My name is Daryl Gallegher and I am seventeen years old. I have been writing since I was five, when I read my first Stephen King book, "The Shining" . Now, I realize a lot of literary writers just blow this guy off, but I think he's cool. I write horror/thriller poetry and prose, and, even though I am seen as somewhat of a "child prodigy" (hate the word), I have a *lot* to learn about writing. Well, let's see; I hate talking about myself, but I enjoy camping wih my friends, painting and, yes, I'm one of thoes nerds who plays the piano, jazz mostly. I am a rabid Nirvana fan and wish Kurt was still with us. Suicide is a stupid thing to do, because once it's over, that's all folks! I have been lurking here long enough to know of Hotmail's sordid reputation, but I assure you I'm just a normal kid with a high IQ, which, incidentally, means nothing, and who is in third year of university in Vancouver, B.C. In case you're interested, I study English and Philosophy and plan on teaching high school kids when I graduate. Hopefully Vancouver won't be like the states and the student's will be packing pieces.. Anyway, here I am, and please accept me into your forum. I'm not one of the "bad guys"...people even tell me I look and act like Beaver Cleaver..UGH!!!! So get ready for some dark and disturbing works from the dark lair of Daryl the Dragonslayer....:) peace and all that, Daryl I'm working on a sig. Please be patient...:) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
