About Me
I never was one to describe myself, but if I had to, here's what I would have said:
I suppose i'm quiet the nature lover! The beauty and grace that lies in each end every valley, mountain, field, canyon, and coast is indescribable. I suppose I like to try and describe it, but it never does show its true potential. You could call me anti-social, but nature would disagree with you. I just have never felt like someone who likes to hang out with other kalons, whenever i'm left alone to talk with someone, it's just awkward silence. I don't need other kals right? I just need nature. When i'm in nature, all I need are books, my journal, and myself. It's relaxing. I am a lover of all flowers and plants, but not one to enjoy being with other kals. Overall, i'm usually a pretty happy person, I love to write, read, and sometimes draw. But oh dear, you do not want to see one of my drawings! Stick figures are my best, although sometimes I can't even draw those right! Not much else to say, I hope you enjoyed reading a bit about me.

My Poetry
My passion and career is poetry. It's an escape, and something I love to do. I'm sure you could tell already from my last entry, but it's mainly about nature. Nature is just, glorious. I decided to show a few examples of my poems in my journal for anyone who chooses to read it. For your information, I personally don't think they describe nature well enough to it's full beauty, but I hope you enjoy.

A land far away
Much to my dismay
The wind's cry
The seagull's fly.

The Oceans' crash
Along the path
The stars lay below
No longer in the sky.


The mountains stay
The wolves run and cry in the night
The deer race away under the moonlight
The stars are dancing where they lay
Shining in the night
Making the sky dapple with light
Hiding away in the day.

My Life
I was born in a small cottage off the coast of Tahiti. I lived a happy childhood, and throughout it I gained my strong love for writing and nature. I used to love art as well, but I could never get the hang of it.Writing, it was my passion. I loved it, it was all I ever wanted to do. It was a joke among those who knew me is that during a zombie apocalypse, all you needed fo do was plop me by a waterfall with a journal and I'd be fine. Truth me told, that wouldn't be to bad I say! I always had a hard time making friends, as nobody really understood me and what I loved to do. I was a loner, and I was fine with that. At the end of each day, I would walk down to the shoreline and collect seashells. Commonly I saw sand dollars a lot, and took a rather liking to collecting whole ones. It was fun, and I amassed quite the collection! When I got older and moved to the countryside, I ended up collecting rocks! The only art I ever really could do was dot painting. I would occasionally take a smooth flat rock, and dot paint it, dots on dots was always fun. I still do a lot of these things, some I enjoy more than others. Now, I currently am staying in a cozy cabin up in the mountains, writing about the animals and beautiful sights I see. I love to snuggle up by the fire and drink hot chocolate, and the occasional cup of tea! I've never been much of a coffee gal, it's either to sweet or to bitter.

The small room was lit by a dim, flickering light
that hung above the rickety table.
A young kalon sits in front of you, tapping her
foot and staring impatiently at you.
You look down to find a scrap of paper in front of you,
with questions running down the whole length of it.
"Go on," the kalon said, "waiting is very dull, and you
aren't doing me any favors sitting there like
a cat who just realized it has whiskers."

What emotion best describes you?: She taps her paws on the table,
scrunching up her nose. "Well, I suppose my friends have called me impulsive and hyper,
but those aren't really emotions, are they." She let her head fall to the table.
"Uggggghhhh, maybe excited?" She lifted her head back up.
"I'm sure someone has called me that at least once."

What emotion do you evoke in others?: She laughed nervously.
"I've been told that I annoy people before, but my friends seem to all be pretty protective of me."
She sighed. "I guess that means they care about me, but also don't believe in my abilities much.
Defensive mush, perhaps?"

What do your need most?: She blushed slightly at this question,
and began tabbing her hind paw against the floor faster.
"Ooh, personal. Well, I mean, social approval is something we generally need to be happy.
I am quite fond of company."

What is your goal in life?: She gave a slightly sad smile this time.
"I'd really like to be cool. Like, not care about my troubles, be really chill kinda cool.
That'd be sweet."

How does you believe this goal can be accomplished?: "I don't even know, really.
I hope that if I just keep doing cool things, maybe I'll just... become cool."

What could you lose that you would consider worse than death?: "Hmm, being isolated
from anyone for a long amount of time.
That'd be torture!" She shivered.

Where did you come from?: "Mmm, I was born in a small town with my parents."
She paused. "We were pretty poor, and they're dead now, so it doesn't really matter much."
She plastered a smile on her face, but you can note a sadness in her eyes.
"Next question, please?"

What values do you hold?: "I can do this. Well, I really enjoy the company of others,
so friendship I guess, I also really like adventure. I'm a bit of a thrill-seeker.
Being a good person is sorta important I guess, so that too?"

How do you dress?: She grinned. "Ooooh, I love casual wear.
You'll never catch me in anything fancy, practicality is always the most important thing.

What are your personal tastes?: "Like, with food?" She shrugged.
"Uh, I like whatever. I'm not really picky, but my favorite foods are always the spicy variety."
She winked. "When it comes to other stuff, uh, I don't really care much for things with,
I dunno, crazy deep meanings or anything. I don't want a maze to find the moral of a movie,
or like, analyze a song. Just give it to me straight."

What is your comfort zone?: "Adventure! Doing dangerous things! Friendsssss!"

Who has had the biggest impact on your life?: She froze. "Well, the apocalypse, obviously.
My parents are dead, and if this goes well, I'll be leaving my home forever."
She let out a nervous chuckle and stood.
"I might end up dying in the abyss of space if you guys don't choose me.
My world is freaking falling apart!" She sat back down, her tail twitching anxiously.

What are some of your unexpected quirks?: Still looking nervous,
she responded after a long pause. "I guess I drag people into my messes, huh.
Then they have to clean it up because I'm onto my next thing. No wonder my friends baby me."

How do you think you'll die?: "Considering the circumstances, most likely
either when the planet gets burnt to a crisp, or if the escape pods don't find habitable surfaces."
She looked up, tears glistening in her eyes. "Please choose us. My friends and I will all die if you don't pick us."

You shuffle your papers as she moves to the bunks, where countless young creatures
awaited results of who would be chosen for escape pods, the last hope of
escaping before the sun destroyed the planet. You sigh.
"I'm sure everyone wants this just as much as you do, September."

and music that fits

Quick announcement!

Per user request, this competition (along with their sibling's competition) has been extended!
The new end date is July 7th, 11:59 pm Central time!

I know this is a long extension but as I'll be out of town for the 30th, I don't see any reason to close it when I can't be around to judge. There will be no more extensions, so please use this time wisely! :)
