I love books, and I love to read. I always have. I also have a great interest in writing, and am a written communications major. One day, I'd like to have some books published, but I haven't decided if that's what I want to do as a primary career or not. I'd love to write and illustrate children's books, particularly. I love being transported to other worlds and really appreciate a book that makes me think about new things. I have come to love books of many genres, but hold a particular fondness for scary stories. Scroll below to see what I'm reading these days...

Okay, so my first choice of some of my own writing, may seem a bit strange, but remember for a moment where you are... and you'll understand better. A fun tidbit of info. While creating the page that contains my poem, I learned that a pez convention was being held in Cleveland, Ohio that very weekend, started, in fact, on the very day I read about it. Weird huh? So, I dragged my boyfriend with me, and he spent just as much money on himself as I did. :) He came away with his own pez collection, and walked away scratching his head, wondering how that had happened...he he he...pez rocks! and so does my poem...so read it now. I got an A on this poem, in my 11th grade English class. :)

I need to update this so desperately... sorry. I've since completed the book I was working on at the time this was last updated, and SO MANY others... Angels and Demons, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Harry Potter year 6, Alice in Wonderland, A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Golden Compass, and I'm sure there are more I've forgotten about. Cureently, I am reading the Hobbit.

Last completed book: Geek Love by Katherine Dunn

This had to be the most twisted, unique, crazy book I've ever read in my life,... and I've read a lot of books. It's told from the perspective of this Albino hunchback woman, who used to travel around the country with her carnival family. The children were all "designed" by their father, whom mixed up drug concoctions for their mother while she was pregnant, in hopes of creating a side show of his very own, which he succeeded at. The results included conjoined twin sisters, a boy with flipper-like appendages, telekinetic boy, and several others that did not survive long, but were kept in jars and put on display as well.

The book is shocking, and left me turning pages for hours, in awe. Beware the dreams that follow reading this before bed...but, I totally reckomend it to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.

Current read: Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs

Okay, so after my last book, I didn't think anything could be shockable, but this autobiographic memoir is so, mostly, because its a true story. The author was adopted by him mother's psychiatrist, who seems just as crazy as his patients. I am over half way thru it, and although it is grotesque in its candor at times, I find it fascinating. The boy has to live in this disgusting dirty house with the psychiatrist's family, and ...well, I don't want to give too much away... To get out of going to school for a few months, the doctor suggests the boy be committed to a mental hospital, which would act as a vacation for the kid. I find myself laughing out loud reading this one, I'll update when it's completed.
