hindermost Now you know. I play waterpolo for my high school and in the off-season I swim and play club. I have a snake named Hector, who I named after the hero in The Iliad; a beta (or is it betta?) fish named Chancho, who enjoys swimming repeatedly into the side of his bowl; and a guinea pig named...well, she doesn't really have a name. She does get very excited over strawberries, though. Any day above 75 degrees is a hot day, and I live in beautiful and scenic Corona, southern California (which is nothing but desert and mountains, before you ask), so most of the year is 'hot.' I am currently a sophomore in high school and I plan to be a mortician. I enjoy Your Mother jokes, felt-tipped pens, and sarcasm. As far as my membership on this site goes, you probably won't see a whole lot of work out of me. I am passionate about reading any piece of prose (I am not a big fan of poetry), and I don't mind writing research papers and essays and the like, but I don't have the will nor the attention span to write any story worth reading. I do believe in constructive criticism, which is why I signed up for this site. You will never see me say "your story is absolutely horrible and if you're smart you will never write ever again." Likewise, on the off-chance I do decide to upload a verbal doodle, I'd appreciate you keeping anything akin to that to yourself. I'm willing to receive and utilize criticism, but no one wants to be told they suck. I will be on here sporadically; waterpolo season trails directly into swim season, which trails directly into summertime practice and club sessions. Due to problems involving my knees and hips, I occasionally have to take a week or so off to ensure I don't do my body any further damage, and you'll see me around the most then. Don't be afraid to talk to me; I am generally an okay person. |
