General: My name is Sinead. I’m a seventeen year old girl from Australia who really doesn’t get out all that much. Sounds pretty appealing, right?
Well then, here’s some words about me...
I find observation intriguing, but often fear interaction. I’m one of those people who sits on trains or in theatre lobbies and watches people. I eavesdrop and imagine, and I make up fanciful back stories. This is a way for me to amuse myself at the same time as avoiding conversation.
I’m terrified of calling people on the telephone, even to some degree those I already know. I like to wear strange clothes and bright colours, but at the same time I’m scared of being judged. It’s possible that I may have minor social anxiety disorder, but I’ve never been tested or diagnosed.
I tend to obsess over things, like a sort of addictive tendency. Television shows and comedy acts are the most prominent of these obsessions, and I find myself quoting, contemplating, watching, writing and talking about my latest fascinations non-stop. Some of these obsessions result in fan fiction, and I have an account for that over at Fanfiction.net, under the same name I use here.
I have never been outside of my home country, and haven’t even seen much of that. But one day I hope to travel extensively, hopefully to England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Canada and America, among other places. It’s a dream most likely never to come true, but one I will surely work towards fulfilling at least parts of.
I adore art of all kinds; drawing, painting, comedy, writing, photography, acting, dancing, singing, music... It all inspires me endlessly, and I embrace creativity in all these forms. Writing is a passion that has been with me even since I can remember. Coupled with drawing, I hope to one day write novels and write and illustrate children’s books. I’m even working on a children’s book idea right now, so maybe it’s a dream not impossible to reach. After all, everyone has to have at least one goal they can achieve, right?

Story Info: Right now all I really have are a collection of short pieces, most of them no more than 400 words in length, that have been written for prompts in a LiveJournal community. I understand that these probably won't be read, but if they are, I appreciate any and all feedback.
I will start submitting work of a more respectable length as soon as I have found the inspiration and time to write something worth submitting.
