Author has written 2 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

First off ... LOOK AT THE INSANE HOTNESS OF MY AVI (he'll ge irratated from me doing this but i don't care... -fangirl squeel-)
GOD HE'S SOO CUTE WHEN HE SMILES !!

Anyway... I am a 14 year old girl & as u've noticed, I'm a TOTAL Zane-fan. I luv him 2 death !! (fangirl squeel) (If I go fangirl 1 MORE DAMN TIME... AUGH !!(srry. I hate it when I go fangirl but I can't help myself) -anime sweatdrop-)

Note: New website. It's: http://caritrruesdale.webs.com/

Name: Good luck getting that outta me but here's a hint : I was named after a city in Australia

ATTENTION: MY COMPUTER CRASHED!! Sy's Solem Hour is going to be on temporary hitaius untill I get it fixed. I'M SORRY GUYS!!

Lives in: The state nicknamed: The Tarheel State (my fav basketball team is the Tarheels. That means I'm a die-hard Tarheel fan)

Fav music: Anything by Evanescence, Hoobstank, My Chemical Romance, Nickelback, Seether, Within Temptation, music I learn in my chorus class, 80's rap, Rock-n-Roll of the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and today and anything rock/country

Music I hate with a passion: MOST RAP AND BOYBANDS (someone will murder me before I listen to bands like N'SYNC & backstreet boys)

Fav activities: Fanfiction, drawing, read a small history book, read yugioh & gx comics, chillin with my friends

Fav movies/TV shows: Movies: anything with action/adventure, slight romance, historical movies, slight comedy and anything related 2 yugioh/GX. TV shows: yugioh/GX, NCIS, & Hell's Kitchen

Movies I hate with a passion: (consider me a tomboy 4 this 1) CHICK FLICKS (minus The Titanic), HORROR & CHILD-ISH MOVIES (shoot me)

Basic things I do: Chill in my room, listen 2 my music, get on fanfiction, surf the web a little, go 2 school, play around with my new cellphone that I got 4 my b-day

Fav books: Twilight saga, Harry Potter series, comics, history book.

My fav websites other than fanfiction: Youtube (music vids and GX eps subbed and dubbed)

Other things about me: I read the Twilight saga & the Harry potter series so I can't say that 1 is better that the other. I like vampires but the 1 exception is Camula. I'm a major history geek. I NEVER flame ANYONE ! My favorite weapon is a 9-millimeter gun & will only use it on Camula, Aster & Yubel because they hurt my Kaiser-kun in some way. Other that Kaiser-kun, I REALLY like Sy but Kaiser-kun ALWAYS steals my heart. I only have 2 friends that have an account on FF. They r: Wolfang and chicknlittle1895. Wolfang doesn't like GX but me and chicknlittle1895 LUV it. chicknlittle1895 has this HUGE crush on Sy. We created a list of ppls we knew at school and compared it to the teens of Duel Academy, saying which character would b who. O MY GOD, IT WAS BLOODY HILARIOUS !! XD We kept laughing our asses off 4 weeks ! I have a stuffed animal collection and among that collection r: my favorite angel teddy-bear and my Zane-plushie -huggles Zane plushie and pecks its forehead- I had a Syrus plushie 2 but I don't know what I did with it (T.T) I'd b devistated if I lost my Zane-plushie -huggles it tighter-

I'm making part of my profile a laugh-ur-ass-off-at-me segment but they're all true events and I can't help but remember them and share, so... LAUGH AWAY !

My worst blond moment: I lost my phone when it was on vibrate and I decided 2 hunt it down and wait till I knew 4 a fact that I lost it and have my mom call it and then find out that it's in my back pocket. Here's the story:
Me: Ah shit! I can't find my phone!
Mom: Call it when u know 4 a fact that it's missing?
Me: Plz and thanks.
So I search my whole house and run outside 2 see if I left it out there and go 2 my grandparents and search their house. When I get back 2 my house...
Me: DAMN IT !! I JUST HAD 2 LOSE MY PHONE !!
Mom: Call it?
Me: plz.
And she calls my phone and I feel something vibrating in my back pocket. I pull out what ever was in there and that thing was... my phone
Me: -slaps self in the forehead- I'm an idiot ! -runs back 2 room and bangs head againt the wall 3 times- INSANE DUMBASS ALERT!
Mom: (-.-0) o-kay.

