Hello, I am cto10121, avid reader/lover of countless of books, and author of Harry Potter, Inuyasha, and Twilight fanfiction. I am a nerd who usually does really well in school and also an aspiring author. By misfortune or sheer masochistic tendencies you have purposefully ventured into the dark fortress of my profile. If you decide to ignore my warning and venture alone, well...it was nice knowing you. I will not take responsibility with whatever mental, er, issues you may or may not have gained from reading this very long profile. So, let's move on, shall we?

TOTR (If interested, please read for more information)

I'm also writing a novel, completely Harry Potter-and-Inuyasha-free-non-fan fiction-related a romance novel. Yeah, yeah, I'm a sap, happy now? It's called Thorn of the Rose, and it's a fantasy/romance. I'm not bothering to give you a whole, long, summary about the story, since it'll take too much space, but the general summary is this: two teenagers from rival families meet and gradually fall in love, but their love is forbidden. A sort of a Romeo and Juliet plot line, but it is a lot more complicated. For the story, I created a whole world (which explains the "fantasy" part) and I've put almost every kind of mythical creature I can think of. And...yeah.

UPDATE: Also, I written a different, better summary to Thorn of the Rose! Way better. At least, according to my dad. So I decided to delete my old summary (which was absolutely horrible) and replace it with this one! Here it is:

“Thorn of the Rose” Summary

Thorn of the Rose” is a novel about two star-crossed lovers and their passionate, forbidden love set in the backdrop of a fantasy world of Sylica, human-like creatures roam, gifted with fantastical powers…and deadly, vindictive passions.

The Lurames and Garcias, two very powerful and prominent families, have been enemies since the day Carlos Garcia and Salvador Lurame’s brotherly friendship was torn asunder by a beautiful gypsy witch. A curse, placed on the two families by a malicious witch, has plagued them, and the two bitter families have known nothing but heartbreak and tragedy since. All the while the fire of their hatred for each other burned on, unheeding and unchecked for almost 90 years...until one day, two destined lovers from the two families were born.

Seymour Lurame, a Sylican boy raised by his bitter aunt, is perpetually tormented by nightmares of his parents’ piercing screams, longing desperately to escape the small, boring, oppressive town of Madene and bitterly wishing to one day avenge his parent’s death. Senelle Rodriguez of Garcia, a clever, yet plain Lilcette girl, is burdened with a dysfunctional family that does not understand her, and has been shunned by the majority of her peers because of her intimidating intelligence. By Fate or chance, these two troubled teenagers meet, fall hopelessly in love, and marry, despite their families’ mindless feud and society’s frowning disapproval. Their happiness is brief, however, as a greater, more dangerous threat arises, not only to their blooming love, but their very lives. Will their love manage to survive in the sea of opposition…or be extinguished in the endeavor?

A modern fantasy interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, cto10121 blends drama, romance, tragedy, suspense, and betrayal into one intense, wholly compelling (A/N: Hah! I wish) novel.

There you go! So much improved. Hope it wasn't terribly confusing for you guys who actually take that minute of their time to read this!

Reviews for Thorn of the Rose

"A remarkable, dazzling book. It is hard to believe that a thirteen-year-old could have an imagination of such a high scale that she can create a whole world with endearing, realistic characters. I must say, I'm quite impressed. Keep on writing in the future!"-J.K. Rowling

Author's Response: Holy Merlin! J.K. Rowling reviewed me! And she liked my story! I...feel...faint...can't...breathe...(faints)

"This story was weird; I didn't like it at all. And by the way, WHY'D YOU MAKE WITCHES AND WIZARDS SO UNIMPORTANT!-Ron Weasley

Author's Response: Because, Ronniekins, if I made witched and wizards the exact same way as J.K. Rowling had them made, I would get sued by her, and I don't want that; making my favorite author angry is the last thing I would ever want to do.

"Can you believe they have sex in this book? I am distraught! Surely the author knew better not to add sex in her book?"-Hermione Granger

Author's Response: Relax, Hermione, breathe! As you have found out the hard way, this is not a little kid story in which the helpful little fairies help find the pretty unicorn's lost horn and they find it and they all live happily ever after. This has been defined as literature, which means talking a small piece of everyday life and putting it in writing. Do the math: One hormonal teenager plus one hormonal teenager equals SEX!

"The author is right, Hermione; you really need to loosen up. If we were in the protagonist's place, we'd probably do the same thing."-Ron Weasley

"Ronald Bilus Weasley! You did NOT just say that!-Hermione Granger

"Oh, will you two quit bickering like an old married couple! This isn't a place to hold your freaky conversations! Now, for my review: the story's okay. I liked the main character, Seymour. I quite admire him."-Harry Potter

Author's Response: Thank you, Harry, for setting them in their place. Merlin, they are together for Pete's sakes, and they still can't help arguing! Jeez...wait a sec, Harry Potter liked my story! Fan girl squeal!

"This must be the most unpleasant, revolting story I ever had the misfortune to read! The beginning was fine UNTIL the characters found that they are in love with each other. I almost barfed! Merlin, why did you have to make it a romance story with love in it? Why not just lust? I'd much rather have lust than love, of all the weak, human emotions. I did, however, like the villainess in this book. Maira, is she called? Hmm...I wonder if you could introduce us sometime..."-Tom Marvolo Riddle, a.k.a. Lord Voldemort

Author's Response: I'm going to pretend that you did not just insinuate what I thought you insinuated. Now then, Tommy, just because you are less than a man and have never loved in your whole life does not mean you should harp on my novel. My main characters love each other: Deal with it!

"A witty, rather intellectual novel. I must admit that I am quite impressed, (which, in itself, is a rarity) although romance novels are admittedly not my cup of tea; the incessant drama is most irritating. However, you've managed to piece a decent romance novel quite nicely. The symbolism is very rich and the dialogue is both witty and intellectually satisfying. Kudos on your fine achievement."-Artemis Fowl

Author's Response: That means a lot, Artemis, coming from you. I thank you most profusely for your review.

"Heh, heh. We like story. Especially the two henchmen. They are so funnily stupid. Heh, heh."-Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.

Author's Response: Guess where I got the inspiration?

"Finally! A romance book that isn't corny! A miracle! The Apocalypse is nigh! Seriously, I liked the book. You make it so liberal, so unlike the conservative trash we have to put up with nowadays. I totally like the protagonists's rebellion against their parents and society! I also like how you make things very realistic, even though you made up a whole new world. Very cool."-Sam Manson.

Author's Response: I'm glad to see that someone likes my controversial, liberal ideas, instead of challenging them all the time! Such a nice change, a welcome relief! Thanks, Sam.

"I have only one thing to say: Dude, where's the sci-fi, the high-tech technology? All this romance is killing me!-Tucker Foley

Author's Response: This isn't science-fiction, Tucker. It's fantasy/romance! "Fantasy" meaning magic, or something closely related to magic anyways. Sorry to disappoint you, Tuck.

"The author's right, Tuck; quite harping on it for God's sakes. Anyways, I kind of liked the story as well, but if I didn't know this was a romance novel, I wouldn't have figured out that Seymour and Senelle would get together. I mean, I couldn't find anything that said that they would get together, what with them kind of half-fighting all the time in the beginning of the book. I completely took me by surprise. By the way, since this is a fantasy story, why weren't there any...say, ghosts in there?"-Danny Fenton (Phantom)

Author's Response: Abigail's right, you are so hopelessly clueless! Tell me, are the good guys always this clueless? I should lump you with Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Inuyasha in the "clueless" department. And as for ghosts, they don't exist in my novel. I could have them, but they would be so horribly cliched. Sorry.

"Feh. This story is pathetic! These characters and world are all make-believe, can you believe that (the only reason I know was because Kagome explained it to me)? Plus, too little action and all of this romance garbage and this drama with the families. I don't think the protagonists should've gotten together, by the way. They are just too different, and everyone would shun them. Besides, I had no idea that they would love even like each other until the middle of the book! I mean, they always seemed to be fighting all the time, and that kind of got boring. What you should've done is make the characters hunt down Maira-you shouldn't have stuck her in a prison for fifteen years, by the way-and make her do evil stuff more. But most importantly, BRING IN THE BLOOD AND GUTS!"-Inuyasha

Author's Response: What part of "romance" don't you understand? And again with the clueless "I-didn't-know-they-were-going-to-get-together-even-though-the-book-was-clearly-labeled-as-romance"! Jeez Louise! Anyways...so you want action, eh? Well, Inuyasha, I'll give you action (cracks knuckles)!

