Update, 8/27/09: You may notice that the stories are gone (except one). Well, yes, they are. They were published thoughtlessly years ago, and though they were meant to be funny, they were also very dumb. I'm sorry if you enjoyed them, but maybe someday something better can be posted. In the meanwhile, I won't be haunted by years-old silly things I posted on the Internet.

For a while, though, I think I'll just be a reader and learn more about writing and practice more, BEFORE I actually post anything. ;)

Former readers, thank you very much for being so tolerant and kind.

(Why is TFOKL still around? I honestly don't know. I was braced and ready to click DELETE but then nostalgia and doubt crept in, and I saw all fifty nice reviews, and I dunno. I'm not happy with it, but it's here. You can laugh if you want to at the terrible writing, I guess?)

About me, briefly:

I like: writing, reading good stuff (preferably that can make me cry, it was so good), grammar and spelling, collecting paper dots, animals, geology, paleontology, herbology, etymology, words (especially ending in -ology), creating, learning, knick-knacks, no-bake cookies, and recliners.

I dislike: running, airplanes, parsley, too many cliches, buses, rap, vermin, Thomas Jefferson, confrontation, and my laptop Joey spitefully breaking in new and unique ways. Just to get at me.

Currently dabbling in: learning meter, writing my own stories, and schoolwork.
