Cheers.
My name is Hope…AKA LoserLaxen, as I’m sure you know. I don’t really know why I’m LoserLaxen…it was a stupid inside joke I had in fifth grade that I don’t even remember, and ever since I’ve used it for usernames. I decided not too long ago to change it, but then I realized that it would be potentially confusing for many many people….many many meaning about the ten who have added me to an alert list.
So maybe not that many.
I’ve been writing forever. Well, maybe not forever. The earliest I remember that I actually sat down and put it all on paper as a story was about fourth grade, but I’ve been a great story teller ever since I was little.
Storyteller here meaning liar.
Yes, I admit, I am a bit of a liar…but it is only to the amusement of my fellow man. For example: when I was about…nine or so…a friend and I were rather ticked off at our neighbors. So we told the poor boys that we were the last living members of a secret organization called ‘The Golden Eye’, and that the Golden Eye was set in place to protect the world from an evil genie.
Yes, an evil genie.
Anyway, we continued to make up old neighbors and past siblings that had all perished from the genie, and that anyone who knew of the genie and didn’t believe would be killed.
To top it all off, we got my friend’s brother to dress like an alien and chase them down the street.
I don’t think I’ve talked to those neighbors in several years…
Then there was the time I told my other neighbors that there were pygmies living under my trampoline.
Then when my friend and I told a bunch of annoying little kids that they shouldn’t go surfing that day due to the large number of sharks that had been sighted in the breakers.
To enforce it we showed them a scar on my friend's pinky that he actually got from an old rabbit and told them it was a shark bite. I think we actually called it a ‘love bite’.
So maybe I’m not a liar…I just exaggerate a little bit.
I pride myself on my imagination.
Few others do.
I like my stories, though it is quite possible you don’t. If that is the case, you should check out my friend Elisabeth’s profile. Just go to the favorite authors list and look for a name with Elisabeth in it.
It’s not hard.
When it comes to my everyday life…it pretty much comes down to A) walking to Panera, Blockbuster, or Burger King, B) eating, sleeping, sleeping, and eating some more, C) writing, reading…eating some more… D) and blasting out the neighborhood with my guitar and amp…in earlier years it was my drums, but I stopped that when I broke some dishes in our pantry.
So yes. More than enough info about me, really.
Cheers mate.