"INUYASHA, YOU ARE AN INSENSITIVE JERK! SIT, BOY! Don't listen to Inuyasha. God, he's such a jerk. I personally loved the story, absolutely loved it, from beginning to end. Two people who love each other, but their love is forbidden by all. And yet they still get together despite their differences, despite their family's feud, despite everything! (Sighs dreamily) How romantic!"-Kagome Higurashi

Author's Response: Go Kagome! Inuyasha, you are spared from facing my inevitable wrath, since Kagome obviously got there first. Oh, and I too am a romantic at heart, despite my being politically liberal and an atheist. I just don't show it much...anyways, thanks, Kagome.

"I too liked the story, even though the action was a bit disappointing. I envy Senelle; she ends up with a loving, caring man while I have to put up with a flirtatious, lecherous-MIROKU, YOU LECHEROUS MONK! HIRAIKOTSU!"-Sango

Author's Response: Silly Miroku; he'll never learn. Perverted monk...

"I'm back, even though I'm lacking a few bones...just kidding! Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, if you know what I mean,-wags eyebrows suggestively- but really, Seymour seemed a bit too inexperienced with women. If I was in the story, I would've taught him a few pointers...-sees Sango glaring at him- On second thought, never mind."-Miroku

Author's Response: Okay, Miroku suggesting to give Seymour pointers on how to love a woman-I'm officially scarred for life. I hope you carry that in your conscience your whole bloody life, Miroku!

"Wow, a rather powerful story. Two people who are so undeniably different fall irrevocably in love with each other, despite their families's objections. Funny, I suddenly have a feeling of deja vu..."-Bella Swan

Author's Response: Do you?-chuckles nervously, licking lips- I wonder why that is...

"I would like to thank you, the author of this novel, for your sympathy towards werewolves and showing them in a positive light by making one a best friend to one of your main characters, Senelle. Perhaps your novel may help change the prejudices of werewolves. For that, I want to thank you profusely. And in case you're wondering, just because I'm dead, doesn't mean I can't write this review."-Remus Lupin

Author's Response: Ah, you must mean Kiave, or Kia, as she prefers to be called. Yeah, made her up kind of last minute and everything, but yeah. Personally, I prefer vampires, but just because I hate a certain werewolf -glares daggers at Jacob Black- doesn't mean I take it out on other innocent werewolves. But how cool is this, having my best friend's favorite character reviewing my story!

"This story sucks. I hate it. Go back to where you came from, Muggle."-Draco Malfoy

Author's Response: Why, Drakey-wakey, I didn't know you had a soft spot for romance! You should've just said...I would've understood. Frankly, I never would've thought of that had you not read my romance novel to the last page and reviewed! So, who is it who've had the hots for? Harry? Snape? Or even Crabbe or Goyle? Come on, don't be shy!

"This is a truly marvelous story. But wait! My Inner Eye sees something...a book, similar to your novel...wait a minute, it's a sequel! My dear, the Fates have informed me that you are going to write a sequel to your novel!"-Professor Sybill Trelawney

Author's Response: (Very sarcastically) No! Really! I had absolutely no idea considering that I left the book entirely open-ended, one of the sure signs that the author's going to write a sequel! Remarkable skills! Amazing prediction!

"This book is complete and absolute rubbish. I disliked the protagonists instantly, and the plot is so utterly cliched. The whole destined-for-each-other thing is simply getting old. At the end, the boy gets the girl and they all lived happily ever after! Well, what about the unrequited love, eh? I seem to recall that a boy was also in love with Senelle. I think the name is Samuel...anyways, why did you leave him out? Why can't there be just one book about unrequited love?"-Severus Snape

Author's Response: Just because you loved someone who never loved you back (had in fact married your worst enemy and had his child) doesn't mean I should totally re-write the whole story and make it depressing! Also, about Samuel...he is the most insufferable git in the novel, if you haven't been paying attention! And lastly, you seemed to have forgotten that everything does NOT go well. I would refresh your memory, but I have people who are reading these reviews who do not know how the story ends, so I won't.

"I have only one thing to say here: Go Seymour!"-Sirius Black

Author's Response: That...that is just...ugh! -then proceeds to vomit-

"My dearest author: Forgive Sirius for his rather scandalous review. I know you must've been shocked to get that I deeply apologize for this. I'll be sure to restrain Sirius next time."-Remus Lupin

Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much, Remus! I don't know how many reviews like that I can take. Makes me almost regret my having put sex in there.

"Go Padfoot! Don't listen to Moony; he's so polite he scares even me. Anyways, nice story! I love how the guy finally got the girl in the end...or at least when they realized they belonged together...wish Evans would realize her love for me. Ah, well, guess I have to keep on trying."-James Potter

Author's Response: You are as incorrigible as Sirius. But I appreciate your review just the same. Keep on fighting for Lily's heart!

"I really liked the story. The two characters are oddly endearing, although was it really necessary to put...you know? And ugh, why is James Potter doing here?"-Lily Evans

Author's Response: I'm sorry, Lily, but I'm afraid I do not have the right to deny James of the chance to review, even if it is only to write embarrassing comments about you. And yes, I'm afraid that it was absolutely necessary to put sex there.

"My darling Waterlily, the apple of my eye, the cream of my coffee! My lovely flower, will you go out with me?"-James Potter

Author's Response: I know this is absolutely none of my business, but please agree to date James! He really isn't that bad once you get to know him.

"Yeah, the author's right, Evans, accept, or else I'll have to put up with him whining all the time about you."-Sirius Black

"For once in my entire life, I agree with Sirius."-Remus Lupin

Author's Response: THE APOCALYPSE IS NIGH! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

"I'm shocked too. Hi, Cristy! I decided to review!"-Danni34

Author's Response: Abigail! You're here! Lovely, you've decided to review!

"Yep! By the way, really liked your novel. I liked how they didn't really liked each other at first, but then gradually got to love each other. That werewolf girl was so COOL! Put her in your fan fiction! She's my favorite character, and she kind of reminded me of myself...wait a sec, she's probably based on me! The two henchmen were really like Crabbe and Goyle, the resemblance is almost uncanny, but they are really funny. I really HATE Samuel, by the way. He's a creep! So...yeah. The ending's sort of sad, though."-Danni34

Author's Response: Yes! My best friend likes my novel! -Does the conga- Sorry-moment of madness.

"She's your best friend? Well, birds of a feather..."-Sirius Black

"What is that supposed to mean!"-Danni34

"Padfoot didn't really mean anything by it, right Padfoot?"-Remus Lupin

Author's Response: He had better not have meant it...

"Remus! Man, all my favorite characters are reviewing your story! It's just not fair! Sure, your novel is really good, but why can't any of my characters review any of my stories? Why are you so damn special?"-Danni34

Author's Response: Because I am. -smiles sweetly-

"You're mean, you know that?"-Danni34

Author's Response: Of course. It's my job.

"I would like to have a word with the author of this story! I can't believe that you actually had the audacity of making a novel about my brother! Imagine my surprise when I found out that you had written a book about Seymour! Have you no consideration for my feelings as I read this disgustingly accurate book? You are one sadistic girl, actually making me and a thousand poor unfortunates read about my brother's rendezvous with a Lilcette! I am his sister, for Dio sakes, and therefore should NOT know about these things about my own brother! It's sick, embarrassing, and downright cruel."-Natalie Tanya Lurame (from Thorn of the Rose)

"Wow."-Danni34

Author's Response: I know...

"I sympathize with Natalie. I know it's not easy having a twin brother (I have a twin brother myself) and I'll probably die of embarrassment if someone ever makes a book about my brother's romances and makes it...uh, accurate, for want of a better word. But this was a lovely story nevertheless."-Leia Organa Skywalker

Author's Response: I got people from Star Wars reviewing me? Whoo-hoo! -dances the conga-

"What! It's not fair, first Harry Potter, then Danny Phantom, and then Inuyasha! WHY CAN'T FICTIONAL CHARACTERS REVIEW MY STORIES!"-Danni34

Author's Response: Do you really want me to answer that?

"Hey, don't listen to my sister. She's so conservative and critical sometimes. I think your novel was very cool. The only thing I would criticize is that you should have more action. I like Seymour; he seems like the kind of person I would be friends with."-Luke Skywalker

Author's Response: Thank you, Luke, for your lovely review. It's nice to know that SOME people like my story -glares at Voldemort, Inuyasha, Draco Malfoy, and many others-.

