Hi! My name is OpenBook; why? Frankly I have no idea either. I guess it just sounded good to me.

Okay, so a little about me then...my favorite food is fish. Yes FISH! Feel free to run if you wish. (HA! That rhymed!) I also like mint chocolate chip ice cream, which I believe is a God sent in many ways. I am sweet, polite, and greatly appreciate other people's views, but when I became passionate about a certain topic, I shall debate my views until the world stops turning, the polar icecaps melt, the sky turns green, and all of the dead people rise out of their graves in zombiefied stupors and then eat all the nurses. ;)

OK, this is very important and it concerns you readers. Your opinions and constructive criticism's are very important to me and my writing, but ONLY when they concern my writing style and character development, and other linguistic devices, as well as commenting on how the story has effected you, commenting on the chapter, etc.
However, I must honestly say that I do not appreciate opinions about "what should happen next in the story" where you list the things that you think should happen in the story in order for it to be "better". I do not look happily on these. You have no power over the plot. The story is mine, not yours, and even though you may want it to go a particular way, it might not. If you want it to go a certain way, then I suggest that you write your own story. So please leave all plot devices to me. Thank you.

AND NOW, A RANT! (Throws confetti)

Ok, this isn't really a rant...So I have just recently became something...something different...something new...and I am sure whatever you are thinking right now is not what it is. I have just become a rabid Hiruma x Mamori fan. WHY CRUEL FATES?? WHY?? XD They are so perfect for eachother, and think about it, aside from the manga, it would make a pretty interesting book don't you think? I mean think about it...a sweet kind and gentle hearted girl is comfortably going to school, until her best friend (this would be Sena) comes and gets tangled with the rebel of the school! D8 So then, in order to protect her friend from potential harm, she must become the football team's manager, and put up with the most devilish guy around! God I love that! Even with all of Hiruma's smarts, I bet he didn't see her coming. ;D

Anyway, now a little on my stories...

I LOVE to write, but sometimes my life gets in the way, and I sometimes can even go a month at a time without writing a creative word...sad I know, but it is true. So I am sorry if you are waiting for an update and it doesn't come for a while, but it WILL come in time. I am a geek, and sometimes I can be an ass with cute purple glasses! But I have a social life, so it's not like I am locked in the basement all day, lol. Anyway, I m tired of typing, so here are some lists:

My Favorite Bands

Within Temptation (Respect them!!)
Rammstein
Breaking Benjamin
E-type
Korn
Lifehouse
Skillet
Seether
Nightwish
And more...but if i name them all off, this list will go one forever XD

My Favorite Books

The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series

The Book of Negros by Lawrence Hill (This book was so amazing. I recommend that you all read it. It made me cry, it was that fantastic. Literally a masterpiece!) I'll give you guys a link so that you can go check it out for yourselves. Oh and by the way, I think it's only in Canada that the book is titled "The Book Of Negros.", I think it is titled differently in the United States and other countries (for obvious reasons), and the title there is "Someone knows my name." Anyways, look into it, this is the book of a lifetime!!The Poison Study Trilogy
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
The Red Tent
Bloodline: Reckoning
Almost ANYTHING by Amanda Quick (Man that woman can write)

Songs that I am currently addicted to:

Black Horse & The Cherry Tree by KT TUNSALL

two, three, four
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself, so
I'm gonna let it do all the talking
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)
I came across a place in the middle o' nowhere with a
Big black horse and a cherry tree
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)
I felt a little fear upon my back, I said
Don't look back, just keep on walking
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)
When the big black horse said look this way, he said
"Hey li'l' lady, will you marry me?"
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)

But I said
"No, no, no, no-no-no", I said
"No, no. You're not the one for me.
No, no, no, no-no-no", I said
"No, no, you're not the one for me."

(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)

And my heart hit a problem in the early hours, so I
Stopped it dead for a beat or two
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)
But I cut some cord and I shouldn't have done it and it
Won't forgive me after all these years
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)
So I sent it to a place in the middle o' nowhere with a
Big black horse and a cherry tree
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)
Now it won't come back 'cause it's oh, so happy and
Now I got a hole for the world to see, yeah
(woo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)

And it said
"No, no, no, no-no-no", it said
"No, no. You're not the one for me.
No, no, no, no-no-no", it said
"No, no, you're not the one for me."

(whoo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo) Not the one for me, yeah
(whoo-hoo-oo,woo-hoo)
I said, "No, nah, no, no,
No, no, no, No, no,
you're not the one for me
No, nah, no, no,
No, no, no, No, no,
you're not the one for me"

Big black horse
And a cherry tree
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me, yeah yeah yeah
Big black horse
And a cherry tree
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart forsaken me
