Author has written 108 stories for General, Essay, Love, Life, Friendship, Nature, Fantasy, War, Religion, Family, Fantasy, Haiku, Spiritual, General, and Biography.

I am a student at Cypress College in California, majoring in English. I am observent, silent, intelligent, and despondent.

Two of the biggest influences on my work and style of writing are Emily Dickinson(my goddess) and Francesca Lia Block. They are both brimming with talent.

My favorite movie is Benny & Joon or Casablanca.
My favorite poets/authors are Emily Dickinson, Dorothy Parker, Francesca Lia Block, Dean Koontz, Neil Gaiman & Derek Bickerton.
My favorite color is black.
My music(s) of preference: K's Choice, Space, Pink Floyd, Audra, Tallari, Kidney Thieves, Silverchair, Devics, Godhead, Jack Off Jill, Deftones, Poe, Mediaeval Baebes, Elvis Presley, Attrition, Rasputina, Violent Femmes, Human Drama, The Cranberries, Bif Naked, ZAO, Drowning Pool, Voltaire, George Thorogood, The Proclaimers & Susanne Rosenberg.
My time period is the Medieval era and renaissance (Rock! Pirates conquer all! Especially Vikings!)

Poems marked one of my favorite poems in the description are precisely that. I recommend those if you are wanting to read one or two works to sample my style. ;)

This is the best rule: Review mine, and I will review yours...if you already have, I'm getting them done... :)

Advice By My Friend Liz:

'My advise: Always pay attention in Algebra class because if you dont you'll miss something and you'll think that it wont matter but it does cuz a while later theyll be like "member when we did this?" and youll say "no" and theyll say "too bad cuz were doing it again only this time its also got suchandsuch on it too" and your like "can you help me?" and theyre like "no cuz Im helping this kid who cant speak english right now" and then you get bad grades and your mom thinks that moving you to laguna hills will solve all that but it doesnt cuz your still not paying attention in Algebra class cuz you just got a new James Patterson novel so you still get bad grades and your mom makes you get a tutor but she sucks and you have no friends and some guy goes nuts at the Ralphs accross the street from your school and stabs a bag boy...'

Thanks to all of the following people who have helped me realize who I am and what I can be.
Liz (BethMorgan) - You have been my closest friend for years and I've always admired you and wished I could tell you everything. I know I'm not always the best friend I should be, but I want to thank you for everything you've ever done for me. I want to tell you that every word you've ever told me, I've locked in my heart. You mean so much to me. You've helped me become who I am today, and you've kept my spirit and morals alive. You are one of the most wonderful and amazing people I have ever met. I owe you everything.

Candace (SoulRetriever13) - We used to share everything - our dreams, our crushes, our motivation. We would spend every hour we could with each other and when we ran out of life, the other would always be there as a shoulder to cry on. Since you've moved, we haven't kept in touch as much as we should have, and that's one of my greatest regrets. I love you like a sister and always will, and I wish I could be with you now as much as I used to. I hope one day we can patch up all the holes.

Allen - Every time I cried, you were always there to wipe away my tears. You were always there to support me when I thought no one else was. You always said how much you loved me, and I never appreciated it as much as I do now. I will always remember the sound of your voice, and the softness of your words. I will always love you in return, no matter what happens. Thanks for being everything I ever needed.

April - You've always been the same person as me. We've had the same past, the same family history, the same emotions. We were the same person. We both pretend we are so badass, but we both are empty on the inside. You've let me see into your heart and I've done the same for you. Most people will never know how deep we both really are, but thank you for letting me know I am not alone. Thanks for giving me back confidence.

Matthew - I haven't seen you for years, but I still dream about you. I know we'll see each other again, and I know you'll try and forget everything that's happened, but I won't. I know someday things will be like the were. Thank you for helping me realize a great many things, and for being the first person I ever loved. You were the first one that ever gave me the feeling I belonged.

Christina (UnsungButWritten) - I haven't known you that long, I've never even met you really. The only thing I've enchanged with you is words on the screen, and lots of battered emotions. You've been through alot of the same things I have, or are going through them now. You remind me alot of who I used to be. You are a wonderful person who can write wonderful poetry. You've inspired to keep climbing this icy mountain. Thanks.

UPDATE!:
I have started writing a (novella) of sorts. I am not sure when I will finish or how often I work on that, and until I complete it, I most likely won't be posting on such a regular daily basis. I will try *really* hard, but my main focus will be to complete my story. Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to posting my story when I am done! Feel free to continue to review my stuff (it makes me happy), and I will continue to review yours!
