Dear Diary-

Oops, I mean...

Dear random people who may or may not be reading this,

No, that's no good.

Here we go:

Introducing the one and only, M.L. Groves who usually houses herself upon the realms of D.A. but has decided to begin anew! I give you- me!

Now, enough with me being sleep-deprived and silly. Let's start with the point of this shall we? I usually post most of anything I do on Deviantart, but after being invited here by a friend of mine- Nana- I decided that while I'm here, I can perhaps try to turn a new leaf. I'd say, I want to be more "professional," but I'm not entirely sure what that would entail in my work, so I guess we'll just I'm going to be "clean and complete" for once instead. Usually I just do sketches for fun, but now if I do anything, I'm going to make sure they are cleaned up before making an appearance.

However, I'm a writer, first and foremost. So I've already organized my folders to make room for many stories and novels that I'm currently working on and outlining. The actual stories many never end up here, as I do hope to publish them some day, but anything prompt-like, or a short idea for each one may end up here eventually. If I decide that I don't even want that to appear, then I'll take down some of the folders and just leave off with any other random idea that pops into my brain.

Trust me, I get a lot to write about, even if I don't plan on trying to send them off to a publisher. With the amount of stuff that clogs up my brain, sending it here will be just what I need to clear my mind out.

I don't plan on putting anything related to fan-art or fanfiction on here. It's all just going to be my original work and eventually, I hope to start up trades with others or even a few requests. I don't think I'm good enough with drawing to ask for commissions and I'm not crafty enough to make things for others- but if there's anything you'd like written just speak with me sometime and I'll see what I can do.

I suppose that's everything important- maybe I'll post something more personal next time. Or not, I suck at being personal.

Scribe Out.

    Aw, it ok, I'm pretty terrible at being personal too (Probably why I don't have too many friends around... x3) but I'd like to get to know more about you, you seem like a cool person! :D

      Thanks for thinking so! I do try. :P Though you seem personal enough to me, though it can be a little hard to make friends sometime, especially when online.

        Haha, really?

        I get my unsociable nature from my mom (Wish I got my dad's genes in that area, he's just the best at talking to people), but I've been making an effort to try and be better at communicating with people, so I'm glad that I'm making some sort of improvement! xD

        You can say that again!

        I don't really have any friends in real life, and I only have acquaintances online. I find that while conversing online not only do you have to worry about people losing interest with your conversations and just not even replying, but also not even wanting to talk to you for fear you're a stalker or something. Its also sort of hard to form and cement a relationship, platonic or otherwise, with someone when you can't see their face; not impossible, because I met my mate online, but much harder. I guess its a psychological thing...

          Oddly enough.. I get my unsociable nature from my Dad. No only that, but face to face is hard too because I also look like him. (...Well, I don't look like a guy, of course.) I have this tiny little mouth that always looks like I'm frowning even when I'm just staring blankly into space so everyone always thinks I'm mad or something. It gets really difficult if I'm not paying attention enough to make it look like I'm smiling instead. Heck, half the time I "feel" like I'm smiling, I'm actually not. It's plain weird. Whereas online, it's as you said, people either think you're a predator, or they lose interest really easy or some other reason I can hardly think of.

          Though, when I first ever learned of how to use this thing we call the "world wide web" when I was way younger, I did manage to make a few friends on here through fanfiction.net. (...Oh those were some scary days back then too.) And I still talk to a few of them. My offline friends were just people I met while in College and we on and off keep in touch, but are usually too busy to see each other. I don't have a mate to keep me company, just a room mate and she's crazy about dolls. (Seriously, she loves BJD, Ball Jointed Dolls.)

            I HAVE THAT TOO, AND ITS STILL FROM MY MOM! x(

            I could be having a very happy day, and just looking at something intently, and people will be like "What's wrong Kiaga?" or "Are you ok?" It actually does put a damper on my mood, don't know why, but it does. I guess social interaction is hard either way... xD May I send you a friend request here? :)

            Man, I used to be MUCH more outgoing online, but my sister (She kind of acts as a 2nd mom, she helps my mom out with a lot) started monitoring me online, and even got the password to my email and started watching the stuff I sent to friends. I think that's another thing that fueled my paranoia about opening up to people, and feeling sure of myself; I always kind of take a proverbial "look over the shoulder" with everything I post nowadays. I understand the need for people to keep an eye on your children, especially when on the internet with, but the Orwellian style of surveillance that she used is obviously not the way to do it. xP

            On the same page, I feel like the internet has changed a lot since I've been on it... I can't put my finger on what's changed about it, but one of the things contributing to the change would probably be how accessible it is now. It used to be that everyone had dial-up, or nothing at all, and you had to go to (I remember one day I got a fever at school, and I couldn't call home because someone was on the internet, and of course with dial-up you can't be on the phone AND online at the same time! Thank goodness it wasn't a more serious emergency; now that I think of it, that could be pretty darn dangerous...) But now everyone and their mother (Literally, she's my FB friend) is online; the internet is pretty much integral for life today. I know you can't apply to many places with a paper application anymore, and you pretty much NEED it for schoolwork...

            Dolls, eh?

            I'm not a big fan of dolls (The BJD ones are very cute though, you may have fueled another addiction!), I'm more of a plushie person. I'm really wanting enough space to, or when I move out to have a whole room devoted to plushies and other fun things... I guess it would be something akin to a play room for a child, but some kid's toys still entertain and fascinate me (I wish I still had my Legos and Linkin' Logs...) I'm still pretty young at heart, so I don't see the need for people to "act like an adult" when it comes to hobbies.

            Geez, sorry for chewing you ear off like this! xD

              Don't worry about chewing my ear off, I don't mind the read. I'm a bookworm at heart so long-winded messages are fun for me. :P ... and oh man you have made me wish I had Linkin' Logs again..(Not Lego's though, I always lost and stepped on those. Nasty little things.)

              I was one of those people with the dial-up. It didn't help I lived out in the middle of nowhere so it would take HOURS to connect, and one ruddy phone call to disconnect it. It was down right irritating when trying to do research for a paper, let me tell you. It's rather scary how integral the internet is now. My family talks with me over FB, my cousins makes me become their "neighbor" in games so they can waste their lives playing them even more...heck I do too sometimes when I'm obnoxiously bored.

              I feel I'm the same as I ever was on the interest- except that I don't "type lyke dis nymore." Yes, I was one of those people on account that I was lazy and also didn't know how to properly type. I did the hole, finger-point thing where I look down and click the keys with two fingers. My Dad and Step-Mom did get worried for a time and put security programs onto the computer to watch what I did though. They even had a program that could see every single thing I typed in little logs. Made for some awkward conversations during the day when I found out since they never got what was said BACK to me or saw what I was responding to in the first place. They would just see half a conversation and think the worst things imaginable. My Mom just didn't care. She figured I was smart enough to not give out the important information and figuring if I was really talking to a predator, something would have happened already. That and she didn't think I could get anywhere with talking to one of them with how crappy out connection was at the time. (26kbs on a good day is not a fast connection.. at all. And that's just on a good day. Most of the days my connection could barely hit 20 and always stuck to 16 on the worst days.)

              Thank God for Wireless, I guess.

              And yes, you can add me as a friend if you'd really like. :)
