Hello All. I'm Esmee, and I'd like to say hello, and my muse EM is bugging me to say that she says hello as well. Okay, alright actually she wants to say 'Ciao' because she thinks it makes her sound sophisticated. She doesn't seem to realize that as the Writer, I'm the connection to the real world, and I think that she sounds like an idiot. Because really only Italians and Eddie Izzard can get away with saying that. Anyways, I'm an insomniac, an insane-person, a writer and an artist, things that generally all go together for some reason. I'm almost always broke, and I unfortunately have to work about 30 hours a week as well as going to college full time. I also update obsessively. Well, as I said I'm an insomniac and if you only sleep for 4 hours a day, then you have to do something with the other 20. I should stop rambling because my reviewers I'm sure would be screaming "write another chapter, not a bloody bio because we already know all about you and Em's insanity!" So i'll go and write another chapter. Maybe two if your lucky.
Ta my darlings.