"This story is rather good. But I confess I felt rather bitter when I read about the happiness the two characters shared, being together, loving each other. Padme and I used to have that very same happiness, before I went to the Dark Side. And the ending wasn't fair! Why couldn't it been like that with Padme and I? I would have preferred that a hundred times than I going to the Dark Side and losing her. So...yeah, not very fond of the book much; it triggers too many bad memories. By the way, why didn't Seymour turn to the Dark Side?"-Anakin Skywalker, a.k.a. Darth Vader (or vice-versa)

Author's Response: I'm really sorry that my book made you feel such bad feelings. You should've never turned to the Dark Side, Anakin. Also, you made a very good question. In my novel, there is no line between good and evil. Everything is in-between, simply gray. Even Maira, who killed so unmercifully, is not, per say, evil. She's simply mad and embittered, and she holds a lot of hatred in her heart. But there's some good things about her! Um...let me think...-scratches head-...um, could you give me an hour?

"This novel, I like. Good writer, you are. The power of the good side, I sense. A lot of the Force, your characters have. May the Force be with you."-Yoda

Author's Response: Umm...thank you?

"YODA TOO! WHO DIED AND MADE YOU SO GIFTED?"-Danni34

Author's Response: Nobody. I was born gifted -smiles sweetly-.

"Your book has been very insightful. And I must admit, Sylican culture is rather fascinating and colorful. I am confused, however; you admit and even criticize Sylicans, even though you created them. However, I do like your book. I'm concerned about your villainess, though. She just reminds me of Anakin (though only because she is evil). I missed him so much, even after he turned evil. But if you tell him that, I'll be forced to kill you."-Obi-Wan Kenobi

Author's Response: Anakin who?

I hate this! Always, always it's the protagonist that gets the girl! Whatever happens to the poor kid who waits with a hopeful heart for his love to finally notice him and then gets his heart broken by her rejection? No one knows because no one BLOODY CARES! I hate the characters, I hate this novel, but most of all, I hate YOU!"-The Phantom of the Opera, a.k.a. Erik

Author's Response: Funny, I'm having a sudden feeling of deja vu...do you, by any chance, happen to be acquainted with one Severus Snape?

"Hey, don't listen to the people who don't like your novel because of the sex. They're just people with sticks up their arses. Personally, I well enjoyed those delicious scenes, though I am rather disappointed that you didn't make them too lurid. Too bad...oh, and do you happen by any chance know how to contact Seymour? Or Senelle? Or any character, really, I'm not really picky...-winks-."-Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who

Author's Response: That is just so wrong! First of all, Jack, Seymour is not gay! Nor is Marc, or Tyrus, or any male/female character in my novel! Well, except Carlos-you are allowed to approach him, but beware of rejection-Carlos' heart is set firmly on Salvador. Still though, you should start thinking more with your head than with your libido! You would get along with Miroku.

"AHHH! JACK! MUST-CRUSH-HIM-INTO-BONE-BREAKING-HUG!"-Danni34

"Why, hello. I don't think we've have the pleasure of meeting. Captain Jack Harkness, at your service. And also will you be so kind as to describe what you're wearing?"-Captain Jack Harkness

Author's Response: Jack! Don't flirt with Abby or I'll sue you for child harrassment!

"Please excuse my omnisexual friend, omnicient authoress. He's too flirtateous for his own good. Anyway, I thought your novel was rather good. I've never been to Sylica before, though...might pop in for a visit if, oh you know, an alien starts attacking it and stuff. Oh, and I have a fight to pick with one of your characters, Ike! He said that garlic bread was the best thing in the world. Well, I beg to differ-bananas are! Also, why isn't one of your characters named Alonso?"-The Doctor

Author's Response: Oh, Doctor! Only you would think that bananas are the best thing in the world. Thank you for apologizing for Jack's unseemly behavior, though I wasn't as angry as I acted. You can never get really angry with Jack. Also, I hadn't thought about naming a character Alonso and therefore I didn't. Sorry. Oh, and thank you for your offer and such.

"AH! IT'S THE DOCTOR! ATTACK!"-Danni34

"Um...hi, Abigail...-backs away slowly-"-The Doctor

Author's Response: Abigail, stop freaking the Doctor out! It's not nice!

"HEY! BACK OFF FROM MY MAN! I mean, the Doctor! I mean...okay, just forget what I said! Er...anyway, I also thought your novel was good. No, really, it was! I guess I'm just a sucker for romance. I like the idea of how nothing could keep them apart, despite insurmountable odds. I cried when I read the ending, though."-Rose Tyler

Author's Response: Er...I'm glad that you liked my novel, Rose. I am curious, however, about the first part...

"Rose too?! But wait, how did she come back?"-Danni34

"Um...I don't really know..."-Rose Tyler

Author's Response: One of the mysteries of life, I suppose.

"Your novel is inferior! It must be destroyed! EXTERMINATE!"-Dalek

Author's Response: AHHH! RUN! -scatters-

"I have to admit, when Bella first recommended me this book, I had my trepidations and doubts. It looked like another badly ploted, cliched romance novel. However, when I read it, I was surprised to like it. This was refreshing after all those young adult books with their abominable teenage slang of the modern age. This is a deeply thoughtful, philosophical book that delves into human nature and the human heart, in guise as a fantasy. The lovers are non-cliched but likable and the dialogue is all very witty. I congratulate you on your fine achievement."-Edward Anthony Masen Cullen

Author's Response: Edward...Cullen...reviewed...my...novel...and...liked...it? -hyperventalates, and then lets out a high-pitched girly scream before fainting-.

"Cristy, stop freaking Edward out! It's not nice!"-Danni34 (being her lovely mocking self)

Author's Response: Be quiet, Abby! Hi, Edward, my name's Cristina (as you know already, of course) and I'm your biggest fan and stalker! Dump Bella and marry me!

"HOW DARE YOU FLIRT WITH EDWARD! BACK AWAY, HE'S MINE!"-Bella Swan

"You better do as she says, Cristy, she looks angry...wonder where she'd gotten all her courage now?"-Danni34

Author's Response: Hi, this is Cristina and I fully deny what I may or may not have said to Edward Cullen in a moment of sheer and utter madness. I fully proclaim that I have no intentions whatsoever in stealing Edward away from Bella. I apologize profusely to Bella for my...er, lack of judgment.

"I accept your apology. Just make sure it doesn't happen again."-Bella

Author's Response: Whew! I'm saved!

YouTube Account: http://www.youtube.com/user/cto10121


Favorites Section:

Favorite Things: Harry Potter, reading, writing, listening to old music, Inuyasha, Danny Phantom, Harry Potter, going on the computer to read and write some more, and Harry Potter.
Favorite Movies: Oscar, (The best comed I've ever seen) Everybody Says I Love You, (Woody Allen...you got to love him!) all of the Harry Potter movies, (though my favorite now is Order of the Phoenix) Sister Act, (Maggie Smith spoke really excellent British in this one) Chicago (the music and dancing were excellent; no wonder the movie got all these Academy Awards!) Goodfellas (very vulgar and violent, but it was very interesting) Pulp Fiction (it had an excellent screenplay) are only a few.
Favorite Anime: Inuyasha, as of right now. I remember I used to watch Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon as a kid, but I don't right now.
Favorite Star(s): I like Emma Thompson, Judi Dench, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, and Meryl Streep. Oh, and also Alfred Molina.
Favorite Director: Quentin Terrentino (okay, I only really like Pulp Fiction, but still, that was his best movie!)


Music Section:

I like music with excellent melodies, brilliant arrangements, and flawless execution (it's okay if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but I'm talking about OLD MUSIC!). I love to listen to good, quality music rather than that nonsensical noise I call "modern music." So read if you're the least bit interested in what kind of singers I really like. Oh, and by "old", I mean early 30's to late 70's. So if you have your eyes burned and you find yourself completely bewildered and overwhelmed by singers you had no idea existed, don't blame me!

Types of Music I Listen To: Generally I listen to all kinds of music within any era as long as they thrill my ear. I listen mostly to the crooners, (your Frank Sinatra type of singer) instrumental, (loads of instrumental as of late) a dash of jazz, (only very mild jazz, not too subjective) pop, (old pop) rock, (the Early Beatles mostly and ABBA and even the Moody Blues) Latin, (old Spanish music, though) foreign, (as in European), classical, (I'm getting really into classical) opera, (definitely opera) Broadway, (who doesn't listen to Broadway?) swing, (I LOVE swing) and just typical old stuff.

