Greetings, small and insignificant person! You have permission to bask in my glorious glow!
In other words: Hi! Nice to meet you!
Some stuff about me:
Name: It varies according to who I'm with, and my current mood. Hence my annoyingly vague and indecisive penname.
Age: It keeps changing...
Current location: The computer, in my house.
Race: A very strange mix of Irish (mum) and South African (dad).
Looks: Stunning. (Jokes.) Actually, longish, straight, dark blonde-brown-ginger hair, blue eyes, pale, freckly, quite tall and very "long-limbed" ie, gangly. I live in jeans and t-shirts and trainers.
In my humble opinion the best things on this planet are: chocolate, good fiction (published or here), animals, esp. horses, birds of prey and wolves, archery, sailing, ice skating, non-melodramatic poetry and puns, amazing people like Nelson Mandela, sunshine and heat, learning to speak other languages, and all my darling friends.
Also, I happen to think the worst things on this planet are: maths and science, pink, having cold feet (all the time - one of the many strange things about me), pasta, sexist/racist people, continually pessimistic people, and bad spelling and grammar.
My favourite books
At the moment I am obsessed with "Twilight", and I got my friend obsessed with it too! We were in town and we saw a sign that said "Edward's building plans" and started squeaking, and then we saw that it was right next to a shops called "Jake's". We nearly got arrested, we went so crazy. And also, what do all you people hate Jacob for? Sure, he's not incredibly gorgeous or immortal and he can be a bit perverted, but he helps Bella loads, he's funny and he's kind. You can't hate someone and rant about them just because they're not Edward.
I love Shakespeare. I wish I could write like that. Mercutio and Benvolio are together! The play should have been about their love. Much more interesting than Romeo and Juliet.
Artemis Fowl is a great read. But Artemis/Holly?! Are you people serious?! What part of "different species" do you not understand?! It's like us being in love with a chimpanzee! They are utterly different people, plus she will out-live him by several centuries, plus the size difference would make...certain things...near impossible. Oh, and I'm really not sure about Minerva - rants from either side are welcome!
The Casson family books by Hilary McKay are adorable and hilarious. Not many people have heard of them, but if you get a chance to read them, take it. I bet you'll love them.
There are hundreds more...but this profile is long enough already.
Some funny (I think) quotes to fill up space:
My best friend Tabbie - You look absolutely awful-
(Walks over to do something helpful to my hair, which didn't look too bad for me, and stubs her toe really, really hard on the cupboard.)
Tabbie - Stupid poetic justice!
I can cook anything perfectly if it fits into a toaster. - A funny keyring I found once. (And it's true!)
My art teacher (when we were all being stupid) - Listen! Sometimes it's as if you have clay in your ears!
Me - Come again?
Tabbie and me - Drink coffee (or coke)! It helps you do stupid things faster, and with more energy!
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried to slam a revolving door. - Unknown
And also, just about anything Captain Jack Sparrow ever said. So just go and watch the films. I will be far more entertaining than me just typing it all out.
There are lots of others...I'm just too lazy to think them up and then type them out. =D
All my copy-and-paste thingies:

Copy the bunny onto your profile to help him achieve world domination. Come join the dark side. (We have cookies)
If you have ever run into a tree, copy this to your profile! (I've done it on horseback, too. Not one of my finer moments. The stupid horse was fine; I still have the scar.)
If you have a crush on somebody, but you are afraid to say anything about it, then copy and paste this into your profile and add your name to the list. Don't worry, your secret is safe! Greenpool's loyalty, Brooksilver, Catland Creator, HollyluvsArty, Pepper Lemon, Second Daughter of Eve, TheManyFacesOfMe (So many guys...most of whom are fictional. How embarrassing.)
If you have embarrasing memories that make you want to smack yourself/someone else, copy this into your profile. (Yep, got lots of them, too!)
If you have ever fallen up the stairs copy this into your profile. (All the flipping time! And usually when I'm carrying something breakable.)
If you have ever pushed on a door that said pull or vise versa copy this into your profile.
98 percent of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2 percent who hasn't, copy and paste this in your profile. (I'm not sure of this only covers America, or if it includes the UK. But oh well.)
92 percent of teenagers would die if Abercrombie and Fitch told them it wasn't cool to breathe. Put this in your profile if you would be part of the 8 percent laughing your butt off. (I highly doubt the statistic is right, but it's funny and I definitely would be rolling on the floor of someone seriously said that.)
If you've ever copied and pasted something onto your profile, copy and paste this onto your profile. (Well, no!)
If your profile is long, copy and paste this on it to make it even longer!
If you don’t have much luck with technology copy this into your profile. (Absolutely. I shriek and hide whenever my computer does something I don't understand. Which is often. As my poor family and friends have found out.)
If you are a chocoholic copy this into your profile. (Ah, there are worse things to be addicted to.)
If you have ever purposefully done something like pushing a door labelled "pull", just so you could copy and paste the appropriate sentence into your profile...copy and paste this sentence into your profile!
If you've actually bothered to read down to here, have a medal!
The sad truth is that I am such a technophobe I cannot work out how to enter a story. If some very kind person would tell me, I would be much obliged. I would then write for a very long time, with much happiness. Actually, it's probably a good thing I don't know how. It is the only thing saving my social life.
