Over the Pond

Well, basically as a child (and I'm talking preschool) I wanted to be a lepidopterist. Thats the best way I can think to describe myself. Here's why: a) a lepidopterist studies butterflies, and what could more free, simple, and beautiful than a butterfly? b) i learned what one was in a book, and those have been my daving grace ever since c) when I told my preschool class that's what I wanted to be, everyone, especially the teacher, was just like "....what?" That seems to be how most people view me. As a "....what?" person.

I started writing seriously (Im not going to count those little pictures i drew in kindergarten with captions under them that were folded in half to make a book) in about 5th grade. All my friends were writing poems about death and destruction, and they kinda sucked me into it. As I started writing though, I started writing about things like what it felt like at 4:00 in the afternoon, or the way the wings of a bird stir the air. I've kept at it ever since, and have more recently begun writing stories, which I'm liking a little better than poetry (in most cases).

As for the rest, well, here's a summary: Music is the food that I eat, acting is the air I breathe, and God is my shelter in the storms of life. My friends and I never make any sense, and I can curl my tongue into a clover. I know I can't dance, but its too much fun to pass up the chance to. Sometimes I stay up all night just to watch the sunrise, and my favorite food is chicken parmesan. If there's anything else you would like to know about me, all you need to do is ask, I'm pretty open usually. I know we'll be terrific friends

I like chicken. Haha. Wow, to study butterflies? That really does sound so... free. What would you want to do when your older now then? Anything that catches your eye? You sound like a very fun person, and you seem to have a very flexible tongue, a clover? My god. Guys must love you.

You sound pretty cool too Haha yes, guys usually do get a kick out of my tongue tricks. Now that I'm older and spoiled by society, I think I'll just open a bookshop/coffehouse in the city and write in my spare time. Or perhaps be an editor and write in my spare time. Or teach and write in my spare time. Basically I only have one thing for certain =P What about you?

Ooh, it would be really fun to have your own bookstore/coffeehouse. But a lepidopterist (SP?) would be cool too. ^_^
