Wow, long time!
Roller Derby is a really brutal sport that consists of really tough people (most commonly women) on rollerskates, who basically beat eachother for points.
It's not glorious at all, it's really really nasty, but... Yeah haha.
Why did I change my name? I just grew tired of it I guess... So now I'm Frankly Mr. Shankly =D
I am fine. I have the same problem or I get such a humongues writers block that I can't write the next chapter. It sucks big te and all writers get it at some point so we understand.
Oh yeah, life has been great! Tsunami evacuations, bodies washing up on the beaches, gunman still at large, perpetual winter! It's a gas!
No actually, other than those things life hasn't been too bad.
We (my family and I) may go to a roller durby torniment this May! So I'm excited... I sort of like roller durby, and this would be my first torniment, so yeah, we'll see what happens.
I finally got a profile picture up! One that actually is currant, and shows my face... My apologies for that.
How have you been? Busy busy busy with sports I gather, yes?
Actually I just had a tsunami evacuation the other day, due to the quake in Japan.
I didn't even get to sleep, as soon as I went to bed we heard the news and had to pack.
I have four cats, and naturally the one in a carrier on my lap, had to get scared from a car horn and deficate. Seven hours in a small car with three other people, four cats, and luggage.
That has been the most exciting thing that has happened...
Other than that I am trying to quit my caffiene addiction, because of skyrocketing prices, and have indulged in writing more poetry... Wanna check some of it out?
I've been reading mostly Neil Gaiman books, so currantly [i]Neverwhere[/i].
I finished The Graveyard Book, American Gods, this sort of cool book called Among Other Things I've Taken Up Smoking, and a couple others...
Nothing hugely exciting has happened yet... I'm sort of working getting my art out there right now, but I haven't actually gotten to it yet. Isn't that just like me?
Oh! I am gauging my ears though! Right now they are at a size 4, and when I'm done they will be a #2 (which is about the size of a pencil, and only one gauging spike away)!
I'm sorry about [i]Dear Riot Mind[/i], but I don't have internet anymore, so I haven't been able to update anything at all. I'm really sick about that, because I loved writing it... I'll get back to it eventually. I promise.
Writing is doing well.
I'm working through a creative writing book. I ended up writing a childrens picture book, so I have illustrations to start on... um, yeah it's doing well.
I read way too much, to be honest...
Actually it's funny, I have a bookcase [i]full[/i] of books, but no one barrows any of them because they don't like it...
Its a book that goes through selected memories of the protagonists life, things that shaped him into the man he is today (for better and for worse) It's very poetic, and nostalgic, I liked it alot.
I used to be terrible at italics, and the likes but I finally remembered all of the coding for it. It's [ i ] whatever you want to say here [ / i ] without any of the spacing.
It is a little sad I guess, but I'm really enjoying writing it.
And yes, you are appreciated. I like when people make observations, because it forces me to look at something differently, y'know?
I'm extremely glad that you like it, because it has been a little nerve wrecking writing a continuom again.
Oh and yes, I have heard of Tokio Hotel, I'm not really into them so much, but I don't hate them.
I think I'm not going to ask you why exactly you find me interesting, but I will definately say I appreciate it =)
Oh I wanted to tell you! You were nice enough to make the observation, that I have only written standalones... kindly look at my story section :)
That one lonely number that isn't a 1 is dedicated quietly to you, for making me think of ways to change that lonely standalone streak.
Hello, there. (:
I see you have a Twilight story up.
If you wouldn't mind, please check out my newest one;

It is an obsenely long title, I will admit, but it is an incredible book.
I think I'm pretty much the opposite of most people, or so I've come to find.
I think I write standalones because it's like the antisocial form of writing, you don't have characters to revisit, or places to return to, and in a lot of cases, I don't even have characters, just the concept of a character, so if you think about it, it's really just antisocial.
No you're correct, I basically write standalones.
I have only written two things that weren't but I was about 12/13 for the first one, and I quit writing it after 21 parts, then there was one I did when I was 14 and it only last 5 parts because I felt I wasn't saying enough.
As for recommendations, I have this favorite book, it's entirely unorthodox, and grotesquely poetic it's called [i]The Horrific Sufferings Of The Mind Reading Monster Hercules Barefoot His Wonderful Love And His Terrible Hatred[/i] by [i]Carl Johan Valgren[/i]
It's probably really hard to come by so it's rather nonsensical to tell you this, but if you do ever find it, it's an incredible book, one that has changed my life to a certain degree.
