No matter my age, my friends, my family, or the extent of my writing abilities, I will thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all that I have. He is the ultimate best friend, and I pledge to honor Him in what I write.

I have graduated from college, and so I will be looking for work. I'll update whenever I have the time, thank you for being patient.

11/17/14:

It is done. Chapter twenty of Forsaken is now officially up. It is indeed one of the most satisfying moments of my life.

As a bonus, I have gone back and edited the older chapters to match my current writing style. The chapters are still the same, but in some of them, I have added things that may be to your liking.

Chapter 21 progress: 66%

Joke of the Moment

A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy another, but only have $500.

The redhead tells the blonde, "I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram."

She goes to the market and finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer.

Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word "comfortable". Skeptical, the operator asks, "How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?"

The redhead replies, "She's a blonde so she reads slow: 'Come for ta bull.'"

Hallo, strangers, or not-so-strangerly folks! Welcome to the humble abode of lilpurplebird. Normally, I'm the type who is shy, and doesn't like to talk much, but whatever comes out of the top of my head, will come here. So--!

RANDOM FACTS:

1. I have Asperger's Syndrome (screw what the APA says!). For those who may not know, let me explain as simple as possible. Basically, this is why I prefer anime over cartoons (though I love animation in general). This is why the Japanese language captivated me so in high school. This is why I took a 3D animation class. This is why the only Looney Tune character I like drawing the most is Marvin the Martian. This is why I don't socialize well with others. This is why my vocabulary and way of speaking is strange. And... other things... I suggest you look it up. Heh... sorry folks. I tried.

2. Contrary to Asperger's, I have hyperlexia. No, it doesn't mean I'm hyper all the time woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo, hoo hoo, woo hoo!. It just means I was born to read. It's opposite to dyslexia.

3. Please expect me to be weird. I always have, and always will.

4. My preferable topics of writing are:

Friendship: I've had experiences with friends that have affected my life. Thus, I tend to position a storyline around in this category.

Family: Family is very important in my life. You'll see this often.

Romance: I have no love life. The one you'll always expect some form or another. *goes to count romance stories*

Comedy: From the Asperger's, because I'm weird. After posting quite a few humor stories up, I am pleased to say people at least laugh at my sense of humor (I had worried over this for some reason). And I'll admit, I suppose many, if not all, of my stories have humor in them. So yay.

5. I am a very nice person, so you won't get anything bad from me. I'm lenient, and is not easily hurt by people who are angry with me (although I don't tolerate flamers, they make me laugh). There does come a blue moon, however, where the volcano inside of me erupts. It's more contained now than it was in my elementary school days. Seriously, you compare my childhood years to my teenage years, you'd be "What the freak happened? Oh yeah, maturity xD!"

6. Just because I'm Mormon doesn't mean my stories will be happy and unicorn-like, and mainly for small children.

7. Err... my catchline is "Hey Twinkie!" with a very deep voice. (Emphasize included.) Next catchline has to be "Please be kind to midgets" and "nyaa".

8. I drew my avatar myself using PhotoShop CS4. Am still currently messing around with it.

9. I don't like to admit things like this (especially since they made me), but I have two brothers on the site. They have gotten better over the years. For the most part.

10. I am most certainly going to be more religious in my stories when the plot calls for it. Yup.

11. I have that weird feeling my grandparents were fattening me up... Kidding, I love my grandparents, I really do. I was just being spoiled when I was living with them. *pokes muffin of a belly questionably*

12. My username is an old nickname of mine from when I was in elementary school. It made sense at the time, and it still kinda does. Point is, the name stuck.

13. On July 10th, 2014, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Film and Video Productions.
