About Me

  • About Me: I'm nineteen years old and I live in Virginia (I wish I lived somewhere else...mainly Ireland or Scotland....i love those accents....). I lived in Gries, Germany (near Ramstein AFB) for three years. I really miss Germany and all the friends that I met while I lived there (Most of them don't live there anymore). I love to travel and I've been to thirty-two countries (yipee!). Most of my friends believe that I am a very cynical person...hence my user name...I really like writing, whether it is poetry or short stories...I hope to write a novel someday...