Favorite Singers/Choruses/Arrangers: Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Nat "King" Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, the Ray Conniff Singers, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, the James Last Orchestra and Chorus, the Anita Kerr Singers, the Laurie Bower Singers, Perry Como, Englebert Humperdinck, Peggy Lee, Caterina Valente, Eydie Gorme, Andrea Bocelli, Werner Muller (HE IS SO WONDERFUL!! HE'S MY FAVORITE ARRANGER!), Helmut Zacharias, Franck Pourcel, Nelson Riddle, Glenn Miller, Leroy Anderson, Edmundo Ros, Juan Garcia Esquivel, Pablo Beltran Ruiz, Perez Prado, Xavier Cugat, Nana Mouskouri, Roger Williams, Stanley Black, Hachidai Nakamura, Matt Monro, Roberto Carlos, Luciano Pavarotti, the Early Beatles, and Jack Jones. Though not necessarily in that order...

Favorite Musicals: Wicked, Fiddler On the Roof, My Fair Lady, Guys and Dolls, Gigi, Carousel, West Side Story, Jesus Christ Superstar, Oklahoma!, the Phantom of the Opera, Romeo & Juliette: de la Haine a l'Amour (awesome), Notre Dame de Paris (cool), Rebecca (splendid), and Giulietta e Romeo (pop opera).

Favorite Operas: Opera is cool! Well, some of it. The Merry Widow by Franz Lehar, The Marriage of Figaro by Rossini, Carmen by Georges Bizet, Benedict and Beatrice by Hector Berlioz, La Traviata by Guiseppe Verdi and Rigoletto by Guiseppe Verdi.

Favorite Instrumental Arrangements: Ah. I really have so much that I can't make up my mind! And so I will list all the arrangements I do like. (Note: All these songs are instrumental and the names listed are the arrangers that played them).

Favorite Violinist: Helmut Zacharias (ha! Didn't think I would mention that, didn't you?).

Favorite Pianist: Roger Williams (he stole my heart with his excellent arrangement of "The Phantom of the Opera"!). Although Stanley Black is okay as well...

Favorite Trumpeter: Horst Fisher. Love his effortless and subtle playing!

Favorite Opera Singer: Luciano Pavarotti (I am IN LOVE with his rendition of "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's Turandot).

Favorite Arranger: Werner Muller...is...the...GREATEST!!

Favorite Composers: Hmm...let's see. I like Bizet (his operas "The Pearl Fishers" and "Carmen" are indicative), Rachmaninoff ("Vocalise"), Verdi, Bach (but I only like "Bach's Minuet". Otherwise he wouldn't be in this list), one song by Mozart ("Air On the G String"...otherwise, he'd be out) Henry Mancini, ("Il Girasoli", "The Baby Elephant Walk", "Moon River", "Pink Panther") Leroy Anderson (especially his "Sleigh Ride", but I also enjoy "Blue Tango", "The Typewriter", "The Sandpaper", "Syncopated Clock", "Plink, Plank, Plunk"), Charles Azvanour ("She" and "Yesterday When I Was Young") Helmut Zacharias (who composed some realy neat stuff such as "Wedding Bells", "Tokyo Melody", "Melancholy Morning", "Bazaar" and "The Man With the Violin" and "La Gran Canaria"), Anita Kerr (an underrated talent, who composed "Bouquet") and Charles Chaplin ("Smile" and "Limelight/Candilejas"). Oh, and also Andrew Lloyd Webber for his "Phantom of the Opera" and various works, not to mention Gerard Presgurvic for his fantastic "Romeo & Juliette", translated into 8 languages and performed in about 16 countries, and Riccardo Cocciante with his "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Giulietta e Romeo".

Favorite Opera Songs: Who says opera is boring? Well, most of it is, anyway. But there are a lot of great arias! Here's my favorite opera songs:

1. Nessun Dorma from Puccini's "Turandot"-The most famous opera song in the history of the world. And I heard why. So powerful and emotional.
2. Je Crois Entendre Encore from Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers"-So mystical and melancholy. -Sighs dreamily-
3. Au Fond Du Temple Saint from Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers"- A great duet! I'm making a habit of liking Bizet's compositions...
4. La Donna e Mobile from Verdi's "Rigoletto"-It's catchy, misogynistic, and cynical! How could I not love it? Means "Women are flighty." :)
5. Habanera from Bizet's "Carmen" - Whoever doesn't like this one is strange. From the moment I heard it I became hopelessly enamoured.
6. Caro Nome from Verdi's "Rigoletto" - So-so. But I like it so I'm adding it.
7. Triumph March from "Aida"- Triumphant. That's a word. :)
8. Nabucco from "Nabucco"-It's catchy...too catchy. -frowns-
9. Libiamo ne'lieti calici ("Brindisi" or "The Drinking Song") from Verdi's "La Traviata" - One of my favorite waltzes! :D
10. La Traviata Overture from Verdi's "La Traviata" - So sad...yet so beautiful.
11. The William Tell Overture from...er...William Tell? - So gallopy! Wait...is that even a word? -ponders-
12. Largo al factotum from Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" - How can anyone not like this aria? Everyone knows it!

Music I Really, Really, Hate: Modern music, though one percent of it doesn't offend me as much. However, I DETEST rap, gothic metal, heavy metal, pop, (as in Britney Spears type) and although country doesn't offend me and I even listen to some of it, I generally do not like it. Most modern songs contain really awful and nonsensical lyrics, poor melodies and instrumentation, a much too fast tempo, too much bass, yelling and screaming (in some genres). Also, what the hell are we supposed to get out of that crap? Most songs aren't meaningful at all or musically impressive, or doesn't convey an emotion that we can all relate to or even recognize. As Ella Fitzgerald once sang in "By Strauss": "How can I be civil when listening to this drivel?"

"Why is it that when a fella ought to be just about mule-ass proof against sin, an' all full up of Jesus, why is it that's the time a fella gets fingerin' his pants button?...Maybe it ain't sin. Maybe it's just the way folks is. Maybe we been whippin' the hell out of ourselves for nothin'." John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“I believe there are monsters born in the world to human parents. Some you can see, misshapen and horrible, with huge heads or tiny bodies. . .

The face and body may be perfect, but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can produce physical monsters, may not the same process produce a malformed soul?” John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“Don't you see? . . . The American Standard translation orders men to triumph over sin, and you call sin ignorance. The King James translation makes a promise in ‘Thou shalt,' meaning that men will surely triumph over sin. But the Hebrew word, the word timshel - ‘Thou mayest’ - that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open.” John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one. . .Humans are caught-in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too - in a net of good and evil. . .There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well-or ill?” John Steinbeck, East of Eden

"And the letter A, in scarlet, fantastically embroidered with gold thread..."Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

"And there you see the distinction between our feelings: had he been in my place and I in his, though I hated him with a hatred that turned my life to gall, I never would have raised a hand against him. You may look incredulous, if you please! I never would have banished him from her society as long as she desired his. The moment her regard ceased, I would have torn his heart out, and drank his blood! But, till then-and if you don't believe me, you don't know me-till then, I would have died by inches before I touched a single hair on his head!" Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihililated, the universe would turn into a mighty stranger. I should not seem a part of it. My love for Linton is like foliage in the woods; time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath-a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff!" Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

"And I pray one prayer - I repeat it till my tongue stiffens - Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you - haunt me then! The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe - I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only don't leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!" Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

"This cursed business, accursed of God and man, what is it? Strip it of all its ornament, run it down to the root and nucleus of the whole, and what is it? Why, because my brother Quashy is ignorant and weak, and I am intelligent and strong,- because I know how, and can do it, - therefore, I may steal all he has, keep it, and give him only such and so much as suits my fancy." Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin: or, Life among the lowly

"I defy anybody on earth to read our slave-code, as it stands in our law-books, and make anything else of it. Talk about the abuses of slavery! Humbug! The thing itself is the essence of all abuse!" Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin: or, Life among the lowly

"Love is merely a madness, and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do." William Shakespeare, As You Like It

"Boy, when you are dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you are dead? Nobody." J.D. Salinger, The Catcher In The Rye

"To be or not to be. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune/Or to take arms against a sea of troubles/And, by opposing, end them?" William Shakespeare, Hamlet


Stories:

Reminiscence: FINISHED! Finally; I was beginning to think it would take my whole life to finished it. Anyways, I encourage everyone to read it! And, most importantly of all, to review!

Because I Knew You:A one-shot songfic. Very corny, but it just wouldn't work without that element, you know? Anyways, I still encourage anyone to read it (anyone who likes corny stories, anyways). Actually, no, never mind, no one should read my that one; it is so corny that you will probably drop dead by all the corniness.

