PERTINENT INFORMATION:

Good grief, where to start...

I'm incredibly, elaborately imaginative. I spend 90 percent of every day thinking and LARP'ing and this probably leads to a lot of the trouble I get in because, apparently, people don't like to be thought about more than they think about you. Maybe they think it's unfair or casts them in a bad light.

Too damned bad. Anyway, I'm quite happily from Michigan -- Detroit, at the moment, though I'd like to live in Ann Arbor. If I can walk around lost at four am in the cold and not have a bad memory about it, then I think that's the place I'd love to live. My other choice is Brooklyn, New York, but I haven't exactly decided.

For now, I'm focusing on recovering from recent brain surgery and trying to get my academic life back on track so that I can get through undergraduate school and finally make it to medical school before, hopefully, doing a fellowship in pathology and becoming a forensic pathologist.

I'd love to work full-time in a medical examiner's office either here in Michigan or in New York. Medicine, in general, though, has been a passion of mine since I was a child though I did commit the grave error of forgetting that fact once I reached high school.

Damned allure of screenwriting. If I could do both, I'd be in Purgatory. Heaven or Hell would mean I'm probably really dead and was either terribly good or awesomely bad, though given that I don't actually believe in the afterlife itself that'd be a little difficult to achieve.

I'm still figuring out the religion aspect of my life, but I find myself at home in both Catholicism and Judaism. Yes, they conflict. I've spoken with a Sister about this so I'm not that worried. I'm only interested in what feels right for me, not what the rest of the world thinks most of the time.

If I could get rid of the lingering insecurity about it, I'd feel a lot better, though.

I believe that'll come with time, however, so I suppose that'd make me an optimist. I feel like a cynic most of the time but my own beliefs and thoughts consistently bely that so I'm just going to go with it.

Whatever happens, happens. I'll get through it.

So, within the scope of WHAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED/IS TAKING SHAPE and what is being alluded to, what's something you think might happen? The reason I ask is that I need nudges to keep writing and keep my ideas going in a rational direction, I keep forgetting that about myself. Dialogue does that marvelously, however could I forget? Bad writer!
