Author has written 17 stories for Life, General, and General. Hi everyone! Thanks for reading my stories and poems, it means a lot to me to know that people are reading them, and any reviews I get will make my life complete. Seriously. So please review my stuff if reviewing is your type of thing, and please tell me if I'm doing something awful that should be corrected! Thanks :) So...about me. I'm a seventeen year old vegetarian, musical(very important part of my life!!!), bisexual, poem and story writing pacifist. I'm also a liberal, surprise surprise. I have awesome friends, and an amazing family, and they normally serve as all of the inspiration for my writing. I have a little sister, that, even though she's busy being a cranky teenager right now, is quite a sweet little thing. I love dissecting languages, and, to date, have taken three years of Latin and two years of French, which has really given me a thorough understanding of how words come about, although it seems I still can't spell. I talk(a lot) and when everyone is sick of listening to me talk, I write. About my writing: I tend to write a lot of things that don't have gender identification or character backgrounds, so the writing focuses more on the plot. That's why so many of my stories have the main characters as 'I' and 'you'. Most of my stories, I only start out with a brief thought, and a general concept of where I want to end up. Thus, I don't tend to write long stories because I can't fill out enough of the middle information. I've been doing a lot of experiments with writing within the past year or two, i.e. past tense verses future tense, or tons of background as opposed to none at all, and the best of these stories get thrown onto this website. Most of my writing is more on the depressing/angsty/loss side of life, which is a strange parallel to my personality. I generally proofread my stuff so many times my eyes get sore before I upload things, but if anyone ever sees a mistake or anything(I suck at spelling and my spellcheck doesn't always agree with me...), please tell me! If anybody ever needs an open ear or advice or anything about any kindof topic in the world(boredom, sexuality, cutting, life, family, etc), my ears(er, keyboard) are always open, so if you ever need a person to talk to about anything, I'll talk to you. Sorry I have such a huge long rambly profile...my fingers just started flying! Thanks for reading! :) | |||||||||

When the Party is OverThere were kids shrieking and shouting and running about this room just twenty minutes ago.
