About Me
:
Unfortunately, I'm an English major who grew up mostly reading whatever was lying around my parents house, including their leather bound books containing the classics. I took the risk in majoring in English because 1) I couldn't afford the books, 2) if I'm bored I read or write, 3) I'll be going to Law School after I graduate College, 4) I want to prove to the world I can't write, 5) I have a corny, saucy, vivid yet somewhat filthy imagination, 6) I keep getting turned down at job interviews, 7) if I could choose between writing and dating then it would have to be writing because I can say things I'd normally never say to a girl in person, annnddd 8) it's time to get out of my shell and exhibit my work to the cyberspace public. Literally, I can't stand writing! I never can get what's in my head down on paper the way I want. English in High School was never my strong point and I originally wanted to be A Poli Sci major or a Psychologist. I was more good at Logistics and Math till I got a C in College Algebra because I was taking too many classes and wanted to be an actor. Fiction is not necessarily my strong point though. My real gift is in poetry and playwriting because actions speak much more louder than words, of course I know there are grounds for objection. I'm iffy whether I like to write novels or not because as you already know, much of my inspirations can't really be put down on paper the way I see them in my head. That's why I'm more of a playwrite and poet. To be a poet one must have a fragmented sense of imagination that can easily recall words and write a poem without giving it too much thought in the creation process. To be a playwrite you have to try and depict actions and emotions without being to specific or too wordy. This is the first time I've showed my work via. the web, maybe, sometime not too far off, so, enjoy and handle with care and lie if it's too good.
