about me.
i'm not the type who would go on and on for hours about myself, so i'll just shoot out the basics.
for as long as i've been able to read, i've read. i even got in trouble at school for reading when i should be paying attention to my teacher. and them teachers, they thought my excellent spelling and wide vocabulary was because of them. ::snorts:: it's all in the books. you learn a lot from books. even fictional ones. if they're written right, you can experience what that character is experiencing and never have to leave your room.
but i digress. the point of that little anecdote was to give you some background of why i sort of am the way i am today. i still love to read. i still lose myself in fictional books and i live in a dream world. now that i'm 18, it's harder to do that, as the pressures of becoming an adult are starting to weigh upon me. i need more than to escape through a book. i need to escape through my own story. so i started writing.
and writing. and writing. i never really finish anything i write. i actually think trail to victory will be the first story i'll have ever finished. i think the reason i don't finish most stories is that the ending is too predictable. i want everyone to end up happy, but if you knew that was coming from the start, there's absolutely no point.
sorry, sidetracked again. i'm eighteen years old and i live in connecticut. five-ten and 130 pounds. i'm not afraid to admit my weight. i'll tell you something actually-- i used to weigh twenty pounds more than that. i lost them accidentally when i forgot to eat regular meals for a week and chain-smoked while playing an online game. i guess i'm happy at this weight but i think i'm a bit skinny and could stand to gain a few back. anyway. brown hair that is said to have bits of red in it. half-green half-brown eyes. crooked teeth. freckle on my nose. i'm not perfect, and i'm not afraid to admit it.
i love computers. i love the net. can't you tell? i'm the one that made this page. simple but it looks decent enough. and yes, i made the banner up top of this page as well.
i don't know what else to put here. you know my age, height, weight, eye and hair color, and for the most part, why i write. my birthday is in november, making me a sagittarius. i'm actually right on the cusp of scorpio. yes, i'm interested in the paranormal and metaphysical as well. i'm a procrastinator, always putting off what can easily be done. i've been dating ben for a little over two months and am still amazed at how perfect we are for each other. none of my previous relationships-- if you can call them that-- lasted more than a couple weeks. i think my subconscious is telling me that by staying with him this long, he's the one for me.
i wish that was the same for jobs. i can't find one i like that pays enough for what i need. i'm twenty-five hundred dollars in debt. i don't have a car and can't afford car insurance if i did. also, my health insurance runs out in three months.
and here i am, sitting in my bedroom, listening to music and writing to you. don't you just love that?
anyway, i think i went on more than i should have. that can be blamed on the first couple paragraphs. if for some strange reason you want me to put more on this page, just email me and ask specifics. i'm pretty much an open book if you ask right. and if you have questions about the story or whatever...yes, you can email for that too.
going now. thanks for sticking around this long.
this pic sucks but it's the only one halfway decent with good lighting.
