Well, you could probably figure out what my first name is by my username (it isn't "I" by the way). I just turned twenty-seven years old. I still live at home with my annoyingly idiotic parents. I work a crappy job in a garden nursery, even though I have a Bachelor's Degree in English. But then again, I do live in Northeastern Ohio, which is, as far as I am concerned is a cultural and economic wasteland. My best friend Jeremy, who I have been close to for sixteen years, got married to some horrid thing named Tabitha (he's pussy-whipped beyond recognition now and it sickens me).
But it's not all bad. Right now I am outlining a new writing project (a novel entitled "The Mortimer House"), which I hope to get off the proverbial ground. I have also applied for a Passport, which will enable me to travel to places I currently dream of at the moment (provided I save enough money). But make no mistake, I am just like the rest of you: socially awkward. I absolutely hate going out in public, even to stores. I also hate parties (unless I'm drunk). I loathe speaking before groups (I had a professor in college who made us do that and I wanted to kill the b!tch). And I am super-awkward among "the fair sex", even though in my experience there's nothing "fair" about them.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen of the forum, I am a bitter young man, just as I was a bitter teenagers, and just as I will be a fat, bitter, balding, drunken middle aged man who will probably die alone of some heart-related disease at the age of 44 (well, maybe not that young, but I do not see myself living past 50). I don't see myself as a family man, in fact the idea of a family sickens me too. A b!tchy wife and bratty kids yelling, screaming, and carrying on. No, I refuse to subject myself to that living hell. But it would be nice to socialize with people who aren't related to me (that's what I've been reduced to, you know).
Well, I can't imagine what you all must think of me.
The only things in life that give me any form of joy are escapism (reading books, watching films or TV shows, and playing video games) and writing fiction. That's about it really.

I use to draw when my age was in the single digits. I was never really good at (probably why I switched to writing at age twelve). Still, it's good for people like us to express ourselves creatively, whether it's writing (prose, poetry, or drama), drawing/sketching, painting, sculpting, dancing, singing, playing a musical instrument, filmmaking, or acting. It's our only form of release.
Hey welcome to SPW man. My name is Lucas too, haha, but nobody really calls me that... I also enjoy escaping from life's twisted scope of reality. I used to draw and write a lot actually and I was pretty good at both... Then I started playing guitar at 15, but I've had 5 years of that and I'm not really furthering myself much musically anymore haha (I can't be creative in front of other people with my guitar...must be part of this anxiety shit...pisses me off sometimes...) so I think I'm going to start drawing and writing more again. I used to be alright at sculpting too back in high school too. Haha one time I made this like 8" tall toilet out of some clayish stuff and it won awards and shit at an art show my teacher sent it too haha.
I've just never actively pursued writing or art as a hobby at home really, since I was like 15 at least... I'm 20 now... I made a lot of pencil drawings at home, but i did much writing beyond school and online lol. I've always done very well in writing classes and such though, so I dunno where I got that from...
Anyways, yeah I'm gonna defintely start on kickstarting my creativity by sketching some crazy designs and transferring them to my walls in my bedroom. Haha can you tell I have no life? I think our gifts are what we should follow though, so here goes nothing... I was even planning on starting a t-shirt company or learning how to make guitars for a living so yeah now that I think of it I finally feel good about the road I'm on. I don't need to be rich or anything, just happy doing what I'm doing. Getting joy out of your job, I think, is very important in our human existence...That's probably why I've changed my mind dozens of times on what I want to do with my life haha....
I'm rambling so I'll zip it up now...
Welcome! Cool I'm really into art too, it helps me escape a lot. I got into a good art college recently, dunno if I'll go though. I can't express myself properly when in a class environment anyway due to crippling anxiety
