Name: Maia Vida
Profession: Dreamer. Literally. I sleep a lot.
Age: My grown-up age is 23. After that, I just feel old.
I love to talk. Not technically talk, as the literal meaning, but just type my little fingers off. See, I feel like I can express myself better thru writing than speaking. I dont consider myself good, as the creative aspect goes, but I can pretty much get my message across. So when it comes to job applications and rather random questions like “how would you rate your writing skills?” I would probably rate myself somewhere between 8-10. Just because I am more comfortable in doing so rather than say, speak out loud. And no, I’m not one to shut up, though. I talk. I’m very outspoken too. Its just that, between the two, i would rather write. I think this about page is testament to that 😛
I’m Filipino, which explains the title of my project. I’ve recently moved to California (well, 3 yrs in May but I still think its pretty recent) to be with my husband. To those smart-asses who are thinking I’m a mail-order bride, save yourself the embarassment. Not everyone who marries here marries for papers. There are more important shit than immigration. All of it, are my reasons. And that’s all I have to say about that.
I’ve written a couple stories in the past. Most of them fanfictions that are very emo-ish. Yes, people, I have finally admitted that. I am hoping this project can flush the emo out of me and hope that I can reach a point when I can finally say, Yes, I’m a writer. Because at this point, I feel like I still dont deserve to be called a writer. I have loads to learn and loads to observe.
I’m just growing up. My hero has always been Peter Pan because I’m such a kid, it ridiculous. Growing up really has taken its toll on me. And I’m hoping this project brings back the kid in me. I hope I can find myself thru this thing I’m doing.

I would probably rate myself somewhere between 8-10.
>Two things:
1.What’s the scale? I mean, what’s the lowest and highest of it?
2.I remember Steven Wright going, “On a scale of one to ten, six being the highest…” That dude makes me laugh.
This is a good write. Free therapy. Let’s get paid doing this.
I just thought of something:
“how would you rate your writing skills?”
>My answer would be: I’m much more comfortable writing it out than rating myself. I’ll give you a piece and then YOU rate it.
I’m having one of those days. It’s a week after my period.
After my major weight loss, I’m beginning to feel what hormones can really do to you. New at it.
