Hi. My name isn't Joan Ike. I make really great first impressions. I love to write. I also love to bungee jump, deep sea dive, and leap parachuteless from high-flying planes. But, mostly, I love to write.
Okay, the end.

My passion is ...

tap dancing. On bubblewrap.

I know too much about ...

too much, really. I'm kind of really creepy.

My parents always told me ...

what parents are supposed to tell their kids.

My childhood ambition ...

to be a Transformer, of course.

My favorite memory ...

being pushed into a lake and sinking down because my shoes were too heavy.

Why I write ...

because if I didn't, I would die.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm currently reading God Shaped Hole. It's a fun book, but I can tell the ending isn't going to be satifying. I've been thinking about all of the possible scenarios and they all suck.

My best moment ...

I don't know, but I'll bet you anything Kodak failed to catch it anyway.

My inspiration ...

for writing, I guess just life in general. But that's really broad, I guess. Other writers? That's inspiring, right? Maybe some of you, even.

What of the silly, stupid lovers who swore forever'd come?
A girl that I was fond of and the boy who loved the sun?
What practical thinkers never could understand,
the fade doesn't wait for just anyone.
Those quiet night whistles-
so you hear them too?
Come morning,
they'll still only be half way gone.
