Hello world, I am a writer.

When people ask me what my major is, I used to be tempted to lie every time and say that I'm going for an engineering degree, or a pre law degree. I am studying English and Creative Writing at UCF, and you know something? I love it.
If one more person looks at me and says, "Oh... so you want to teach then?" I might be tempted to throw a large book at them. Because of my major, people scrutinize my grammar (at which I have never excelled), question what on earth I can do besides teach, and shake their heads at me when they can't understand my poetry. But I love what I do, and that's all that matters. I'm using the gift that God has given me, and I have never been happier =]
For anyone still wondering, I do not want to teach. I have no idea what I want to do... but I will not be standing before a class diagramming sentences for the rest of my post-college life. Not that there is anything wrong with doing that, it's just not who I am.
So, to everyone who ever cared to read Dickens for pleasure or Oscar Wilde for a laugh, this is me.
I am a writer. I don't always make sense, my grammar can be atrocious, and I write straight from my heart. But one thing that my words will never be, is boring. My poems like to rhyme, and so do my stories.
And so, dear readers, I hope that you will be entertained. Don't worry about meaning, it is what it is. Just let the words flow and twist and come alive.

And that's all she wrote
