Young Writers Society

My interests are startling diverse, from whitewater rafting to playing video games in a zombified state. Writing is one my many interests, along with physics, math, and basically anything else you would care to throw at me.

You might say I like the great outdoors, due to the amount of bicycling, hiking, and camping I've done with my Boy Scout Troop. My sister would say I'm a zombie, or some troll who hangs out in front of his computer all day. There is much to be said on both sides. I prefer to think that I get enough of the outdoors to not really miss it.

My life, if you haven't caught on yet, is one of incredible contrasts. I live in the state of California, near San Francisco and Sacramento, yet I'm a conservative. I wear hawaiian shirts with jeans. I like to debate and speak, but I enjoy sneaking around my house at night, just to see if I can move noiselessly (a feat which still eludes me). I can speak like an adult convincingly, yet lollygag with the guys just as easily.

You probably don't care much for where I live. All I need to tell you is that it is a pretty spot.

Even at the age of sixteen, I am attending a local Community College, where I am getting my general education along side adults. The courses are designed to take a year of a class in school and then compress it into a single semester.

It might be more interesting to note my dislikes; writing preferences aside. I dislike rap music intensly. Hip hop is not as intense, but is still a dislike. Baggy fashions annoy me as well as goth personalities. Not that goths are bad, they just are way to dramatic for my light personality.

I have an odd tendancy to like gryphons, vs. dragons, ninjas, and anything else you might find in a Japanese anime, with the exception of battlemechs. They're cool.

I enjoy playing and messing around with an ancient game called Total Annihlation, the first RTS ever. I also play FPS's like Battlefield 1942 and Mechwarrior 4. They are the three most common games.

I also am fairly level headed, so I consider myself a fair advice giver, but I doubt I'll see too much of that here.

I'm afraid that is all I can come up with of the top of my head. Certainly you all have questions. Ask away!

Woohoo! Go rafting and video games!

Actually, I'd like to know where you live. No, I'm not a stalker lol. Just curious, 'cuz I live about 45 minutes east of SF.

Nice!

I agree with you on everything except goths. I can have a gothic personality, although I usually try to keep it a little lighter. Some of my good friends are goths, and that's fine with me. To each his (or her) own.

GO DRAGONS!!

As do I. As long as I don't horribly clash with anyone, that is.

*dances*

I just like gryphons, they represent my alma better.

Goths are okay, I guess, but I think they need to lighten up.

Come to think of it, so should poets, I can't go into the poetry section without coming out feeling like I'm bloated with wet tissues. That dirty feeling that makes you want to rip off your arm and sanitize it with a real fire.

I'll just stick to stories.

HI dude! Rafting is cool. Video games also cool. Goths...creepy.

Funny, not many people seem to care. 'Cept for Elfcat.

Oh well.

I also despise rap and hiphop. Cause I'm a christian and mostly listen to jars of clay, kutless mercy me ect. There is christian rap but I still don't like it.

Hawaiian shirts and jeans? Definetly a fashion nono. Not the combo but the shirts... Lose. it. NOW.

::ahem::

I did that last year. I was 14 and I turned 15 at the end of the first semester. I got annoyed at the fact that no one would believe that I was 14/15. very annoyed.

I've found some pants that actually work with it, honest!

I definitely find their aspects similar in some ways to my own. Don't restrict the gryphons to some divine pimp house. Unless your hareem is constantly attending them.
