Although I can't profess to having a favourite author, a new found favourite is definately Stephan Crane:
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter -- bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
-from "Black Riders and other Lines", I highly recomend his lines and cryptically chilling short stories!
Of all things, I aspire to one day feel entitled enough to call myself a *writer* and to actually be one!
But as much as I love writing I often find myself with a dilemma, accutely expressed by Wordsworth, as...
'feelings that lie too deep for tears'.
And that is as far as my attempts at some sort of biographical introduction can take me,
Thanks for reading.

Capital on March 14, 2006of course I watched the cricket! Saw each record being broken and then broken again by SA- we so rocked! We still have more games against Australia coming up but I doubt this game will be forgotten soon.
I could never forget the 21st of March...counting down the days. Don't know what time I will be here again but I will look out for you!
