I don't drown my sorrows; I suffocate them with chocolate. ~ Author Unkown

Hey, welcome to my profile! You're probably reading this profile for the following reasons, a) you are pissed at me for not updating, b) you're kinda worried that I might of died, or c) you wanna learn more about me. Well, fear not, young children, I shall answer all these questions! Ahaha. Anyway, as you can tell, I'm not dead (... which is a good thing, by the way), and as for me not updating... that's mostly just do to my chronic laziness. It's not that I don't want to do it - it's more along the lines of not being able to force myself to sit down for long enough to produce a decent chapter.

By the way, I'm looking for a good beta, is anyone interested?

Also, I've decided that I will take requests! It's a lot easier to write something when you're inspired, and new ideas tend to do that for me :) so send away!

If you have any more questions about my writing or things you'd like to see, just message me! Or contact me at:

I call myself Moe-shi for a couple reasons, and it is not because I'm a major pervert. The name Moe (in Japanese) actually translates to 'bud' or 'sprout', and... okay, I actually don't have a huge story behind why those words mean a lot to me, they just kind of do. I just like the idea behind them. The start of somethings life... and spring. I love spring, as well as... really all seasons. But I especially love the look of fall and spring (and the beginning of winter, although that tends to get old), they're both so... beautiful! God. I'm a sap. (AHAHA, did anybody else get that?!)

Anyway, my favourite anime to write is Naruto, as anyone that reads my stories can tell, my favourite character being Sakura. I'm maybe a little too much like her. I think it's a good thing. I love her with basically any other character, pretty much.

I used to be more of a tomboy than anything, but recently I'm getting more in touch with my girl side. I still feel way more comfortable in basketball shorts and a tank top, but c'mon, everyone likes getting complimented in the halls, and ogled at by guys. It's a good feeling. I figure eventually I'll find an even medium.

The following things are basically the things that define me:

1) My art. It's something I've been doing since I was maybe only... what, 0? It's always been a part of me, and maybe being kinda good at it has helped pique my interest. I'm much better at sketching than drawing on the computer, but I'm trying with that anyway.

2) My writing. People have told me that's what I'm best at. I don't know, but I know I enjoy it a lot. I tend to be good at conveying emotions through my writing, which is why I have a lot of trouble writing with no emotions, like news reports.

3) Acting. I love it. I know I'm not that great at it, but I still love to do it. My confidence while acting needs to go up, though (which is ironic, because I'm usually very confident).

4) Swimming. I've been able to swim since I was probably only a couple of months old, and been able to dive since shortly after that. I used to be really talented in the diving apartment, but after trying to do a back flip from a high platform when I was five, and landing the wrong way (on my back, OW), I've kind of stopped doing diving quite as much. It's part of the reason I get nervous when I'm up high now (usually I'm more scared when I'm not really high up, and I'm not really down low). Anyway, I would spend every second in the water if I could, especially the ocean.

That's basically it, and if you'd like to learn more about me, then don't be afraid to message!

This is a song I wrote for a boy from my school that died earlier this year. He was hit by a train. It was really sad, and it's kind of what I thought I would feel if I'd been close to him. It's also partially for a best friend of mine that got a brain tumor when we were only 8 (she became unresponsive after a surgery - a vegetable kind of), and only died maybe a year or two ago.

Why did things have to end like this?
We were all in such a bliss,
We never thought that it would
Be like this...

There's so many things left unsaid,
All the people that you haven't met.
And the secrets we never got to share!

So all I'm gonna do is sit and pray,
Until this ugly nightmare goes away,
And you're back where you belong.

You know, I remember all those times...
It was just the normal craze,
I never thought I'd think of them
As... the golden days.

There's so many things left unsaid.
All the people that you haven't met.
And the secrets that we never got to share!

So... I'm sittin' here, with my guitar,
And I'm-I'm remembering...
All the times we got to share!
And even when the pictures fade,
I'll always... I'll always remember you.

I know it's not that great, but I guess it's supposed to be a memoir more than it's supposed to be good. Also, I hope to post more songs on the better I get at guitar, although that may take a while. As for poems, I have little... moments when I write a lot of poems. We'll see when I have another one of those.

c o m i n g _ s o o n

Jump In (title may change, this was just something I thought up two seconds ago)

Summary: /"Mou, Sakura-chan, I wanna see you in your bathing suit!" "Ugh. They are NOT swimming with me." When Sakura was told they were joining schools with Konoha Boy's Academy, she decided she didn't mind sharing her classrooms. What she didn't realize, is that she would have to share her water too. AU SakuxMulti (I'll probably change the summary too... sigh)

Pairing: Sakura x Multiple Characters

Rating: T

Inspiration: I love to swim myself, and... yeah. That's pretty much where I got my inspiration. Ahaha

o.O.o

The Baker's Daughter

Summary: "I don't want to be a baker dad! I want to be a kunoichi!" When a ninja comes to her small town, nobody's suprised that Sakura is drawn to the strange man. What nobody expected was that he would be drawn back. AU SakuxNaru

Pairing: Sakura x Naruto

Rating: T

Inspiration: I don't know what inspired me, but I've had this on my mind a long time. I think it may of been a dream.

o.O.o

My Mother's Notes

Summary: When Sakura finds notes belonging to her late mother, she can't help herself but try and retrace her mysterious parent's steps. What she finds, however, is not at all what she expected, and part of her wishes she'd never even looked at all. Saku x ?