Another retarded moment: Me, chicknlittle1895 & her sister decided 2 put on make up. We made ourselves look like faeries with the cool-lookin swirls on our eyes but the messed up part was the fact that I had bright red LIPSTICK on my left eye and black eye shadow on the right side of my lips. "I can't beleive that I made u look like Harley Gwen from Batman" chicknlittle1895 said. She and her sister bust out laughing. I glared at them with the best Zane-glare that I could manage and one could swere that they heard a slight growl coming out of my throat.

This happened when I was a 2nd grader going 2 3rd grade: I said to the principal of the school that he looked like my grandfather. I was an immature 7 year old back then so I kinda got cut some slack. -blushes a little-

Fricked-up conversation between me and Zane (true story on the caffine)
Me: Zane's possibly getting a kick outta this.
Zane: -laughs- A bit.
Me: -jumps 2 feet in the air- WHERE THE FILP DID U COME FROM !?
Zane: I've been standing here 4 the past 3 hours watching u type
Me: -blush intensifies- oh...
Zane: Another retarded moment?
Me: Uhhh... maybe.
Zane: note 2 NEVER give Caroline caffine at 2 in the morning, cuz this is the effect.
Me: Hey! -T.T-
Zane: What ?! I can't help the fact that u get hyper from drinking half of a 2liter pepsi and 1/4 of a 12 pack of pepsi a day!(True story! I drank that much pepsi that day. It was fucking hilarious XD)
Me: That was mean. T.T
Zane: It's the truth.
Me: -bangs head against the computer screen-
Zane: -.-0 Uh... Is there a reason?
Me: I'm hitting myself in the head 4 all of the fricked up moments in my life. And trust me, THERE'S A TON OF THEM !
Zane: -.-0 Uh... okay
Me: This is a recorded conversation on my phone. (I deleted it though -.-0)

Another fricked-up conversation between Me and Zane:
Me: -laughs- The last conversation was the most fricked up conversation yet
Zane: -sighs- This is an insane reason not to EVER give Caroline caffine.
Me: KAISER-KUN!
Zane: What ?! It's not my fault you drink WAY too much caffine
Me: It's not my fault that I'm addicted 2 caffine!
Zane: Whatever. I swere you spend WAY 2 much time around Atticus
Me: Look, I'm NOT turning in 2 him so CHILL !
Atticus: Who's not turning in 2 me ??
Me and Zane: -groans- Oh Lord! WHY THE FLIP DID HE HAVE 2 SHOW UP !?
Atticus: I can leave if u want me 2.
Me and Zane: PLEASE !!

(yeah... I kinda go crazy when I have 2 much caffine -.-;)

Fav characters from GX: Zane (the Kaiser of Duel Academy.), Syrus (Zane's little brother), Alexis (the ONLY female main character), Jaden (Sy's best friend), Jesse (DUDE !! A Jaden with a southern droll. SHWEETNESS!!), Prof. Banner(history teach), Chazz (the arrogant pain in the ass but he can be nice) (in that order)

Hated Characters from GX: (1st 3 r gonna get shot by a 9-millimeter gun 2 the head): Aster (the destiny dumbass that beat Zane and caused him to go Hell Kaiser), Yubel (She... killed... Zane !! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE HER 4 THAT !! -sobs in Zane's chest really hard-), Camula (evil vampire that hurt Zane !! DIE U SORRY BITCH!!), Blair (I'm gonna beat tha shit outta that girl...), Harrington Rosewood (Ah jeez... KILL ME !! -aims 9-millimeter gun at my head but Zane slaps it outta my hand and holds me close and I blush-~ -4 those who have seen ep 15, u know what I mean-), Crowler (the weird teach that put Jaden in the Slifer dorm when he clearly belongs in Obelisk Blue) Atticus (he annoys the hell outta Zane and 1 of these days, I'll kill Atticus 4 Zane. -smirks and begs 2 hunt down Atticus with her 9-millimeter-)

