Charlie Twist

Stained brown from regular outings, my feet sway back and forth to the rythm of the porch swing as I sit there comfortably, just reading. Out doors, away from the walls and shadows of inside the house, a breeze wafting my hair away from my hot and sticky face, a fly tickling my nose, old Mr. Gonzales on his daily walk with his halting gait and old dog, I feel a certain wildness that can't reach me as I sit at a desk. And while suburban California hardly fits anyones idea of a lush and primitive timberland (well, most people) just to have the sunlight falling on my face, freckling my nose, makes it easier to feel alive.
Brown eyes, flecked golden orange in the sun, glance up from the words I read upon the page. The book. The authors thoughts. The world I am immersed in.

Besides reading though, I'm a very active 18 year old who loves to surf or play basketball with my brother and his friends in the precious spare time I aquire. Jesus Christ and reading the Bible is really important to me. In the future I would like to go into journalism.

I am an essayist and writer.
Pleased to meet you :) All will know me as a Miss Charlie Twist.

P.S. And if you think my real name is Charlie Twist....
get real ;)
