Wow, I finally am putting a profile up and I've been a member for how long? Not very, but still. I can't say that I'm really an aspiring writer because I'm not even taking Enriched English II next year, but I can say that I like writing what I want to write and getting praised or critiqued about it because it gives me an escape into a world that I control and that no one else can take away from me. I long to live in the world of my characters where with one keystroke I can give myself a happy ending or at least a happy year, week, day, hour. Time moves at the pace I want it to, there's no homework or real work to distract my characters from the plot I've laid out or from the path I want them to take. There isn't a way for me to mess up in a world where I create the code of character and the laws of life. If I screw up in real life, then I can change that screw up into a lesson learned in my hero's life or I can make what I did something that is completely acceptable or even expected. If I decide to scream at my parents at the top of my lungs for no real reason other than one I've already forgotten, I can make one up and write a few paragraphs on the hellish pain that the sidekick's parents put him through when he was a child that turned him into a bitter young man; too old for the age he really is. When I get dragged to a hospital to say goodbye to my dad before he gets med-flighted to Texas and put in a drug induced coma for two months I can vent my frustrations in a piece about death and destruction and how God has abandoned the world and life itself. I can make any world I want in writing and I can change it at will, with no warning and my characters won't yell at me, at least not where anyone else can hear it. They are the only ones who really get in my head.
Well, that was serious. Onto less depressing topics, such as that I'm a high schooler from OH-IO. Also, I'm really involved with my church and youth group. I'm one of those annoying kids who freaks out because she gets a B on a report card even though that's still above average. I am also a dancer and a singer and a pianist. My parents (aka my dad) have said that I shouldn't pursue music as a career because my mom went to Oberlin and ended up an elementary and middle school music teacher. I'm really good at science and I love it; I wouldn't mind going into medical research, but, I really love music and writing and the arts in general. I am no artist, but I know a few people who are and I can't believe how amazing they are. I'm am also most definitely not the writer of my group of friends. That's my friend Pig Pen. That's not her real name, but she uses it as a way for no one to know who she is. Well, that's about it. I'd say more, but I'm not interesting enough to write anything else about me.
