personal bio:

I got into story writing after I read the GAN saga, Ben Tusi's 'Homies World' and some of Crobato's work, particularly the 'White Beast'. I guess it filled me with writing fevour, so off I went to try my hand at fiction. Of course, skills are rarely in tune with eggerness, so my first pieces of literature were, well, crap. However 2 and a half years worth of 'practice' has improved my writing I guess. English at school changed from being my worst and hated subject into my favourate, so that's a little something.

I started the Idiot's Guide after being rather 'enspired' by Homie's World. It started sometime during Japanese, 2 years ago, when I remarked upon the rediculousness of the nickname of one of my classmates. His nickname was Squishy. Whatever reasons for or against it's choosing, we may never know. But that was the starting point. When I was thinking of ideas to create a story, I wanted an antagonist that was...unique. His name was conscripted into the story as the infamous Squishy.

Of course I was under no assumptions that my story would be significantly remembered by, so I did the lazy thing and just used my name and a bunch of other names for the characters. The rest of the stuff came from all kinds of bits and pieces of stuff over the years.

Well enough about stories. For the future I'll probably end up doing something that involves computer work: Might as well use those l33t sk1llz or something. I want to keep writing, but probably just as casual as opposed to professional.

And for life goals, well if there's one goal I have, it's only this. I wish to be remembered. For something, I don't care what, but just remembered for changing the world somehow, someway. Remembered beyond my years as opposed to disappearing into the abyss as a forgotten nothing.

notable events:

This year my Grandfather (Japanese side) passed away, aged 89. My family attended the after funeral memorial service in Japan. Other than that, nothing much of note has happened. Rather, it all happened last year it seems.

favorite quote:

"As you pass from the tender years of youth into the harsh and embitted manhood, make sure you take with you all the human emotions! Don't leave them on the road, for you will not pick them up afterwards!"

Nikolai Gogal, Dead Souls, 1842
