I like to write stories. I will hopefully be writing one soon. I have an idea for a short story, but don't have an actual plot, which is a problem.
I found recently that I really like "Three's Company". I was watching it once, long ago, and my mom made a comment that she didn't particularly like the show. After that, I would see it on TV every once in awhile, but browse past it, looking for something better, figuring it wasn't really all that good. It just so happened that I decided to give it another try recently and watched an episode. And you know what? I really liked it.
The characters are great. Chrissy, well, she's stupid, but she does such a good job at it. She is really an amazing character and I think she'd be really fun to write for.
Me, I love to write. I'm just not all that good at coming up with original characters. So, why not write for characters that already exist? I guess that's why all my writing is fan fiction based on rock stars and whatnot.
Of course, I can't really write all that well for rock stars because I don't really know them. But who do I know? I know myself. So I'm also in a lot of my stories. I also know my friends, and they pop up as main characters thrown into my crazy world of rock and roll as well.
Is that weird? Do other people write fictional adventures of themselves and their friends?
This is going to sound totally narcissistic, but I would love to have me as a friend. I would love to have a crazy friend who writes crazy stories about me. Maybe my real friends just think I'm weird and creepy. I don't know. But I'm going to keep on being weird and creepy and writing stories about them whether they like it or not, I guess.

Most of my friends have appeared in a story at one time or another, especially during NaNoWriMo. ;)
