Hiya! I’m Aydia, senior by day, slightly more awake senior by night. I’m from Denver, Colorado. When I have free time, a rare occurrence, I love to write, read (Terry Pratchett, anyone?), and debate philosophy with my friends. I’m the president of my school’s Psychology Club and its Creative Writing Club, a powerlifter, a poet, and a member of speech and debate team. I enjoy making stories through both writing and acting, and I like to think of myself as an enthusiastic amateur in everything I do.

Allow Me to Paint a Picture of the Siren
Her two forms circle like the seasons:
Maiden and Monster
Deceptively innocent beauty;
Brilliant guillotine danger.
Life and death incarnate.
She is the Maiden, the dream,
Cloudfar sunsets, radiant; Aphrodite...
