Hm, where to start...

Well, I guess I'll start off by saying that I'm a guy, and while I enjoy writing, I can't seem to write worth a crap. XDDD I've written a few chaptered stories that fell flat on their faces in the past, because I just couldn't seem to maintain my focus, and then after a while, I'd just let them stagnate. Go me. -_- All I really seem capable of is one-shots, but I hope to change that... Eventually... I'll get around to it someday!

I mostly take interest in games, anime, and music, but I have a fairly wide palette in those. As far as writing goes, I for some reason really dig romances, or straight up crack, and am also an incredible sucker for happy endings. Drama and angst is a lotta fun to write too, but feels way too easy to get carried away and just end up with your characters flailing around and slitting their wrists. The line between and angst and emo is way too thin... Or maybe that's just me. XD

Just to kinda illustrate how wide my taste in music goes, well... Let's just say that among the artists I listen to, there's Devildriver, Kajiura Yuki, Pendulum, DJ Dean, AFI, Disturbed, Hammerfall, Dr. Dre, Perfume, Prodigy, The Killers, Kamelot, Ne-Yo, and a plethora more. That's not including the random stuff I listen to, like game tracks, and stuff like the Caramelldansen. I have the freakin' leekspin and that This is Sparta extended mix on my iPod, for crying out loud.

Yes. I listen to weird crap.
