    So, yes. Introductions. Mhmm.

    Well, I'm Old Amsterdam. Feel free to call me Old, OA, Amsterdam, Old Amsterdam, Rain, Rain Stinks, but not Stinky. I will retaliate to that one. ^_^

    Anyways, I just turned 20 half a week ago (as of this post). I unload trucks for Walmart, and have been with the company for a year (as of tomorrow, as of this writing). I am about 5'11" (I don't know the metric version of my height, sorry), and weigh approx. 160 pounds (Again, I'm too lazy to look up the conversion to change that to metric).

    I'm open to almost all music, though I tend to learn towards Dubstep for my favorite. Oh, and Metal and Rock. I like most all music, except most rap. But, whatever.

    I'm a huge reader, and a major fan of most sci-fi / fantasy books. Top of my list of epic-ness includes:
    Harry Potter series
    House of Night series
    Nightshade series (and the prequel series)
    Thirst series
    and many, many more.

    I'm an author-in-the-making. I'm mostly working on my first book, The War: First Blood, which will be the beginnings of a trilogy. And yes, I do have the rest of the series mapped out, with titles, and the vast majority of chapter titles. The premise of the series spawned out of a freaky dream I had about aliens, and it turned into something totally unrelated at this point. I've also written loads of poetry of various forms, and several short stories. Not to mention a ton of articles for a school newspaper (that was published for the whole community).

    Mhmm....What else?

    During my junior and senior year of high school I went to a career tech school where I studied Internet Programming and Design. From there, I learned how to code, work with data bases, and a fair amount more involving computers and the internet.

    I suppose all in all, you could call me a nerd. A geek. Whatever. I'm not too worried about titles like that, they don't grasp the full extent of possibility for those who truly fit them. Not to mention, they're usually given to the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

    In the end, I'm complex. Blame my past for that, which I don't plan on indulging anyone on. Much too dark for me.

    That was sarcasm, Agent. I'm sorry I failed to give it a good enough representation. xD

    The only place I had a sample uploaded was Inheritanceforums.com, but the site is a crashed SoB. You won't be able to access it, as the server has been down for...Mhmm....Well, since October.

    Let me just say, I'm on Chapter 6. Would be finished, however I scrapped the entire first half of the book a few years ago and rewrote it.
