about me

heyy., i'm katrina

ok, well, i have absolutely no clue what to write in these 'about me' sections. and i can't think of anything funny or witty to write here, either. when i look at other people's pages, their 'about me' sections always sounds so cool and interesting. me? i'm probably blabbing on about some unimportant topic that, it seems, only i care about. like what i'm doing right now. oh, well. i'm still not any closer to knowing what to write here. the last time i wrote on this, i pretty much blabbed on and on and on. it was so long- it was probably long enough to become a chapter in a book. anyway, i'm starting all over.

i love reading (duh). like, seriously. my type off books are like the ones that make me cry. it doesn't matter which genre it is; romance, adventure, suspense, thriller, classic, sci-fi, fantasy, as long as it makes me cry. i'm a sucker for tearjerkers. but it doesn't have to be a tearjerker for me to fall in love with it. as long as the story is good and it intrigues me (i probably should have said that in the first place). oooh! and i also love those books that have, like, funny doodles and drawings and stuff. you know, like diary of a wimpy kid or happyface or something.

anyway, the only thing i'm not so keen on is writing. i don't know. i mean its fun to do and everything. but, when i want to write something, i just completely black out and my attention starts wandering. i'm so not good at writing in english, especially if there's a deadline. when i have nothing to do or i'm like bored or something, i imagine what words i use for writing. like, i recite sentences and even go on and on for paragraphs on the story. that usually happen when i'm lying on my bed, waiting to go to sleep. i usually don't have pen and paper lying around and i really can't be bothered getting up and looking for some. on time, i actually decided to put pen and paper near my bed. but when the words started to come and i started writing them down, it was like, blank. again! ugh. its so annoying. so i apologize now if my work suck. but, hey. at least i tried right? heh! lol. writing is just not my thing

oh! and i almost forgot. if you want swaps or anything, send me a message. if i decide i like it or i'm not being a lazy ass, then i'll read it and comment on it and stuff. i don't care which one you read and comment on, so please don't ask me about it. because if you do, then i will just ignore your request. i'm sorry if that sounds bitchy or whatever. oh, and you do read some of my stuff, i know that you need to be honest or whatever. okay. that's fine with me. but please don't brutally rip the damn thing apart. i already know it sucks. as i said before, writing is just not my thing.

It's Going to Be Okay

by Katrina Santillan

Short Story: General Fiction

There are times when you just want to forget memories, like they never happened. Sometimes, its easier that way. Right?

Kaitlynn opened her eyes and sat up her bed, blinking back sleep and, wondered what was the strange noise that woke her up. She looked around and found herself in an unfamiliar room- a bedroom. She closed her eyes, and thought about what had happened the night before. Suddenly, it all came rushing back to her...

Just Scared

by Katrina Santillan

Poem

It's not that I wanna have it, it's just that I wanna deserve it.

I guess to some extent you get used to being alone. You get used to not expecting phone calls and having nothing to do at night. You don't expect to turn around to open arms any longer. Your thoughts echo through your head, with no one to share them with. All in all, being alone isn't terrible, it just hurts like hell.
