Hello, I am Ariel, also known as R. E. L, also known as C-4, no longer known as Cr4ck3d Sku11. Welcome to my world. This is a page about myself. Here you can find out everything you want to know and even the stuff you don't.

About my many names then... Ariel is my real first name I do not, nor never will, publish my real last name online because I have a certain respect for Internet Predators and Identity Thieves. Please, if you are someone who knows me in the real world, make note of that. R. E. L. is my pen name and stands for Really Entertaining Lies. ...because that what I really like to write. C-4 is my highly explosive online personification. A lot like me only different.

I'm crazy about the color blue. Seriously...CRAZY.... I like all kinds of blue and I attempt to decorate every thing that I own with blue. My bed is blue. If I had my own room. It would have blue walls. My hair is often blue. If I had money I would have my cheep old car painted blue. You may have noticed that my current website is blue. The old one was blue too but not quite as nice.

I am addicted to thrills. Ever since I was old enough to walk I've dearly loved to climb atop the highest thing I could find and throw my self off. at home it was usually tables, dressers and my favorite bunk-bed. If my mother had no other choice but to take me shopping with her I would do swan dives out of the shopping cart. As I got older I would find new and more thrilling places to leap off of. I would even make a game out jumping down flights of stairs and play with my sibling. I always won of course because I was the only one crazy enough to jump from the top stair. One day when my parents were away I discovered that I could climb the rock facing on our four-story split level house and enjoyed the thrills of jumping off the roof. Of course my mother worried a lot and would always warn me that one of these days I was going to break my skull open. Ha! But, of course, being the little thrill devil I was, I believed I was invincible. As time went on, I inevitably got heavier, and hitting the ground became more painful. In essence, I eventually grew out of my jumping mania. But, I still enjoy a decent thrill and there ain't nothing I'm afraid to try.  In truth, I still think I'm invincible. (or rather, I have a superb guardian angel) In all my nineteen years I've never once broken a single bone. I've also got super awesome healing powers. Whenever I do get cuts or sprains I heal extremely fast. Not quite Wolverine but, pretty darn close. Even the worst scars tend to disappear unexpectedly.

I like to draw. I'm not very good or anything but I like to do it.

I like to entertain. Entertaining is my life. Entertainment for free is my mission. Unfortunately that poses somewhat of a problem. I mostly write stories because it's the only form of entertainment I can easily produce on a low income. I also run a small theatre company that is non-profit, funded by the church, and trouped by volunteers. If I could afford a video camera I would do amateur movie productions. But, for now, I write. Because of this, most of my writing is scripts. I have a few short stories (and long ones) that are proper book material but, they are few and in between. If I was a better artist I would make some of the scripts into graphic novels. I've tried commissioning others to do it for me but, it always gets too expensive. Oh well, for now, I go to school and learn how to become rich so that in the future I'll make big bucks and be able to create the best free entertainment in the world.

I like to read a lot. Isaac Asimov and Terry Pratchett are my favorites. I also enjoy reading and rereading the Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Stuff I really enjoy tends to be either really complex and dark or ingeniously humorous. Stuff that evokes strong emotional response...one way or the other.

Some days I like to just vegetate in front of the TV. I'm a very harsh critic and will watch only the choicest shows or the best movies. I do not have cable or much very many movies, so the vegging doesn't actually happen a lot. Good movies only happen once in a blue moon. When they do I'll go to the theatre and buy the DVD when it comes out. Otherwise, short and funny will do it for me and I'll only take that in rentals. I do play some video games. I prefer PC games. Car racing is my brainless fun spree but, complex puzzle solving is my all-time favorite (especially when combined with awesome graphics). Myst would be a good example.

I guess that says just about everything. If you would like to know anything else about me just email me at outoftheblu3@hotmail.com and I'll add to this page. If you want to contact me for any other reason or expect a response you may be disappointed. I'm a busy person and often very stressed. If you eventually do get a response it may not make very much sense.

Cheers!      

Ariel
