The name is Bond. James Bond.

Actually, my name is Rachel, and I'm a fifteen year old awkward Asian freshman in high school, and that is all you need to know. But what you want to know, I cannot tell you; you need to figure that out for yourself.

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." Ralph Waldo Emerson

I can only hope that it has made, is making, or will make some difference that I have lived and lived well. I can only hope that I have shaken myself from the yokes of inauspicious stars, but who am I to confirm that? I'd love to say that I have known the love of an earnest boy, but I cannot because I haven't.

Who is to say what love is or isn't? Love has no precise definition. Love is like a tomato. It's not a fruit, it's not a vegetable (though crap loads of people would beg to differ on the controversial subject); it's just some bizarre in-between thing. And you know what? It's okay.

I try to be philosophical and insightful, but who am I to say that I'm an expert on such things? We, as the youth of this strangely fantastical world, do not know anything. What do we know about love or about life or about death or about the meanings of our existence? We try to know, but some things we will never know.

But I know enough to say that I was here. I am here. I will be here.

Looking back at some of my (way) older works from over a year ago, I must say... EW. What the hell is this crap?

I'm still keeping it up, but GAH. Looks like I'll be completely rewriting everything over the summer. Yay!

For chapter 4 of Infinity, shall I lead up to India's first meeting with Charlie, or shall I take a peek into her past? I have so many different fragments and shards of this mess of a story; I just need to figure out a way to piece them together.

"My thoughts are stars that I cannot fathom into constellations."

Right now, I'm leaning more into the lead-up of the first meeting. But I might end up changing my mind later... I'll probably end up giving you guys a "future-flash"... Gah. What do you guys think?

CH.3 IS UP!

Warning: is very long, and contains foul language throughout.

Nevertheless, please do take the time to check it out and vote / comment / fan / add to library / all that lovely jazz. I'd love to hear any feedback, and I can only hope that this will seriously become my first completed story!

I lied; what's new? I, to no surprise, have not updated "Killing Infinity" quite yet; this chapter is turning out to be much longer than I expected. The journey from a drunken lament at a bar to a headache in a coffee shop is quite the lengthy one, not to mention the Italian rascal with cigarettes in his jacket, the skunk who gets people drunk, and some infuriatingly unsolvable math problems that lead to inconvenient phone calls that happen in between.

So I must apologize for my lack of updates, but trust me, I'm trying! I'm shooting for this weekend, so keep your pants on, please!

I'm so close to finishing Ch. 3 of Killing Infinity, I can almost taste it... I'll try to upload it by Sunday or sometime next week; I've hit a little snag trying to introduce this other character that will weave oddly in and out of the story from time to time, and I just need to tweak it slightly. And then I'll be ready to furiously type up the rest and give you a taste of Charlie and India's first encounter along with only a small percentage of the devastation that Charlie feels about his imploded marriage. And you'll meet a lovely man by the name of Marco with whom I have fallen deeply in love with.

So that's all I'll reveal for now, so please look forward to it! I sincerely hope that you guys are enjoying "Killing Infinity" so far; I desperately want it to be my first completed story on Wattpad since so many others of mine have been scrapped time and time again. So all the support I can get is greatly appreciated, and I'd love any feedback! Voting, commenting, adding to libraries, and fanning are infinitely appreciated. Thank you, guys!

CHAPTER TWO OF "KILLING INFINITY" IS UP.

I've worked my butt off on this baby, so I genuinely hope that you guys like it! Again (as always), votes and comments and adding to libraries and word of mouth is IMMENSELY appreciated. I'm trying my absolute hardest to make this story my first completed one, and a goddamn beautiful one at that.

By the way, the story is told in non-linear form, meaning that it skips around a lot without any sense of chronological order; so the second chapter starts in the middle of things. You get to meet Charlie Brown in this chapter! Please take the time to read!

Thanks, always!

I've become incredibly intrigued with the concept of black-holes; nonetheless, my conception of this fascinating phenomenon in our universe is very basic, but I might just attempt to incorporate it into "Killing Infinity". Oh yeah, I'm (FINALLY) on spring break, so hopefully, I'll update some things! Hopefully is the key word here...

@IAmUndefined Thank you so much for the birthday wish! And thank you for also dedicating a chapter of "99 Reasons" to me. That was incredibly sweet. So happy un-birthday to you, my friend!
