Hello there.
I'm afraid that I really don't have all that much to say about myself. At the present moment, I'm a female high school student with a passion for writing and hopes of improving.
I used to write a lot of poetry, but I don't do it very much anymore. Lately, I find myself trying my hand at short fiction. I personally think that I'm vile, but then, I guess everyone does. I hope to someday become a journalist- hard news, entertainment, whatever. I'm from New England and absolutely adore New York City and Boston.
Other than writing...my love is music. I sing and (occasionally) play the guitar, and though I'll listen to anything once, I don't like much of anything that isn't hard rock or alternative (or showtunes).
As you may have guessed from that, I also really love theater, and it takes up most of my free time. Other than that...I paint, play videogames, I take pictures... and I am in possession of a horrible part-time job in retail and a hermit crab named Eddie.
Oh, and I am absolutely obsessed with Stephen King, and it never ceases to thrill me when somebody chats me up about him.
Please read, enjoy, and above all, critique! I prefer not to give out my email or instant messanger information, but I would be delighted to hear from you here.
(I'm also not really 18...but...who needs to deal with censorship, right?)

Today, I have been assured that everyone handles it differently. It’s not uncommon to do this; it’s perfectly acceptable to say that. I have learned that if I need something, I should call them. I’ve been told that nothing is
