"Curiosity is the basis of education…I say only that the cat died nobly."

-Arnold Edinborough

(Regarding my pen name.)

Update 7/12: Hey all...so while FP was a huge part of me growing up and shaping who I am, I'm focusing on other interests right now, like my decision to be a painter and writer/illustrator of books. Ergo, while I still love to write, I don't have the time or the passion like I used to. I'll leave everything up so it can be enjoyed, but it's doubtful that anything currently uncompleted will ever be finished. If you're interested in following my art career PM me for my artist website!

About Me:

I'm studying illustration at art school and trying to balance wanting to be both a writer and an artist; all of the stories posted here were written when I was in high school but I still think they're filled with all sorts of gooey nostalgia, so check them out.

I value humor and symbolism above everything else, and detest unnecessary drama--so that is how I try to write my stories as well. In my writing, you will see me actively trying to avoid cliches, and if i do embrace them, it'll be with some stupid twist I thought was clever once upon a time.

N here are some final words of wisdom from a favorite movie of mine:

"Molly: I knew it. As soon as I saw that suit.
Henry: Knew what?
Molly
: You're a 'just' guy.
Henry: What's a 'just' guy?
Molly: A guy just like you. Same hair, same suit, same shoes, walks around, no matter what, you think it's all just a store, it's just a bench, it's just a tree. It's just what it is, nothing more!"

-Molly Mahoney and Henry Weston, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium


1. One Way Ticket » reviews
I'm not proud of it. Stealing his train ticket, that is. But, hey-I needed to get out of Berlin and he was my one way ticket. I didn't care where it led, as long as it was far away from my jerky ex. I just didn't expect to get caught.

2. Battleship » reviews
There is a simple answer for this equation. An overly competitive boy plus a sunken battle ship, minus eight years of friendship, plus the sum of being pushed into a puddle of mud by a girl who also doesn't apologize equals a very clichéd hatred.

3. Thanks but No Thanks reviews
I'm thankful to dad, for standing up for me. I'm not thankful to mom, who is making me write this stupid letter. I'm not thankful to gross Gracie Cole, who mom keeps trying to make me be friends with. I will be thankful for a puppy, though. Love, Jackson

4. Just reviews
To Theo it was just another night alone. Just another tie. Just another day. Just another week, month, year. Just this, just that. It was just life, after all. So when he met Avery, of course his first inclination was to believe she was just another girl.

5. Help Wanted reviews
Sometimes I think I'm too nice. That it's going to make me end up like one of those Law & Order dudes, dead in a ditch because I try to help girls with psycho abusive boyfriends. Hannah was a case in point that I couldn't ignore. Or so I thought. Oneshot.

6. Sense with a Side of Dense » reviews
I was born poor and worked at a toll booth; I'd thought that made me a girl with sense—I knew not to talk to strangers, when to cross the street, which bus to take—but until I met Wyatt, I never realized I'd been a girl who was dense. A short story.

7. The Happiest Place on Earth » reviews
It can't get worse if your job is Mickey Mouse, right? Wrong. After my boyfriend cheats on me, I'm left stranded in a falsely advertised Hell with an odd group of coworkers and a pesky [he's NOT cute!] tagalong quasi bum. Happiest Place on Earth, my foot.

8. I Framed Roger Rabbit reviews
I am in a bunny suit. This is practically child abuse. As if it couldn't get worse, Logan Smalls—AKA, the Devil—has just taken a picture of me, in all my bunnified glory, for our school newspaper. I swear, I'm going to kill him. Easter oneshot.

9. Love Notes » reviews
To her, the class was possibly the dullest thing she could ever do. That is, until the day she found a little note written on her desk from a boy the period before her...and things got a little more interesting. Short, cute oneshot; NOW WITH A FOLLOW UP!

10. Chopsticks Vs The Tree reviews
Fed up with commercialism and being Jewish, Gabe was set on hating Christmas. Of course, he wasn't expecting to befriend a prime example of CFD, or Christmas Freak Disease ...Or, for her to show him the real meaning behind the holidays. Holiday oneshot

11. The Little Things reviews
They liked the little things in life. He liked the way she was comfortable in her own skin. She liked the way he would purposefully get flour over himself for her amusement. Neither was after making a big mark on the world...just on each other. [oneshot]
