How South Park made something funny into a real, heartwarming relationship
As I have stated in some of my other articles, I have a semi-active Fan-Fiction.net account. I have been writing fan-fictions since 2007. Vocal is a platform that seems to really understand fan-fictions and the fans of it as a whole and do not judge people who write them as a hobby or for fun (as I do, and for other reasons I mention below), and for that I truly appreciate it as a member.

Brewing spins on old recipes & Drawing for my friends and family
I am not a very talented artist when it comes to drawing and painting, I only draw what I know and what I love. My main form of therapy as an emotional sieve and as an release is writing poetry and writing short stories. Romance is my absolute favorite thing to write about, if you haven't noticed from my stories on here!!

What does your dream look like?
I was watching the BFG, and I loved the idea of dreams---well, the essence of a dream, being captured in a glass jar. Sophie was a cheeky, sarcastic, witty little lady who didn't take crap from anyone and I wanted to live inside of that world, and I admired her because I felt like I was her---and being inside of the world of Giants and Dream Country was something I think I could survive in too. I wanted to dip my fingers inside of the jar, and fall into it like a well, and swim deep in that world, in the mystery of that mystical and magical, almost Will-o'-the-wisp kind of feeling. To live, to love, to escape.

Kernel of an idea
Dreams, the quintessential experience of every nightmare that isn’t during waking hours. It is improbable that dreams can be an easy escape from reality when in day to day life there is kidnapping, rape, murder, betrayal, and not to mention the slow drudgery of everyday tasks, jobs—-dreams gone to waste. Of course there are some luckier than others, who just seem to fit into the roughest terrain and seem to know exactly how to maneuver through it with grace and prosperity. When I was first brought into overseeing a highly secretive and high profile mission that required keeping secret the most important dream of humanity since man first looked at the moon, it was not easy to manage. My dreams canvassed more than what normal folks wanted. I never wanted children, a wife, a job. I never wanted a huge house and a yard with the picket fence. I didn’t even want to live on earth.
