Guess who's back, bitches? Y'all know you missed me!

At any rate ... hello to all you newcomers, and welcome back to those of you wondering if the girl has died. If you don't know me, you should. And if you do, here's a history lesson -- my name is Jessica. I'm eighteen years old and living in Daytona Beach, Florida. You know, that one place where the many hundreds of people get homphgomphed on by sharks every year. I spend a good 70 of my time working my increasingly-miserable job, while the other 30 is divided haphazardly into sleep, fandom and trying-but-failing-to-write.

Seriously, I missed NaNoWriMo by ... approximately the whole damn goal. It was awful.

I have a fatal affinity for anything and everything violent and bloody -- unfortunately, I also fall helpless at the feet of ballet and find myself constantly in awe of Svetlana Zakharova. This is an insane sort of culmination of sadistic and sophisticated that I am almost certain rivals Hannibal Lector. Needless to say my tastes are many and eclectic.

Some of you may have seen me floating around here under the guise of Stray Bandit. I thought it was time for a change. Less and less am I a free-running rogue of the online literary scene, but more now an object of constant improvement. I wanted something with more class.

Everything under this account is going to be either re-written or dropped. Stay tuned for details, if you're so inclined.
