Hanson Fanfics:
This is most simply how
I feel about Hanson Fanfictions. I become obsessed with the ideas that
this love and passion woven into these stories is real.
I was so blind about what love really was. I thought it was just loving
someone so suddenly and completely that everything else in life would
fall into place. I read and read, seemingly not stopping until the end.
The
worst of the worst was the end. It was impossible to avoid. How could
these stories last forever? But if only they could…
At the end of the story,
the “finish” and the “back to
homepage” at the bottom of the page, I would realize that it wasn’t
anything. It was all made up. These fictions had captivated me so much
that I was believing them to be true. Taylor really was a vampire who fell
in
love with fans. Zac went after a fifteen year old whose sister he just
broke up with while trying to find himself in Oregon by a lake. Isaac wanted
more
out of his life than a mediocre job and a steady girlfriend while he fought
cancer.
As I read, I felt as
if I knew the characters. If I were to read how romantic Zac was, I’d
believe it. Taylor was just so sensitive about his life, and Ike wanted
to play like Jonny Lang. They weren’t true, but they
felt so real. I knew them as my favorite band because of what I read about
them, these lies made into such wonderful stories.
I’m currently re-discovering the band. Figuring out the meaning of
the music, what it means to be passionate about a lyric, and who the faces
are behind This Time Around. It’s like I knew, but I didn’t
know. You know?
It’s crazy to think
how I write these stories, and I believe in them so much, that I think
them sinful. They’re bad for the world sometimes.
Slashes and vampires and young love. It’s so crazy that maybe it’s
the truth sometimes. That maybe it doesn’t have to make sense to
make sense.
Me:
In truth, I can’t keep my mind from running away from me. I’ll
think up one idea, and start on it. I write until I figure out where I want
it to go. Then another idea pops into my head, and I start on that. Right
now, I have over ten unfinished hanfics waiting to be worked on. Some I’ve
turned into short stories because I feel like I’ll never have the time
for them. I also have ideas for books that aren’t about Hanson or
anyone like them.
I love to read. From
Perfect Girl to Anne Rice to Alice Hoffman, I read nonstop. All day during
school when I can afford to and at night usually leaving me
with five hours of sleep, I read books front to cover in a matter of days.
The whole thing started with Hanfics and it keeps growing. Harry Potter
was next, adding to my “stay at home and sit in my closet with a book” trend.
More recently, my sister bought me The Vampire Chronicles after I watched
the movies. I (heart) Lestat.
Music is my life. It rules me, motioning my every move through the day. It’s what I think about when I wake up, when I ride the bus, when I shuffle through the hallway, etc. I’m mainly into Alternative/Emo music. It depends on the sound and my mood, but I’m always up for a good band. (My latest infatuation: Rhett Miller. Check him out.) My favorite bands are (watch out there’s a lot):
.Moneen.

Wow, that was more
than I thought. The sad part is that those aren’t all of my favorite bands. I have
more. (Scary.)
Sometimes
I
feel
really
alone.
Somedays
I
stay
home
from
school
just
to
see
if
my
friends
will
call
after
school
and
ask
how
I
am.
They’re
too
wrapped
up
in
their
own
lives.
One
of
them
only
makes
more
drama
for
herself
to
get
the
attention.
Another
currently
has
a
controlling
boyfriend
and
won’t
listen
to
a
word
I
say
against
him.
The
other
doesn’t
really
care.
She
likes
anime
and
the
internet
and
watching
stupid
movies
with
no
meanings.
Those
are
my
three
best
friends
and
I
don’t
even
know
them
anymore.
I like listening to music,
writing, and dancing around my room while my shades are up so everyone
in the neighborhood can see. I currently can't do that though, because
my room is a DISASTER! I love being weird, doing things to see what people
say. Some people would
say
that
I like attention because of the things I do, but I disagree. I do them
because
being spontaneous and weird is being me. I like being me.
My favorite things to
do, hands down, is turn on my mini waterfall, light some insense, turn
on my purple Christmas lights, and lay in bed, thinking about what it’ll
be like in the future. I like thinking about the future. What I want
to
do and
what
I want to
be. What I want to define me.
I’m really wild. I like partying with friends and having a good time.
I like to smoke and drink with my best friend because we have so much fun.
I like having fun. It’s fun. LOL. My other two friends don’t
do, like, anything. Lana has never done anything in her life, and she doesn’t
plan on it. Laney has drank before, but I know that she doesn’t do
it regularly. Don’t take that word as a way of saying I’m an
alcoholic. I’m not. Only on weekends. ;)
I know what it’s like to want to be someone else. I wish that all the
time. Somedays all I want is for a wonderful guy to fall on my lap, even
literally, I don’t care what. I want to be someone pretty and loveable,
and all the feedback I get from my friends is that I’m annoying and
have too much time on my hands.
I live in a quiet, stupid
neighborhood of a small town in Kansas. It’s
so stupid and boring. I hate it here, and I desperately want to move to Pennsylvania.
From what I’ve heard, it’s fun there. Some of my favorite
bands are from Philidelphia. It sounds like a musical place.
I wish there was more
excitement in my life. That’s part of the reason
I write, because I can make up interesting things for these characters so
they don’t suffer the same fate as I do. Boredom.
My Writing:
My writing has changed
a lot since I began hanfics. At first I just wrote whatever I thought
of, no matter the past/present tense. Those were crap.
I’ve even gotten good feedback on them that they definitely don’t
deserve. I like the plotlines of the stories, but the writing sucked.
Destination Anywhere
is different. Kaylee (Typical Star) is my writing idol. She’s my
Yoda. She is the best author I’ve ever known. I’m trying
to write like her. I love how she does it. She mixes thoughts and feelings
with actions and songs. I love it and I’m trying so hard to change
my writings as to where it would fit what her readers think about her writing.
I want that kind of praise.
It’s hard to keep up my writing, because I get destracted sometimes
with other things, especially other ideas that just jump around my head.
It’s not really a fun thing to have, but I try to use it to my advantage.
My Plans:
My plans for the future of this site and for myself really differ.
This site will hopefully get around and I can have people praising
my writing like they praised Kaylee’s when she still
wrote. I’m also making
sure I keep my website working as efficiently as possible. I’ve
even gotten my friends to go onto it on their home computers to check
and see
if anything goes haywire. Everything’s working out so far. (But if
you find something that's not right, email me and tell me. I'd really like
to know!)
Plans for myself haven’t really taken off yet. I’m hoping to
move in with my dad when I’m 18 and live in Colorado. I’ll have
a job, and the money I’ll have saved over the years. That will pay
for the utilities and my internet and hopefully, a laptop.
See, my dad doesn’t have to pay rent on the house he lives in because it belongs to a very nice cousin of his. Anyway, I’m going to live in his attic with a wireless connection and update my site then.
At least, that’s my plan. And I’m hoping nothing changes too
drastically to mess all those plans up.
My Photography:
My photos mean a lot to me. Usually, I don't take hundreds of pictures, but sometimes I just get an idea and I have to follow through with it before I forget. This is one of those instances:
But I think the most important part of photography is making sure you see yourself in every photograph, especially when you're the one in that picture. This is me, picture taken by me:
Well, that's one of me and one of my favorite pictures. Just thought I'd add something about photography, since it's one of my many passions.
