| Bio: | I've loved writing since I was a kid. I'm a bit of a graphomaniac. I have floppy disks and flash drives filled with old stories. Composition notebooks. Ideas or sentences written on cocktail napkins and receipts. Multiple online journals. Several half-filled leatherbound journals. I like to dissect things and write them down, perhaps believing that if I don't capture each thought as it comes, it will somehow evaporate into nothingness. I'm dichotomous in that I find myself torn between the idealistic and the pragmatic, sometimes excessive on both ends. I'm perceptive and focus on minutiae, which stems from being almost obsessively thoughtful and introspective; however, I also have this desire to be larger-than-life, which has more to do with the passionate and artistic side of me. I'm an avid reader, which goes hand-in-hand with being a writer. I read both fiction and non-fiction. I love both science and politics and hope to somehow be involved in both at some point. I want to start a journalism business and perhaps branch into other forms of media later. I have no set style. I listen to all different types of music. I love Grey Goose martinis, dirty, but most of the time you'll find me at a local bar with a pitcher and a pint glass. I like surrounding myself with creative, intelligent, charismatic people. I want to learn different languages and travel. I want to go to operas in Italy, hunt Caribou in Alaska, backpack through Koh Samui and charter a plane to South Africa for a weekend. I want to learn Parkour. I want to learn piano. I'm sure there's much more, but you'll have to know me to figure that out. "Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way." --White Oleander, Janet Fitch | |
