You've probably guessed by now that I am not a real fourteen-year-old girl. I'm a 25-year-old writer based in New York. I used to run a site called A Short And Happy Life, where I would post a variety of things on a daily basis. One of those things was the chatlog adventures of Amber, a made-up teenage girl in California.
