Author has written 20 stories for General, Romance, School, Love, Life, Nature, Religion, Friendship, Humor, and Family.

Hey there. I'm currently attending UCSB as an undergrad. Since I was young, I've fancied myself a writer. I love poetry - reading it, writing it, absorbing it so it becomes a part of me. It is one of the highest and most valuable forms of creative expression. That's what my poems are - bursts of creative activity. There's something cathartic about writing a poem and then posting it on fictionpress. Reviews only serve to enhance this experience. So, if you read please be sure to review; I greatly appreciate it and will do the same for you.

I'm also really interested in Philosophy and I love dialectical inquiry and debates. Aristotle, Bertrand Russell, Daniel Dennett, Max Black, W. V. Quine, Derek Parfit, and Saul Kripke are my favorites right now. Wanna debate justifications of epistemology within metaphysics? Care for a possible counterargument to Hume's skepticism concerning causation? Want a refutation of Locke's criterion of personal identity? Or maybe just a run down on good old Aristotelian teleology? If you'd like to discuss matters of philosophical importance, I'm your chick. Hit me up:
