The Death of a Writer
Someone asked me, although right now I can't remember who, why I keep a Blog. It got me into thinking, of course. And these are the answers I came up with.
I keep a Blog because sometimes no one listens, or rather, no one hears. I then write everything here in an attempt to reach someone, anyone, and make them hear.
The death of a writer happens when no one hears and reads. My blog is an attempt to "
publish" my work and have people swim in my thoughts even for just a minute. I am, after all, a self-declared writer and no writer wants to die unheard and unread.
Another reason I keep a Blog, although this one is pretty minor, is this: I have nothing else to do right now, since it's summer vacation and all. If you take a look at my archives, most of my entries are written during long breaks. I guess that's when I have enough time to think about what I want to write here. I guess that's also the time things worth writing about actually happen to me.
I think whoever asked me that was thinking about getting a Blog, too. I guess s/he was just trying to find valid reason/s to keep a Blog. Well, a lot of people keep Blogs and their reasons vary. If you're reading this, I suggest that you do get one, and "
Don't think. Just write." ~Findiing Forrester

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.Draw and paint.Learn how to play Sudoku.- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