Broom Cupboard Confessions:Very funny story, or at least it is meant to be. It's a two-chapter humor fic. Anyone who wants a good laugh (and anyone who doesen't) can read it! James/Lily

Taxicab Conversations:Everyone who read it seems to love it! Even my dad thought it was genius, and he has read over a million books! Pure originality, well-written, and a great ending (or at least that's how my dad put it). It's very, very good-if I do say so myself-and I would like anyone to read it! James/Lily

Not Another Time Travel Story:Sixteen chapters. I wrote this story showing my love of time travel stories...and maybe poking fun at them a bit. A work in progress! James/Lily, Sirius/OC

Inuyasha On Broadway: I couldn't help it! It was an idea that popped into my head and I simply had to write it! Besides, it would emphasize my love for old music...by using the Inuyasha gang as just an excuse (smiles evilly). Next, I'll probably do Harry Potter On Broadway! Oh, right, ships: Inuyasha/Kagome, Miroku/Sango, Sesshomaru/Rin, (only a father/daughter relationship) Kikyo/...nobody! Ha!

A Year With Harry: The basic summary is that me and my two friends, Abigail (Danni34) and Kendall get sucked into the Potterverse and into Harry's third year-what happens when we and Harry Potter mix together? Chaos! This idea was suggested by Abigail, and I thought it was so good that I just had to write it. I'm going to be working on it so fans of Not Another Time Travel Story! and Inuyasha On Broadway! will have to be patient. A lot patient.

Severus Snape and the SFLM: An idea that came to me and I couldn't resist writing it. Severus Snape gets invited to the SFLM (or the Society For Lovesick Morons...rather fitting, isn't it?) and there he meets a group of fictional characters that have the same problems as he does (unrequited love). Will be a couple of chapters long.

Daybreak: Danni34 gave me the idea and I wrote it. I have nine chapters written down in paper, though I've yet to write them. Eight chapters are up!


Favorite Characters:

Harry Potter:

Sirius Black: He's so outrageously funny in fan fiction! I personally like his happy-go-lucky, sometimes goofy attitude. Well, at least that's how I portray him.

Harry Potter: No explanation necessary.

Fred and George: Very amusing, really funny. I was shocked when Fred died.

Lily and James Potter: They're my favorite ship, so of course I like them!

Remus Lupin: I like his dry humor, and even though he is mature and responsible, he's still cool.

Tom Riddle: What? Yes, I like the young Voldemort, so shoot me! It's just I feel that J.K. Rowling shouldn't have made him all evil. The urge to dig in deeper on his character is irrisistable. And also...he's very handsome...-blushes-

Albus Dumbledore: I just don't get how some fanfiction writers just love to portray him as manipulative. Sure, he is a bit, but he's just trying to do what he thinks is good. And besides, I find him a fascinating, well-rounded character who has a bit of a tragedy to him.

Inuyasha:

Inuyasha: He's rude, mean, aggressive, simply clueless, but I like him. He's funny.

Kagome: She's sweet, has a bit of a temper, but lovable just the same. Besides, she and Inuyasha are the main characters.

Miroku: For a lecherous monk, he's so unbearably lovable.

Sango: Of course. After all, I like Miroku and Sango together.

Sesshomaru: Possibly my all-time favorite character out of all the Inuyasha characters! I don't know why I like him...something about his lovely, cool voice, perfect English and unruffled demeanor makes me like him...

Rin: Adorably cute!

Danny Phantom:

Danny Phantom: Well, of course, I like him! He is the main character, even though he's as clueless as Inuyasha and as Ron and Hermione.

Sam Manson: I admire her staunch individuality and I am a staunch supporter of Danny/Sam, so...yeah.

Tucker Foley: A techno-geek, but a geek nevertheless! Do geeks and nerds mean the same thing? If so, Tucker and I would have a lot to talk about...

Jazz Fenton: Incredibly mature and smart. Funny, it reminds me of someone...

Twilight:

Bella Swan: She's too much like me for me to hate her. Yeah, I decided to forgive her for what she did in Eclipse.

Edward Cullen: DID SOMEONE SAY EDWARD CULLEN? -sees Edward- ATTACK!

Alice Cullen: I can't help it, even though she likes shopping -shudders disgustedly-. Alice is just so likable.

Emmett Cullen: He's funny and good-natured! He's like a big, cuddly, teddy-bear.

Jasper Cullen: What? Okay, ever since I started reading fics about him, I grew incredibly fond of him. Now I really, really like him, instead of the lukewarm feeling I had previously for him.

Seth Clearwater: He's so cool! He's my favorite werewolf out of the whole lot. And he's cute, besides.

Rosalie Hale: At first I didn't like her as I detest vain, superficial people, but then I read Eclipse and I finally understood what she went through and that deep down past her vainess she just wanted to be normal. And so it was impossible for me to dislike her.

The Volturi: They're awesome villains! So cool...

The Phantom of the Opera:

Erik (a.k.a. The Phantom of the Opera): I just do, okay? I didn't much when I read the book by Gaston Leroux, but the musical really put him in a sympathetic light, so yes, I now think he's cool and very much so! He has a special place in my heart...-sighs-.

Christine Daae: Yes, I am a Christine-lover! She's okay, though not as great as the Phantom.

Vicomte Raoul de Chagny: Yes, I like Raoul...-dodges rotten food-. Hey! Yes, yes, I know there are loads of Raoul-haters over there, and I have this to say to you: WHY DO YOU HATE RAOUL! HIS ONLY CRIME IS THAT HE LOVES CHRISTINE AND SO WHAT IF HE'S A FOP COMPARED TO THE PHANTOM? I THINK HE'S LIKABLE ENOUGH, SO THERE!

The Persian: He's not in the musical, but I wish he was! I don't know why I like him since his only role in the story is that he leads Raoul to the Phantom's lair (and not Madame Giry!) but I just do! I think he's cool, so there.

Andre and Firmin: For some reason, I find them rather funny!

Doctor Who:

Tenth Doctor: He's so cool! Ah, if he were real...but he's Danni34's, so shh! Besides, I have Edward.

Captain Jack Harkness: I like him so much! He's so much fun to write and he's so funny!

Rose Tyler: I really like her as well. I don't know why, but she grew on me.

The Master: HE'S MINE! EFF LUCY; I LOVE HIM AND SO WHAT IF HE'S A LITTLE CRAZY? I AM TOO SO WE'RE THE PERFECT MATCH!

The TARDIS: I absolutely LOVE HER! She's so...she's just great!

Martha Jones: Impossible to dislike, really, and I don't even want to. Such a great companion.

Donna Noble: Lovely Donna. She's so quirky and temperamental.

Pairings I Support/Like:

Harry Potter:

Harry/Ginny: I'll admit it; I was surprised (to put it lightly) when JK Rowling did that, (when she put the two of them together) but now, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense and the more I like the idea...

Lily/James: LOVE THEM! They're the best pairing, in my opinion.

Ron/Hermione: Let's make them stop arguing by locking them in a broom cupboard! Just kidding...or am I? After all, it worked for Lily and James (see my story, "Broom Cupboard Confessions")! I mean, we knew it was going to happen for years!

Remus/Tonks: I happen to be very fond of good ol' Moony, so if he likes Tonks, it's okay by me!

Sirius/Natalie: Technically, it's Sirius/OC, since Natalie's my character, (emphasis on my) but their enmity is just a ruse, as anyone who've read my stories could probably guess by now. If only they've stopped arguing...(sighs).

Tom Riddle/Maira: Yes, I know, Maira's my character, but they would look great together! And they have loads in common. And besides, they are quite fascinating individually, so they would be smashing as a couple.

Inuyasha:

Inuyasha/Kagome: Come off it! It is so painfully obvious that they should get together!

Miroku/Sango: Well, they did say they were going to get married after defeating Naraku. Also, they are a rather funny pairing.

Sesshomaru/Rin: Like father and daughter (I agree with Danni34 on this) unless Rin gets older.

Danny Phantom:

Danny/Sam: Phantom Planet anyone?

Jack/Maddie: No explanation necessary.

Tucker/OC: They didn't really put him with anyone, so I don't really care who he ends up with...except I don't want him to end up with Sam.

Twilight:

Bella/Edward: Bella and Edward forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever! They belong with each other!

Jacob/OC: Even though I hate him, I would love for him to imprint on someone who is not Bella! I just want him to quit whining about Bella. Moan about someone else for a change!

Jasper/Alice: Of course. I like the tactfulness of their love.

Emmett/Rosalie: Ditto. Although their relationship is a bit...er...physical, if you know what I mean.

