A note to my readers: I'm working on about six different stories now and battling writer's block all the way--and still beginning new projects. My updates may not come for awhile, but I promise there will be updates.

My current projects are:

>Finishing The Other One

>Beginning a massive rewrite of Tough Guy and a Teacher's Pet--now in progress

>Add several chapters to The Girl With a Boy's Name--Chapter 10 up, 11 already being written. May add a chapter before

In general: I'm an EIGHTteen-year-old girl (College Freshman at Penn State. Woo!). I live in a small Hick town. I hate it. I write a LOT and spend just as much time on the computer. I live with my mom--who has completely helped make me who am I--and a twin sister--when we get along we get along great, but when we don't I can't even bear the thought of being related. I think I'm a nice person, even if I am pretty shy. I love black, can kill an eyeliner stick after one use, and wears chained pants. (A lot more now). Normally I'm just a band tee and jeans person. Converse tennies too. I love my Converse tennies. Punk, goth, emo--call me whatever you like. Labels don't bother me.

As for my writing, I write the kind of stuff I like to read. I'm a hopeless romantic and I believe in giving my characters a happily ever after. (Though I'm not entirely sure if I'll ever get mine). I love trying to take cliches and make them my own. And hopefully I've managed to.

(Warning! Content May Be Boring! Continue Only If Interested!)

On the inside: At first, I can come come off as very quiet and unfriendly. SHY and take some time to warm up to people. NOT SNOBBISH, as so many people seem to think. When I feel comfortable around someone, I'm random and talkative. I'm very easily amused--shiny things are good. I can swing between optimism and pessimism very easily--as well as morbidly depressed to annoyingly happy and hyper. I'm not very adventurous, but I'm open-minded. I give bad advice, but am a good listener. I hold grudges, but am loyal. Usually nice, a champion of the underdog. Naive. Too trusting. Can be immature. Undecisive. May attempt to be sarcastic. Slightly perverted. WARNING: DO NOT PISS OFF. I will curse anyone (even my best friend, I'm sorry to say) up one side and down the other.

Things that rock (in no particular order): Internet junkie--I think my record for staying on is about 8+ hours. Writing (obviously). Reading. Reviews. (I'm a review whore). Driving (love my '05 Civic!). Music (ranges from disco to heavy metal. I do not like country though). Going to the beach. Rollerblading (me on wheels, interesting combination). T.V. Johnny Depp. Anime. Exercise (in moderation). Animals. Hanging with my friends. My friends in general. Black. Eyeliner. Guys who wear eyeliner. Piercings (just got my eyebrow done). Tattoos. Shiny things. Junk food. Browsing around the mall. (There's more, but I can't think of anything right now).

Things that suck (again in no particular order): Backstabbers (This one is first on my list). Vaccum Cleaners. Mustard (not because it tastes bad, but because I can't go a day at work without covering myself in it!) My sister. Mosquitoes. Snobs. Unneeded attitudes. (Seriously, get over yourself!). Prejudice and anti-Semitism (Yes, I'm Jewish!). Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (So...annoying). Miley Cyrus. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. Anything that involves any of these people or any one else who are on the same shows. Sharks (they scare me). Jellyfish (ditto). Country music. My job (sometimes). People who come to Wendy's (where I work) and try to super-size their order, get a Happy Meal, or order a McFlurry/Nugget. Trying to think of things I like/don't like. Going back to school after a vacation. People who abuse animals, are nasty for no reason whatsoever, act deliberately stupid, try to use others. People who whine, have naturally whiny voices. People who think that they're so much better than you and that THEIR way of thinking is the only way. Mondays. Having my picture taken. (Definitely more, but I don't want you all to thing I hate the world).

If you want to know anything else, just ask!

Quotes: Just a couple of blonde moments.

"I thought white sapphires were supposed to be blue." --Me

"You mean Quebec isn't a country?" --My sister

"The North Pole can't be real, because that would mean Santa Claus is real." --A girl in my friend's brother's class.
When told that the North Pole does in fact exist: "So Santa is REAL!?"

