Well all you wonderful people who like my story(ies) enough to actually come to my profile, Welcome!

Random bit of info I didn't know where to put: If anyone wants an idea, (prompt, plot line, somewhere to start) PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I think there is nothing more tragic than someone who wants to write but needs inspiration.

Age: Take your guess, I can drive but I don't, I can't drink, and I can't sit up on my own either. makes no sense, I know but like I'd ever tell you.

Likes: Reading, whatever I can get my hands on (in no particular order). Drizzt, Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth, Twilight, Abhorsen, Harry Potter, Abarat, Deathgate Cycle, Anne McCaffrey, Tamora Pierce, Riders of the Sidthe, CS Lewis, Jane Yolen, Moorchild, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Xanth!!, Elizabeth Kerner, Wild Angel (Pat Murphy), Black Dagger Brotherhood, Patricia Wrede, The Dresden Files,

Writing anything... except essays

Watching anime on youtube or crackanime/crackdubz (hey it's free and I don't feel like spending my cash):(in the order of favourite first, roughly): Trinity Blood, Vampire Hunter D, Darker than BLACK, Angel Heart, Mushishi, Naruto, Inuyasha, Vampire Knight, Alice Academy, Mermaid Forest Chronicles, Blood (plus), Death Note, Black Blood Brothers, Detective Conan, Weiss Kreutz, burst angel.

Walking barefoot

Chocolate (They declared catsup a vegetable but chocolate isn't a food group? What is happening to the world?!)

Cooking

Working with clay, especially throwing on the wheel

This is the section where I make excuses for my sorry self--

I have been really busy with everything, between getting used to college, not partying too often (Yeah, I'm a real party girl, can you tell?), papers... a guy. Yeah, it's hectic.

As far as my stories themselves go

Desperation in the Night
This story is going very slowly, currently not at all, and I have gotten off of my Inuyasha kick entirely. I think that this will be updated about once a month, if that, and I think this could be my only Inu fic, but I hope that isn't true. I may or may not rewrite chapter 7. It will probably go another 3 chapters tops, and then I will finish with a sigh of relief.

Trinity Blood: Beginnings
This is currently my pet project, and I'm having tremendous fun with it. Sadly, or maybe not, I think I want to write originally too much and not follow someone else's ideas, which is why I love OCs. This will eventually match up with the canon plot, promise. It's actually an explanation of Abel and Co.'s past. You'll see how it turns out, as will I.
This is the first in a two-story arc.

Unnamed Code Geass Fic
Lonely Stalker and I are trying a co-authoring dealy, a humor fic about everything that poor Lelouch had to put up with, from the Student Council President to just bad luck.

Assassin
Not started yet. Oneshot. A Tamora Pierce fic, inspired by a line in Alanna: The First Adventure. Jon hung out with thieves, gamblers and assassins when he ventured out into the city, playing a merchant's son who had befriended the King of Thieves, so what would happen when one of said assassins was hired to kill him? purely for laughs.

Hypocrisy of Jam, What's in a Name
My two oneshots. Both of them spur-of-the-moment type things, as I think most of my oneshots will be.

As you can probably tell I don't plan my fics out, so I never know how long a particular story will last. I actually prefer writing this way, I'm even surprised sometimes by what happens, I guess that's what happens when you let the characters tell the story instead of you.

Lately I've gone on a serious vampire kick, and there doesn't appear to be an end in sight.

I also write a lot on another story, just called "Her Story" at the moment and currently some 36 pages and counting, though I wouldn't post what I have because I plan on publishing sometime (and FF dot net wouldn't let me anyway since it's an original work). If anyone will remember in 20 years I will be writing under the pen name Sheri Joski. Yes it is a pen name. I also write poetry and was taking sculpture and ceramics.

I have A LOT of favourites, I know. However, there are a few who I hold near and dear to my writer's heart.

Spiteful words can hurt your feelings, but silence breaks your heart.

We were given two hands to hold, two legs to walk, two eyes to see and two ears to hear, why then, were we given only one heart?
Because the other one was given to someone else for us to find.

Whoever said nothing was impossible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.

Whoever critisizes our generation obviously has forgotten who raised it.

"Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire."
-François De La Rochefoucauld

“Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.”
-Unknown

“If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.”
-Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister.

My collection of fanfic quotes...

Sess: “I am always a paragon of etiquette.”

A young man had been to Wednesday Night Bible Study where the Pastor had talked about listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice.

The young man couldn't help but wonder, 'Does God still speak to people?'

After the service, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message. Several talked about how God had led them in different ways.

It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, 'God...If you still speak to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.'

As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk.

He shook his head and said out loud, "God is that you?" He didn't get a reply and started on toward home.

But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk.

The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli.

"Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk." It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.

As he passed Seventh Street, he again felt the urge, 'Turn down that street.' This is crazy. He thought, and drove on past the intersection.

Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street.

Half jokingly, he said out loud, "Okay, God, I will." And at the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh.

He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi-commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark, like the people were already in bed.

Again, he sensed something, 'Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street.' The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat.

"Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid." Again, he felt like he should go and give them the milk.

Finally, he opened the door, "Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something, but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here."

He walked across the street and rang the bell.. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, "Who is it? What do you want?" Then the door opened before the young man could get away.

The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. H e looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. "What is it?"

The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, "Here, I brought this to you." The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway.

Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face.

The man began speaking and half crying, "We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk."

His wife in the kitchen said, "I asked him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?"

The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face.
He knew that God still answers prayers.

The Meanings of Japanese Honorifics (because I know that if you're like me that you wanna know :D):

-san: this is equivilent for Ms./Mrs./Mr./Miss it's the most common honorific and it can be used for whenever politeness is required.

-sama: this is one level higher than "-san" and it's used to confer great respect.

-dono: this comes from the word "tono" which means "lord." this is an even higher level than "-sama" and confers utmost respect.

-kun: this is used at the end of boys' names to express familiarity or endearment. it's also sometimes used by men amongst friends or when adressing someone younger or of a lower station.

-chan: this is used to express endearment, mostly towards girls. it's also used for little boys, pets, and even amoung lovers. it gives a sense of childish cuteness.

-bozu: this is an imformal way to refer to a boy, similer to "kid" or "squirt."

-sempai/-senpai: this signifies that the adressee is one's senior in a group or oranization. it's most often used in a school setting, though it's also used in the workplace.

-kohai: the opposite of "-sempai" used by upperclassmen towards lower classmen.

-sensei: literally meaning "one who has come before" and it's used for teachers, doctors, or masters in any proffesion or art.

(blank): this is usually forgotten amoung lists, but it's perhaps the most significant difference between Japanese and English. the lack of a honorific means that the speaker has permission to address the person in a very intimate way. Usually, only family, spouses, or very close friends have this kind of permission. known as "yobisute", it can be very gratifying when someone who has earned the intimacy starts to call one's name without a honorific. but when it hasn't been earned, it can be very insulting.

Controversial Issues:

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbids single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service- sector economy, or longer life spans...

Re-post this if you believe in legalizing gay marriage.
