Hola.

My name is Cara. I am in tenth grade. I am awesome.

I feel like the picture needs an explanation; I'm not emo or depressed or dark thoughted (not word). The girl just really looks like the main character of my fanfic, exagerated anime version.

Best Books Ever:

The Mortal Instruments, the Hunger Games, Watership Down, Agincourt, the Abhorsen Trilogy, Harry Potter, the Books of Pellinor, Lord of the Flies, Sweep, A Great and Terrible Beauty, Chanters of Tremaris, Wildwood Dancing, the Goose Girl, Enna Burning, and River Secrets, the Princess Academy, The Light Bearer, anything Shakespearre. The list continues indefinitely.

Best Anime Ever (in descending order):

Kaze no Stigma, Tsubasa, Vampire Knight, Ouran High School Host Club, Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, Itazura na Kiss, Inuyasha, Nabari no Ou, Fruits Basket, Ghost Hunt, Earl and Fairy, Sailor Moon.

What I Do:

Write. All the time. Constantly. My longest book was 127 pages (a little over halfway done) before I trashed it and decided to make it third person, past tense (now it's thirty-two pages). I write fantasy novels, mostly about faeries, elves, and some variation of wizards.

Read. All the time. Constantly. Too many books to count. Too many fanfics to count. Most of those, regrettably, were Twilight related. Waste of time.

Watch Anime. As much as possible.

Draw. Not anime (eeew - not fun.) I illustrate my books with a half-real-half-surreal style (i.e. long necks, sharp jaws, enviously small waists, and ginormous eyes). I'm really just too lazy to do realistic.

Listen to the Chronicles of Narnia sound track (The Battle, song twelve) and choreograph battles.

Debate. (Ooooh, politics...how pretty.)

What I Don't Do:

Text. Watch reality T.V. Chat on myspace (estupido). Play video games. Date. Sing. Drool over the Jonas Brothers. Frequently fall into out-of-body experiences during which I live the life of one of my characters because mine is boring. Coughsnortsneeze.

Promoting:

She of Dark Company, Harry Potter. My own character (I'm good with characters). Not typical reluctant-Slytherin character because she isn't reluctant. At all. In fact, she's slightly evil. I keep thinking about it, but I'm into it enough that I'm scared to put it on fanfiction. And then there's the fact that it's not getting any views, favorites, alerts, or reviews...OC's really aren't popular. It's disheartening. sniffs

What You Should Do:

Walk around in a school gym with all the lights out.

Check out my Harry Potter Fic. It's gonna be good. And hopefully I'll stick with it. I gave up on the Twilight one after Breaking Dawn. I am tempted to rant about that as well, but I suppose I won't...

And Yes, I Know These Are Annoying, But...

You know you live in 2009 when...

1.) You accidentally enter your password on a microwave.

2.) You haven't played solitare with real cards for years

3.) The reason for not staying in touch with your friends is they don't have a screenname or my space

4.) You'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the buttons on the TV

6.) Your boss doesn't even have the ability to do your job.

7.) As you read this list you keep nodding and smiling.

8.) As you read this list you think about sending it to all your friends.

9.) And you were too busy to notice number 5.

10.) You scrolled back up to see if there was a number 5.

11.) Now you are laughing at yourself stupidly.

12.) Put this in your profile if you fell for that, and you know you did

(It's still the 2008 thing...)
