I got brains in my head, feet in my shoes, and music in my soul! And I'm enjoyin' every minute of life! And yeah...I'm an oddball, I'm weird, and I'm a theater nerd. DEAL WITH IT.

BEST QUOTE EVER: "Wait...I got it! We can put on a big show...with lavish costumes and huge, expensive sets! We'll charge, like, a hundred and fifty dollars a ticket! And then at the end (music starts)...we'll all join hands and sing the anthom of the 90's: (starts to sing) Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes..." - Save Broadway sketch, Saturday Night Live

TEAM EDWARD. BECAUSE JACOB DOESN'T SPARKLE (and you so know it...).

All About Me: You will call me Elphie or YOU WILL DIE! No, I'm kidding...but call me Elphie. Please.

I may seem like I'm a loud person, but I'm actually quite shy most of the time, and I tend to keep rude comments to myself (but if need be, I'll speak my mind). I try to keep the reviews that I write for other stories kind and supportive (so as not to make trouble for myself...plus I only review stories that I really like...if I don't like it, then I won't review it).

USER NAME: Elphaba's nickname, her last name, the initials of the song "Defying Gravity", and my new favorite number (it used to be 14...but then I changed it). I love Wicked, and it's the coolest show I've ever SEEN!! (right beside Legally Blonde: The Musical and Les Miserables)

AVATAR IMAGE: It changes. Expect a lot of that. Anyway, right now it's Max Records as Max from the new movie Where The Wild Things Are. I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally thought this movie was one of the best I've seen. It was absolutely amazing! It kept its childlike feel the whole time, while also addressing topics like fear and sadness. Plus the Wild Things were incredibly cute, and so was Max. If any of you get the chance, you need to seriously go see it. Maybe go a few times (I know I'm gonna try to!).

TYPES OF FANFICS I WRITE: I mainly write movieverse fanfics, and I typically add in a main OC (and they range from being siblings to children to friends to romantic interests of canon characters). I try to be original with them and add in scenes that happen before, in-between, and after the story...at least, that's what I've been doing after I received some negative reviews for my first two stories, which are basically the plot of a movie with the OC added in. (Come on! They were my firsts! Of course they're gonna be horrible!) My stories usually range around K+ to T, but on occasion I'll write a K rated story (I never write M rated anything).

Another form of writing I do is random poems. I'll have an idea for something one day and then write it out, usually. They're free-verse, because I can't rhyme anything off the top of my head without it sounding really, really corny (I know...I have no skillz). On rare occasions, I'll change the lyrics to a song to fit a certain story (and they're usually kinda cheesy, but people seem to like it, so I guess I'll just leave that alone).

A few of my stories will be original, I can guarantee that. Like I've said, my specialty is moviefics, but once in a while, I'll get an original idea for something and stick with it (or...I'll write it down and then come back to it...I work in strange ways...).

TYPES OF FANFICS I READ: It depends on my mood and where my interests lie. I don't read M-rated stories, and try to stay away from stories that are very suggestive and/or swear a lot (with the exception of Dora fanfics...lol). Sometimes I'll read something funny, sometimes I'll read something serious, it all depends on what I stumble across and what my current obsessions are.

OTHER WEBSITES/ORGANIZATIONS: I am an official member of the International Sprite League (ISL), the Princess Protection Program (PPP), Barnes and Noble, and am subscribed to various musical theater newsletters (I know...can you spell nerd?). I made a fictionpress account (look for MaxTheWildThing1016), but I haven't posted anything just yet.

COUNTRY: U.S.A., baby! And I live in a state...who woulda guessed it? And I totally wish I could at least speak one sentence in a British accent...but, unfortunately, I'm not skilled in that field of expertise (well, actually, I can speak two sentences - three words each - in a British accent...but that doesn't really count...).

SCHOOL: I go to school. And I have homework - lots of it. Story of my life.

HOBBIES: Acting, singing, reading, playing the piano, writing fanfics/self-inserts (whether I post them or not), to name a few. My practically-a-sister (her username on this site is LeiaOrgana57) and I collect loose-neck turtles and other loose-neck animals. Oh, and I also happen to be a hardcore RENTHEAD (shout out to my fellow Bohos! Yeah!), which means I am irrevocably insane and I live life to its fullest...and all because I love the musical RENT. (OMG Mark's my favorite...and I love Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal!)