Carlisle/Esme: Of course!

Edward/ME!: ...What? It could happen...right? -pouts-

Doctor Who:

10thDoctor/Rose: I like the pairing so much! They would look good together!

9thDoctor/Rose: I support this ship too, though not as much. However, I do think that they have chemistry!

Jack/?: I want Jack to end up with someone, but since I haven't seen Torchwood or the third season of Doctor Who I can't decide which character he would be better off with! So until then...

The Master/ME!: Ahem. Need I say more? -smiles innocently-

The Phantom of the Opera:

Raoul/Christine: I just like that pairing! Just because the Phantom is cool and all that jazz doesn't mean Christine should have picked him in the end! It is clear, in my opinion, that if Christine really loved the Phantom she should have stayed with him! But she didn't-she only regarded the Phantom with pity and compassion (and if you doubt my assessment, you can read the book!). So there.

Erik/OC: I like that ship because I want the Phantom to be happy. Remember, I don't dislike him; I wish him happiness with someone other than Christine.

Romeo & Juliette: De la Haine A L'Amour

Romeo/Juliette: Well, call me crazy but I personally think they make a cute (I love irony) couple. Even though they would never last had everything turned out fine for them, what they had in that short moment in time is...well, amazing. Perhaps I'm just thinking about the lyrical beauty of Shakespeare's lines, but still. It's not everyday you have pure, unconditional, impossible (in more ways than one) love.

Benvolio/Mute (Muette): This sprung up after watching "Les Beaux, Les Laids" and therefore the background with Benvolio and the Muette's interaction. And...well, my mind is weird. But they are so cuuuutteeeeee (in my mind).


Pairings I Do Not Support/Dislike:

Harry Potter:

Sirius/Lily: That is just plain cruel, in my opinion, putting them together. I mean, his best mate's girl!

Sirius/James: Now, I'm perfectly okay with homosexuality, but c'mon! I mean, they're best mates (mates as in friends, you sick, perverted people..)! And also, they aren't gay! I don't like it much when someone makes two straight guys gay (I'm with you on that one, Danni34!)

Sirius/Remus: The same.

Remus/James: Still painstakingly the same.

Harry/Draco: Read my lips: worst enemies!

Draco/Ginny: Ha ha. You're kidding.

Draco/Hermione: I've read some really good Draco/Hermione fics, but I am NOT a supporter of this ship! And they are too different to ever be together.

Lily/Snape: Now, I can wrap my mind on the idea that Snape loved Lily. However, I find myself incapable of wrapping my mind around the idea that Lily requited Snape's feelings. I mean, after DH, I find myself respecting Snape a hell of a lot more than I did prior to reading the book (before DH, I didn't really know what Snape's true colors were-I mean, sure he acted like a git to Harry, but that didn't really made me doubt Snape's loyalty to Dumbledore-but of course, I had a gut feeling-before reading the book-that he was good! Hurray for me!). But come on! Lily doesn't really strike me as a girl who would marry someone and bear his child (please notice the italics) and be in love with someone else! That is absurd, ridiculous, and that's my final say at the matter.

Remus/Lily: Remus was only fond of her, and did not look at her in that way. JK Rowling said it in an interview once.

Harry/Hermione: I am wholeheartedly against it with every fiber of my being! I mean, the people who still think they are going to get together! Are they insane? Do they require a psychiatrist? If not, why do they keep on harboring this silly notion? Even JK Rowling said that they weren't going to get together! ANVIL-SIZED HINTS, PEOPLE, THAT RON AND HERMIONE ARE IT! And so therefore, I think of everyone that is in favor of this ship are, and I quote, "deludanoids" (I got that from a movie-a really nice term).

A note for anyone still supporting the insane ship Harry/Hermione; for those who are with Ron/Hermione, read at your pleasure and entertainment:

Hello, everyone! Have you read DH? Yes? Great! RE-READ DEATHLY HALLLOWS AGAIN YOU IDIOTS!

In fact, since I'm so obviously fond of this ship (please note the heavy sarcasm in the italics) I will give it to you straight. Now, step one: Open Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Step two: Turn to page 625. Step three: Locate paragraph 7 and read until the bottom of the page. Step four: WEEP PATHETICALLY WHILE I LAUGH AT YOUR EMBARRASSING PREDICAMENT!

Now, you may think I'm callous, but it is for your own good, you know. You must accept that Ron and Hermione are made for each other, and that Harry and Ginny are happy together. That's how JK Rowling decreed it, and so it must be! Ta-ta!

UPDATE: Please note that I am speaking to those who believe in Harry/Hermione, not to those who just write the fanfictions. If you like writing fanfiction about Harry/Hermione but don't necessarily believe in the ship, that's okay. Though why would anyone writing Harry/Hermione fanfiction would not believe in it is beyond me...

Inuyasha:

Inuyasha/Kikyo: I HATE KIKYO! I HOPE SHE ROTS IN HELL WHERE SHE BELONGS (not that I believe in it)!

Hojo/Kagome: That guy doesn't deserve Kagome! He is a wimp! And too goody-goody and sweet. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Koga/Kagome: I don't know much about Koga, but I don't think he and Kagome look well together.

Miroku/Kagome: HA HA! Like that'll ever happen!

Danny Phantom:

Vlad/Maddie: He doesn't deserve anyone, the fruitloop!

Sam/Tucker: I mean, it's very obvious that they are just friends!

Twilight:

Bella/Jacob: NOOOOOO! I HATE JACOB, THAT MUTT, THAT DOG! HOW COULD BELLA REALIZE SHE'S ALSO IN LOVE WITH HIM AFTER ALL THE CRAP SHE FED US ABOUT HIM BEING ONLY A FRIEND IN NEW MOON! I'M REALLY PISSED OFF AT STEPHENIE MEYER NOW!

Ahem. I have just calmed down from my brief temper tantrum to say that I don't like this pairing at all (of course -rolls eyes-).

Edit (7-17-09): Thanks to Breaking Dawn, I no longer hate Jacob. sighs It was much too hard, understand. But I still like poking him! -poke-

The Phantom of the Opera:

Christine/Erik: Nope, sorry. You know how I feel about the Phantom, but I do not want him to end up with Christine.

Romeo & Juliette: De La Haine A L'Amour

Slash Between Romeo/Mercutio/Benvolio: Although I understand why anyone would...um...question their sexuality (especially Shakespeare!Mercutio and his various mention of Romeo's private parts - yes, I know the queer theory) I am a canon freak, as you may have noticed. Plus, they're all too fond of women to be interested in the same sex (although you could argue bi, it's unlikely). So...yeah.


Favorite Characters From Literature:

1. Cathy Ames, East of Eden by John Steinbeck: I love her! I just do! She's a monster, far worse than Heathcliff could ever be, and is so evil (in fact, I think that she's the greatest fictional villain in literature) but she's so great...to me, at least! The novel just revolves around her and she's so cynical and...she's just a really fascinating character for me.

2. The Phantom of the Opera (i.e. Erik), The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux: Of course, you know my thoughts on him in the Favorite Characters section. He's just cool and mysterious and whatnot.

3. Archbishop Claude Frollo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo: I know, I know. Perverted priest lusting over gorgeous, innocent gypsy girl, but I like him. In my weird, twisted way, but I like him.

4. Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte: He's a monster, alright, but an intriguing one. Unlike Cathy, the sole redeeming quality is his love for her, just as Catherine's only reedeming quality is her love for him. Which is really weird, and in a twisted way romantic. As for my feelings for him, I rather hate him. So why he is in my FCFL list I'll never know...

5. Catherine Earnshaw Linton, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte: She's vain, selfish, childish, and narcissistic. The epitome of all my hatred and disgust. And yet while I hate her she draws me in. By the way, don't you notice that Cathy from East of Eden and Cathy from Wuthering Heights share the same name? Wonder if Steinbeck did it on purpose...?

6. Sydney Carton, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens: He's so three-dimensional, you know? Not like that Darnay (why Dickens ever created him I'll never know; he's a fop!) and that Lucie Manette (ugh! She's so...perfect...-eye twitches-). But Sydney is so antihero and all that jazz and then at the end of the book he does something noble and completely un-Sydney, like changing places with Darnay! What the freak? All for Lucie's love...do you hear an "aww" coming on? Not that she deserves his love, but still...like him...

7. Estella Haversham, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens: I've always rather vaguely liked Estella, even though she was raised up to be a cold-hearted bitch who broke men's hearts, but I've always held a fascination for her. That's why, in her honor, I named Maira's (my character's) mother after her, as they are kind of similar in a way.

