a little about me: i am a 20-something graphic designer who is an avid cleveland browns fan and a hardcore book nerd. i live for good music, and i love to hang out with my crazy family and my best friends. fanfiction has sort of taken over my life, and im not even mad about it.

music i cant live without: the beatles, kings of leon, jack johnson, laura marling, sam bradley, bon jovi, frank sinatra, dean martin, o.a.r., marcus foster, muse, johnny flynn, bobby long, van morrison, rihanna, taylor swift, dave matthews band. i like mostly everything, except that screamy-emo-bullshit.

useless, random information:
-- sarcasm is my constant companion.
-- i really should have been born british. i can do a flawless english accent, and i plan to move to london one day.
-- i have a dirty, unladylike mouth.
-- rob pattinson's voice literally makes me downright giddy.
-- i basically major in "that's what she said."
-- my favorite typeface is helvetica neue light.
-- i am absolutely fascinated with psychology and its related fields. my favorite class i have ever taken is abnormal psychology.
-- somewhere deep down, im a girly-girl, but it rarely surfaces.
-- my macbook pro is like an additional limb.
-- i cannot walk across a flat, stable surface without finding something to trip over.
-- i keep at least 2 band-aids in every single purse/bag i own on account of my clumsy tendencies.
-- i am exceptionally easily entertained.
-- i could basically recite every book of the twilight saga word-for-word.
-- i am so similar to bella cullen that the first time i read the series it actually freaked me out. personality, mannerisms, physical appearance... exactly as SM describes her, thats me, to a tee. the only real differences are that i have green eyes, not brown... aaand i am unfortunately sans-edward.
-- i have some sort of aversion to capital letters. unless they're used for emphasis or for an acronym, i really can't stand them.
-- im trying to go back and read all the classic books that my sucky high school did not require me to read, now that im older and can appreciate them.
-- i was a cheerleader for six years, but people who have met me after those six years never believe it.
-- i live with my best friend, who is a boy, and people think that's weird. its not.
-- i wish the harry potter world was real, and that edward cullen would find me and marry me instead of bella. sad, i know.

some of my favorite quotes: "reality leaves a lot to the imagination." ~john lennon
"you have bewitched me, body and soul, and i love, i love, i love you. i never wish to be parted from you from this day on." ~mr. darcy, pride and prejudice
"in three words, i can sum up everything i've learned about life - it goes on." ~robert frost

regarding my fanfiction: for now, i am writing solely as jacob black. i thoroughly enjoyed hearing jake's POV in BD, and though i think of myself as an edward girl, for the sake of m writing let's just say i'm team switzerland. (can't we all just get along?!) i love jake's character a lot, as i always have, and i hope that comes across in my version of him. we speak the same language - sarcasm - and i find it very easy to be in his head. it's comfortable. i think i'll stay here for a while. ;)

above all, i need to thank my beta and my amazing friend, AHelm, for being there for me through every step of this process. i'm so glad we share a brain. ILYSFM, P&S. (hey, you out there! go read her stories!) lots of love also goes out to my MoW twisters - y'all are the coolest people i know, and i'd be lost without a support system like you. i love you all so incredibly much.
