About me:
First off, for anyone reading this as a result of my having sent you a Friend request: assume I did so because I actually did read your profile - either here or someplace else - and think you're cool. I never, EVER spam. Scout's honour.
Anyway. Back to me. I'm 25 years old (my birthday being August 7th - buy me stuff! I demand it!), and a struggling writer. Having garnered a small cult following after putting up some of my short stories at FictionPress, I decided, drunk with power, to start a MySpace page in an effort to get the word out about my work/keep any fans I might have out there up to speed with what I'm doing lately/alienate a whole lot of people/command members of that cult I mentioned to go forth and destroy my enemies.
THRILL to the news of my finally scraping up enough courage to submit work for publication! GASP IN AWE at how long it takes me to write one damn novel! SHIVER in ANTICI...PATION, when I tell you about a short story I've finally written after months of kicking it around in my head! FEEL APATHETIC when I try to plug that one small-press anthology my short story, "Christobel", appeared in, that nobody actually read! Enter - MY WORLD...

Who I'd like to meet:
Publishers, other writers, anyone interesting, and the kind of mad scientist who can pull off spectacles, a blood-stained lab coat, and statements like "They all thought I was MAD back at the Academy!" in a suitably understated fashion. Whilst operating a doomsday device.
