Kaeru

Hey, I'm Kaeru. I've been writing for a very long time. I can't even remember when it actually started. I began with short stories, moved on to long stories(very few of which I finish), and just a little while ago I started writing poetry. Couldn't write any poetry worth anything a few months ago, and now I'm sorta proud of my writing. I mostly just put poetry up because I don't finish a lot of stories. I don't have the attention span to finish a lot of stuff.

Other than writing I also draw. Some pictures I really like and they get put up on Deviant Art here: www.turtledonut.deviantart.com and some pictures I don't like so they don't go up there. There are some pictures that are much to personal to me, they are literally a piece of me and I don't think I could bear to show people that piece. I mostly draw people, girls specifically, but once in a while I feel the need to draw something different. Some pictures get coloured and some do not. Pictures with backgrounds usually have a story in them, pictures without backgrounds are pretty random.

As for me? I'm sixteen, but look twelve. It makes it easy to get into places like the fair for free, but harder to get into higher rated things, like movies. I have bright orange hair and very dark brown eyes. I wear glasses, most of the time as I can become blind without them(not literally!). My skin is very pale and in some places you can see the veins clearly. I guess thats kinda gross but it shows personality and makes my skin green once in a while(my favourite colour xD). I have scars on my hands and arms and legs because I'm not very sturdy on my feet and I'm proud of those scars. They mean that I have been living, not just sitting around my whole life, worry about every little thing.

I am a very energetic person. I talk a LOT and sometimes I guess I overtalk. I am very determined in everything I do that I will do it myself without other people's help, I am quite persistant and stubborn. If I don't get my way I will find some other way to get it. I guess you could say I have a redhead's temper(seeing as I am one) but I've been trying to keep that under control lately. I don't have a lot of patience, or much of an attention span.

The thing I love the most in the world is my friends. They are the ones that make me happiest and I don't think I could live without them. They care a lot about me(but I care more for them ^^), listen to me(most of the time, sometimes it's hard to keep up), and give me the love and attention I need(again, most of the time since I am such a handful). I am so very thankful to them for everything and I love them. I know I'm mean to them sometimes(I make fun of them, do some minor mean things, etc.) but I still make up for it later. I love them more than they know I think.

I love my family. I am the oldest. I have one younger sister, Emily, and two younger brothers, Patrick and Mathew. First thing you I think you should know: my younger brother, Patrick, is autistic. It is a mental disorder and it has brought a lot of things into this family. 1: stress. It is very tough to live with someone who doesn't talk much, has trouble with normal things in life, and has behavoural problems. 2: love. Because it is so hard to live with someone like him you learn how to love those around you, even with their flaws. My sister can be a pain in the butt sometimes. I guess I really do love her(even if I don't want to admit it). We're not entirely close but I think we halfway understand each other. Mathew is the youngest. Him and Emily fight a lot. It's really annoying when you come home and hear them arguing all night. He's a good kid though overall. My mom and dad are two of the strongest, most caring people I know. They have put up with us for sixteen years(okay, not all of us) and they still have some part of their sanity(maybe). This is the family that made me who I am.

I will try to read your requests if you send them. I am sorry if I don't read them. I don't like reading books or longer stories(attention span!) and there are a few genres I don't really like. So I am sorry if I don't. I will however, be your friend, and talk to you whenever you want(that is, if I'm online). I love talking, and I think I've been talking about me for too long already. So message me if you want. Thanks for reading this whole thing. If you made it to the bottom here's a hero cookie for you! -hands over a hero cookie- Now go off to do something more interesting!
