I hate starting over. I hate new pieces of paper, I hate new blogs, I hate new classes and new schedules and new people. I'm just bad with starting over, reinventing myself and all that. Which is weird considering that's all I want to do. Because I don't know who I am--however awfully cliche that sounds, it's true. So, whatever; here I am. Hi, I'm Indy--as in Indiana. That's not my name, but that's what you can call me. I'm nineteen years old and I've been living in the same town in California for, in less than two weeks, two decades. I won't get into that now because this is a blog introduction, not an autobiography. I think the most important thing I can tell you is that I'm a writer. I have more novels started than I could count on my fingers and toes. I have a dozen or so short stories. My biggest focus currently is Red Riding Hood--girl gets stuck in twisted fairy tale world, mix Narnia and Grimm. I'm in the first--of many--revision process, and I'm hoping to get it published...eventually. I will die happy if it gets turned into a movie--because it was originally a screenplay. I have no major at my pathetic community college, so I need fame. Need it. I'm a hopeless romantic. And will always be disappointed. I want to fall in love like a car crash. I want desperately to have a reason to get an epic Halloween costume. I'm a Christian, but I won't shove God down your throat and I don't have the same opinions as every other religious person. I'm a movie watcher. I love the magic of films, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. For serious. There are very few movies that I didn't enjoy: Garden State, A Clockwork Orange (they did an amazing job, it was just...unpleasant), Le Mans, Forrest Gump--oh blah blah, shoot me. I procrastinate, therefore, I have chronic late fees at the library. I'm obsessed with River Phoenix. I name everything. I have a zine. I love deviled eggs and We Are Scientists. And I hope this friendship of ours will stand the tests of time and everything. Cheers. -Indy
