EXAM COUNTDOWN: (24/5/09) X X X - - - -(16/6/09)

X=DONE
(This is just so you have an idea of when I'll be back and updating - although at the moment I've been working a lot on TMATR during my "study breaks", so I may end up publishing it before the end of exams... Yeah, I'm that much of a slacker where study is concerned.)

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME THAT YOU MAY FIND INTERESTING, IRRELEVANT OR TOTALLY COMA-INDUCING!

1. I like to write. You may have noticed, what with this profile being on a fanfiction site and all... No? Well, now you know.
2. I like to read. That's sort of a given, I suppose, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. (And no, this profile will not consist only of stupid obvious information.)
3. I figure skate. Started lessons when I was five, learned some stuff, fell on my butt a few too many times to count, pretty much failed (i.e. I'm still working on my doubles. How pathetic is that?).
4. HARRY POTTER IS MY LIFE. I will not tolerate people saying the T word is the new Harry Potter, because it's just not humanly possible. As far as I'm concerned, Rowling has reached a level of genius on a plane not attainable to us mere mortals. (But although I... disagree... with Twilight, I must say that Jacob Black is one AWESOME werewolf. Although not as awesome as our Remus Lupin, of course.)
5. I must confess I'm a Disney Channel freak, which is sad considering I don't even get the Disney Channel (thank Merlin for YouTube!) and one of my major goals in life is to meet the Jonas Brothers. Yes, I'm one of those girls. But hey, at least I'm not convinced I'm going to marry one of them (hides prepared wedding vows behind back; whistles innocently). I love TSL, Wizards and JONAS - and Hannah Montana's not half bad either (although I watch it mostly - only - for Lily and Oliver).
6. Other TV shows? Friends, Charmed, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl.
7. Movies? All the Harry Potters, Stardust, Camp Rock, HSM (mostly number three), Now and Then, LOTR, Star Wars, X-Men, Zoolander, Blades of Glory, The Cutting Edge.
8. Music? Fall Out Boy, Jonas Brothers (but of course), Taylor Swift, Snow Patrol, Matchbox 20, Evanescence, Evermore, Santana, Meg&Dia, Jordin Sparks.
9. I come from the great white north and now inhabit the land down under. Pretty drastic change. But I love both Canada (NOT Canadia) and Australia :)
10. I play nerdy computer games. That is, Zoo Tycoon, Petz 5 and The Sims 2. My brother even gets me to play Halo on occasion. Did I just admit that? Oh, deary me...
11. Orange juice is the elixir of life. It really is, as long as it's pulp-free. I couldn't live without it.
12. While we're talking food, here's one word for you: SNICKERS.
13. I'm severely superstitious concerning several things. For that reason, this number will not be made an official fact per se.
14. There are five copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher/Sorceror's Stone in my household. I'm serious. And there are at least two copies of all the other books.
15. I have about four times the amount of hair most people have, and it's incredibly annoying. It's also an irritating shade of not-blonde-not-brown that bugs me. I guess my hair is just generally annoying.
16. I hate fruit and unmelted cheese.
17. Someday I'm going to be a published author.
18. I love puns. Beware: my stories tend to be filled with them. Ever heard of the Sirius pun? If by some crazy miracle you haven't, you'll be hearing it many times if you read as much as the first chapter of TMATR (The Marauders and the Rogues).
19. Cats are better than dogs. Deal with it.
20. I am a major, MAJOR procrastinator. I actually have a poster on my wall (along with my many Jonases, Taylor Lautners, etc.) that says "It can be done. It should be done. It shall be done... tomorrow." I've had it since I was about eight, so I guess you could say procrastination is a pretty old habit for me.
21. I collect small plastic frogs and rubber ducks of all shapes and sizes! (It's such an exciting hobby that I just can't contain my glee!)
22. Two is my lucky number. Twenty-two therefore holds double the luck. (Yeah, I know it's toddler math - as in 2+5=25 - but it makes sense... in my mind.)

My favourite books include: Harry Potter (namely the fourth and seventh books, but they're all absolutely amazing), Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (the second most sacred series on my bookshelf), the Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray, Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter, the Guardians of Time Trilogy by Marianne Curley, Tattoo by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Fire Bringer and The Sight by David Clement-Davies, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants by Anne Brashares.

I don't normally like to copy and paste things into my profile, but this one was too good to resist:
98 percent of teenagers do drugs, have sex, and drink alcohol... put this in your profile if you like bagels!

MY STORIES:

The Marauders and the Rogues ("TMATR")
Pretty much your typical Marauder fic, only with a slight role change - Lily and her friends have their own mischief-making group (the Rogues) and their archrivals are the Marauders. Through many strange turns of events, the Marauders and the Rogues find themselves placed in close quarters; their rivalry flares and they try to find a way to bridge the gap. Set in the Marauders era. LxJ, SxOC, RxOC. There's even a girl for Peter, although he's gonna have one heck of a time getting her.
Up to Chapter Nineteen, moving at a snail's pace plot-wise.

The Labeled Age ("The one that isn't technically fanfiction but isn't original fiction either")
It's classified in Miscellaneous because it's fanfiction for a non-fiction book, "No Logo" by Naomi Klein. I wrote it for school, and it turned into a crazy, comedic sort of character study. Nobody reads or reviews it, but I see no reason to take it down.

There'll be more to come for sure. I've got ideas, but I currently have exams coming up so they'll have to be put on hold for a bit.
