Hum.. Well.. My name is Madison, though I'm generally called Riddle on line. I've recently turned 15 years old, I have ADD, 4 pets, and my mom forces me to speak regularly with a psychiatrist who is most defiantly more screwed up than I am. I've been practicing various forms of writing since the fifth grade, including poetry, short stories, long stories and role-play via message board games. You may or may not receive updates from me often, I do have a life beyond the computer, but I'm sure that I'll be more excited to write if I have lots of reviews.

What else? Um.. I often have some boyfriend or another, but I won’t bother putting up any names considering that I get bored easily and don’t stay with anyone very long (what can I say? Blame the ADD.) I'm going into my sophomore year of highschool. My classes include Trigonometry, English AP, European History AP, Chemistry Pre AP, Spanish III, Beginning Guitar (Art or music was required), and Health (also required, though I don't see why they're wasting my time; it's not as if we don't know the basics of safe sex by sophomore year). Fun classes, hm? I have this thing where I pick up on material very quickly and ace my tests, but don't really do homework n.n;. And when I don't do homework, my grades drop, and when my grades drops I get grounded, and when I'm grounded I can't update my account. Chain reaction, see? Just so we're all forewarned.

Hum.. Okay, I suppose I should put something about my writing style. Funny thing is, I don't really have one. I work hard to try and make my stories unique (hate formula writers) so yes... I don't write pointless "the sunflowers were pretty" poems, or "oh my gawd, jason looked at me" highschool drama stories (I get enough of that at school, thank you). I try to give what I write meaning, though some of it is very bizarre (Broken Glass and The Last Day of Eternity, for example), meaning that you may or may not like it. Some of my work, poems especially, are from when I was a child and are put up as a keepsake, even though I don't believe it's my best work (Crimson, Through the Eyes of a Little Girl). In short, you will probably like some of what I write and dislike some of what I write. I don't pretend to be a perfect writer, but I do use correct grammar and spelling, I plot ahead of time and try not to rush my story or make it overly dramatic. I also have a lot of experience, good and bad, so hopefully you'll be able to find something in my archive that you enjoy. I don't mind flames, particularly constructive criticism, and anyone who reviews my work is my god.

If you want to contact me (I'm talkative and don't bite, no worries) you can email me, use my IM, or send me an MSN at numberthir13en@ or riddlemethisriddle@. MSN is probably your best bet if you want a live conversation, I'm on often, but if you don't have MSN I also promise to reply if you email me.

A poem about how people can sometimes hide their pain from others and keep it bottled up inside, even though there's no reason to feel ashamed about being hurt every now and then. It's about the false face society sometimes encourages people to wear.
