Pairings I dislike:

General

ANY Yuri couple: I don't know why guys find girl-on-girl so arousing. If it's light romance, I MAY read it, but anything overtly sexual and I steer clear. Don't ask why, something about it just turns me off (and not in a sexual way).

Incest pairings: The only ones I will read with no reservations are Ben/Gwen from Ben 10 and Martin/Diana from Martin Mystery. Anything other than that, forget it.

Pedophile/Bestiality: I haven't seen any relationship between a child and an adult that I consider romantic except for Sesshoumaru/Rin and even THAT'S pushing it. As for bestiality, the ONLY romantic relationship I would read between a human and an animal is Caim & Angelus (they actually do love each other) and ONLY if it's non-sexual.

Specific Pairings (by fandom)

Beyblade

Practically any Beyblade yaoi couple (except for Tyson/Kai & Kai/Rei): I have no problem with homosexuality, but most of the yaoi couples I see here are COMPLETELY improbable.
Hilary & any member of the Demolition/Blitzkrieg Boys: WHY? Why would Hilary be romantically involved with the ENEMIES of her team?
Hilary/Hiro: Hiro is not a clone of Tyson. I just don't see the rationale behind this one.

Code Lyoko

Ulrich/Sissi: Canonically, Ulrich can't stand her and her obsession with him is classic Stalker Syndrome. Plus, she's oblivious to the fact that one of her goons has a crush on her and abuses him for no reason.
Yumi/William: No, just no.

Digimon

Sora/Matt: You couldn't get me to read this pairing even if you threatened me with torture. The idea that these two actually are together in canon is torture!
Izzy/Mimi: I don't hate this pairing, I just can't see it working out realistically.
Davis/Kari: His behavior about her and T.K.'s relationship is so childish. Besides, I think Yolei would be a better match for him.
Takato/Rika: I still don't understand why this pairing is so popular. Those two are so far on opposite ends of the spectrum that not even "opposites attract" would apply to them.

Inuyasha

Inuyasha/Kikyou: While I don't hate this pairing like I did in the past, Inuyasha obviously loves Kagome and Kikyou's portrayal in most stories is off-putting.
Kagome/Kouga: I don't think Kouga has any real feelings for Kagome and even if he does, the way he expresses them is so pathetic.
Kagome/Hojo: Hojo may be cute and sweet, but he doesn't have an ounce of common sense.

Naruto

Naruto & anyone but Hinata: They BELONG together!
Hinata & anyone but Naruto: See above.

Pokemon

Ash and anyone but Misty & vice-versa: Same reasoning for Naruto & Hinata. If that isn't young love, I don't know what is.
Dawn/Paul: No offense to Ikarishippers, but I just don't see this one working out for the same reason Takato/Rika wouldn't work. They're just too far apart in terms of personality.

Drakenguard

Caim/Manah: I will never understand why this couple is so popular. It could never work. Caim's heart belongs only to two, Angelus and Furiae.
Angelus/Legna: Okay so they're both dragons, so what? There's no romantic attraction between them.

Power Rangers

Tommy/Kat: No, No, No, No, NO! Tommy belongs with Kim and Kim only!
Jason/Kimberly: I don't hate this pairing and I can see where people get the idea, but I'm a Tommy/Kim shipper forever.

I'm not gonna reveal my location for safety reasons. I'm in my second semester of my second year in college.

A little about me. Other than what's listed above, I'm 5'10" tall, have brown eyes and dark brown hair. I have one brother and one sister. I'm generally quiet and very kind. I have a very creative mind and I obviously love writing. I'm not violent and don't get angry easily, but I have been known to curse.

I'm working on an original epic right now which I hope to turn into an actual anime one day. I know it may sound like a pipe-dream, but I believe it can be accomplished. I love music and singing. I've got quite a collection of CDs, several which I burned myself.

Here's a (revised) list of my favorite artists:

Female Top 10

1. Mariah Carey: Her voice is like no other and at her best, NOBODY can outsing the Songbird Supreme!
2. Whitney Houston: Effortless beauty in her singing and the only one to match Mariah.
3. Celine Dion: A very powerful chest voice. Her material lacks in quality now though.
4. Leona Lewis: Great voice and an up-and-coming star. Not the new Mariah though.
5. Jordan Hill: A wonderful, underrated vocalist and artist.
6. Toni Braxton: Her low voice is amazing and so soulful.
7. Shania Twain: Love her! That's all I can say!
8. Faith Hill: A diva in the country world.
9. Martina McBride: Just as good as Faith vocally and I love her songs.
10. Sara Evans: Not on the level of Martina or Faith, but still very good.

Male Top 3
1. Brian McKnight: A great soul singer and I love his ballads.
2. Usher: Another ballad singer, he's only under Brian because of his hip-hop music.
3. Luther Vandross: I haven't heard a lot of his work, but he could sing.

My favorite type of song is ballads, the love songs especially. I don't have a favorite song. There are too many.
My favorite kind of book is murder mysteries. I also like the Harry Potter series, though don't expect any fanfiction about it. I'm not that well-versed in the HP universe. I tend to write stories with an angsty feel to them, I guess because I love the emotion that goes along with them.

Other shows that I like that aren't anime are many and I don't feel like listing them right now. That's about it. If you want to talk to me or if you have a question, just private message me and I'll respond as soon as I can.

Updates:

01/02/10: I deleted my latest Pokemon story because it wasn't my best work. I added another story called "Desperate". It's my first Hey Arnold story and people really seem to like it. So I'm thinking of redoing the story and elaborating a little bit, probably in the form of flashbacks.

01/19/10: For those of you waiting for the fifth chapter of my elaboration of the story Desperate, it may take a while, because it's a lot to think up and write down. I'll try to get it done as soon as possible, but please be patient.

05/19/10: I know it's been four months since an update here. I FINALLY finished my first story! And also, to the C2 community Awesome Pokestories, thank you for adding my fic "Guilt Trips and Confessions" to the community!
