Yo! My name is Christina and I am 21.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE EXCUSE ME IN ADVANCE AS THE STORIES WILL NOT BE UPDATED IN THEIR NORMAL TIMELY MANNER. MY BOYFRIEND HAS RECENTLY BEEN IN A VERY BAD CAR CRASH AND BETWEEN TAKING HIM TO THE DOCTORS AND LAWYERS (B/C WE'RE SUING THE BASTARD!!), IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND TIME TO WRITE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I like my tobacco slow burning in Zig-Zags, 1 ounce French Vanilla and Calypso or Oriental hand mixed. Fine and creamy.

I've been into many fanfictions on here, mostly consisting of Togainu no Chi, Death Note, Metal Gear Solid (because Tactical Idiocy is a great set of crack fics), Azumanga Daioh and FF7.

"In The Works" Stories (Death Note, Togainu no Chi, and Azumanga Daioh):

1. Lamentations: This is just a group of random one-shots from the point of view of L Lawliet's belongings and usually inanimate objects around the Death Note gang. Strange, yes, but cute and fun. Will probably add little baubles here and there, no real deadline. Hell, maybe no deadline ever?? And ideas will be appreciated, ma certo. Rating upped to M due to some sexual situations and language, but mostly for an amazing amount of silliness. And a spiffy Matsuda.

2. Snake Fighting Beyond Birthday returns to exact his revenge on L after his supposed Kira-related "death", but his love/hate feelings of obsession and possession develop into something more as his need for revenge changes into the need to stop Kira and maintain L's existence, all while wooing the detective. Angst ridden and will have mad BxL man-sex eventually. BB will be quite zany, just the way we like him. Also, LightKira is the antagonist here, so he is the bad guy and will be treated as such. I apologize if you are a rabid LightxL fan, but if you want some of that, you'll have to wait for the story Novelty to go up. :D

3. The Evolution of Dolls: Takes place most at Wammy House. Main Characters are L, B, and H (who is an OC). Support characters: Wammy, A, Linda, Matt, Mello, Near, The Good Doctor (also an OC). Focuses on growing up and how they cope with the intense situations presented to them. L is, of course, the genius detective. B is, of course, the jealous and admiring back-up who wants to become him. H is a smart girl who arrived with the Good Doctor and is his "obsession". She is essentially the bridge between L and B, who cannot seem to decide whether their relationship is of friendship or hate. Yadda, yadda, stuff happens. You'll just have to wait for it to go up.

4. Creatures: This is, technically, the sequel to The Evolution of Dolls. I won't give anything away, but it is H's story after she is taken from Wammy's to Toshima. So, if you haven't yet figured it out, this is a crossover between Death Note (somewhat) and Togainu no Chi. I might post it only under Togainu no Chi, though. It will be better than this summary sounds, and of course you'll get wonderful Gunzi love (because he is one of the greatest psychopaths ever). Joy.

5. Novelty: This is the sequel to Evolution of Dolls and Creatures, but you won't necessarily have to read Creatures to continue on to this story. This is when L is working on the Kira case with Light and they go through the works... It will eventually be LightxL pairing. They come to somewhat of a stalemate between themselves. L finds out that H has emerged from Toshima and she joins their group. Then, in good fashion, B comes back to haunt everyone as one of the other greatest psychopaths ever. Joy.

6. Teacher Supervision: I am stealing artist-chan's story. No joke. But she said it's cool. ;D She did a one-shot AU of L as the professor, Light as the student who has a man-crush on him. I'ma make that thing go boom, boom, boom, BABY. I hope you like it when it comes up, artistaaaa-channn!

7. Epiphanies: The gals of Azumanga Daioh doing what they do best while confusing the rest of us along the way. A lighthearted compilation of comedic moments from the perspective of the Azumanga Daioh cast. Will probably be written along the same lines as my Lamentations story was, with lots of crack and random pop culture references. And btw, Osaka is my idol. ENJOY!

Completed Stories (Death Note):

1. Reciprocity: AU mega-one-shot. L and Light pairing (sorry if you dislike; I like them for the personalities, that's why I'm using them in an AU). It starts with a kiss, but of course two genii must make things way too complicated for the simple world surrounding them called college.

2. Dear L: Short, drabble-infused one-shot. Beyond Birthday's point of view of L as he watches him eat cake. Connected to my Snake Fighting story as this is a present to me for it being so well-received. :)

I have 2 more years to go for two Bachelor's in Classical Studies (Greek Civilization and Roman Civilization) and a Minor in Italian Studies. Yay!

I've had the same boyfriend since I was 15, and he and my brother are the most important in the world. :) (Had to throw in a shout out somewhere).

I surf and snowboard, but cannot skateboard. Unfortunately, my balance stops there. My mom and I do the Long Beach bike marathon sometimes. Haven't been very active recently, which is sad because I love the outdoors.

I love traveling the world and have been to Germany, Italy, Switzerland, UK (temporarily), Hawaii and Washington (I know, I know), Mexico, Baja California, and Costa Rica (oh, my love for black sand beaches!!). And, btw, I'm a Southern California girl. Chicka chicka yeah! Hit me up if your in the LBC!!
