My name is Amy, I'm 23 and I live in a sleepy village in Staffordshire, England. There is a bigger animal population than people. It's a little like Royston Vasey!
I love reading and writing, in fact I spend the majority of my day running through someone elses life in my head. I love fantasy, something which I hold my mother and older brother responsible for. I wish there were enough hours in the day to live life and spend ten hours writing. Unfortuantely that is not the case so I balance real life and fiction as best I can. I'm loving Rob Thurman and the moment but her books don't have a category of their own yet. Which means looking for them is a nightmare. There is, however, a C2 group for the fics online, called a Bug in my Coke. Lol.
I have a deep-seated love for medieval history. Yes, I am a geek - a self professed geek, but a geek nevertheless. So much so that I've even started a blog for the reign of the King I'm studying. See, told you I was a geek! Anywho for those of you interested in learning a little about Edward the Second.
I love researching and finding out random useless information. I'm not particularly good at remembering said information but at least the thought is there. In my short but unique life I've done a number of different jobs. I was even a nurse for a while. Trust me when I tell you doctors in real life are not like they are on ER or Greys. There are no McDreamy's in NHS hospitals and if there are they do not exist in any of the departments I've worked in.
I love TV and I watch pretty much every show I can get my hands on. I love CSI, CSI: Miami (once you can get passed Horatio Caine's sunglasses thing it's pretty good) and I used to really like One Tree Hill. The new season isn't really doing it for me, though, which is disappointing. It's four years later and they're all 21 or whatever. Honestly, the entire cast has looked 21 since the first season. I'm loving the new Sarah Connor Chronicles. I wasn't entirely sure how that was going to pan out but it's really good so far. Heroes is amazing. I loved Firefly - before they cancelled it. Damn them. Dexter -that whole concept is wonderful. Sadly enough, Kyle XY. It's crap but for some reason I keep coming back to watch it. Dirty Sexy Money. If you haven't seen it, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Grey's Anatomy. Jericho - thank god they brought it back! Power to the fans!! Who says we don't have a voice? Dare I say it, but Lost. My interest waivered in the third season but I got back into it due to some incredibly persistant friends and have really enjoyed the latter part of that season. Doctor Who and Torchwood. I gave Gossip Girl a go, but it was like watching Cruel Intentions 2. Nothing good can ever come of that. Gilmore Girls when it was still going. Traveller was amazing. Still can't understand why it was cancelled. Stupid TV networks. I was getting into Bionic Woman before the strike and I hope they pick it back up. Although there is something weird about seeing Zoe Slater from EastEnders doing an american accent and not screaming in cockney rhyming slang. And, of course, Supernatural. What's not to love? Two incredibly sexy boys, travelling in an incredibly sexy car, kicking seven shades of crap out of ghosties?? See, I'm a junkie.
I'm a member of SFTCOLARS. There are some of the most talented writers there, not to mention great friends. I also write on another site called The Gumboot Mafia. There are some really fantastic people and writers on there. It includes FF and also original pieces. I recently also started my own website with all my FFs on. I'm hoping I can eventually get all my Original work on too, but that won't be for a while. My schedule sucks at the moment.
If you want to talk to me, my msn add is i_just_wanna_live_85@hotmail.co.uk or ames449 if you have AIM/AOL.
Email is ames449@googlemail.com or garfield_ac@yahoo.co.uk. Don't email me on my hotmail, you won't get any reply because it doesn't exist as a webaddress.
I am also one of these sad people who blogs. My blog is called The Lifestyles of the Neither Rich nor Famous.
