Good news! I'm going to school! YAY! I took my placement test and as predicted, I aced the English part of the test and also as predicted, I bombed the math. I'm so bad at math I have to retake PRE-algebra. Shit! I remember learning that in freakin' MIDDLE SCHOOL. I learned it and I forgot it so a lot a good it did me (for the kiddos that are probably NOT reading this, math is needed in the outside world. Otherwise you end up being a school bus driver like me and having to pay to relearn everything you should have already known by graduation). Anyway, I'm pretty excited to start school. Who knows, maybe I'll find more time to write. After all, I do write best when I'm supposed to be doing something else. That is how three of those stories down there got started.

As for other events in my life; on the bad side, I've been officially diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, which basically means I need to take "Happy Pills" (God, sounds like something out of 'Brave New World', no?) and pay someone to listen to me talk. Hopefully things will get better. On the good side, I've finally gotten a job that I can honestly say I love as a school bus driver. I love kids and now I have a lot of them. Unfortunately, I do not get 8 hours 5 days a week (and I'm lucky the days I do) but the pay is good and again, I love kids.

I also recently taken a fascination toward 2012. I don't think anything will happen out of the ordinary, but I do find all the theories flying around like crazy are very interesting and now friends and family say I have an unhealthy obsession with it. Personally, I don't see what they're talking about. Nobody mentiones my obsession over the TV show Supernatural and that's a WAY bigger obsession.

For anyone who actually reads this bio, my grandfather died late last week. Things have been rather hectic so I won't be able to update Reality of the Image for a bit. I'm sorry for the delay but the third and last chapter will be up as soon as I can manage to get back into the writing spirit.

I’m a vertically challenged almost albino girl with dark hair and dark circles under my dark eyes. Probably from lack of sleep which I consider a total waste of time that could be spent reading. I usually dress in tried and true jeans and tee-shirt combination. Add the jacket that is worn inside but never outside this time of year. Not with this summer heat.

I live with my mother and her crazy dad whom I absolutely love. I have to! The guy taught me how to shoot a gun and drive when I was thirteen. Though he rarely smiles (usually has this annoyed look on his face) I can tell that he’s much happier living with us than alone like he used to after Grams died.

As far as favorites go; I love Terry Goodkind’s books and will read anything of his that’s set in front of me. I like some of Steven King’s novels but much prefer his essays and recommendations. I think Dr. Seuss was a genius and have his whole collection. I don’t watch TV (the one exception is Supernatural which I have to watch as it first broadcasts. It is my holy religion so bite me) because nothing I want to watch comes on when I want to watch it so I revert to watching my shows online or on DVD. Those shows are Supernatural, Stargate SG1, Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies. I also like anime even though the Japanese are completely insane. Favorites of anime include Cowboy Bebop, Yami no Matsuei and Fruits Basket in no particular order.

Also I have one pet peeve that totally pisses me off. If you do review any of my stories, you can say whatever you want, good or bad. Except for one thing. Do not, I repeat, do not ask me to review your story. Every signed in reviewer I get I will look up the stories and if they have something written in the fandom I’m interested in, I will probably read it. If I like it, I will review. Ninty-nine percent of the people who ask me to review their stories do not know how to write. Because they reviewed my story and asked me to, I feel obligated to review the story no matter how bad the story is. I used to be somewhat nice about it. But no more. While it’s true I still feel obligated to review if asked, if I think your story stinks, I will say so and I won’t be tactful. And all that because it puts me out and I don't like reading bad writing.

But enough about me, go read my favorites or if I have a story up, read that.
