Hello everyone! Like I said before, I'm back! But now school is over!! I have to say I'm quite excited to be writing again. I'll try to get more chapters up, however I've been out of the game for a while and I'll be kind of inconsistent for the first few weeks. To everyone who is still out there, thank you for staying with me. Sorry for the wait. -Eli

Hey everybody! Hmmm... what to say?

I'm a fairly random person, so watch out. My friends tell me I intimidate people sometimes, I don't try to though, it just kinda happens. Lots of people say I'm smart, things in school usually just come easily for me, but I wouldn't say I'm "smart" exactly. I am a geek though. And you can could say my music preferences suck, but for me I love it because it's hilarious.

My interests include photography, baking, writing, reading, computer games, singing, listening to music, and traveling. But I'm also a homebody, which is kinda ironic considering I love to travel. It's just the kind of person I am.

As for my favorite anything, I usually don't have an answer, you could call me indicisive, but I just can't pick my one favorite thing. One thing I can tell you about my interests in book is, I am first and foremost a leech loving Potter head. (And I saw this quote on somebody's profile. But now I can't remember who. So I just wanted to thank them for the awesome quote, whoever they are)

And here is something funny and slightly ironic: I was born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, which is home to the University of Michigan Wolverines. My mom even works for the University Health System. But my mom, my dad, and I... we cheer on the Ohio State University Buckeyes. And for those who didn't know, the Buckeyes and the Wolverines make one of the greatest rivalries in College Football history.

I mainly read Twilight fanfics, but I am more open now to reading CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: NY, and Harry Potter fics.

I absolutely love this website! It's a word game, and for every word you define correctly (picking one of four choices) you donate 10 grains of rice to help solve world hunger. I enjoy playing and I hope you will too! FreeRice.com

There are three Twilight-related things I must now rant about:

First, a little Twilight FanFic pet peeve of mine: No Twilight character would say "Oh my Carlisle" or "OMC". If you want to say it as a Twilight Fan, I'm fine with that. But it is totally unrealistic to have one of the actual Twilight characters saying it. It's just stupid.

Secondly, I don't get why so many Twilight fan-girls are so upset that Robert Pattinson (aka Cedric Diggory) was cast as Edward in the upcoming movie. I have seen many posts where people were saying things like "Oh they ruined the movie!", "He isn't sexy like Edward is!", etc. Those people are annoying me. Give Robert Pattinson a chance. He might turn out to be perfect for the role. Apparently he blew the casting directors away at auditions. And no actor/actoress is going to look exactly like you pictured the characters in Twilight. So don't complain about the actor "not looking like the character."

Thirdly, why do people, when they write FanFics about Bella being turned into a vampire, have her hair change color when she changes? Before the change, her hair was brown. After the change, her hair will still be brown. Unless you can come up with a good explanation about why her hair color changed, that part of your story, to me, is stupid and pointless.

Sorry, my ranting is over now.

I own none of the following pictures/websites in the following parts of my profile.

-- Il Trebbio --

This is the villa in Tuscany Bella and her five friends are staying in...

Il Trebbio

Il Trebbio translates into 'The Harvest'.

Instead of the truck, Bella has a Chevy Impala. Not one of the newer models. A first generation, two-door convertible Chevy Impala.

Like this...

Or this...

These are some pictures of how I thought Edward's old stone farmhouse would look...

The hills in the Chianti region of Tuscany. (Part of the view from the hill.)

A wineyard in Tuscany at sunset. (Part of the view from the hill.)

The old stone farmhouse. (Just imagine it more run down and with an old oak tree growing through the roof.)

The countryside of Chianti at sunset. (Part of the view from the hill.)

The ancient oak tree.

And this is what I think the Cullen home in Tuscany would look like...

The Cullens' Villa

-- After the Vote --

This is the Elvish Name Generator I used for the After the Vote series.

The Cullen's home in Denali, Alaska looks like Compton Wynyates in Warwickshire, UK:

After finishing the third part of the story, After the Vote will be on hold until further notice. Currently I'm writing another story, Il Trebbio, which is taking up a lot of my time. And though I know what I want to do with this story, After the Vote will have to wait until I can come up with actual chapters. Sorry for the wait.