8. Rebecca De Winter, Rebecca by Daphne du Marier: She is not in the book at all (only by reference) as she is dead, but her presence is so strong it's unbelivable. And I know that she was evil (not as evil as Cathy, but still she was good at deceving people, like Tom Riddle). I mean, she was charming, beautiful, intelligent, the perfect wife in every way, shape, or form. Everyone bought into her act, except of course her own husband, Max, who finally killed her in the end. Still though, she's a great character.

9. Waldomiro "Vadinho" dos Guimaraes, Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands by Jorge Amado: He's so cool! I mean, I know Vadinho's a womanizer and a gambler and all that jazz, the epitome of the imperfect husband, but he was so charming and he happens to remind me of Sirius Black, only worse and even more charming! There, I said it! Besides, he's so funny! He was the one who said, "God is fat" to Dona Flor while attempting to seduce her. That was so effing funny...he's just so likable!

10. Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare: MERCUTIO IS AWESOME! HE'S THE EPITOME OF AWESOMENESS! EFF SHAKESPEARE - HE'S MINE!

(Clears throat). Sorry. He's just so funny and witty! And also full of life. He's my favorite character from Romeo and Juliet. I liked him so much that my character, Marc, is loosely based off him.

11. Benedict and Beatrice, Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare: Their quarrels are so witty and entertaining. Emma Thompson and what's-his-name did a great job in portraying them in the movie. Sirius and Natalie's relationship is loosely based off theirs. I'm making a habit of stealing a lot of stuff from literature. Ah well.

12. The Scarlet Pimpernel (a.k.a. Sir Percy Blakeney), The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy: He's absolutely fantastic! I think his fop act is so adorable! He's a master of disguise, he's clever and brave and noble and...he's just awesome, all right?

13. Romeo Montague, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare: Sure, he has his flaws, but frankly, how can anyone not like him? He's my second favorite character next to Mercutio...but only slightly less. I think he's also bipolar...he goes from Emo Romeo to Lovesick/Happy Romeo back to Emo Romeo then to Slightly-Happier-But-Still-Pretty-Angsty Romeo to Angsty/Emo/Suicidal Romeo faster than the Nurse could say "By my holidam!" But it's okay, I forgive him...


Important Notes That I Feel You Need To Know (And Not-So-Important-Notes That I Feel You Should Still Know Anyways):

Note from cto10121:

Ladies and gentlemen, I have an important announcement to make. Following the encouragements of my best friend Danni34 (go, Abi!) I had decided to check out this anime called Inuyasha and found that I LIKE IT! And so, yes, I am hooked on it! I've watched approximately 35 episodes (I think) and I am eager for more! Just a little announcement warning you that I may, in the future write Inuyasha fan fiction. When I know a hell of a lot more on the anime, of course. This does not mean, however, that I am giving up on Harry Potter. Harry is the object of my undying affection, the apple of my eye, the cream in my coffee...well, you get it. So I am not going to stop writing Harry Potter fan fiction stories.

Oh, and speaking of Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is coming out in just five days, if my calculations are correct! And also, I made a pact with my father that I read the Deathly Hallows two hours a day. Now I would be disappointed by this but it just so happens that I am an incredibly fast reader...anything is possible in just two hours (winks!).

Another note from cto10121:

Two more days until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out! I only have to wait two more days until I know everything! I have already reserved my copy at Waldenbooks and everything! Oh, I'm so deliriously happy! I feel like I could sing! In fact, I will!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty,

I feel pretty and witty and...

All right, I'll stop singing now. What can I say? I'm weird! Really, I don't care if the book costs a hundred dollars, I'll buy it! Oh, Harry...just two more days! I feel my excitement climbing expeditiously! Well, until my next note!

Yet another note from cto10121:

I JUST BOUGHT THE BOOK AND IT IS SO-SO WONDERFUL, MAGNIFICENT, GLORIOUS, SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS, WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC, LOVELY, TERRIFIC, WONDERFUL, BRILLIANT, WONDERFUL, AND AMAZING...DID I FORGET TO MENTION WONDERFUL!

I am reading it, two hours a day, just like Daddy said...or am I? (smiles wickedly) Sorry everyone, couldn't resist! Also, having more than a grain of sensitivity for the feelings of other Harry Potter fanatics, I won't post any spoilers of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. For several weeks, I mean. Then I'll say anything I damn want! So, for the time being, no spoilers!

...so, Norbert is a girl, eh?

Just kidding, just kidding! Just wanted to tease you, if only for a second! Until next note!

P.S. For my devoted readers, I am sad to say that I will not update or work on my stories for a while. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, you know. Now, now, I will update...eventually...when I get done with the book...(dodges tomato)...really! I promise...(dodges all sorts of rotten foods)...would you please stop throwing me stuff!

Yet another note from the cto10121:

I've finished it. Last night. At exactly 2:14 a.m. I had tried to cry at the end, but I couldn't; I produced barely a single tear. And yet it was...well, if you read my prior note above to the CAPS Lock part, you'll see how I felt about it. But there are no words to describe how I felt when I read the very last word. I wanted to cry, but couldn't, I wanted to cheer, but didn't, but above all, I felt almost satisfaction. And I think I know why JK Rowling had cried when writing a particular chapter.

The wealth of emotion I felt, but I couldn't express it; very little makes me cry. Even Harry Potter, whom I adore with every semblance of my being, could hardly forced out even a small tear. My eyes watered, but barely. I guess I'm just not as emotional as some people are. My present feeling about the book is sadness that it is over, but also excitement. Excitement about what, I do not know, but I know it would be a long time when JK Rowling starts writing again. She deserves a good rest, that woman, and I want to thank her for writing this last book that many Harry Potter fanatics (such as myself) shall cherish through the ages.

In fact, the only disappointments were very mild. Being in fan fiction nearly every day, someone's bound to get something right. My theories, or at least most of them, were correct, but I will not say them here. Well, I hope that everyone who's a big Harry Potter fan would enjoy this last book and those who have already done so may re-read them at their leisure. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is, quite literally, a treasure.

Another infamous note from the admittedly weary cto10121:

Well, this is totally unrelated piece of news (unrelated meaning "not related to either Harry Potter and Inuyasha") but I had to add it! You see, yesterday I got Eclipse, by Stephenie Meyer! If you go up to my Favorite Books section, you would see that the Twilight series is one of my favorite series (actually, it is the only series, apart from Harry Potter, that I like...). Anyways, the book hit stores on August 7th (and I got it two days ago-if my calculations are correct-but that's okay, I've stopped beating myself about it). I've finished the book on the exact day I bought it, at 11:34 p.m. And it was so-so intense, so riveting, so exciting! People reading this book would not get bored even for a second! I would not put spoilers in here, for who knows how many Twilight fans go to this profile? All I have to say is that it was great or "awesome", whatever you prefer!

Another important note from cto10121:

Since I've started school, I'm going to be a hell of a lot slower on updates than usual. You see, I'm a model student and I've had this habit of always doing my homework first before anything else. School is my top priority, even though I love and enjoy writing. Yes, I'm that serious into my school work. So my writing time will be cut short. Therefore, I implore you to have the utmost patience; bear with me here on this!

Another extremely vital note for all Twilight lovers:

Hello. I know I am a little late in writing this, but I decided to put this anyways. I have read Eclipse a long time ago (only once, I'm afraid; I let my friend borrow my copy and she still hasn't returned it) and I must say that some parts disappointed me. What parts, you ask? Maybe this little rant will clear things up...

WHAT IN THE BLOODY EVERLASTING HELL! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JACOB HAD THE NERVE, THE AUDACITY TO KISS BELLA AND SHE LET HIM AND ENJOYED IT, EVEN THOUGH JACOB ACTUALLY TRICKED HER TO KISS HIM! WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THAT CRAP SHE FED US IN NEW MOON ABOUT HIM BEING ONLY A FRIEND, EH! NOW SHE DECIDES TO LOVE HIM TOO! AND EDWARD IS BEING SUCH A GOOD SPORT ABOUT THIS, AND SO CALM AND COOL AND UNDERSTANDING WHILE JACOB IS AN IMMATURE AND A BLOODY, STINKIN' DOG! ALL THESE YEARS I'VE TRIED TO BE FAIR ABOUT JACOB, BUT THAT IS THE LAST STRAW! FROM NOW ON, IF ANYONE ASKS, I HATE JACOB BLACK!

