You don't need to know about me. I'm boring...
Okay, fine. I'm a green-eyed and slightly insane 20-something living in California and going to grad school. I write fanfiction in my spare time...or in the time when I should be doing schoolwork and am procrastinating horribly instead. See? Boring.
Oh, and I'm dirt poor, so don't bother suing me.
My Yahoo IM name is venus_smrf. Feel free to add me.
UPDATING AND E-MAIL INFORMATION as of July 3, 2008:
Well, I ended up going to my graduation ceremony...and skipping out five minutes into it. It was boring, but I managed to get most of the people in my program to ditch with me, so we still managed to have fun afterwards.
Um, I think, however, that this would probably be a good time to apologize for not giving the promised updates. I'm way busier now than I was even when I was still in school, and I'm just not finding any time to write at all. I've probably have ten minutes to myself in the past week and a half, and I can't see that it's going to change any time soon. I'll do my best, because I want to work on the stories as much as the masochists among you want updates, but I just don't know when they'll be coming.
Also, I'm going to Europe next month. Add a little more stress to my life, why don't I?
May 2008:
Recently, several of you have been pointing out that I've been going months--or, in some tragic cases, even a year or more--between updates. I am sorry for this, but it really can't be helped right now. I'm working two jobs and going to grad school full time, and on top of that, I have to prepare for the competency exams I have to pass before I can get my degree. The exams are kind of insanely hard, so I may not be updating anything until they're over. Oh, and I'm now a counselor in the Primary Presidency, so the LDS among you will understand how much time I'm giving to the church, too.
Again, my apologies...but please continue asking for updates. Nagging is the best form of motivation for me.
