MY NEWSWORLD

NEW!! Changed my penname again, guys. I'm real sorry about it- but I just wasn't feeling the whole combined pennames thing. Plus, I've got a thing for Pride now. That kid's amazing.

Hey guys, I'm sorry I keep changing my penname, but I have to. I know people who are after my fanfics and I don't think they should see them... especially my ex.

I updated YNSARS today with an apology and author's note... don't look forward to a long chapter cuz I can't find my flashdrive... =_=

Uh... it's official. I've turned into a theatre kid... I'm a technician, not an actor by the way... Yes I am.

FMA Anime 2!! Whoa... whoa... whoa fansubs are not cool. But I do love Funimation for the official subs!

Okay, I just had to get rid of the old penname. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I just didn't like how it sounded especially with a band having to do with the same thing. So I switched it up to my favorite word and favorite role... SIDEKICK.

Uh, hey guys. More than likely, I have probably never personally met you before, so since I got some free time on my hands (actually, I got chapters to write, Into Thin Air to read and analyze, technical theatre to study, and and play some Rock Band, Gears, and Halo 3, but whatever), I guess I've decided to use that time to chill, listen to a few drum covers on YouTube, and rewrite this profile/biography of mine.

Name: As you should've read, I'm having a little dilemma with my penname. I had no idea it was a band so I have to go and change most things before I get sued or something. But a lot of you know me as FLAMETAL so I'm going to have to sorta kinda stick with it. I am also a sidekick. Yes, sidekick. I'll stick with that too I guess...

My age: If any of you are thinking I'm an old perverted geezer, well, I'm not. I'm a teenager like most of you who are reading this. That's it. Teenager. And I have my driving permit now.

Nationality: I am asian. Yay AZNs! AZN PRIDE! Filipino! Yay! Filipinos are awesome! Filipino Pride! (Not that I'm degrading the other races...) Yeah. Go Filipinos... Yeah.

Location: Well, I used to live in New Jersey, but now I don't! I'm now near Houston, TX... The boondocks of Houston, most would say.

Music: Uh... music. Duh. I can't live without my music. I'm an all around rock/alternative/screamo/emo fan. Any rock. Any alternative. Emo. Punk. Ska. Other types of the like. Music like that. I probably dig it. Unless they... suck. Big bands I'm into- like, I'm huge fans of them, are My Chemical Romance, Placebo, 30 Seconds to Mars, Matchbook Romance, Brand New..., I can't think of any more... But hell, it's a long list. I'm mean, by the time I'm done...Well...You would've skipped onto the next paragraph or something.

Okay, that should be enought right?

Maybe not. You want to know about me, so... yeah. This is whatcha get.

Ambitions: Uh... Ambitions. Yeah. For the most part, whenever I sign off with an email, or a review reply, or chapter or something, I say something along the lines of this... Semper Fi... Yeah. It's Latin (the dead language... Oooh!) and it's full form is Semper Fidelis. If you know what that means, then you're awesome cuz you can speak Latin... Unless you know what it is cuz you know the U.S. military is awesome. Yeah, well, Semper Fi or Fidelis or whatever you want to refer to means this- Always Faithful. It's what they say in the USMC- that is, for you non-USA-people, the United States Marine Corps. And yup, that's what I want to be in. I want to be in the Marines. Hey, what can I say? Oh maybe, I'll be a novelist, too. Who knows? I also want to get into Princeton U. Believe it or not, I am a rather smart kid. The only thing is that a lot of people in my class are as well. Tough competition...

Writing Habits: As you can see... I write long. Long, hard, and a few beats around the bush. It's part of my style, so yeah. That's a warning. For those of you reading my major royai fic (which for the majority, you probably are on my bio cuz of that fic), then be warned. The first few chapters are small and short... sort of. I posted those in the summer where I was just going into 7th grade- meaning I just grad'd 6th. Of course, I've improved since then. So, here's the deal- first few chapters... a little vague on my POV. Then it gets longer... longer with small paragraphs, plenty of dialogue and humor. And then... I'm not gonna spoil anymore, but it gets longer and longer and the paragraphs tend to get larger and more in depth. I think the longest chapter was 25. But that's cuz Havoc practically wrote down 3 days worth in his 'journal'.

Uh... what else... Dunno. Hm.

Updates: Ipod is dead... Farewell, 2nd gen, 2 gb, silver Ipod nano. I'll miss you very much. I hope I get a new one before school starts.

School: Gawd, high school isn't that hard right? Well it's summer now and I'm an incoming soph. Can't wait for the most relaxing year of high school... Yeah. I'm a theatre kid, too. Yes, I'm in theatre. No, I don't act. It's called a techie. You know what "crew" is right? Yeah we'rethose guys who make everything look cool (just without theactors...). I've been moved from design techie, to booth techie, to utility. In the words of the director, "She is our go-to person for anything needing to be done on short notice." I can do just about anything really. I only have a fear of heights but that's it...

Anime: You were all waiting for this part right? Okay, here goes the list (not in any particular order...). I've shortened it down to the ones I'm really into at the moment and the ones I've finished... (No seriously, why won't the damn tab button work...)

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST:

How could you not see this coming? The day I first watched FMA was 6 Sept 05- yeah, a long time ago. That was the day ep 25 first aired (english dub) and is the main reason to as why I stuck with the show to the point of total obsession for three plus years.

Favorite Characters: Roy Mustang, Riza Hawkeye, Jean Havoc, Maes Hughes

Favorite Pairings: Even dumber, cuz of course my favorite pairings are the characters that are faved alone- Royai: Roy Mustang x Riza Hawkeye. Yah, trick, yah (and no, I don't like that song).

DEATH NOTE:

I love watching shows like Forensic Files and Dr.G: Medical Examiner-shows that involve crime and law (but not those cheesy ones like Law and Order, and CSI, no offense). So it's only natural.

Favorite Characters: L, Near, Aizawa, Matsuda, and Mogi. Go sidekicks!

Hate 'em, but love 'em character: Mello... He's cool, but I don't like his hair... Then it growns longers and I'm like, "Oh, he's cool now."

BLOOD PLUS (cuz the site won't allow a real plus sign)

Favorite Characters: David, Okamura, and Lewis... I guess (again, go sidekicks! No one ever likes these guys)

Favorite Pairing: I'm laughing my 455 off right now, cuz I'm thinking how I'm into pairings where the pair are like in their 20s or 30s or something: David and Julia- they are overlooked and underrated, but crucial characters. Frickin' A, man.

Hate 'em, but love 'em character: Van Argeno... He pisses the hell out of me, but he's frickin' A' at the same time! I mean a French guy (hah, guess who VA'd him? Crispin Freeman, once again...) with his old people candy and white suit, but he's still cool. Somehow.

Well... I'll finish this later.

Semper Fi,

Sidekick.Kep
