Hey! Since this is a welcome post, I suppose that I should start with the formalities. WELCOME. How was that? Do you feel welcomed? Awesome. Lets see.....interests. Well I make it my goal to try as many different things as possible. But for the convenience of all, lets just stick to my favorites. I have played field hockey for 6 years, I am on the nordic skiing team, I play violin, and sailing is quite possibly one of my favorites. I am an avid camper, and hiker and I have been in over 17 different National Parks. But as interesting as all of this is (not as interesting as wolverines, but then what is?) you probably want to know what kind of writing I generally produce. Huh. that's tough. Whatever my teachers tell me? Don't laugh, it's true. That's why I am in this class. I was hoping to get started on some pieces of my own, some stories that I am truly proud of. Maybe even create some of my own poetry. I am an avid reader, and so my strength lies in reading others work, not writing my own. If I was asked to choose my favorite author, I would respond that books should not be chosen based upon who wrote them. Some fabulous books were written by people who only told one story. Should those names be forgotten because they don't have a famous name attatched to them? Like Jane Eyre. Charlotte Bronte (or was it Emily Bronte???? Drat) only wrote one story. And Jane's story is still told today. But if I was told I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO CHOOSE, I would still be a pain, because I coyuld never choose just one. Some of my favorites include J.K. Rowling, Gary Paulson, Robert Frost, ande Dan Brown. But, as I said, there are plenty of others out there. All right lets see. Thats about 6 bullets done. What inspires me? Ummmmmmmmmmm................................................................................................oh dear lord this is painful. Because I have the most cliche thing in the world to say. Nature. Yup. So sorry, I'm sure you are banging your head on the desk right now, but it really is true. The ocean, lakes, trees, fields, grass, flowers, you name it. THough I must admit, the woods are my favorite. Why nature? Well I could give you all that crap, its beautiful, its pure, blah blah blah. Now, while I think that all of this is true, that is not why nature really means something to me. I love Nature because anyplace you can go where talkign isn't needed is special to me. I am generally a chatty person. I like my friends, I like to have a good conversation. But when I am tired of that, and when I need a break, Nature is there. you can travel with a stranger or a friend in the woods and not talk for hours. But when you are done, you still feel closer to that person. That is truly wonderful. So now that you know a tad more about me, I hope the pants have not been bored off you and you still wish to continue reading my thoughts!
