I an inde. I dye my hair auburn. I'm going down, I'm going down hard and I'm probably going to die by my own hand. And that's okay. I know what I have to do. I just hope it doesn't hurt me too much.

In theory, my blog is a place where I am posting essays regularly to work on my writing and get some criticism. But I'm not too regular about essays for this blog. A long while ago I posted a blog that I didn't even fully agree with in a style intended to get a reaction from people. It worked so much better than I intended it was a little weird. That was my slightly infamous post about what I call "Pseudo-Advice." You can find it here > http://www.xanga.com/FoliageDecay/591662316/item.html If you read the beginnings of this blog you will find the dungeon for a twenty-year-old's negative thoughts. But in the years since I first joined Xanga I have moved on to only occasional complaining here. :-) Eventually I might make a list of links to all my actual essays I posted. ANY and ALL criticism of my blog it's content and my person is invited on this blog! However, in person you should be more careful. ;-)
