Fellow Prosers
Hello, I am Stevo, that is what I like to be called. The tag 'Yowwa' was gifted to me by my best friends daughter who is just turned four years old, and she is darling.
I am almost sixty three years old, blind in my right eye and am homeless, living within the small room allotted me by my employer.
I am indeed a fortunate thing, as my job permits me time to write and read upon this, my beloved Prose.
I have favourites among you, lovely kittens that you are, but I love you all in almost equal measure. I am challenged to measure up to the quality and imagination I discover on a daily basis here on Prose, so forgive me if sometimes I fail to equal your output.
I am a devoted lover of chocolate, and despite my doctors advice to leave it be, I refuse to abstain from this delicious repast. I feel that reading and chocolate go together so irresistibly, that I am often to be found on my free days with my head buried deep within Prose, and chocolate fingerprints all over my screen.
I love reading fantasy epics, particularly science fiction, and owe a debt I can never repay to my early devotion to the American comics that found their way to the UK. I loved those early days, my bedroom was a cave devoted to Classics Illustrated, Marvel Comics and the many others that I collected and read over and over, until my mother threw them out, something I never forgave her for.
Like I said, I love Prose. I love so many things about it. I love how I can take part in several challenges at once and chop and change between them without losing your work. I am currently engaged in three separate challenges.
My favourite part of Prose is the comments section, it is here were I am happiest, making and reading comments sounds so dull, but it is vital we all hear the encouragement we need to grow as writers.
We all need critique, how else do know when we put a foot wrong, but it must be couched in encouragement to work, something I feel very strongly about.
I drink tea. English tea (even though that is only a name, we do not grow our own here as far as I am aware). Talking of tea, I do believe it is time I had another cupful, so adieu dear Prosers, and all my love to you all.
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
I'm a big fan of animals. I always have been. Especially really large fluffy ones, like lions and tigers and bears. (Oh my!) I am not however, a big fan of any kind of insect. Something about them just makes my skin crawl.
Movies are a big passion of mine. I love 'em. If I tried to list my favorites I'm not sure it would ever end, but a few of my top would include Dreamwork's "How to Train Your Dragon", "Big Hero 6", "The Avengers", and "Star Trek". Because of my love for movies I am an even bigger fan of Netflix. I like to think of myself as a very skilled binge watcher, but sadly that isn't a skill with much appreciation.
Superheores make me happy. I'm not a big nerd about it, but I wish I was. I've never read any of the comics, so I'm not at all as serious of a superhero fan as some others may be, but I've always loved anything and everything concerning them.
I watch quite a few TV shows, almost religiously. These would include The 100, Once Upon a Time, The Flash, Arrow, iZombie, Dancing with the Stars, and a few other that are no longer running, such as Young Justice. (A tear shed for its discontinuation)
I've always liked reading, which influenced my love for writing, and I usually like to read series, like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Eragon, and of course, the prime of my child hood, The Percy Jackson series.
Music is a big part of my life. I've played flute for almost six years, and I am just now starting to teach myself how to play guitar. One thing I enjoy even more than making music is listening to it. Alternative has been my favorite kind of music for quite some time now. Walk the Moon, Vance Joy, Fall Out Boy, Alt-j, Imagine Dragons, Arctic Monkeys, and One Republic are a handful of my favorite artists.
Art is another large hobby of mine. Ever since I was little I have loved to draw and doodle. If has always been an excellent way for me to express myself, and like writing, has no limits. Anything you can imagine is possible.
A Little Bit of Truth
I don't think any of you here on Prose. actually know me. I am pretty kept to myself at times but that doesn't mean I don't want to know all of yo, I do. I hope you find this to be something worth reading. This is a little bit about me..enjoy.
I love coffee, tea, and lemonade.
I love psychology books more than I do any other kind because I am intrigued by it all. Human behavior is a huge part of my studies as well.
I am a fan of Criminal Minds, Ghost Whisperer, and the movie Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
I write a lot of tragic things because I love horror and romance mixed in together.
My fears: heights, showing weakness, and public speaking.
I'm introverted to the core.
I spend most of my time with my pets. (two turtles, three dogs (one recently passed away), two cats)
I love traveling and simply being outside in the sun or at night with the company of the moon. I crave natures presence and I need it as well. I think everyone does. I wish more people would spend time outside instead of glued to their digital screens.
I am in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend Caleb. It's been the longest relationship I've ever had. I'm glad I have him in my life.
I love rings and the color black, grey, and brown. (Anything neutral really)
Not a huge shopper though I do collect art and CD's.
I like sunsets. The way they are always different each time. It's like a show in the sky.
I love creatures of every kind. If they are dangerous I'll admire from a far. If not you bet I'll be up close and praising their existance. It amazes me how many insects and animals are so uniquely made for them to survive in their own way.
