Do I have to go through all that "My name is..." crap? I don't want to lest I
sound lame but it's not really fair to you if you don't know me, right?
Anyway, I like my name, Islinda, because my parents simply plucked it from the
air instead ofnaming me after a wrinkled relative. I'm 18 now and having a so-so time with
my adolescence. You know what I mean, it feels great sometimes and it sucks sometimes.
I don't like using the word "sucks" because it makes me sound like I just walked
off the set of "Clueless" but I guess there really is no other word as apt, is there?
I have been turning to music for solace since I was young, and I've tried
my best to pick up some musical instruments. Right now, I'm fairly okay at
the drums, which is my main instrument, and I practise a lot on the piano and
guitar.
I also love reading and writing, but I try not to go around showing my work to
people because it makes me look like a schmuck. Also, it irritates
me when people try too hard to relate whatever I write to my own life.
Of course there are elements of every writer in their own work but if you're a
fellow writer, you'll understand how people read too deeply sometimes.
I think that's about it...or you'll start nodding off. You'll see more as you go along.
As a friend told me once, after I sent out a very revealing email, "You have no shame!"
But hey, this is the internet. Live and let live.
