thank you so much for your comments on my work. I like to add a kick of feminism, but I agree that "male chauvinist pigs" is cliche. I will try to change that up a bit. thanks again. -Kayla Brady

Cool, glad you enjoyed it. I never considered Flowers for Algernon to be science fiction. Weird that it's considered that, though I suppose it makes some sense.

About Me

Occupation:	Unemployed free-writer
About Me:	I am 21 years old, find the world to be a wonderful and tiresome and lonely place simultaneously, and in trying to make sense of it all I write. I believe that words are tools, no better than the pen that writes them, but the feeling of the pen clicking on my teeth is better still.
Interests:	making music, connection of souls, the world as a big place that I can explore, the theory of the futility of contributing clarification in a family conversation, and prophetic feelings whether or not they prove false.
Favorite Books:	Popo: A Novel by Roesser Reeves
Favorite TV Shows:	3rd Rock From The Sun, Weeds, but I only watch those online...so technically I don't watch TV.
Favorite Quotes:	"Anyone who believes that a second is faster than a decade did not live my life." Jonathan Safran Foer "If you're doing business with a religious son-of-a-bitch, get it in writing. His word isn't worth shit. Not with the good lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal." William S. Burroughs "I think going to Hogwart is a lot like going to a liberal arts college. I mean yeah you learn some cool stuff, have some adventures, but it doesn't really prepare you for the real world, you know?" youtube spoof
Loves:	People that you can meet at all-night gas stations, talk to them for hours about Europe or cars or politics or philosophize about religion, the way a guitar string sounds a when it's new but broken in, hallucinogen broken minds, and cognitive dissonance.
Hates:	lonely, tired, stress.