I was born in a small city of western Russia, but I'm American raised. I love foreign foods but I do not eat meat/fish.
I also live off of pizza and egg rolls.ha
I make my own jewelry and paint in my free time.
I love riding my bike, camping, skateboarding, hiking, and canoeing.
If you know me then you'd know I may be sweet but my view of humanity differs from my view of nature.
I am constantly battling myself.
A good vs. evil type thing within me.
I have a need to learn, but I struggle to remember a lot of what i do.
I play stragegy games to train my brain.
I also love Prose. I have been busy lately with family but I always find my free time being spent here. I hope you enjoyed this little getting to know me. I hope to read more about you lovely writers. Thank you!
Dear Prosers,
I am married to 49 books... Guess what? I love books!
I had a wedding one time when I got married to Mr. Wall. He's actually a wall. So I guess you could say that I love Mr. Wall.
I love skiing. Like, a lot. Sadly, skiing season is basically over.
I love Regina Spektor's music. I also love listening to First Aid Kit. (It's a band.)
I'm a vegetarian. I am going vegan in the summer.
WOOHOO FRUITS!! Sumo oranges might be my favorite food, aside from chocolate (especially dark chocolate.)
I collect stuffed animal sheep.
I love my friends to death.
I love my cat, Cleo. She's very sweet; I've never heard her hiss at anyone, except for the first time she met my huge dogs, Wilson and Cooper.
I think everybody here loves writing, so I'm just not going to mention that.
My favorite place is the beach. One reason only: The beautiful ocean.
I hate bacon with a burning passion. It tastes disgusting, I hated it before I went vegetarian.
I. Hate. Animal. Testing.
Seriously.
I HATE IT.
I hate circuses and zoos...
I hate every single freaking form of animal abuse.
I love animals. My favorite animal is an elephant. I also love monkeys, especially since I watched a video, and a monkey was petting all these puppies and he gave each of them a turn to be petted, and I started crying.
I don't really like watching television. I'd rather spend time in the forest next to my cabin, or the river.
I'm pretty sure I have more pajamas then actual clothes.
I really like Taylor Swift, but her new album... I don't know. It's not as good as Red.
I have, like, ten dollars. I spent all of my money on books...
Favorite books:
SSSSSSSUUUUUUUMMMMEEEEEEERRRRR AAAAANNND BIIIIIRRRRRD
I COMAND YOU TO READ SUMMER AND BIRD RIGHT NOW READ IT READ IT READ IT
please

You won't regret it, I promise.
Ooookaaaay... That's basically me. Have fun reading Summer and Bird. You better read it. Now.
From,
StellarBee
Work Of Me
As you all know, I love Demi Lovato. I plan to get three of the same tattoos of hers (at least) they include:
The birds flying up her right forearm.
"Stay Strong" on the wrists; Stay on the left and Strong on the right. (Must be in the same fancy cursive as hers.)
"Now I'm A Warrior" above me left shoulder blade. (Once again, the same fancy cursive)
I'll let my writings explain why I want these.
I want to learn calligraphy really bad. Handwriting has always been one of my favorite things, and I love curly, slick letters over the boxy hard kind. I want to take a whole class on how to write fancily.
I would love to be a famous singer, but I guess that's not for me 'cause I can't sing worth shit. (But I do it anyway)
My mom makes me go to church, but I don't believe in God. So when we have to pray, I part to Demi Lovato instead.
I am against feminism. (The third wave of it)
I have never been in love; rather the idea of it. However I would love to be in love with a person. Such as Hazel and Augustus Waters. They will always be my relationship role models.
I have a major crush on a guy I've never even talked to. (Which I always used to think was crappy for people to do)
Apparently, I have a thing for blondes.
I love love love love love love sappy romances. Preferably comedy but that's just a bonus.
I also like horror. But I legit hate jump scares. Those are what scare me the most and I fucking hate them with a fucking passion don't even get me started.
In "The Fault In Our Stars" I hated Monica more than the cancer.
I love winter. Mainly because I love how people look in their cute little coats and mittens and hats and how they snuggle up to stay warm.
I love affection, but feel uncomfortable when confronted by it.
Sorry, but I'm a very picky person. And a perfectionist. I hate being a perfectionist.
I often try to come up with my own theories.
I have an unhealthy obsession with candles. I'm a candle hoarder.
One day I plan to wear nothing but merch and skinny jeans.
Oreos? I hate them. Unless they're the seasonal ones. Like the special Halloween or Christmas decorated ones. Those are the only ones I'll ever eat.
I used to be obsessed with bologna sandwiches, until one day I got sick and puked it up.
I would love to get spider-bites but my mom says no. As well as dye my hair.
