My name is Elizabeth. I am twenty-one years old, in college, majoring in writing and minoring in Biblical languages. I am a Christian.

Most of my posted work was written for various college classes.

I've had a sheltered life in some ways, but I've seen more than you might expect. "A Huge Misunderstanding," "Fool Proof," "Mornings," "My First Blood Drive," and "The Lingering West" are all entirely true and might give you some idea of what I mean.

12/13/07 I'm leaving school in a rush because of the weather, but the power's out at home and I don't know when I'll be able to be on the internet again. So, I'm kind of in emergency mode and won't be answering anything for a while.

By the way, "Hello Journal" is not finished yet. I'm not sure yet what's going to happen with Joe's new roommate, but the story will go on...
