Why, hello.

It looks as though you have had the good fortune of finding this profile page. I can't happen to promise you treasures beyond belief, true happiness or enlightenment.

What I can promise you, however, is an interesting way to burn five minutes of your life. (Not that I recommend that)

And so, to reward your fact-searching eyes, here is a bit about myself.

I happen to be an odd little person moving through the universe and exploring what it means to be alive. I make many, many mistakes as I go, and am about as certain of my future as I am of what the string theory is really implying.

Here is a warning that I should give you straight away-I have a tendency to bite off more than I can chew. And to quickly lose interest in things. Never really understood why, but it is unimaginably difficult for me to complete a single novel on my own. Short stories and poems are much different. I also have a knack for being impossibly slow sometimes and just a bit arachnophobic.

Don't be surprised if ever I sound unsure about something-I spend all of my spare time mulling over things and thinking, thinking endlessly and of the most bizarre, unrelated things. The more I think of them, coincidentally, the less I am sure of what I think of them.

I believe strongly in equal rights for all of the people of the world-no matter their gender, colour, caste, thoughts, beliefs, or anything else that separates one from another. In saying that I also think that there is such thing as being over-lenient in punishments for certain criminals (a story for another time).

Many of my stories on this site have been wrongfully neglected by me; I hope to revive some of them and (hopefully) complete them on a high note, if only for the feeling of having finished something.

I can also be amazingly lazy and am a repeat offender when it comes to procrastinating. I have probably already become infamous for some of my incredibly-long time frames for writing in collaborative pieces.

My life has been rather turbulent at times, and I am currently fighting a variety of negative influences from throwing me into the depths of depression, which (I am sad to say) have been experienced by me quite a few times.

If I found the proverbial 'genie in a lamp' my three wishes would be simple. Family, health and happiness.

***
Quick facts about me:

I have shoulder-length dark brown hair and eyes the same colour (so dark they look black sometimes)
I'm 5'7, and proud of it
My first name translates roughly to 'light of the eyes'
I am extremely competitive
My ultimate dream is to publish a book, just to know that my ideas and hard work are out there in the world
I am also a totally hopeless romantic (and a Libra)
Sometimes I experience bouts of insomnia because of sudden inspiration
I don't do 'bios' very well...
The smell of money, books and ink are some of my favourites $$
Ask me anything! Really!

And so, I bid you adieu. Perhaps we will meet again. :)
