, Soccer, and Horseback Riding ~My Favorites~ Cartoons: Ummmm, I dislike the TV. Meaning, I don't watch cartoons...never really saw the point. Characters: Ah, so many to choose from. I'd have to say just about anyone from one of Amelia Atwater-Rhode's books, Lizzie and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, and Harri from The Blue Sword. Many more of course, but I don't want to think right know. Food: Anything really, really spicy. Soda: Anything, as long as it has loads of caffeine. Yeah, I'm another of the multitudes completely enslaved to the substance. Color: Black, and silver, cerulean blue too. Number: 3 Video Games: I'm trying to preserve my intelligence. Computer Games: see above Movies: Star Wars, Master and Commander, Erin Brokovitch, Lord of the Rings (though the books are SOOO much better), Rabbit-proof Fence (which was perhaps the saddest movie I've ever seen), The Devil Wears Prada and of course Step Up. only like the best movie ever.