LOVE LIFE: Skandar Keynes as Edmund from the Disney Narnia movies is completely, utterly FRIGGIN' hot. And so is David Henrie from Wizards of Waverly Place. And while we're talking about boys, I'm proud to say that I'm not one of the millions of girls who think Zac Efron's the sexiest man alive (quite the contrary, actually...).

CURRENTLY READING: Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

BEST FRIEND: To protect his identity, he is referred to as A.K. He and I currently are the world's smallest Freddie Highmore fanclub. Our favorite movies especially are August Rush and the Spiderwick Chronicles. And, according to us, he's a beast and a tank (which basically means he's one of the coolest people EVER).

MY ACTING CAREER: I've been in a handful of shows. Most none of you really care about. But, if you haven't guessed already, I really, really like musical theater. So...yeah.

Favorite Broadway/Musical Theater Shows (cause I'm a nerd when it comes to this stuff!): Legally Blonde, Wicked, Rent, Les Miserables (and, no, it's not "less miserables"...it's lay-miz-er-ob), Phantom of the Opera, Aida, Children of Eden, Seussical, and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. I've only seen Wicked (with Donna Vivino as Elphaba), Legally Blonde (with Becky Gulsvig as Elle) and Les Miz (at the Channhassan Theater while on vacation) performed live by professionals. Children of Eden, Aida, and Seussical I've seen at a local high school (yes, all of them at the same place). The rest...I've either seen the movie or watched a filming of the show on YouTube, but hope to see live in the future.

And contrary to what some people may say...HSM may be part of MTI's collection of musical theater shows to liscense, but it's NOT a Broadway show (nor should it ever be one). Trust me, I've been in it (well, the one act edition, anyway), and although I loved the experience (and getting to act mean to everyone onstage for once - hey, Sharpay comes with her perks), I have to say HSM as a Broadway show would be very...scary...

I watch the Secret Life of the American Teenager, but it's one of those shows where I wish I could stop watching it...but now that I'm sucked in, I just can't. So...yeah...if that makes any sense.

Favorite Pairings: As you can see, I like most cannon pairings and OC pairings. Idk, I'm mostly a cannon pairings type of gal, and it's very rare that I wont' like an OC pairing (but it happens). I like a few non-cannon pairings, and on occasion humorous slash (more humorous guy-slash than fem-slash). And I only like one crossover pairing (cause I don't read a lot of crossovers with different characters being paired up).

Justin/Rosie (What? It could happen...) - Wizards of Waverly Place/Princess Protection Program

Disney (duh-duh-duh...DUH!!): My attitude is wishy-washy. Love most Disney Channel shows, hate most Disney Channel movies (save Cheetah Girls, Camp Rock, HSM, PPP, Twitches, and a select few others). Love most original animated classics, hate most of the sequels (cause they ruin the originals). Love the JoBros and other popular franchise, hate that Disney tries to shove them in your face (it gets old). And I also hate when they come out with an excuse to put an old movie on DVD (it's just a scam to make money). And in conclusion...I HATE HANNAH MONTANA (although most of her old songs are okay, and some of the new ones are tolerable).

Favorite Songs: Most anything musical theater, a lot of film soundtracks/background music, Josh Groban, Eagles, REO Speedwagon, Taylor Swift, Jo Bros (hee, hee), Demi Lovato...note I don't have a lot of real-world music on my playlists. Majority is showtunes.

Favorite YouTube Videos: FRED videos, Where the Wild Things Are trailers/TV spots, The Climb Music Video (Slow-Motion version), Legally Blonde: The Musical (on MTV), Lord of the Flies 1990 picture slideshows (of Ralph, Jack and Simon), Save Broadway (SNL), any Forbidden Broadway videos (fanmade or not), Twilight Trailer Parody, 7 Things Cardboard Parody, August Rush Boot-leg, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Parody, Charlie the Unicorn, the entire movie of "Rent" in four minutes, Evil Strawberry, Les Miz Da Spoof series, Blockbuster Fun (with the Hannah Montana song)

Oh, and I can't forget the Potter Puppet Pals! Hee, hee...very funny stuff. I have the Wizard Angst shirt, too!

STORIES I HAVE WRITTEN AND POSTED:

There's a list at the very bottom of this page...

FUTURE STORIES TO LOOK FORWARD TO:

Bridge to Terabithia will remain as is until further notice, but it will be turned into a fanfiction when I come up with an idea to extend it. A sequel to my Spiderwick Chronicles fanfic will also show up sometime.
