For those who are fans of Ancient History, here is the picture that inspired the tangent regarding the picture in chapter 30. it's the picture of the woman at the bottom. http://mypage.letssingit.com/images/deathbymonkeys/light_study_iv.jpg
So...I haven't been on here in what, 2 years? It's changed. A lot. So have I. I will update.
Hello, I am Allison. Also known as Silver.
I joined this site when I was 12, and used to write a TON of Mary-Sues. I still write mary-Sues occasionally, but hopefully they're better-quality MS's than what I started out with. I am now 16, with a lot more writing experience (I've been published in several American litmags thus far, and I'm working on getting a short story into a collection) and hopefully a lot more plain talent. I think I've matured a LOT since then, so hopefully you won't be seeing too many childish mistakes and such.
I also speak Spanish darn near fluently, so if anyone speaks Spanish as well and would like to talk, just say so. Me encanta hablar con las personas nuevas, y mas practica con un idioma esta buena. :)
And now for random facts, just for giggles:
I am an extremely liberal Democrat, although there's certain stuff that even I won't put up with.
I am a pagan, usually termed a Wiccan, although I prefer 'witch'. And yes, there IS a difference.
I'm as Southern as they come, complete with thick accent and cowgirl hat.
I'll take my steak mooing, thank you.
In addition to speaking Spanish, I understand a lot of French and Italian and am learning to speak Hebrew as part of my escape plan from the US. Anyone who can assist me in this goal, please do.
My main ambition in life is to be a writer. Side ambitions include: becoming a concert pianist, being a translator, singing, traveling to at least 20 countries before I die, and giving my mother a heart attack with all the insane stuff I plan to do.
I have a Japan fetish (I'm talking fashion and architecture, not that silly anime stuff. Although some of the manga IS pretty good, like Suki and Vagabond.) and will be learning Japanese after I'm done with Hebrew.
I'm extremely stubborn. EXTREMELY.
I can be quite prickly and cold on occasions, but I SWEAR that I'm really not as uptight as it looks. I like talking, so please talk!
Reviews are like orgasms. You can never have enough.
Adios!
