ANY AND ALL RUDE REVIEWS OR FLAMES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! IF YOU LEAVE A NASTY REVIEW, IT WILL BE DELETED AND YOU WILL BE BLOCKED! DON'T MISTAKE THIS FOR NOT WANTING A BAD REVIEW BECAUSE I DO ACCEPT CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AS IT HELPS ME IMPROVE MY WRITING, BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU ABSOLUTELY HATE OR CAN'T STAND, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT. IF YOU CAN THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO PUT IT, SHARE, BUT I WILL NOT TOLERATE A REVIEW THAT SAYS, "OH MY GOD, WHAT A STUPID IDEA! THIS WAS COMPLETELY RETARDED AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST WASTED MY TIME." IF THAT IS YOUR THOUGHT, FINE, BUT TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS BAD ABOUT IT AND WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED.

On that note, if you leave me an honest review, telling me what you did and didn't like I will review you back. Give me something to work with instead of just a "that was cool" or "how interesting" or "dumbest story ever". Between work and obligations at home, I'm an extremely busy person so it may take me a little while, but I will still read your work. All of my projects are still a work in progress so there will be many errors and I have all of the chapters mapped out already so you can suggest different directions if you'd like, but the outlines and basic drafts have already been written. My biggest pet peeve is people leaving a one sentence review and then writing an entire paragraph in response to a review I wrote them. Please don't discuss your own works or my comments in your reviews.

Now that I have my review guidelines in place, if you would like to know more about me, keep reading!

My name is Trisha, I was born 12/19/83 in Auburn, WA. I'm 5'2" with blue eyes and blonde hair, but don't let the blonde fool you. I have a degree in Computer and Electronics Engineering Technology and am a QA Inspector Level I at Carlisle Interconnect Technologies in Tukwila, WA and working my way up to Level III to qualify for the Quality Engineering department. I love watching football and going to watch the Seattle Thunderbirds play. I'm the granddaughter of a preacher and am part of a large family totaling more than 150 aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, parents, siblings, and second and third cousins combined. Even though my extended family is large, I have only one sibling: an older brother who was, until recently, a captain for Colgan Airlines. I write (obviously) and do a ridiculous amount of singing. I'm a pool monkey. I don't mean pool as in swimming, I mean 8-ball and 9-ball. I've been playing pool since the beginning of 2006 and placed 17th in the National Singles 9-Ball Shootout Championships in Las Vegas and my team, Menace to Sobriety, played in the National 8-Ball Classic Team Championships a year later. It's an obsession. I met my boyfriend through a cousin of mine who now teaches preschool children in Thailand, and she met him through playing pool (are you seeing a pattern here?) He's fourteen years my senior, but we talk like best friends, play like children, argue like husband and wife, and protect each other like siblings. I love him more than my own life. I'm fascinated with foreign languages, and while I'm only fluent in English, sarcasm, and baby babble, I can read and speak a little Spanish and can say "Let's go" in French and "Let's go, my love" in Arabic. I tend to use one different non-English word or phrase in my projects. I'm incredibly accident prone. Just gonna throw that out there right now. I've broken a total of nine bones (four of them were toes, two of them were at the same time and one of them had to be completely reconstructed from scratch), had a concussion and dislocated thumb from being thrown off my own horse, stabbed a screwdriver through the webbing between my fingers, split my chin open, the list goes on. I'm active in the breast cancer research community and participate with Susan G. Komen. Visit the3day.org to make a donation to our team, Valley Girls & Guys!
