What's up,

My computer is up and working now! So I can say (with full confidence) that if you send me a message, or PM, that I can (and will) reply back.

Okay so my friend went behind my back (shoots evil glare at my friend) and posted an author note for me without my permission (shoots another evil glare at my friend). What she said was true, besides the kicking my ass part. I Will Update my stories! I am just going through a hard time right now, so please bare with me here...It may take me a little longer, but I promise to have a chapter out before the end of Feb. (xD I know that's awhile, sorry). Thanks for the support, and be sure to check out the rest of my profile, I've got a section on my Favorite story of the month, and I have a Story Status section on my profile now. Thanks, peace out you guys.

I've talked with a couple of relatives about how I haven't been able to find time to write. They all tell me that it's okay, and that my priorities are all in line. So I've decided that my primary focus (concerning my writing) will be my story With You, because it is more popular and I'm further a long in it. The Name Namikaze will be updated eventually, but don't expect it anytime soon. My studies, friends, and family will come first. I might not have much of a life, but I'd like to preserve what little life I do have :) lol So please bare with me as I fight to find time to write...and as I fight to overcome my current writers block lol It's very discouraging to have writers block on only the 5th chapter of your story (With You). (p.s. I've got a section further down in my profile dedicated to my stories and when they'll be updated...so go check it out, please :) Thanks guys!!

Hmm, I'm guessing if your reading you want to find out a little about me. So here you go:

Your Element Is Water:

A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious.
That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep.

Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily.
You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others.

You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves.
You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.

I have also gotten Fire before, it's pretty cool. Water and Fire...Hmm, I must be complex lol

Your Independence Level: High:

You are extremely self reliant and autonomous.
You are definitely into doing your own thing.
But you also wouldn't turn down help if you needed it.
You follow your own path, but you don't do so blindly.

Hmm, yeah I guess that's pretty acurate...Hmm, I'll have to look up what autonomous means though lol : )

Your Power Element is Wood:

Your power colors: green and brown

Your energy: generative

Your season: spring

Like a tree, you are always growing and changing.
And while your life is dynamic, you are firmly grounded.
You have high morals and great confidence in yourself and others.
You have a wide set of interests, and you make for interesting company.

Hmm, interesting...I guess that's pretty accurate. The first time I got "Metal" and I thought that was pretty cool, but part of it didn't fit me at all, I think this one fits me better, lol, but it's just a mini-quiz thing anyways...it can't be accurate and precise while only having 5 questions; it was fun though lol : )

My Absolute Favorite Anime/Manga: Naruto is totally my favorite. I really haven't gotten into any other anime/manga, but I do like Rouroni Kenshin, Rave Master, and a few others. I TOTALLY support the Naruto and Ino couple. I know its highly unlikely, but after reading a bunch of Naruto and Ino fics it stuck with me.

Favorite Authors: Kaara, Lolligaggin, LD 1449, pudgypudge, twitch and spaz, weixuan 18, The SOC Puppet, Kraken's Ghost, Ino-Fangirl55, Dark Hope Assassin,Symphony.In.The.Abyss, (If you look up the last author I listed then make sure to put periods before and after each word), maverick9871, and more! Those are great authors guys, check 'em out! It's been awhile since I've updated this profile so I'm just going to say that:

Those authors (the ones mentioned above) are not all of my favorites, now. So, since I'm pretty lazy, Check out my Favorite Authors (below...its that thing that looks like a link...you know you want to click it)!

STORY STATUS: 4-27-09

With You: Currently, In Progress. I am revising all of the chapters and changing up a little here and there. CHAPTER ONE HAS BEEN REVISED. I'm not starting on Chapter 2. Once I've finished revising all the chapters I will start writing Chapter Five. Once that's done, I will begin the process of checking for grammatical errors (lol).

The Name Namikaze: Currently, In Progress. I will be revising this story as well. NOTHING is going to get changed, with the exception being any grammatical or structural errors I find.

Story/Author of the Month: Well, this month I've decided that SkyMaiden needs some attention. She is absolutely amazing! She is on my top 5 favorite author's list!

So you must go check her stories out, if you don't like them...I'd be shocked! Unless of course...you're a NaruxIno hater? Or you don't like amazingly awesome stories?

Beta-ing Stories:

Now I'm beta-ing two stories for my fellow author, Chapsticks, so I am dedicating part of my profile to his stories:

Naruto's Resolve: It's looking really good, seriously! Once you've checked out Naruto's Resolve you should check out the author's other stories. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that it's the best story since sliced bread, but it has a lot of potential and a review would be kindly appreciated by the author (chapsticks, ID: 1265286). And No, I'm not the author. I don't have anyother accounts. KatanaUser Is the only account on FanFiction.net that I have. : ) lol So here is the summary:

When Naruto's secret is revealed by Mizuki, Naruto vows to become stronger and protect his precious people. Hiatus.

Silverblood: He was nice enough to send me his plot line and some summaries for the future chapters and I can tell you right now...it'll be good...you'll love it, trust me! Go check it out, it'll kickass! Summary:

All Naruto wanted to do was vent out his anger but when a sand nin steals a very important scroll, Naruto unlocks his very ancient, vicious yet mysterious bloodline. Pairing NaruXIno.

P.S. I started Beta-Reading for Chapsticks at Chapter 8 of Naruto's Resolve, and Chapter 3 of Silverblood...I only say this so that if someone needs me to beta-read something then they'll be able to go and look at the chapters I've beta-read and see if they like it.

Thanks for reading this far! : )

Ja ne!
