Hi! Welcome to my Author's Page! I've been looking for how to update my author's page for a while now, and I have finally figured it out (does "the happy dance" in the background!). Yeah, I know, it's not that hard to figure out how to write on your author's page, but I have gone round and round with this computer in trying to create it (mumbles under breath about how evil my computer is to me). Yes, yes, I know that I only have one measley poem up at the moment, but do not worry, I have written more. I have not posted them because I don't have Microsoft Word at the moment, and that was the only way I was able to post the first one on this web site. I am thinking about putting all of my poetic works into one big poetry booklet so it will be easier for readers to view my work. If you are reading this, then feel free to vote on whether or not I should do this, on the poem I posted.

Those of you out there who are more into reading short stories and chapter books, don't worry, I'll get to writing that soon. If you have any ideas for me as a writer or want me to joint-write something with you, then feel free to tell me in a review or e-mail me at heartoftherubyfire749@yahoo.com. By the way, constructive criticism is greatly encouraged. I want to make myself a better writer, and I need/want to know what your opinion is. It honestly makes me feel great when I hear from you guys! Okay, I guess I need to tell everyone a little bit about me.

Name: Christina

Age: 17

Date of Birth: July 10, 1991

Where I Live: Carrollton, Texas (a suburb to the north of Dallas) (in the United States)

Grade: Freshman in College

School: Oklahoma State University

Electives/Outside Activities: Karate, Girl Scouts, Band, Color Guard, French, Crime Stoppers, Fencing, possibly Freshman Exec., the French Club, and the list keeps growing and growing because my parents are so adamant about me taking on so manyclubs/organizations. Now do you understand why I say, "I just now got a chance to write a review for you"? I know that it gets annoying with me saying that so much, but it is true. Time is always of the essence for me.

~Eh most of this is old...but i didn't feel like changing it yet

Instruments: Oboe, Singing, and possibly Guitar, plus flute and sax which I will learn later/ in spare time.

Hobbies: Dancing, Drawing/Sketching, Writing (of course!), reading, speaking French, marching in Marching Band, twirling flags in Color Guard (and soon to be rifles and sabres/swords), Singing, Playing the Oboe, doing homework, telling stories orally, Practicing Karate, Playing Volleyball, Running, shooting hoops, playing with my little sister, and other things I can't really think of at the moment.

Siblings: 10 year old sister

My Appearance:

Height: 5'8"

Weight: I don't think I'm going to tell this to a bunch of strangers out there on the web. But I am considered idk normal

Hair Color: Okay, it goes in layers; they are all naturally colored this way. Bottom- dark brown. Layer 2: medium to light brown. Layer 3: red Layer 4: blonde and a deep/rich gold. Overall, it looks like a light brown color, but it would normally be darker if I hadn't gone into the sun so much this summer.

Eye Color: Okay, this is kind of funny. My eyes change colors a lot. The colors they rotate in and out of ight blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, light gray to where it looks almost colorless, and finally dark gray the color of clouds. What's also interesting is that I have flecks of orange, red, and brown in my eyes. I know, it's kind of weird. My friends think that I am a very colorful person with my eyes and hair put together. My parents think that I am a descendant from Tonks (a character from The Harry Potter Series) and that I can alter my appearance.

Skin Tone: I am usually quite fair/pale, but from marching outside so much I have gathered a bit of a tan. Once marching season is over I will have lost it and have gone back to being pale me.

Okay, I've got to wrap this up because I've got school in the morning (I've got to be there at 7:00/7:30 A.M.). Basically, I love to receive reviews from readers out there, including anonymous ones and ones containing constructive criticism. If you ask me to read some of your works, then you can count on me to do so. Also, I thank you for letting me rambleso muchwhile taking up your precious time as a reviewer.
