I live in Canada, Alberta Canada. I have a bay Quarter Horse filly named Socks, and two cats named Halo and Charcoal. My family pets are two dogs, one named Sasha and the other named Si. My dad's horse is a bay Quarter Horse colt named Pawnee. My dad's girlfriend has two horses, Skeeter and Gyp. My brother's horse Target, is dead. He died May first, 2005, two days after his third birthday. Target is greatly missed by us all.

More about me

Changed my pen name, i used to be Sweet-Socks, now i'm Troublebound*Promise

I've finally gotten over being depressed, i'm just quieter now, more timid. I hid my feelings more than i used to, and im afraid to let anyone get close, maybe it has something to do with the face that both Target and my dog Sasha died in the past year, and that my cat Charcoal may also be dead.

I do have to thank all my friends for all the help they've give me, Morgan, Alynne, Devon, Catherine, Courtney, Nick, and Armando. Even my pets helped me, in fact i think Socks helped me the most, but Si, Scarface, Pawnee, Halo and Rick James have helped as well.

Writing is my escape from reality, where i can make my characters suffer more then me. I know i'm not the worst-off kid in the world, but there's a lot i don't tell anyone. Nick, Alynne and Catherine don't know exactly how my parents broke up, and they may never know, unless one of them ask. But writing is my video game, as gay as that sounds. I am addicted. I get home, check my emails, and write. Often, i write during school, when i should be working.

There are three things i truely love right now, horses, writing and music. If im not with a horse, im playing my bass or writing.
