I don't know what to put here, so I'm going to start saying random stuff that makes very little sense out of context and will hopefully make you laugh...oh, that's what I always do. Um...let me get back to you.

--About Me

Name: It starts with a K. That's all you should know. Just call me Zilo. (ZAI-low)
Nicknames: Short Stuff, Little One, Shorty, Zilo (obviously), Sugar, Weeble, Biscuit, BB, Tiny Sis
Age: 21
Height: Unfortunately, without my platform footwear, I only get up to 5'1''. How mean is that?
Weight: ...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Ethnicity: Black, African American, Negro--take your pick!
Location: Somewhere in the Central Time Zone.
Hair: Off-black with orangey-brown streaks, chin-length
Quote: "That's the best!" and "Whuh?"
Personality: Well, I'm one of those kinds of people that is really shy and quiet until I get to know you, and then I become much more relaxed and talk away. I scare easily, and I'm generally nice, unless you piss me off. When I'm around my friends, I am much more relaxed and, well, unhinged. When I have to be, I can be quite sarcastic at a normal volume. I also love being funny and random. If you hit on me, I will glare at you and order you to go away. I use big words a lot, and not even on purpose.

Fav. Anime:
Let's just say I like a lot of anime and manga and leave it at that.

Things I Like
Ramen, instrumentals, techno, eating with chopsticks, making friends, smiling, saying and doing funny things, hanging with friends, watching anime, reading books and manga, writing, drawing manga, looking up stuff on Wikipedia, reading the thesaurus, the color green, painting, nachos, roleplaying, listening to music, looking up stuff on TVTropes, cosplaying, unprofessional dancing, power ballads, fruit, running up and down the stairs, Googewhacking, Photoshopping, AMVs, experimenting in the kitchen, bike riding, starting trends, rambling, driving, the library, getting along, fanfics, going clothes shopping, making my own accessories.

Things I Dislike
Smug people, people with constantly dirty hands, someone changing the channel without my permission, spicy foods, overly sweet things, really sad endings, long movies, the Discovery Health Channel, dumb people, dumb people who don’t want to change, bashers, perverts, people who say I "act white", being interrupted, scrubs, thugs, guys who don't get the hint that I don't want to go out with them, underwear showing, dial-up, upskirt anime, cockroaches, onscreen barfing, onscreen kissing, math, changing voice actors, psychopath feminists, psychopath animal rights activists, April Fools' Day, pessimism, fake tans, hatred, lack of depth perception, name-calling, the words "right-wing" together in any context for any reason, religious psychopaths, debates, phlegm, bad grammar, killing off minorities on TV, homeschool stereotypes, greens.

Some Random Facts About Me
I can actually sense whenever electronic devices like TVs or computers are on or off, even if I'm not looking or in another room.
I talk in my sleep, and apparently I can also ask and answer questions in my sleep.
My laughter sounds like a dog yelping in pain. When it doesn't sound evil, that is.
I sneeze into my elbow.
I'm double-jointed. My best trick is my "basket hands" or turning my feet around.
I'm a Christian.
I can use my feet like hands--that is, I can pick up something small with my foot and transfer it to my hand.
I like to invent swear words or swear in Japanese.
I always have nail polish on my toenails, usually multicolored.
I'm left-handed, but I do a lot of things with my right hand, such as open cans, use the computer's mouse, cut hair, etc.
I adore funny socks, leg warmers, arm warmers, and homeade accessories.

--About My Writing/Reading

Things I Like (in fanfiction)

Good plots, good-sized chapters, interesting and well-thought-out OCs, funny OOC stories, parental RoyEd stories, parodies, friendship EnvyEd stories, stories that are just the right length, people who respond to my reviews, really original ideas, lots of reviews, long reviews, really encouraging reviews, funny reviews, good characterization, cliché-bashing stories, good constructive criticism, honest reviewers who tell you when you need to fix stuff, well-written EdxOC.

Things I Dislike (in fanfiction)

Mary Sues, really short chapters, really long chapters, really long stories, really sad stories, badly-written anybodyxOC pairings, flamers, bashers, overused cliches with nothing new to add, people who don’t bother to spell check, yuri, yaoi, lemons and limes (and grapes and kumquats), OOC when it isn’t supposed to be funny, killing off Al (WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE DO THAT?), killing off Ed, OCs related to main characters, heavy swearing, EnvyxOC pairings.

When I write...

I welcome encouraging reviews and constructive criticism. Feel free to point out any typos, because that's the only way I'll get better at it. (So I can whack my beta(s) over the head with a frying pan...maybe) But flames, no. They're lame, and usually the people who write them are just being mean for the sake of being mean. I like to be told if I'm doing something wrong so I can fix it, not called names and told I just suck without any reason.