"I thought you just cracked open a tree trunk and there was paper rolled up inside." --the North Pole girl's sister

"How many hours are in the longest day of the year?" --My friend Erin

Me and Erin talking to my manager:
Manager: -describes how she and her siblings don't look anything alike-
Me: "Maybe your mom slept around with your dad?"
Manager: "I don't think so. I have my dad's temper."
Erin: "Maybe your dad slept around with your mom?"

So my sister has a friend who has a habit of raiding our pantry whenever she comes over.
Friend: Do you have anything to eat in here?
Sister: Want some Ovaltine?
Friend: What's Ovaltine?
Sister: You know what's in a Whopper, right? (By this she means the candy). They sometimes put in milkshakes. That's what it tastes like.
Friend: disgusted Why would you put a hamburger in a milkshake?

My stories:

Tough Guy and a Teacher's Pet:

A twist on the good girl, bad boy story. She's Valedictorian; he's an ex-gangster from New York. Is the school ready when two different worlds collide? There are only two possible outcomes: either they destroy the school or each other. It's anyone's game--but he knows how to use a gun. My first story on Fictionpress. Complete but is now undergoing construction.

In the rewrite, Jennifer is more a trapped, performing animal than an eager little goody-two-shoes. Cameron is, well, Cameron. Same sweet lovable guy.

Cameron Only with black hair, slightly longer, and an eyebrow piercing

Jennifer Picture may change

Alicia Picture may change

Damien Picture him in more gangster clothes and with a lipring

Still Looking for pictues of Darryl, Phoebe, and Ryan. More characters may be added.

Giving Them Hell

On temporary hiatus. Read and your own risk--it goes according to the original version of TGAATP.

Sequel to Tough Guy and a Teacher's Pet. Amazing. Four - five months have passed since Jennifer and Cameron first met. Not only have they survived, but they're actually a couple! Can such a rocky romance last? They seem to think so but the world doesn't. Trust issues, secrets, skeletons falling out of the closet--nothing out of the ordinary. Now add a girl who is inhumanly obnoxious, super judgemental parents, and Cameron's perspective on some things.

The Other One

My baby. Only one chapter left... :( Current count: 24/25 May be revised however.

Clashing twins. One "Gothic" + One "Preppy" = one fierce sibling rivalry. Answer + One Sarcastic Musician + One Persistent Football Player=One hell of a school year!

Now that I've thought about it, it seems like there is a double meaning to the title "The Other One". Meaning 1: Sawyer and Alexa. Alexa always feels inferior to Sawyer--and is treated as such. Or so she believes. She strives to become her own person. Meaning 2: Alexa can't quite settle down with one guy and is constantly wondering what her life might be like if she was to date the other one.

Alexa Not quite how I described her, but I like the picture a lot

Sawyer

Luke

Still looking for everyone else!

The Girl With a Boy's Name

Chapter 10 Up!

Smitten with a gorgeous guy, a tomboy tries to break away from the long-term image she's earned as "one of the guys". Is it possible to undo years of being one of the guys? Can she learn to act--and fight--like a girl as necessary? She sure as hell is going to try. But will her efforts be enough or will she only ever be a close friend?

Jake Picture him with dark brown hair and green eyes.

Found her! Kyle

Keep Your Enemies in a Headlock

Sadly I'm taking a break. I'm completely stuck on ONE part. My first M/M story. I'm pretty excited about broadening my horizons.

Upon coming out to his family, fifteen-year-old Matt is condemned to the wrestling team by his father to "man up". Unfortunately, his plan to "de-gay" his son isn't going to work. While Matt pretends to be straight, both for his own security and to satisfy his father, there is just too much temptation. He gets to spend a lot of time up and close with a lot of attractive guys, including his arrogant-but-gorgeous crush/rival Jason Brady. And then there is the stunning champion from a rival school...In spite of all this distraction, Matt's wrestling isn't suffering. He's going to do whatever it takes to get in the ring with the champion.

A young kid's struggle to find love in a very prejudice environment and acceptance with himself and his sexuality.