Pairing: Sakura x someone, I'm not sure yet.

Rating: T

Inspiration: I'm not too sure, but I think it had something to do with P.S. I love you, because I think it would be cool to follow letters, or maybe to retrace someones steps. Anyway, I'm going to start this soon, because I've been thinking about this for years.

o.O.o

What I Want

Summary: "I want a man that's understanding. One that cares, and would bring me flowers and write me love letters." After years of heartache, she starts to recieve mysterious gifts from a hooded stranger, exactly what she'd hoped a man to be. Now, if only she could MEET him. AU SakuxGaa

Pairing: Sakura x Gaara

Rating: T

Inspiration: I was inspired by this movie I watched (I can't remember what it was called) when this person said, "Words are stupid. Actions are what really mean something." and I thought how sweet it would be if someone wanted to do things for you, but was too shy to show his face! Aww...

o.O.o

The One

Summary: As a well paid secratary to the man of her dreams, anyone would figure that Sakura Haruno would be happy and married to him by now. The problem: "I don't like fat girls." but she was about to change that. Everyone's after the new her, but who REALLY cares about her? AU SakuxNaru SakuxMulti

Pairing: T

Raiting: Sakura x Naruto, Sakura x Multiple Characters

Inspiration: This is another one of those transformation stories, but more so about realizing what's important to her. I think that's really important, and this idea comes to mind when thinking about that.

o.O.o

My Hime

Summary: Nobody expected her to come back, but as the princess of the Hyuuga, she wasn't about to let her people live with out her, no matter how much they wanted to. AU SakuxNeji

Pairing: Sakura x Neji

Raiting: T

Inspiration: I don't remember what inspired this, but all I know is I have an outline for every chapter written out, I just haven't gotten around to writing the actual chapters. They've been sitting around for the past 4 years, and they MUST be written!

o.O.o

This One Time at Band Camp

Summary: "Call it. Come on, Sakura, doooo it!" Everyone's seen those numbers scrawled on the side of bunk buds, and there's a reason why you should never call them: because you never know just who they'll belong to. AU SakuxIta

Pairing: Sakura x Itachi

Raiting: T

Inspiration: Like the summary says, I've wondered too!

These might take a while to start, cause I wanna finish Black Rose first! But I'll try my best to start and finish them, too! Also, if there are any specific story ideas you really want to see written soon, just tell me, and I'll start that one first!

c u r r e n t _ s t o r i e s

Ongoing:

Black Rose

Summary: After leaving an abusive relationship, Sakura finds solace in Naruto's arms. AU. NaruSaku Warning: Violence

Pairing: Sakura x Naruto

Rating: T

Inspiration: I'm not really sure how I was inspired to write this one. I just know I wanted my first story to be really epic, and I also knew most good things came out of bad things. I might have gotten some of the inspiration from a movie, because I tend to do that... :P

A/N: It's kind of dark in the beginning, but it's not 'cause I'm sadistic or anything, it's just how the story needed to be set up for certain feelings to be portrayed.

o.O.o

Born to Be

Summary: I was never meant to beautiful, but then again, rules are meant to be broken and I was never really one for giving up. AU SakuIta

Pairing: Sakura x Itachi

Rating: T

Inspiration: Basically, I feel how she feels. Or at least I used to. Recently, I lost maybe 20 lbs? Anyway, I feel a lot better than myself, and I was able to transform myself into the person I wanted to be. I didn't want to just do a totally cliche transformation story, I wanted to write something that had a real backstories and more emotion than usual. I hope everyone likes it!

A/N: In it, I might make up some fake 'high fashion' things, because... well, I don't really know much about it, but I wish I did.

Hiatus:

Because This is What it's All About

Summary: /"This is gonna be so much fun, guys! We're all gonna bond-" "GET YOUR CHICKEN-ASS HEAD OUT OF MY FACE!" "..." "SHUT UP DOBE!" "... Never mind." Sakura was beginning to think going to the lake house was a very bad idea. AU SakuxMulti

Pairing: Sakura x Multiple Characters

Rating: T

Inspiration: It was actually Spring Break when I started this, and all I could think of was things that could happen this Spring Break/summer! And... this idea was born.

A/N: I got sick right after March Break started, and I couldn't focus on anything, let alone a story. I decided that I would wait until I at least finished Black Rose to do this one.

Finished:

Train Ride to Hell:

Summary: /"Random stranger, are you trying to RAPE me?" His smirk became more apparent, "I'm not sure if, 'rape' is the best word." ItaSaku AU

Pairing: Itachi x Sakura

Rating: T

Inspiration: I was inspired to write this on a train. Kind of a weird place to be inspired, but I really wanted to write a oneshot and the setting helped me decide on one. :)

A/N: I tried to make this one humorous, my other one being so serious. Anyway, I hope nobody is offended! Everything is meant to be taken lightheartedly! Also, I might make some more oneshots to go with this, although it will still technically be done, with random updates.

g o o d b y e s
