NEWS:
5/18/08: Just put 6th chapter of SH(that's The Sweetheart for those of you who aren't familiar with my lingo) up and I hope to have the next one up very soon(read:this week). Thanks!
ok, so I'm Alex. That's really all you need to know about me, but just in case you're absolutely intrigued by that first sentence, I'll tell you more. 1st of all, I'm a girl. Quick Story: I once went to a cheerleading camp at the YMCA when I was like 7, and when they had the lists of campers and their gender next to it, they put me down as M for Male. That happened a lot... I LOVE reading(I'd rather spend a day at a library rather than a mall, not that I don't love shopping, it's just that books are awesome.) I like writing as well(No duh, I'm on fictionpress). I am a huge sugar freak(hence jellybeaner), I am a theatre geek(I do shows, listen to Broadway music and pretty much love anything theatre) I am SUCH a sucker for romance but I'll read anything and I'm open to different genres. I've never really thought of myself as a writer, but I read so much in my youth(haha) that I decided to write the perfect book(at least in my opinion) and that's how it all started.
Well, that's kinda me. But if you're REALLY interested for more(and who WOULDN'T be??)
I adore chocolate. (See? I even bolded it. That's how much I love it)
If you were to give me a pug I would love you forever.
The current direction (ecologically and emotionally) this world is going in really scares me
I love to cook, but more often that not it's desserts and then I end up eating about half of it.
Some people call me Al, but I never really liked it because that's Aladdin's nickname. Besides I've always liked the Little Mermaid best.
I have a friend who is really short and she's a leper, and we drive each other crazy with stupid unvoiced contests but I love her anyways
Music is my life
So is theatre
I say I love scary movies but I really don't. They freak me out. I mean I can watch them, but they'll still freak me out.
For some reason, and I'm not sure if this is pure coincidence or something scientific, every time I go to the library, I have to go to the bathroom. It's extremely frusturating, and makes it impossible to look for books and/or movies.
Literature concerning YOU and/or ME
Currently Reading: Harry Potter #1(I'm reading them all over again this summer)
A Few books YOU need to read before you die, or maybe that's too long. Let's make it your next birthday:
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale, The Bloody Jack Series by L.A. Meyer, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, A Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier. Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns. The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, Anything(that's not a title...) by Jennifer Donnelly.
NOW GO!
Some books I want to read in my free time(in other words, that I will never get to read):
The Beekeepers Apprentice; or The Segregation of the Queen by Laurie R. King, Any Steven King books(I'm working on IT, but it's scary!), The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, and oodles of others. If you've read these, tell me how they are and whether they're worth reading...
My Stories
Salidocious:
When their parents don’t come home one night after a week of travel, Laurel and Blythe Mansfield travel outside the boundaries of their tiny farm and into a city where they end up staying with gypsies. The gypsies are forced to move north after murders start occurring within the tribe, and Blythe goes with them, but Laurel ends up in Salidocious, a hidden city with a terrible secret. There, she meets Max, a prince cast away from his rightful kingdom, and together they try to solve the mystery of the kingdom of Salidocious . (Yes there is a prologue with some young children. Don't let that deter you. It's only for 1 chapter!!) I said I was going to update this every Saturday, but obviously THAT didn't happen. It's actually on a semi-hiatus right now, because I'm got writers block and currently more fond of my other two stories, those being...
Trust Me:
I've really only had Salidocious for goodness knows how long, and I thought it was time to start a contemporary piece. Trust Me was born: Rule 1 of Scorned Females: Boys are evil and cannot be trusted. Brooke wholeheartedly agrees with this sentiment, but when she meets Jake at a summer camp that she is attending against her will, her entire world is turned upside down.(ON HIATUS)
The Sweetheart:
(Definitely got the idea for this in an Old Navy changing room) Lucy Baker isn’t interested in being a member of her high school’s exclusive sorority, Queen of Hearts. But when she gets an invitation and is pressured into it to boost extracurriculars, Lucy finds herself in a whirlwind of drama, scandal, and ... hearts
