# About me
This picture is still me, albeit a few years ago. I'm lazy so it is going unchanged.I joined Deviantart when I was probably 11 or 12 years old, with ideas of grandeur that involved what I thought was a writing ability that rivalled any professional's and an idea that I still consider my best idea to date. However, I was young and fancy-free, and dove head first into this idea that I had without any life preservers, abilities, or even a gage of how deep the water was - or could be. This wasn't all bad, it definitely got my story off the ground and I met some amazing, talented, and supportive people along the way who gave my pre-teen self just the right amount of criticism she needed. However for a myriad of reasons - my severely under developed plot line, my hyperactive pre-teen attention span, my stubborn laziness that poked and prodded the beast that was procrastination until he came out with full force, or my ever growing social life and ever decreasing time spent indoors - I slowly lost track of my story, my writing in general, and my characters until they drifted into the dusty corners of my imagination, having made room for boys and friends and fashion and make-up, until they were no more than a memory and a few fuzzy faces.
I lost track of a lot of things during this time in my life, my writing included. That's the nature of that age though, so I don't necessarily regret it. I miss the friends I made, I miss the awkward, young confidence of someone who had never been told "no", I miss that age where I felt there were years ahead of me and years behind me and I had the world all figured out and under my belt. However, all these things - my friends, aspects of my young and naive mind, my feeling of invincibility - they all left slowly and without any sort of massive explosion or goodbye banner waving in the wind. I just one day woke up and realized it had all changed. And that was okay.
FAST FORWARD! So, three heartbreaks at the hands of boys, a couple heartbreaks of my own doing, and multiple heartbreaks that belonged to the world, a trans-Atlantic move, and then another trans-Atlantic move back, a separation, a divorce, the loss of some friends, the gaining of many others, the realization of my passion and the trial that was middle and high school later, my old idea, the one that I had thought about periodically but had all but just given up on, hits me in the face.
Literally. It hit me in the face.
Well, technically, I hit myself in the face, but my story was the cause.
....
Okay I can't not tell this story hang on segway here we go.
One day during all of the aforementioned events that briefly described my teenage years, for no apparent reason at all, I found myself thinking of my story and wondering where all of my characters had gone off too. I started with the mains and worked my way out, gradually remembering more and more details as it went along and I surprised myself with how quickly it came back to me. I mean, it was a huge part of my life but I hadn't sat there and nursed it in almost 6 years. I was doing great until one character popped into my head and I couldn't remember his name. It drove me crazy but I was drawing a blank and I had to just let it go and move on for the time being. Then, a few days later, I was half leaning, half swaying on my door frame in my room, listening to my iPod - I would lean against it then hold on with my fingertips and lean away, then lean back, etc. etc. When suddenly, with no warning whatsoever, the name pops into my head! Matthias! I audibly inhaled and in my surprise I let go of the door and bashed myself in the face.
True story.
But after that, not only did I start remembering my story, I went back to it and I started to come up with new ideas and make new connections and make decisions that I wasn't sure about before. My acquired ignorance when I stepped back into that world made it so much much easier to create new plots and carry on with the idea, not necessarily where I had backed myself into a corner.
SO NOW here I am. I have begun to write it again, and this time I actually know where it is headed. And it's pretty amazing, if I do say so myself.
On top of that I am also going through my deviations and everything else and cleaning out all of the pre-2010 slang and good god I'm ashamed lol.
For all of you that are still here and remember and have stuck around, thank you for your support and for waiting. For any newcomers, I hope you like it.

....now if I can remember what the heck we were actually talking about...
I only check this thing like once a month nowadays. Simply because I haven't had any time, or any creative "juice". I think its been sucked out of me with someone that has a very interesting straw.... whoever it is.. I have a few suspects O.o
ACK! Why are See's chocolates sooo good?

Gosh I know. I can't seem to even make myself write or draw without instruction anymore. You and me both. The amount of drama going on at my school and with my cousins is un-be-lie-vabbb-le, then of course just life in general.
Aw man, they're addicting. Just not right now cuz i have none xD
