So! To explain how the pen name - for all the writing that I apparently (do not) do - came to be. It is actually a combination of two nicknames I've been gracefully (or not) granted.

The "ninja" came from several instances in which, despite being nearly six foot tall (yikes!) and walking right beside them, people manage to lose track of me. Occasionally when speaking to me. It's sad.

The "camel" part started as a joke. I used to be part of a voluteer group called "Clown Therapy", in which you enact a clown-like personality (also dressed ridiculously, of course), visit children at hospitals and try to make their days a little better. We'd participate in informal acting lessons given by a professional actress, with a focus in improvisation and "trying to look at the world like a big, wonderful joke". One of our exercises was "translating" gibberish into whatever came to our minds. We'd be paired and given a scenario. Ours was "a camel lost in a city". Guess who played the camel. Apparently, I impersonated a camel so well it just stuck.

Now, a little bit about me. I appreciate good humour, a lot. I don't think there's enough laughter and smiles in the world. We could do with more kindness and compassion as well, but I guess it's one step at a time. I'm not usually the one making the jokes, however; instead, I'm the one laughing histerically in the corner.

I'm a college student. That should be self explanatory. :D
