I posted this in the add_a_ya comm a few months back, but decided to look here as well. =]

Name: Aleth {19}

About Me: I'm terrible when it comes to writing about myself, but somehow I manage. I often like to say things like 'Oh sigh' instead of actually sighing and occasionally I'll type out the weird noises I make when I'm tired, hungry, or exasperated. (ex. 'Auuuu', 'Guhhh', 'Mehhh') It probably sounds as dumb as it looks, but I don't know how else to describe it to you. I get pretty excited when I chat over AIM and I often barrage people with multiple faces and fragments of a single sentence if the conversation is engaging enough.

I Write: Fiction. I don't know how much more specific I can get than that, but I think it's mostly what teenage girls would read. My writing tends to lean towards drama, romance, and my style is to throw in a bit of humor whether it be a character or a circumstance. Basically, anything I or anyone can have fun with as either a reader or a writer. I also do a bit of fanfiction here and there, but I'm trying to move away from it.

I Don't Write: Mystery, Suspense, Horror. You know, any of those books with the intricate plots and underlying mysteries to be solved. I can't do them. Non-fiction is another thing I don't often associate with. Blah, not for me at all.

I Like To Read: I tend to go to Costco and browse whatever is on sale there for some randomly selected reads, but as I write I mostly pick up anything that falls in the fiction genre. Mainstream or literary. Young Adult books are nice for quick reads and romance novels are pretty crazy. I really, really liked horror novels when I was young, for some reason, but I like anything that catches my interest, really.

I Don't Read: Non-fiction. Boring, bland novels.

Favorite Authors: Off the top of my head, I liked a lot of Jane Austen's work, Gail Carson Levine, and Chuck Palahniuk. Aside from that asking for favorite authors is like asking for favorite bands. I like individual pieces more often than artists/authors themselves. I'm a literary drifter, going all over the place... but don't take that term too seriously because I just threw it in there since it sounded cool.

I'm Looking For: Anyone who would be interested in having another pal.

Other: I don't come off as too odd, do I? Come along and post on my Friends Only entry if I haven't scared you away~
