Author has written 14 stories for Harry Potter.

"Two goldfish were in a tank. One turns to the other and says "You man the guns; I'll drive."

-somebody wittier than I

Gingham and Basil:

-is alive, contrary to popular rumour

-are one slightly obsessive, eccentric teenage girl with a passion for cliches and Dramione.

-are not two people, opposing that prevalent urban legend

-might have dual-personalities, though.

-is immortal (But sometimes she's just the square root of 289.)

-has a birthday on May 28

-has an odd sense of humour

-is of the lemon-basil variety. She found that out after much family tree searching, and the prompting of "Marmalade Fever"

-thinks you should go see Marmalade's profile

-sometimes i don't like using periods at the end of sentences Or commas for that matter

-has one dog, who is a coward and enjoys eating socks and used tissues

-has one greedy fish names Copernicus

-likes avocado a lot

-horseback rides--it is a SPORT, thank you very much. Also likes to run, but only thinks its fun if her dog and iPod accompany her.

-would love to be an author professionally, but knows that might never happen so instead will be an equine veterinarian. Also dabbles in couch-potato-ness and kidnapping (of famous stars and fictional book characters only).

-doesn't advise putting powdered milk or slightly ripe bananas in the microwave

-reads too much to be clinically healthy, and will probably lose her eyesight soon

-is not a boy

-will gladly spend HOURS with complete strangers and fellow fanfictioners discussing and analyzing and gushing about books if you ask her. Seriously.

-wants to be old enough to date Brad Pitt, CHRISTIAN BALE!! (YEAH FOR BATMAN!) William Moseley, SKANDAR KEYNES!!, Daniel Radcliffe, Elijah Wood, Sean Penn, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom or..gasp!..KARL URBAN. (Yes, she knows. She just swooned saying the name in her head, too.)

-she also loves Adrian Brody. His decrepit, morose, breathtaking character in The Pianist makes her weak in the knees..and other places...every time. Personally, it might be just the fact she gets melt-y and doe-eyed for any fellow pianist. A pianist is only truly understood by another, it has been observed.

-will watch marathons of BBC Masterpiece Theaters over and over and over and over with, again, anyone, if you are so unfortunate enough to be in her company

-wishes she was in a Harry Potter book

-is going to marry Skandar Keynes. He just doesn't know it yet.

-has a thing for Neville Longbottom and the Weasley twins.

-loves to illustrate. Would update her deviant Art, but is she is rather lazy, if you haven't noticed.

-has a major thing for the Beatles and for State Radio, but has an eclectic taste in music. Ask her about it sometime.

-wishes Putin had better hair. And if she has to look at him in the news and in Time magazine all the time then he should at least not be so pasty and shit.

-wishes she had an unhealthy obsession so she could be the poster child for weirdness.

-has a huge-fanatic-bigger-than-life-ridiculous-starry eyed crush on Skandar Keynes, who plays Edmund Pevensie in the Chronicles of Narnia. (He was born in 1991.) Even though her best friend says Peter is hotter and her other best friend says Caspian is. (Which is good, because now she has him all to herself.)

-has seen "Prince Caspian" three times, and the song "The Call" still gives her goosebumps. It was an amazing soundtrack, from an emotional and compositional perspective

-loves James Murray, of Primeval. He played Stephen Hart, who is in G&B's opinion one of the hottest zoologists EVAH! He rams marauding man-eating dinosaurs with cars, knows how to use a gun, has a magically sexy ability to track anything through any kind of weather in any terrain, and says things like "Pick on someone your own size." Swoon, much?

-has been playing piano for 9 years. Is talented. She also annoys certain family members by playing hit Disney singles. A lot. Repeatedly.

-wonders why anybody would have read this far

-is disgusted by Twilight--the books and the movies--but can not help drooling madly over Taylor Lautner and Alex Meraz. Alex Meraz plays Paul, the bad boy werewolf in New Moon the MOOVEE. He is smexy. And ferocious. And did she mention a dancer with body like toffee colored...stuff?? I don't know. Unfortunately he is married and has a child. She must resort to stalking look-a-likes, then.

-she feels that the only redeeming part in the whole Twilight debacle is that fact that there are Native Americans presented as major characters, and that they are kickass at certain points.

-has come to the realization that she is somewhat superficial. More than.

-laughs because it has been so long since she has been on here. Take that society!

-also today written on a desk at school she found this: "Hah i just wrote on this desk take that society!" she doesn't know if it was meant to be farce, facetious, or fanatical.
