I never feel right if I don't post an introduction first. x3;;;
I've been lurking around Pokecharms for... well, since last July, I'm guessing? I've been so used to having registration disabled that I probably will forget I actually made an account. xD;;
My name is Rachel, but I go by Rae. I'm 16 and a junior in high school. I live on the east coast of the US, and if you want to know anything else you'll have to ask me. xD I'm an artist. I do think I'm pretty good at drawing, but I currently don't have photoshop because only CS3 works with Vista, so all my stuff is either from paint or pen/pencil. I prefer to write. I've been writing fan fiction for Kingdom Hearts [I know, I know xD] since 2004? I do think I'm a lot better now. No Mary Sues and whatnot. x3 I've expanded to poetry since then, but my strong point is in prose. I'm a member of my school's literary magazine, and we currently need about three grand to go to print, so I'll probably stress about it someday.
I've been a pokemon fan since Yellow came out in the US. My brother and I were outsiders, and my mother wanted us to fit in and get more into the 'cool' things, so she bought me Yellow and the purple gameboy. I still have both. x3 Even if I'm not quite sure I approve of her motives behind getting me into pokemon, I'm glad she did. x3 I'm not a fan of the anime, but I adore the games and have recently gotten into the manga. I need to find a good site with manga scans and translations...
I hate talking about my other interests because then I seem boring. xD But, whatever. I like Kingdom hearts [obviously xD], reading fantasy books [but I can never remember which ones!], hanging out at the library, cooking and eating, and I can't quite remember anymore. I got distracted. xD I don't feel like adding anymore so I suppose I'll just stop trying. >_>; xD
