I have a tendency to get ideas for stories out of nowhere, so I've finally decided to begin writing and publishing them here! As of this update to my profile, that's a lie. I haven't written anything in months and am somewhat embarrassed by the quality of my existing stories, most of which were written in high school. That also explains my angsty plots and the terrible quality of this profile, which I might give a complete overhaul eventually; for now it's just getting this little preface. Anyway, I've decided to leave the old stories up for the few readers who enjoyed them. Preface over. Back to high school me with a sprinkling of more recent but unimportant things thrown in.

Side note: I'm a nerdfighter, and if you are too, we should be friends.

GUYS IGNORE MY PROFILE FROM HERE ON OUT. I'M NOT A ANGSTY HIGH SCHOOLER ANYMORE. CAPS LOCK = IMPORTANT LOL.

I generally focus on or involve some sort of psychological problem. You could say that I'm "emo on the inside," but with the persona of a (mostly) normal person. I despise spelling and grammar/ mechanical errors, and find it hard to read stories that are full of them. I can handle a few typos or whatever though, because it's okay to not like things so long as you aren't a d!ck about it.

From "Running on Empty" by Kim Jea-eun:

"Your empty words about suicide are annoying. You don't even have the courage to kill yourself... Do you even know how a person looks when they've truly decided to die?"

"And you know me so well, bro? Just because I laugh, do I look like a fool to you? Do you know what kind of thoughts I have, just to breathe every day? With what kind of a resolution I had, standing on that railing? Do you know why... Why I cried? Truly... Really... I want to cry every day, but since I'm a guy, it's humiliating. So I cry in my heart... every day, again and again... Until those days become too much to bear, so that I keep thinking that I want to die."

Favorite quotes:

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters." Frank Lloyd Wright

"Depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling... People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile." Judith Guest

"Wit is educated insolence." Aristotle

"All generalizations are false, including this one." Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)

"Genius is more often found in a cracked pot than in a whole one." E.B. White

We Wear the Mask

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

Paul Laurence Dunbar

Note to reviewers in general: Whether you like or dislike my stories, please give me a reason. "That was good/ terrible" does not constitute a review. I would prefer details, but the aforementioned, albeit less appreciated, review is still better than nothing at all... Always point out mistakes you find; I probably have OCD, so my stories won't be rife with grammar and spelling errors, but if I miss something, let me know. I'll fix it!

Note to potential flamers: It's okay to not like things, but don't be a d!ck about it; it's okay to not like things, but don't be a d!ck about the things you don't like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0la5DBtOVNI

Why would you favorite my story but not leave a review? Favs = :) Reviews = XD

I am NOT CURRENTLY available as a beta reader. Unless I love you. Feel free to ask.
