Lemons:

Nope. I don't write 'em. Why? Well, I dunno about you, but I don't particularly feel like getting myself or my stuff banned from FanFiction. If ethics weren't enough, that should be.

Fandoms:

Too lazy to list 'em. But if you play TF2, feel free to add me on Steam.

Music:

Uh... I like Valve's music? I listen mostly to what other people are playing, to be honest. I do love Yellow by Coldplay, though.

About Me:

I love to think. Physically speaking, I can't do much. I once fractured my humerus (arm bone connecting the elbow to the shoulder) rolling over in bed. In hindsight, it was rather humorous. If I kicked a ball, it would either go behind me or several yards/meters to the side. My family gets injured hecka easily, so it's not just me "not exercising". I have to do light excercise if I want to walk.

But in my mind, it's my domain. I'm strong there. No one has been able to rightfully say I suck as much as I do with anything physical. That's not to say I can't be an idiot, because believe me, I can.

I love gaming. I have a beast PC, too.

I can read people pretty well based on what they say. It's kinda creepy. I can psychoanalyze, but I have never been educated in psychology. One of my sisters has, but I haven't discussed anything outside of psychopathy with her.

I can be kinda arrogant at times, I think. If I am, please tell me, 'cause I'd like to correct it as much as you would. Also, if I'm breaking social boundaries, tell me. I have ADHD, so chances are that I won't realize it.

I'm also younger than some people think I'd be. Why? I dunno. Most of my peers don't think about the things I do. Like the meaning of life? It's to live and preserve the species. Most people who ask that really just want to know what their purpose is, but only the individual can answer that question, for their answer only pertains to them. See? Who the heck thinks about such conundrums at fifteen? Weird people. Very weird people.

Writing Style:

I blend dialects. Deal with it.

I understand grammar really well. Even if I don't know a rule, I seem to follow it by instinct. Not all of them, but many of 'em. While I understand the rules of punctuation, I tend to, erm...bend them. Mostly with commas. I'll also invent a word sometimes. If Shakespeare did it, you can't say anything bad about me, can you?

I use specific dialects in dialogue. For example, a guy with a British accent will be using the UK dialect, and a North American character will have their respective dialect as well.

Text talk? Kinda. I treat my private messages and such as dialogue (excluding said dialect thing).

I like to include symbolism and messages involving the human experience in my works.

My chapters are hecka short. I try to make 'em at least 1,000 words. I've never gotten to 3k, and my shortest chapter was around 500. I'm working on improving this, or to at least get to the 1-5k word range.

Device:

I use an iPhone. It's difficult, yet it's easier. Auto-correct is my nemesis and my best friend. It's a love/hate relationship.

Reviews:

I'm the guy who gives constructive criticism. I'm probably wrong sometimes. I also probably can come across with a "greater than thou" tone, so I apologize if I do. I am often late to the party and review before reading the whole thing. It allows me to review chapters specifically. I've started leaving notes saying that the critique may not be applicable in later content. I also leave a ton of them, so if you see a blurb of my reviews, sorry. I should probably just do one long review at the end. I keep telling myself that. Wonder if I'll ever listen.

Motivation:

I joined this site by recommendation from one of my sisters, but I also joined for my love of literature and lack of closure from the Inheritance Cycle. I also saw how few people understand grammar, and I aim to provide a more readable story, as well as being as accurate as possible. I've probably broken, or will break, that commitment.

Speaking of motivation, I need that to write. Because I have ADHD, if I'm not interested in something, I can't focus. Instant writer's block!

Family and Life:

I'm really close with my family. Most people my age that I talk to have abusive or dysfunctional parents, literally hate their siblings, or just keep arguing with their loved ones, but my family? We love each other. I have two sisters, both older than me, parents with a healthy and adorable relationship, a half-sister and her husband, my half-sister's adoptive parents, a great aunt, and the list goes on.

People look at that when I say I haven't had the most pleasant life and go, "Eagle, you can't say that! You have a functional family; obviously your life is grand!"

My life, like every other human being's, has not been unicorns and rainbows. If I didn't have my family to lean on, I would not have made it through the hardships.

Is my life better than others'? Certainly. Is it the best? Doubt it. I've decided not to compare myself to what I don't know about.

Philosophy:

There are few things I'd like to touch on that society doesn't seem to know. More particularly, I'd like to explain what love is.

There's no such thing as "love at first sight." There's attraction, hormones, infatuation, but love? I cannot tell you how many people I've seen screw themselves over emotionally because they thought a two-week relationship was love.

Love, true love, is founded from companionship and maintained by relationship.

Your hormones, the amount that you are attracted to someone, can change every day. You could wake up one day and not feel for your wife like you did as a teen. Even if this doesn't happen randomly for a long time, there are three major hormonal changes you will go through in life: puberty, when you hit middle age, and when you become a senior.

Misc.

For all of you other math nerds out there, I just came up with this when I was bored:

If f(n)=f(n-1) plus 9*10 caret (n-1), and f(1)=9, then f(infinity) is the largest number, and f(infinity)*-1 is the smallest. Basically, it's 999,999,999,999,999… I had some arithmetic and real symbols, but this format doesn't support it, and it even deleted characters that it did, so yeah, it butchered the equations.

Also, the number closest to zero is 1*10 to the negative infinity. Since you will literally never stop writing it out unless it's in a simplified form (like scientific notation), it's not written out.

So, now that you've wasted your time reading my profile, go enjoy a fanfic! It's what you're here for, isn't it?

Sorry for being on hiatus longer than expected. The tendon for my thumb started acting up due to my being on crutches since March. But I'm back now!

I do have another problem. I'm out of inspiration. I'm hoping you lovely people could help with that. Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated!
