# About me
Let's talk about writers. I emagine you've heard a lot about us: that we're eccentric, overly-theatrical, romantic smart-asses who are at any time a hair's breadth from insanity. There is some truth to those assumptions, but as you'll learn when you try to pigeon-hole people, not everyone fits every stereotype. I, for example, am not very theatrical at all. I'm equally as realistic and fatalistic as I am a romantic, and my humor ranges from sarcasticly biting to downright hostile. And as for the insanity? I'd like to explain that it is not a character trait; it's the result of having dozens of different personalities and possibilities bouncing off the walls of your skull, without any respite, even in sleep. Characters you are emotionally ATTACHED to enduring horrible tribulations and bittersweet happiness at your own hand. You are their god, and their slave. And there is no OFF button. Homework, social lives and sleep all take a backseat to the deep compulsion that grips you when the need to write rears its head. It IS madness. And then having to look at those around you and realize that they don't have that chaos running rampant inside their heads? You WONDER why we have people issues.Well, now that you understand what it means to be a writer, I'll tell you a little bit about what it means to be me. I have extremely high standards, especially when it comes to men. I also apply those same expectations to myself, and am defintitely my own greatest critic. I am intensely loyal to my friends, and I would fight dragons, popular girls, and every boy on the planet to keep them safe. I could do things for their sake I'd never dream of being able to do for myself. My excess of imagination is both a wonderful gift and a debilitating curse. I am a former optimist, now a devout pessimist, at least in regards to the big picture of life. I don't believe in fate or any of the dieties (and yes, that includes the plainly named Christian 'God'). I adore words, African wildlife, novels, music, and art. I keep an iron wall around me and my heart, and plan to keep it there for a very long time. I hate the sun, and have to consistently explain to people who don't know the definition of 'ablino' that no, I do not fit the criteria. There is infact a difference between having little pigment in your skin and having none whatsoever. I am inspired by everything, and pursue knowledge like an addict pursues their chosen narcotic. I have a deep-rooted tendency to avoid pain of any sort. I roll my eyes a lot, probably more than anyone else you've ever met. My philosopy in life is to try to enjoy what happiness you find, to do as little harm as possible, to not focus on regret, and to try and leave the world somehow better for you having been in it. Even if it was just to make someone a little wiser, or to cheer up someone who needed cheering. I would vrey likely die without chocolate.
Life is a hell of a thing to happen to a person. So give it hell right back - every chance you get.
Current Residence: California, which contrary to public opinion is not always sunny, and not as overflowing with free thinkers as I'd like, though I shudder to think what the rest of this country is like if we're considered the most progressive.
Favourite genre of music: Classic Rock, Easy Listening, Country, Movie Soundtracks, the last generation's music . . . ours is not nearly so impressive
Favourite photographer: Alnour
Personal Quote: Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Dawn and Indy and Will baby yes PLEASE.
Hmm, I'll have to look into this app when I get home. I'm in Spain right now, and when I get back I start college at UC Santa Cruz. Kinda scared but I hope it'll be alright. What have you been up to?

DAMN. Sorry. *wince*Β The only thing I check often is my gmail account, angelasdawn47. I'm going to try to make one of those thumblr accounts. Will those send notifications to my email or do I log onto the site to check them?
Merry Christmas, m'dear!! I love you <3

It'll send notifications to your gmail--but I'm not sure if it notifies you of messages. I'd check just in case.Β
Happy Holidays, love! Love you too, more than I could ever scream. <3

*sigh* the silly thing still hasn't sent me the thing to my email account where I say that yes, in fact, that is my email account. And I've clicked resend like 8 times. Blech. *rolls eyes* I'll keep messing with it though, hopefully it straightens out.
Just so you know, from what I've seen on your tumblr alone I practically ship those two you like so well now, and I still never even finished the teen wolf tv series. You make them so cute

I'm still on my Sherlock kick and it doesn't look like it will go away anytime soon. How's your long weekend going?

Mine's going well love! *sorry for late reply, since this is basically 2 hours from when said weekend will be over*
Isn't that just the best quote?
How are you doing?

Hah, it's alright. I'm glad you had a good weekend, cherie.
I really do love it. Its just as fabulous as "I blog about it and he forgets his pants." And "Shut up. -I didn't say anything- You were thinking. It's annoying."
I really am deep in this fandom- There is no going back for the lovely moi.
I'm quite alright. I was really lazy this weekend. It annoys me. I want to get up and do something, but there's nothing to do

That's pretty much how I feel about Hetalia. The effects of fandoms can be irrevocable. Ah well - just go with it
So do you plan to write anything for the fandom? Seeing as the role-playersΒ are disappointing you.