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON BELLA! SHE MAY BE LIKE ME IN SOME WAYS, BUT AFTER ECLIPSE, MY RESPECT FOR HER HAS DWINDLED SIGNIFICANTLY! I MEAN, HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO EDWARD? EDWARD RULES, JACOB DROOLS...LITERALLY!

So, yeah, if you are a Jacob Black lover-no offense, but I've put up with Jacob Black as much that I could stand. From now on, Jacob Black is on my enemy list and Bella does not deserve Edward, unless something drastic happens that changes my mind. Thank you for your patience, and have a good day.

SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE GREATEST AUTHOR OF ALL TIME! BETTER THAN SHAKESPEARE, BETTER THAN JANE AUSTEN, BETTER THAN JOHN STEINBECK, BETTER THAN STEPHENIE MEYER, BETTER THAN DAN BROWN-

Got your attention? Good. Now then, a few days ago, my imbecile of a brother, the bane of my existence, broke our computer. One hit and ZAP! I was ready to kill him for that, and I would've, had we not discovered that the computer was irrevocably broken and that we get to buy and nice, new, shiny, lovely computer and printer that is infinitely better than the one we had! So I'm not mad at him anymore, but I still think he's an imbecile. The only bad thing is I LOST ALL MY FILES! -pulls hair- But don't worry, since the guy whom we took to fix the old computer (and the one who told us it was impossible to fix said computer) will take all the things that were in the previous computer (including my files) and transfer them into a CD. So everything is just fine and dandy. However, I don't know when he will finish it, so...yeah. Fans of "Inuyasha On Broadway!" and "Not Another Time Travel Story!" will have to wait -sees them all glaring murderously at me-. What! This is a situation that is entirely out of my hands, people! Fans of "A Year With Harry" will be happy to know that I have not yet started on the next chapter-oh wait, my bad; the next chapter is already finished so you will have to wait as well -someone throws a tomato, instigating a throw-vegetables-at-author fight-. Hey! Hey! Stop throwing that-alright, that is just disgusting-this is cto10121, signing off!

FREE BEER! GET YOUR BEER TODAY FOR THE LOW, LOW PRICE OF 2.00-

Ah, I just love attention getters! You really didn't think that I would sell beer, did you? Of course not! Anyways, to the point:

Now, about a week ago or so, I made a website! Really, it was rather simple...and here I was under the impression that making a website was as difficult as rocket science! But no, it was really easy. Anyways, I made the website, so GO THERE! Nah, just kidding-you don't have to go there if you don't want to. If you're curious, however, go to the beginning of my profile and click on the webpage. Navigate at your leisure. Oh, and I go by the name of "Bookworm" (my nickname my friends gave me...and it fits!). But be warned: if you don't like reading about silly quotes about random things and literature, if you don't like my taste in music (which is about 99.9 percent of you guys, I know) or if you aren't obsessed with Twilight or Harry Potter (which I dearly hope you are) then this website is not for you. It's kind of the same as my profile, though, so if you like this profile, then go to my website and read the same things over and over and over-well, yeah. It's not totally the same, though, I assure you! Plus, it has a cool layout, in my opinion! Anyways, sorry for the "attention getter"...that was really very evil of me -smirks-. Anyways, this is cto10121, signing off!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, FELIZ CUMPLEANOS A MI, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, FELIZ CUMPLEANOS A MI!

If you haven't inferred already, today-as in, January 21-is my birthday! I'm officially fourteen! And it just so happened to fall on Martin Luther King Day; we all know it's all because of me, 'cause I'm special (please note that I am not narcissistic and that I don't really believe that people made this day a holiday for the sole reason that it is my birthday). And so, because it is my birthday, I have decided to submit my next chapter of "Severus Snape and the SFLM"! Yes, yes, I know, it's not my most popular fic, but -shrugs-. The next chapter is very funny...or so I hope you'll find it. So yes, I've decided to be very generous (which is once in a blue moon, I suppose). This is cto10121, signing off!

ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO LOVE THE CHARMING, FUNNY "NOT ANOTHER TIME TRAVEL STORY!", WRITTEN BY THE EVER-MAGNIFICENT CTO10121! I REPEAT, DON'T SKIP OVER THIS NOTE IF YOU LIKE MY TIME-TRAVEL FIC!

Now, then, straight to the point. It has come to my attention that some people like the idea of having Ginny time-travel to the Marauder Era and meeting up with the trio and the Marauders and co. At first I decided not to include her in the story because I thought it would be too cliched and overdone, but if you guys like the idea, then what am I to deny you that pleasure? Oh yeah...the author -smirks-. Still, though, here is my proposition: I'm going to have out a poll and decide this matter once and for all. So now is your chance to VOTE! This is a democracy, people...or so I want you to believe -evil smirk-. Anyways, until the next note! -cto10121


Statements/Copy-and-Paste-Thingamabobers People Put On Their Profiles For Entertainment

How strange. Part of me thinks it's really stupid for me to put up a list of copy-and-paste things but another part just couldn't resist. And besides, some are funny and actually apply to me. Oh, and the italics part is my own comments to the copy-and-paste things. So without further adieu...

If you think Edward Cullen is hot...copy and paste this onto your profile. (Don't say a word!)

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. (Me? Smoke pot?! They're mad..)

92 percent of American teens would die if Abercombie and Fitch told them it was uncool to breathe. Copy this in your profile if you would be the 8 percent that would be laughing your head off! (Laughing my head off right now, mind you...)

IF YOU LOVE EDWARD CULLEN, COPY THIS INTO YOUR PROFILE AND SCREAM! (Done, except for the screaming part. I'm more composed than that -sticks nose in air-)

If you're planning to form a mob to attack Stephenie's publisher because you want Breaking Dawn now, copy this into your profile. (Pitchforks, anyone?)

If you get pissed and throw a fit until all the people in the room run away whenever someone says that the characters of Twilight aren't real, copy this into your profile. (Hey, only a very small, miniscule fit, mind you!)

If you want Bella to turn into a vampire, copy this into your profile. (She better turn into a vampire, or Meyer'll face my wrath!)

If you have ever fallen off a chair backwards, copy this into your profile. (Hmm...once. I think I was in the fourth grade.)

If you've reread TWILIGHT over four times...copy and paste this onto your profile. (HA! Waaaayyy over four times, I can assure you.)

If you've ever talked to yourself, copy and paste this into your profile. (I talk to myself on a regular basis. Everyone does at some point.)

If you think that being unique is cooler than being cool, copy this on your profile. (Of course. Personally I try to avoid sterotypical behavior and just be myself.)

If you are a person who acts friendly but has an evil mind and is secretly plotting world domination, copy and paste this into your profile. (Hey, that's only when I'm high on sugar, got that?)

If you would jump under a speeding train for a date with Edward Cullen, copy this into your profile. (Heh. Only in a figurative sense...really!)

If you're a proud stalker and obsessed love-struck of Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, copy this into your profile. (STALKERS OF EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN CULLEN UNITE!)

If you've ever copied and pasted something onto your profile, copy and paste this onto your profile. (Wow, a freebie! How exciting! Not.)

If whenever you see or hear the name "Edward" you freak out and have a small fit because you love him so much, and then people stare at you, copy and paste this into your profile. (I've been known to do that occasionally...okay, I'll admit it, often!)

If you are so obsessed with Twilight that it is NOT even funny anymore, copy this into your profile. (I know. Danni34 is literally a saint for having to put up with my Twilight obsession.)

If you or your best friend is insane, copy this into your profile. (Me, Danni34, and xxMangoxx are the epitome of insanity!)

If you are obsessed with over 30 characters from books...copy and paste this on your profile. (If you have read as much books as I have, you would be too. I drool over Mr. Darcy, I detest/like Heathcliff (don't ask), I think Tom Riddle is cool, I like Cathy Ames even though she's the epitome of evil, I hate Lucy Mannette because she's so Mary Sue, I'm in love with Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, I loathe Catherine Earnshaw because she is shallow and superficial, I think Pip is great if a little amibitious, I like every character from Harry Potter (except for Umbridge and Fudge and Voldemort-even if I am gung-ho over Tom Riddle even though they are the same person) and I'm boring you, aren't I?)

Ninety-five percent of teenagers are concerned about being popular. If you are one of the five percent who aren't, copy this, put it in your profile. (Popular? I'd rather make myself anit-social!)

If you've ever burst out laughing in a quiet room, add this to your profile. (Only when I was reading a funny book. It really was funny!)

If you’ve got a Sonic Screwdriver and/or want one, copy and paste this to your profile. (Sonic Screwdriver...-drools-)
