Current Age: 22

Marital Status: Engaged

Current Residence: Houston, TX unfortunately; Hot, humid, stormy, lots of bugs, angry people who drive too fast and try to kill me because I drive the speed limit! >:( What's not to like?!

Interests: Reading, writing, drawing, gaming, and, surprisingly, work. o.O What a concept. However, I'm a groomer, so I get to work with dogs all day. That's awesome, of course, but I also like the fact that I hardly ever have to deal with people. I'm shy and awkward, especially with loud people, so this job suits me well.

Favorite movies: AVP, Predator 1 & 2, Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Sweeney Todd, Appleseed 1 & 2, G.I. Jane, Sphere, Event Horizon, Vexille, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Star Wars 1-6, TMNT, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1-3, My Fair Lady, Les Miserables, Every existing Batman movie, Water World, Beauty and the Beast (Disney version)...

Favorite TV Series: House, Scrubs, Fringe, Law and Order, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Bones, Till Death, King of Queens, Teen Titans, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Invader Zim, Groomer Has it, Animal Police, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Whale Watchers, and Hell's Kitchen. o.o Gross, some of the things on that show...

Favorite band or musician: Skillet, Kutless, Barlow Girl, Hawk Nelson, others.

Favorite genre of music: Christian rock, light rock, and country.

Favorite artist: I admire many artists, but my all time favorite is Norman Rockwell.

Favorite poet or writer: Again, there are just so many... Really, I read too much to list them all... But a few I keep an eye out for are- Karen Hancock, Wendy Alec, Diana Pharaoh Francis, Ted Dekker, Frank Perreti, and Michael Crichton-Rest in Peace.

Favorite Book: Of all time? Arena by Karen Hancock. Hands down. I also love the Path of... trilogy (Path of Fate, Path of Honor, and Path of Blood) by Diana Pharaoh Francis.

Favorite fictional/cartoon character:

Tmnt: Leatherhead and Michelangelo, but I feel like I can relate more to Leonardo.

Appleseed: Briareus and Deunan

B&B: Beast, of course. I was actually disappointed when he was turned back into a human. I liked him more as a beast. :(

AvP: Scar (And Rune from Fallarin's story 'Hunter's Moon')

Path Of...: Sodur and Juhrnus

PotO: the Phantom

HP: Severus Snape, Luna Lovegood, and Remus Lupin

House: House and Cameron. Naturally, they're also my favorite pairing. XD I also get a kick out of Wilson.

Fringe: Walter (How can you not like that crazy old man?)

XMen: Wolverine, Rogue, Phoenix, and Storm

Favorite Quote: "Don't make me go ninja geek on your ass!" -Donny from Loolaa's TMNT comic on Deviantart.com Link below. :)

I have been on fanfiction.net since maybe 2000, can't remember, but I stopped writing a couple years ago. Recently I had urges to write again, so I made a new profile this year. My writing is a little rusty. I appreciate any and all constructive criticism. I suppose if one of my stories is really so bad that someone feels the need to flame it, I can accept that. Just keep in mind, I am on this site to improve my writing skills. Not just because I feel like posting random nonsensical stories.

I borrowed this poem from reinbeauchaser's story 'Butterfly':

I asked for Strength ...And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom ...And God gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity ..And God gave me brain & brawn to work.
I asked for Courage ...And God gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love ...And God gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors ...And God gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted ... I received everything I needed!

My Stories:

-Rolling Thunder: In very slow progress. It will be very angsty. You are warned!

-Finding Who We Are: In progress. So after several people asked me to continue, I've take this story off 'hold'. I will be continuing. At least to finish the story so you guys aren't hanging. After it is complete, I may revisit it for editing.

-Sacrifice: In progress. I'm focusing all my attention on this story at the moment. So far, I feel that I'm off to a decent start and I don't want to ruin it.

-Last Heaven: Has been removed until further notice. It was less like an actual story and more like a series of random drabbles. Besides, everyone was completely out of character. I expected this story to be a failure, though, because it was the first one I'd attempted to write after so long. It was more of a warm up and I don't know if or when I'll ever re-post it.

-Reminisce: In progress. A simple Michelangelo romance.

-Big Brother: One Shot. Cute Raphael/Leonardo brother love/comfort story.

-Beauty and the Beast: A Leatherhead romance. Even Crocodiles need love. :3 WARNING: This story has interspecies romance! That means love between a mutant crocodile and a human woman! Don't like? Don't read.

-Relativity: In progress. Another LH romance involving my first mutant OC, Lavinia. I have pictures of her on my devart account. The link is found at the top of my profile.

Every city has plenty of shelters and rescues. Please, please take the time to contact them when you can no longer provide a home for your animal companions.)