~Okay that part was fake but I think that would happen if Sy tried to commit suicide and Zane found him (minus the blush part, that's something I'D do)-.-;

Ppls keep annoying others on which Truesdale is hotter. Which team are u on? Team Zane or Team Syrus? (Team Zane 4ever. I'm srry but Zane is HOT!! I mean ... I like that cold, badboy type and Zane fits the bill. ;D I like Syrus but Zane's WAY hotter.) (Hey, srry 4 using the Team-thing. It was the best way i could put it. XP)

Fav pairings:
JadenXAlexis (These 2 are SOOO cute together)
ZaneXAlexis (cute but not as cute as JadenXAlexis and if I can't have him, she can.)
ZaneXSyrus (brotherly fluff is cute so shut up)

SyrusXDMG (Whoever came up with this pairing is a fuckin braniac. This couple is SOOO precious)
SyrusXAlexis (cute but not as cute as JadenXAlexis)
ChazzXBlair (this couple is HILARIOUS !!)
Okay pairings:
As long as the boyXboy pairings don't go too far, I'm fine with them.
Hated parings:
ZaneXBlair (This couple is FUCKED UP !! -shudders- HELL WILL FREEZE OVER BEFORE THEY START DATING !!)
ZaneXSyrus (I don't mind the brotherly fluff but the literal couple... IT'S 100 PERCENT FUCKING WRONG !! THEY'RE BROTHERS ! DAMN!)
ZaneXAster (GAH!! HELL NO !! Fav characterXHated character... Just... no -eye twitch and shudders-)
ZaneXanyone else besides the ones I mention (GAH!! HELL NO !! ... Just ... no -eye twitch and shudders-)
ChazzXAlexis (FUCK THAT !! THAT'S just not right !!)

anyoneXCamula (-screams bloody murder and says this next word dramatically- NO !! ESPECIALLY NOT ZANE !! -holds her Zane-plushie close-)

Fav Quotes from other fanfics:
"Sy...you make me strong," Zane whispered then. "And...I'm going to go back to the pros, but I'm also going to duel for fun again. I don’t say it enough, little brother, but I love you and you mean everything to me. I’m sorry I’ve put you through so much…” Tears ran down Zane’s face as he held his baby brother close. “You just helped me…a heck of a lot more than I’ve helped you…” -The Path to Redemption by:
Peach Wookiee in Chapter 8: Intervention

I can't think of anymore quotes from other fanfics but ...

Here's some of my fav quotes

"Hold forth and keep fighting"- Me

"TRUE friends are like emeralds, the rarest of all. FALSE friends, are like quartz, commonly found." - Me

GX quotes (sub and dub):

Chancellor Sheppard: Who do you elect for the school duel, Zane?

Zane: ... Jaden Yuki. (ep 21 -I'm putting the dub names but you get the point-)

Zane: He's staring down that legendary rare monster like he doesn't have a care in the world. I guess that youth and inexperience have their benefits after all, huh, Alexis?

Alexis: Come on, give it a rest, Zane. At least the kid's showing some backbone.

Zane: There won't be much left of it to show after this. (episode 1)

Zane: Anyone up for just tackling him?

Jaden: Not a bad thought. (ep 47 "DIE CHAZZ DIE" XD)

Zane: She's playing this crowd better than Jaden's playing his deck. (episode 42)

Alexis: Wow, a cold wet dock in the middle of the night. You sure haven't forgotten how to show a girl a good time. (episode 20)

Zane: I love you Syrus, Never forget it.

Syrus: Aw Zane... (episode 32 aka "The ep where Zane saves his baby brother from the sorry bitch vampire Camula")

Zane: A good duelist is ready for anything. And that means not just knowing how to use all of their cards, but knowing how to play them too. (episode 8, aka "In which Zane kicks Jaden's sorry ass")
