-- My mind probably merits a “radioactive” sign. Particles of insanity tend to leak out and infect others' minds.

--I’m not actually insane. Just ask my therapist.

--Did you know that 47% of people who say they aren’t insane are, in fact, insane?

--Did you know that 90% of statistics are made up?

Hi. I’m a college freshman (credit-wise, sophomore) who likes to read fantasy, science fiction, and just about any other genre he can get his hands on. He also likes to talk about himself in third person.

My favorite authors as of now are Edgar Allan Poe, J.R.R Tolkien, Stephen King, Piers Anthony, Christopher Paolini (Eragon), Ray Bradbury, and Arthur C. Clarke. 

Favorite movies? Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Look it up on Youtube. Also, Fiddler on the Roof makes me almost cry. Every time. 

I’m 19. I’m male. My pen name here is J.D. (Jonathan Daniel) Spender. I'm single and  heterosexual. Sorry, guys. Hello, ladies. 

No, I’m not gonna use Wattpad for romances. If you thought I was serious, my apologies for making a joke on a sensitive subject. I’m not as funny as I think I am.

Or am I? If I think I’m not as funny as I think I think I am, then I’m not very funny, so I must be as funny as I think I am. Paradox!

:)

I dislike emoticons. And hypocrites. So I’m a double hypocrite. 

As you can see, my stories were last updated in July. I have not given up on Wattpad. I've just been busy reading the entire public library...don't worry though. Fresh updates are coming soon.

As a few of you may be aware, I am participating in the Sci-Fi Smackdown hosted by ForbiddenPlanet. Thus, you may expect a series of stories to appear on my page over the course of the next few months. Assuming I make it past Round One, that is.

 I humbly ask for your moral support as I live through these grueling times. Thank you for being such awesome and loyal fans!

@ThePinkyandTheBrain Yeah. I finally made it to my parents house, and I'm going to spend the day at the beach. Granted, it's about 40 degrees, but it is beautiful outside.  Snow...eeeh. 

I spent all of last night cuddling with my best friend watching American Horror Story.  Since she and I are complete pansies, going to the beach will be the first time I've left my room in like 12 hours. Too scared to go outside. :( 

Ha, yes, my secret identity is not really that hard to find.  Nor is it really secret. I just like pen names. With tree last names.  So Shelby or Rae work fine. (My middle name is Rae, get it?)  *throws back shot* Oh yes, our professional work relationship will remain entireerrlyy  inntacct *smiles* I'mm goionng to tke a napp noww, andd grb somee cofeee beafour i goto ze bech. ciaao!!

@SRae91 Ha, we're about to get a blizzard up here in Iowa. I've been busy reading Foundation by Isaac Asinov, watching a mix of House and Walking Dead, and (very soon) I'll be shoveling snow. Three feet of it. 

Lovely. 

Anyway, my story is also crawling at best, just like the aforementioned turtle. But I'm still hopeful. 

I followed the link on your page to the short story and discovered your secret identity. Don't worry, this will not effect our (very) professional work relationship. **throws up from imbibing too much alchohol, then writes about it and sterts two mispeal thangs**

Cya later.

@ThePinkyandTheBrain I just listen to music on Youtube, as I am way too poor to buy anything.  I shall have to look at those songs, because I appreciate talent but can only handle so many high pitched noises.  :)  

Writing is...not? going...but I'm working on it. Right now I'm recovering from a bout of the flu and pretty much watched an entire season of Grey's Anatomy yesterday, much to my own horror.  

Ha, thanks.  I only put up this pic to prove I'd been to the snow!  I've only seen snow like, twice though so I think I'm 18 in this one.  Ah, the good old days.

Cheers *clink*

@SRae91 Yeah, the seventies and eighties were a crazy time. My favorite song is Pagliacci and a few of ballad style songs, like "Fool on the Hill," "The Sound of Silence," and "The Impossible Dream" are pretty darn good too, and less piercing. Enough about all that though. 

I listened to the some Stevie Ray Vaughan, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and will enjoy even more as I fall asleep from it. Unfortunately, I have way too much music I want to buy now...maybe I should just subscribe to Spotify!

How's the writing going? Oh, and nice profile pic, although, I have to admit I liked the other better....:)

Cheers, *clink*

@SRae91 

What songs did you listen to?

@ThePinkyandTheBrain was listening to some of Maynard Ferguson's music.  He probably won't make it onto my casual listening list (trumpet isn't my favorite instrument, the sound is too piercing), but daaaang.  That guy can play.

@SRae91 Well, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Don't plan the plan if you can't follow through.

ALSO (ignores that  you're laughing at me) Doctor Horrible is the best.  I've watched it half a thousand times. Know all the songs.  Did a group costume as Doctor Horrible and Captain Hammer last Halloween.  I was NPH, of course...because I'm blonde. Wanted to be Cap. :(
