So quick bio... My name is Riva (pronounced REE-vah) and my passion in life is writing and history XD Odd combo, so I've been told...but hey, it's what I am! My favourite anime/manga is CardCaptor Sakura and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, but my latest craze is Shugo Chara!! My absolute FAVOURITE book series is "The Mortal Instruments" trilogy by Cassandra Clare. Clare is a genius with her wicked plot twists, most of which I didn't even see coming. She's a freakin goddess! And how can you NOT adore Jace?! XD...Now, the famous "Twilight" was a good read, but was fussy on HOW it was written -- Bella is such a flimsy character -.- BUT! XD Have begun writing Twilight-FF because it's fantastically fun, so watch out for those :D

Some quick facts:

I'm born n' raised Canadian. My main language is English, but I'm nearly fluent in French and know enough Japanese to get me by. I know SOME (as in VERY basic) Hebrew and Yiddish.

I show dogs, and damn proud of it!! My favourite sports dog showing include agility, obedience and rally obedience. Currently, I show Golden Retrievers, though I don't like the breed much. The Goldens are too over-bred and therefore have too many problems -- hips, elbows, eyes, skin, coat, etc. I am looking forward to getting into Australian Shepherds (my absolute FAVOURITE breed). I grew up with this breed and plan on getting my own in the new year.

I plan to go to university next autumn to major in history. I don't know what I want to do with it, perhaps become a curator. My interests in history are all over the place, but some of my more favourite interests include the Halifax Explosion, the Holocaust, Acadian history, the Titanic, and American Revolution.

I LOATH racism and discrimination of different religions, races, sexuality, etc. Violence, extensive drinking, drugs and abuse (any types) are also major no's for me. They're all vile and need to be stopped. I also HATE it when a man calls a woman a "bitch", for personal reasons. It's the most degrading name he can ever call her, I think. I can't stand it when a man has the audacity to call her such a word, no matter how much she seems to deserve it.

My favourite classes are English, Drama and History...But I hate Math, Chemistry and Physics. Hence the battle between my friends and I -- Arts vs. Sciences XDDD Way too funny. I've been accepted to my first-choice university, and shall be attending it this upcoming fall! YAYZ! I'm pumped! XD

I have the best circle of friends -- both on FFN and here physically with me. They're my lifeline and have helped me through a lot of tough times, particularly the past year. I love them all; they're my extended family, sort to speak. And I have the bestest (and yes, it's a word XP shut up) boyfriend ever, who has helped me in ways no one else could. I love him with all my heart...

I'm also "Rika" of the EvilClonesRSmexy group (I was previously known as "Chiharu", but we changed my name because a) my awesome teammates, 'Meiling'-chan and 'Tomoyo'-chan thought the character suited me better...and b) it's ONE letter off from my name!! LOL)

Quotes:

The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer. ~Oliver Wendall Holmes

She press'd his hand in slumber; so once more He could not help but kiss her and adore. ~John Keates

Fanficers enjoy sex...Just not with you. ~A t-shirt

Normal isn't something to aspire to...It's something to get away from!! ~Jodi Foster

When I saw you I was afraid to meet you. When I met you I was afraid to kiss you. When I kissed you I was afraid to love you. Now that I love you, I am afraid to lose you. ~Unknown

When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams. ~Dr. Seuss

Some of the greater things in life are unseen thats why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream. ~Anonymous

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, thats her... ~Unknown

We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find. ~Unknown

I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding. ~ Anais Nin

How wrong is it for women to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than set out to create it herself. ~ Anais Nin

I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing. ~ Anais Nin

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not possibly born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. ~ Anais Nin

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvellous that only the marvellous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvellous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls. ~ Anais Nin

(...Yes, I like Anais Nin -- Deal with it XD She's an amazing smutty writer XD LOL)

And lastly, the best POEM EVER!!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
