Hello, everyone. While I'm not entirely new on here, I suppose it'd be polite to introduce myself before barging into the threads. My name is SummerSparrow, but you're welcome to refer to me as Sparrow (or create a nickname, provided that it's not demeaning or inappropriate). I joined this website in 2013 and have been haunting it since then, playing games but keeping a low profile. It wasn't until recently that I decided to become more active and begin posting some comments, as well as visit the forums (which I tend to avoid for some reason). I have taken the time to visit the "Help & Info" section and read all the available articles, so I understand what is expected of me as a member. I've also noticed and been informed of the troll problems. I'd like to assure you that I am not and will not be a troll. I intend to contribute to this community as best as I can, and I hopefully will not be seen as a nuisance on this website.
I rarely write introductions on forums, so I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly. But if I'm not mistaken, I should also include a few facts about myself so that you all have a better idea of who I am.
- Writing has been and will continue to be one of my greatest passions. Ever since I was a child, I loved writing stories, poems, and songs. Being able to convey my emotions and wrap people in another world through storytelling is thoroughly enjoyable.
- I've had past experience in critiquing people's stories/taking critiquing requests on another writing website. While I'm far from being a professional, I'm used to examining works with a critical eye and leaving a lengthy review.
- I can be a morbid person at times, but I normally keep this side to myself and save it for writing.
- I've played the piano for twelve years and find it to be soothing.
- Quiet music with a tinge of sadness is enjoyable. It silences my mind and helps the world to become clearer around me. I cannot tolerate happy songs attempting to promote positivity. It only causes me to feel trapped and frightened.
- I dislike food and only consume enough to boost my health and chances of survival. While a balanced diet is important to me, I prefer eating vegetables (normally salads). I do manage to maintain a healthy weight, although I'm still underweight.
- Cupcakes are horrifying.
- I don't know.
- . . .
Please do not be frightened off by my formality (people have been a bit wary of me because of my way of writing). As strange or dull as I may sound, I'm a friendly and happy person in reality. I'm more than happy to speak with people. In fact, I can be a leech for social interaction - I receive a lot, but I only crave more. I hope you enjoyed my introduction, and I'm sorry if it was too long. I also hope we can all get along. Best wishes to you all.