I'm a coward at heart. Sorry. Don't do well with any sorts of pain.
I think that the word could be a better place if there was no such thing as selfishness; only altruism.
I love what John Green said about jot and sadness. You know the saying "you can't know joy without sadness?" Well, take away sadness, you still have joy. You just don't have anything to compare joy to, but that doesn't mean joy doesn't exist.
The crush I mention earlier? I may or may not stalk him? I only have eleven pictures of him (some I've taken myself and some I've found from families social media sites. Don't post pictures of your kids.) his locker number is 281. And he used to work at Rock River Rapids as a lifeguard. (The nearby water park) he possibly still does. I also have a list I made myself of all his classes through out the day.
Instead of saying "Goodbye" I always say "Stay Strong"
My likes...
Where do I start...
I love dinosaurs.
Movies and TV shows are my obsession.
I could never pick my favorite movie, but some shows I watch are The Flash, The Blacklist, Izombie and Grey's Anatomy.
I make a living just so that I can travel and see the world.
I like shutting the world out and not noticing anything around me when I read.
The beautiful moon and stars give me hope of life beyond us.
What I like about me..
I have two favorite pastimes and I struggle daily with choosing between the two. Running and writing. Running wins out more often than the latter because it gives me the ability to eat "bad for me" food.
I can't go a day with out music and I unapologetically have the taste of a fourteen year old girl. I love Taylor Swift and I don't care if that makes you look at me differently.
I love to read and I have the dark circles under my eyes to prove it. Nothing satisfies me more than reading an entire book in one sitting.
My deep affection for classic musicals is unparalleled, although I can't stand The Sound of Music for completely superficial reasons. That haircut...I just can't.
I'm undeniably obsessed with stupid sitcoms and mind-numbing reality television. My heart actually skipped a beat when I saw the commercial for Dance Mums; a British version of the American counterpart, Dance Moms. Which brings me to my love of all things British, especially the accent. My first Tiger Beat poster was of Prince William (I was 11).
As a child, I was embarrassed to be from my home state of Kentucky. Now, as an adult, I am more than proud of our combination of subtle southern charm and whiskey-drinking women.
If you want to win my heart, tell me you love my dog and bring me a Diet Coke.
A Mishmash
Babies, the way they smell fresh from the bath.
My chickens, I actually love them! They're adorable pets.
Being married. This is no particular order, because obviously I love my husband more than my chickens.
My dog Fluffy. She is the embodiment of pure love.
My children. Again, no particular order. DON'T JUDGE ME!
Nature.
Quiet walks in the woods or strolls along the beach.
Moolah. I'm not gonna lie.
Real Estate. I love looking at beautiful houses online.
Fine leather goods. It's a sickness. :(
The city, except in winter.
Champagne.
Theater! Singing! Dancing!
Sleeping. I'm exhausted from all that singing and dancing.
Anything shiny and sparkly: Diamonds, fireworks, toaster ovens .
Sushi.
Writing, obvi! Ditto: reading
Coffee. I love coffee! I've had 4 cups today!! Am I talking too much?
Double dates.
Cooking.
Learning.
Travel.
I'm sure I'll think of more later, but those are my basics.
Nothing grand just the usual
I love desserts.
I eat more desserts than real food. And i'm a vegetarian.
I love all kinds of veggies and my most favorite is bittermelon (im not sure if that's the english term i'm not american :p)
The only shows i watch are The Flash, Grey's Anatomy and I Dated a Psycho(which explains why im very much single over the past 5years)
My first passion is singing.
My fave artists includes Mandy Moore, Beatles, Kamelot and many more. I dont have a specific genre.
I do performances at gatherings,weddings etc.,
I played Christine in the Phantom of the Opera and Eponine in Les Miserables at our school play
I play guitar, piano and flute (not a great player)
I love dancing as well, back in highschool i was part of the cheerleading team
I love art as much as i love writing.
I mainly use oil pastels but i dont know how to sketch. Hahaha
And i love books ofcourse. And my fave author is Leo Tolstoy, Cecilia Ahern, Janet Evanovich and Paolo Coelho
Right now those two have been taking up most of my time.
I love beach and sky.
But I'm agoraphobic.
I don't swim at the ocean, i just stare at it.
Hmmm i think these are enough hahaha..
I believe in the saying that
"What you do, will reflect back at you"
Just Me!
Hi, I'm Kal, I must begin by saying I adore people's point of view and perspectives on things. These are the types of things that inspires me as it makes me think out of the box and pushes me to venture out of my comfort zone.
I love a good challenge, I like writing but I prefer reading people's amazing works and I'm a sport fanatic; yup I'm totally obsessed with playing sport. Other than that I love being fashionable and I love clothing and amazing shoes.
