So I just started college. Oh bob. (Yes I said it! Oh bob. XD) And so far, aside from having a nervous break down in the parking lot due to a whole mapquest malfunction and getting lost trying to find the dang place (honestly, I dont wanna talk about it) and then being 10 minutes late to my first class AFTER walking into a spanish class rather than english which is where I was SUPPOSED to be...It's been quite decent. I may stick with the whole Graphic Design gig for this year...but after this I'm sooo switching majors. Art just doesn't make me happy like it once did. :(

Apart from that...

I'm a girl (not so surprising seeing as most on here are) and I grew up in the boondocks of central Ohio. Yeah I'm a country girl who rides horses, runs around barefoot, and can replace not only a flat on my car, but can change the oil as well. Surprised? So am I. Woooo ;)

So I love cars. And horses. Kind of an odd mix but it works for me. I've got two of my own (horses that is) and they are, aside from my best friends, the only creatures that make me most happiest and free when I'm with them. They are my darlings and know it. I ride because it is my oxygen; My personal brand of crack that is, for the most part, priceless. I ride purely for the joy of being in sync with a creature far more majestic and humbling then anything I've ever known. Its a fantastic feeling, riding into the wind with a horse who seems to know my thoughts better than I do; Knows when I need a thrill and when I need peace. So awesome. But I'm just rambling. You'll find that I do that often when on the topic of something that I love.

But cars. Ah yes. I wish I was apt enough to broaden my skills beyond oil changes...but I'm not. Booo : /. I find the mechanics within cars fascinating and if I knew how to tear it apart and put it back together again seamlessly, then my car long ago, would have been dismantled and lovingly degutted. But I dont. So I settle for driving my chevy like its a hot rodder (even if its not) and paying intense attention to its needs and when(if) something may be about to go kerplunk (and in that case trying to assist with repairs in what ever way possible, even if it includes light holder or just wrench-passer.) I adore my chevy. I call it my baby Camaro. ahem cuz its like a mini version with just enough kick to keep me satisfied. So cute. Though it doesn't keep me from longing for the real deal. I swear SOMEDAY I will be the proud owner of an 09 Camaro. SOMEDAY. And dont give me that indulgent look of skepticism that my mother first gave me when I told her the same thing. It will happen I tell you! It will! O_O haha

And I digress... cough

I love writing! I love it so much I cant seem to stop! Seriously. Even in my sleep, I'm mentally writing out the details. Its freaky! I'm also kind of paranoid when it comes to my writing. If I don't like it then gosh darn it, you will never see it. Some stuff I've discarded out of disgust and then stumbled across years later and reread it and was like 'What was I thinking? This isn't THAT bad. Sheesh. You moron...mentally slaps self' I'm OCD like that. Its not fun for me, so dont laugh. I just have nooo confidence what so ever in my skills. I'm working on it though. Slowly. Painfully.

Also, so you should know, I'm deeply inspired by music. I'm a walking iPod I tell you. I ALWAYS have a song in my head. ALWAYS. I love all genres too. Rock, hip-hop, country, and pop (though for future reference, I'm mostly partial to rock). My iPod cheerfully carries it all. I even have some classics and instrumental and alternative stuff thrown in there. :)

Now... as of the matter of the two stories I've left endingless...I'm going to have to be brutally honest. I have no desire to finish them as of now. I apologize to all you hopefuls out there waiting (though I'm sure, not patiently. 2 years IS a long wait) for updates but those fics. are as far from my mind as possible these days. I no longer have the urge to write under that subject any longer. That ship. as they say, has sailed. Again I'm sincerely sorry for letting any one down. Feel free to vent your frustrations. Lord knows I need a good berating. Probably a good kick in the seat wouldnt go amiss either. Sorry people. :/

And finally the name change. Many used to know me as Shy Of Silence but until recently I changed it on a whim, spurred by the urge for change. I regret it now. Shy used to be such a cool name to leave as a signature at the end of reviews. But..its too late now...

Until I update again..

L.T.B

Exit The Fall update: Okay so to those of you interested, I am working on the first chapter...it's just taking longer to finish than originally anticipated. Its gonna be deliciously long to those of you who savor lengthy chapters and if not...then I'm sorry. : / Its a monstrosity in the making and I'm currently only half way through it. The decisive plot bunnies that have taken up residence in my brain are quite incessant I tell you. This story is almost literally all I think about..which is kinda bad since I've only just started college. Anybody know of good plot bunny traps to ensnare the little suckers in? They just wont stop duplicating! O_o
