I've been writing Fanfics for years, since Middle school. However, I just recently decided to actually register with fanfiction.net. Most of my writing has one way or another just up and vanished. Most of it is written on paper stored under my bed or lost when my last laptop fried, 3 years ago. After I lost all of it I was so furious and heartbroken I just quit all together. What I do still have for public display can be found on deviantart under Wvseashell. At some point I will begin to transfer everything on to this account but in the mean time I would rather finish my current project and post them all together.

Now, about me personally.

I'd prefer to use my pen-name Alley, not even close to my real name. I live in the U.S. I have two cats. I mean a cat and a dog that thinks she is a cat. I spend most of my time either working or playing video games, specifically sci-fi games like Assassin's Creed to Mass Effect and Halo. Boarderlands could be thrown in there too, somewhere. I have a weakness for coffee and Oreos. Most of all I love sand and sun, forget the surf; I manage to get hurt every time I swim.

I took 2 years of Japanese in High school and didn't retain a thing, so I'm now considering Arabic, probably Egyptian. I'm studying International Government in hopes of someday working with the UNHCR, The UN Refugee Agency. Some quotes I live by are "No one can make me do anything," My grandfather. That was his answer when my dad asked him why he volunteered for the Vietnam War, after he already received a draft card. "Never stop learning, That is when you start dying," My great uncle to my grandmother, when she decided to get a Bachelors at 73.

Alrightie!! About my personal writing habits. I prefer 3rd person limited. I like to express emotion by physical appearance. Probably because I personally feel I am not very good at verbally expressing myself. However, my friends seem to think I always know just what to say, even if I choose to say the wrong thing. (sometimes people need a good kick in the teeth. So, then is it really the wrong thing to say, or just a wake up call?)

BIG NEWS!!

I was told yesterday that I will become a permanent employee for Target. This is a huge deal for me because now I don't have to worry so much about how I am going to pay for school after January. I was hired as seasonal and guaranteed 90 days, it was less than 50 days, when I was told. I am super excited, I love working there, my coworkers a great and the integrity of the store is amazing. (Unlike another store who I firmly believe is Templar own. I boycott it also, for moral reasons. So, I guess that means Target is Assassin owned.)
