A bio, eh?
I've never been very good at filling these out, although it seems as though I find myself faced with them quite often. Maybe I should just start copying the same one every time...
Where to start...Well, now at 18, I currently live in the Metro Detroit area (not actually in the city of Detroit, but just outside of it) and will hopefully be going to College for Creative Studies in Detroit next year...assuming I actually survive my last month of high school. I just have to make it to June 14 and then I'm free from the never-ending soap opera that is high school and enter the world of stress, homework and constantly being broke...oh wait, that's my life now...
I'd just like to say that I do, in fact, plan to finish Carnivale. I have since been to Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence and Prato) so I actually know what I'm writing about. But, I assure you, I am in the process of finishing it, it's just not my top priority at the moment, what with getting in the college and all...but thank you to everyone who has hung in there! And also, until further notice, Let Me Sleep is officially on hold until I figure out what the hell I was planning to do with it in the first place. It was originally going to be a one shot but, since I never know where to stop, I just kept on going.
I have a mass amount of new stories floating around in my head, some of them I have started writing down and some are just sitting there, festering. It will probably be a while before you see any of these stories, however, due to my new plan called "Finish The Damn Story Before You Post It So People Won't Be Choking On Their Rage Because You Haven't Updated In Over A Year". (Yeah, sorry about not updating...ever) It seems to be working...not.
I don't know why I'm constantly writing stories because I really don't want to be a writer...of any kind. I'm hoping to study Advertising and maybe even continue on in that field...or in cello. I've been playing cello since third grade so (since I'm now in twelfth grade) for about 9 years. But I never practice except during lessons or in quartet and orchestra rehearsals so I'm going no where fast with that.
Another reason I never update my stories is my obsession with all kinds of music...except country, bluegrass, etc. (every time I hear it, I picture Amanda Bynes and Drake Bell dressed as hillbillies and slapping each other with rubber fish and buckets...anyone else remember that show?) So I have a whole variety stashed away on my computer and my iPod (named Damon) including Rock, Pop, Metal, Rap/Hip-Hop, Classical, Jazz, Gospel...the list goes on. Hell, I have everything from Britney Spears to Naked Brothers Band to Shostakovich to Slipknot! Aside from that, I have music in other languages from other countries like Croatia, Pakistan, France, Spain, India, Germany, Japan, China, Korea...Canada...
And now, what I do in my spare time: Some of my favorite books of all time are The Master and Margarita, The Brothers Karamazov, The Great Gatsby, Dante's Inferno, The Company, Anna Karenina and of course, the Alex Rider series...one of these things is not like the others...
I also love comedy as long as it's not really stupid (like The 40 Year Old Virgin or Superbad) and some of my favorite comedians are Eddie Izzard, Dave Chapelle, George Lopez, Rob Paravonian and Gabriel Iglesias. I adore old movies like The Philadelphia Story, Arsenic and Old Lace, To Catch a Thief, Top Hat, Holiday Inn...it keeps going. (I also have a little bit of a crush on Cary Grant and have since I was about 3...) Some of my favorites movies are Arsenic and Old Lace, A Dog's Breakfast, Aladdin, Kisaragi, Crows ZERO, Ocean's 11, 12 & 13, the Back to the Future trilogy, Transformers, I, Robot, Princess Bride and -one of my all time favorites that can always make me laugh- Robin Hood: Men in Tights!
And now, a random list of places I want to travel to at some point in my life: Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, France, Korea, Japan, China, Egypt, Italy (again!), Greece (I know I have relatives there...somewhere), Turkey...the list never ends! I also want to learn tons of languages like Italian, Korean, Japanese, French, Greek, maybe Chinese and get better at Spanish porque mi profesor de espanol pasado era muy malo. Unfortunately, it will take me forever to learn all those languages because, where I live, you can pretty much only learn Spanish or German. I had German classes from first to eighth grade and I personally hate the language with a passion. Maybe some day I'll get the money to buy Rosetta Stone or something, but I'm dirt broke so...we'll see how that goes...
I'm going to stop now because otherwise you'll be here for the rest of your life because, I know, my life is just so damn fascinating, you just can't bear to tear yourself away from the computer! But, unfortunately, I have a life outside of ff.net, as much as it pains me to say, and I must get back to that life before it leaves me behind...that would be very sad.