No romance for me, no siree. Hints I'm fine with, but I absolutely suck at sappy love scenes. Whenever I write pairings, I don't write them like they're normally written. Honestly, they're written more like close friends than a pairing. So I don't even bother.

And I try so hard not to be OOC if it's not an AU story. I really do.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I usually don't do sad endings. I hate crying over my own stories, which is what happens if the ending is sad. I can do some good angst in the middle, but as long as it turns out happy, I'm good.

I love co-writing with people. I've co-written twenty different stories (though only a few were shown to the public) and I'm always willing to co-write with someone. However, I do prefer that they have at least some spelling and grammar skills, otherwise I will explode.

When I make OCs, I try to make them actually human, and usually try to go for unusual traits and plots so they don't turn into Mary-Sues. It seems I've been successful so far, yay!

And of course, if you want to see the art I've drawn myself for TSG (and some other stuff) visit my DeviantArt page!

If you realized your "copy-and-paste" section got so huge that it frightened little children, copy and pa--actually, don't copy and paste this. It might add to the problem. And the last thing we need is MORE frightened children. So if you've realized the above, cut that section in half (or get rid of it altogether), and give the kids some candy to calm their fears.

Story Quotes
Below are some funny quotes from stories, my own and other people's.

Marik: Let’s see...Seto beats Joey up, Seto beats Ryou up, Seto beats Tristan up, Seto beats an innocent car up, Seto beats his chauffeur up, Seto beats his kindergarten teacher up, Seto beats a CD player up, Seto beats a clerk up, Seto beats a clown up, Seto beats a former pope--
Seto: Okay, we get it. --Exposed! by Sora-chan the Brave And Random

Izumi: That’s exactly what I’m saying, and please continue to speak to me in that tone if you have no more use for your front teeth. --The Switch Glitch

Ed: Bullshit.
Annora: Cows shit too, but they don't brag about it. --What One May Never See by Wandering Hitokiri

Seto: Of course, that’s when they mention Tristan at all. It seems he’s the second most omitted character in all these stupid stories.
Serenity: Who’s the most omitted?
Seto: Odion.
Marik: Is that why he didn’t get invited to this meeting?
Seto: Yep. He’s being omitted again. --Exposed! by Sora-chan The Brave And Random

Lust: Fine. Then let’s go plot to kidnap that brown-haired kid using a deep pit, a giant robot, and a plan that’s destined to fail. --Pokémists: Pocket Alchemists

Rei (talking about Kyoya): It’s like all he does when he’s at home is lock himself in a room, sit in a corner, and laugh maniacally as he thinks of ways to torture us. –Tsunagaru, Tied Together by Animegirl123456

Risty May: Well, if you’re not here to kill me or beat me up, what is it then? Kidnapping? Mugging? Um...defamation of character? --The Switch Glitch

Roy: The Princess is a demon?
Ed: This is backstory. --The Wizard And The Wyrm by Demus

Chiyo: Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m about to pass out… (passes out) --Inside Inuyasha by 11chiyochan

Ed: And another thing, stop murdering me!! “It makes good angst,” does not make me feel any better about dying multiple times! --A Note To The Fangirls From Edward Elric by AdventureAddict (or is it...?)

Envy: I’M NOT A DAMN TREE, YOU STUPID DEAD PEOPLE! IF YOU WEREN’T ALREADY DEAD, I’D KILL YOU! --review response in The Switch Glitch

Cammy: Ma'am, I've had an exhausting day. I've just been dumped into the middle of the wilderness by a maniac, beat the love of my life with a crow bar, and allowed my friends to walk straight into a trap. Can I please, please, just have a room? --The Puppet Master by Glitch in the System

Ed: What happened to you? Why are you out here in the dark?
Cassandra: I like the dark. I ran away from home because my parents beat me and yell at me and do terrible things to me.
Ed: Oh, how tragic! You must be so miserable, being the tragic heroine who shows absolutely none of the realistic psychological effects that accompany abuse! --The Starburst Alchemist by Taranova

Ishizu: Who threw my brother out of a seventeen-story window? --Exposed! by Sora-chan The Brave And Random

Zilo: Hey, don't let it bug you, Ed, we don't have any Elric brand cars. If they make one, I'll be the first one to STEAL--er, I mean, LEGALLY BUY, one. ­–Advice Column by BakaKonekoRKL

Now, you know, that sounds really familiar. I wonder where I heard that exact same history before!
That was sarcasm by the way. –Jackie vs The MarySue by Ailia Sparrowhawk

--Afterword

You can find me on DeviantArt, YouTube, GaiaOnline, (zilonshidainsane) Yahoo!, Twitter, Facebook, and some other places I can't remember. If you go to Texas, point north, and start walking, eventually you'll run into my place. While you're there, please bring me fuzzy socks and hot beverages. I'm cold.

Ja!
