About Demeter

Hi, I’m Demeter! I got my name from the musical Cats, not the goddess, although she’s quite cool too.

I’m twenty-three and I study translation in university. I like hot chocolate with whipped cream. I like to rap sometimes. But please don’t tell anyone.

I love cool earrings and colourful nail polish. I love travelling and seeing new places, especially if those places make me feel like I’m in a Jane Austen book.

I discovered YWS in May 2008 when I was looking for a site to post stories and get comments. I’m really glad that I did, although nowadays I don't really post any of my own writing. I am working on a novel though!

My favourite book is the Catcher in the Rye and my favourite film is the Lion King, which you probably never guessed!

I also like fluffy baby seals. ^_^

Too often we crave the extraordinary in life, without even learning how to cherish the ordinary first. Friend, I promise you this: if you can learn to take joy in the simple mundane things in life, the extraordinary will take care of itself, it'll be on its way, hurrying towards you. But if you skip the first part, it'll ever evade you.
