| Victoria of Memphis |
 Poll: I know it's kind of early to be doing this, but I'll ask anyway. Which one of my AF stories, TVH or TRoA, would you most like me to update more frequently? This sounds completely cheesy, but every vote makes a difference! Seriously. Vote Now! |
Author has written 2 stories for Artemis Fowl. Hi! I'm Victoria (previously 'Victoriarty197', 'victoriahf197', 'Victoriarity', 'Victoria Holmes' for a short while and another name that I can't exactly remember). As you can see, I'd been debating over my pen name, but finally decided on "Victoria of Memphis", "Victoria," for short. Also, you can call me VoM, if you like initializing stuff. As you can also see, I was born in Memphis Tennessee, and don't live very far from the city now. Anyway, I'm glad that you took the time to click by and check out my profile! Oh, and if I ramble, please realize that I will (probably) get back on topic eventually. This is my profile, though, and I believe that I have the right to ramble if I so choose. You know, one of the first things I wonder about a fanfiction.net writer/reader, is if they're a guy or a gal. Well, just to let y'all know, I was born a girl and intend to stay that way. I love reading and writing, but I suppose that you've already guessed that. I also love singing and playing the piano. And I'm a HUGE animal lover. Okay, about my stories: I am not dead, nor have I abandoned my fic "The Return of Athena". I didn't like the way that I started that story out, and am currently in the process of rewriting it. I do have a bonus that goes along with the rewrite, though: I'm adding a plot twist to it (a really cool one, in my opinion. But then, I am the one writing it). I was thinking over the whole reason for why something happened (something without which would make the story so AU that I wouldn't even want to TRY and write it), when I had an idea. An idea that made me remind myself of our own dear Artemis. *tries to vampire-grin like Arty, succeeds, and scares people reading* Anyway, in (more or less) the words of the famous Monty Python; "I'm not dead yet!" (I'm sorry, but I just love that line.) I actually do have an idea as to where The Vapmire Heir is going, I'm just having trouble getting there. And, the fact that my life has become totally crazy lately so that I have no time to write doesn't help matters, either. Some books and book series that I am reading or have read are; Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter (of course), Artemis Fowl, Victoria Victorious, Inheritance Cycle, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Despereaux, Tuck Everlasting, (the original) Peter Pan, A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Royal Diaries. As to T.V., I love Criminal Minds, Glee, N.C.I.S., Blue Bloods (partially because Tom Selleck is in it) and C.S.I (New York is my favorite.) My thoughts on the C.S.I. series is that NY has the weird but cool cases, Miami has the drama, and (no offense to C.S.I; C.S.I. fans) the original is just gross. And that's compared to the other C.S.I.'s. But, each to his own, I suppose. I also like other shows, but these are my favorites. My favorite play is "Wicked"! Seriously, if you haven't seen it yet, go buy tickets. Now. I also like "Cats" and "Monty Python's Holy Grail". (Remember the "Not dead yet" reference earlier in my profile?) Um, my favorite movies would be "Inception", "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus", "Alice in Wonderland (2010 Tim Burton version), "Pirates of the Carribean series", and probably some more that I can't recall at the moment. Note that I don't like what they did with the Percy Jackson movie, and my PJO fan friends totally agree with me. I mean, it was SO OOC! They were totally off. I'm kind of afraid to see how badly they'll butcher Deathly Hallows and Artemis Fowl (if the AF movie ever comes out.) Favorite song? "Can't Be Tamed" by Miley Cyrus. I also like "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri, "Last Name" by Carrie Underwood, "When I Grow Up" by The Pussycat Dolls, "We Belong To The Music" by Timbaland, featuring Miley Cyrus, and I occasionally listen to Lady Gaga. As is also apparent, I like different types of music, including pop, rock, country and classical. The Sorting Hat says that I belong in Ravenclaw! Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose intelligence is surest." Ravenclaw students tend to be clever, witty, intelligent, and knowledgeable. Also, my patronus is apparently a rabbit. (Though, I would prefer a wolf or a dog.) Hmmn, Ravenclaw house, a rabbit Patronus, and most people would say that I'm very nice but a bit on the odd side... That sounds a lot like a certain quirky blond from HP we know, doesn't it? My favorite ships: Mostly I go for whatever is canon. But, there are a few exceptions... Harry Potter: (Ugh. HP can be hard to decide good ships for.) Harry/Ginny Hermione/Ron Neville/ Hannah( This actually IS cannon, believe it or not.) Bellatrix/Rodolphus Bellatrix/Voldemort (Remember the start of the chapter "the Flaw in the Plan" where Voldy falls down and Bella babies him a bit? That was kind of funny, once you think about it when not caught up in the suspense of the book.) James/Lily Severus/Lily (I feel bad for Sev. I don't think that he would be a pleasant person to be around all the time, but he isn't evil or anything. Not really, just heart-broken. Although, he really shouldn't have taken it out on Harry just 'cos he looks like James.) Artemis Fowl: Root/Vinyaya (If they did get together with someone, I think that this would be a good choice.) Artemis/Holly Artemis/Minerva (What? I like both Arty ships! Although he can relate more to Minnie, I think he loves more and would be happier with Holly.) Juliet/Mulch (Ha! Not really. But that would be funny!) Angeline/Artemis Sr. (like I said, I'm very canon.) Foaly/Cabaline (When I started reading AF, I liked Foaly/Holly. Of course, then Foaly had to go and get married... Also, I was kind of young then. Okay, younger, anyway.) Percy Jackson: Percy/Annabeth Percy/Rachel (They were cute, but if I had to choose one, it would be Percabeth.) Hades/Persephone (if only Demeter would leave them alone!) Poseidon/Sally (That would be good for Percy, but what about Paul and Amphitrite, then? Also, there's Tyson...) Paul/Sally (What is with her and P names? Poseidon, Percy, Paul... Why wasn't she named Polly Jackson?) Ares/Aphrodite (Aphrodite doesn't deserve poor old Hephaestus!) Athena/Annabeth's Dad (this also might not work because of the same reason Poseidon/Sally wouldn't work. *sighs dramatically* Curse you, you frustrating Ancient Greek Mythology! *shakes fist at sky, thunder rolls ominously and lightning strikes barely two inches away* Agh! I mean... Sorry, Zues. *mumbles apology* Yeah, sory about that ramble. Anyway, here are the all-too-well-known Copy and Pastes! I have about 6,739,364,237,437 of these, so take a seat, guys (You were probably already sitting, so just stay seated, I guess.) Okay, please ignore the awkwardness of the statement in parentheses! (And yet more rambling... Oh, right, Copy and Pastes!) Amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic. Silence is golden but duct-tape is silver. Flying is simple. Just throw yourself at the ground and miss. Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make them when nobody's looking. Don't steal. The government hates the competition. If at first you don't succeed, change the rules. Life is like a box of chocolates - it's full of nuts. Education is important. School, however, is another matter. If you can't beat them, join them. Then take over. Why is "abbreviation" such a long word? Lead me not into temptation. I can get there just fine on my own. Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door. People are like slinkies; basically useless, but fun to push down stairs. The severity of the itch is directly proportional to the reach. Where there's a will, make sure you're in it. On the other hand, the early worm gets eaten. Experiance is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting the lesson. It's always the last place you look...of course it is, why would I keep looking after I found it? If the grass is greener on the other side, you can bet the water bill is higher. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. Just when they think they have all the answers, I change the questions. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. Once, I thought I made a mistake, but I was wrong. If "the pen is mightier than the sword", how come "actions speak louder than words"? Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Try to teach a man to fish, and he will resent you for trying to make him work. I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it. There's nothing wrong with arguing with yourself, it's when you argue with yourself and LOSE that it's weird. I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. I'm not insane, and the voices inside my head agree with me. Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together. I'm not retreating. I'm advancing in a different direction. Smile! It makes them wonder what you're up to. It's bad luck to be superstitious. If at first you don't succeed, erase all evidence that you tried. A student who changes the course of history is probably taking an exam. Never agree to plastic surgery if the doctor's office is full of Picassos. If you steal from one person, it's plagiarism; if you steal from many it's research. Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular. If you attempt to fail, and succeed, then which have you done? I intend to live forever, or die trying. You say I'm not cool. But cool is another word for cold. If I'm not cold, then I must be hot. I know I'm hot. Thanks for embracing it. "Never put battery acid in the pool, or sludge." ~ My Dad The newscaster is the person who says "Good evening" and then tells you why it's not. Don't you dare tell me the sky is the limit when there are footsteps on the moon. Be insane... because well behaved girls never made history. Person #1: Happiness is just around the corner! My knight in shining Armour turned out to be a loser in aluminum foil. Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers. - - What are the three words guaranteed to humiliate men everywhere? - Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling. He who laughs last didn't get it. I'm the kind of girl who will burst our laughing in the middle of a dead silence because of something that happened yesterday. I don't obsess! I think intensely. A recent survey stated that the average person's greatest fear is having to give a speech in public. Somehow this ranked even higher than death which was third on the list. So, you're telling me that at a funeral, most people would rather be the guy in the coffin than have to stand up and give a eulogy. I'm not so good at advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment? You're a great friend, but if the zombies come chasing us, I'm tripping you. Someday your prince will come. Mine took a wrong turn and is too stubborn to ask for directions. Never put off till tomorrow what you can avoid altogether. Do unto others before they do unto you. Nothing is illegal until you get caught. Be nice to your kids, they'll chose your nursing home. Follow your dreams... except the one when you're at school in your underwear. A Lawyer will do anything to win a case, sometimes he will even tell the truth. Um, this joke is a bit cheesy, but I thought that I might as well share it with you all: "What is the most common blood type among hippies? B-Positive, Man!" Yeah, that's probably easier to understand when heard, not read. Please note that I didn't copy this from someone else, it is original to Victoria of Memphis!

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do . . . write to these men?

That way you're a mile away from them and you have their shoes." "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." I stay as confused as a gangster with a skateboard "Everything here is eatable. I'm eatable, but that my children is called cannibalism and is frowned upon in most societies." ( Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) Your mom looks like Voldemort (oooooh burn) Therapist = The/rapist... scary thought Don't call me emo or I'll cry big juicy tears of blood and pain and then I'll die and it will be ALL YOUR FAULT! Your weirdness is creeping my imaginary friend out Tell the truth and run. All things considered, insanity may be the only reasonable alternative. When angry, count to ten, when very angry, swear. "Have you ever noticed that if you rearranged the letters in mother in law, they come out to Woman Hitler?" Why do people say, "You can't have your cake and eat it too"? Why would someone get cake if they can't eat it? "When life hand you lemons, throw those lemons right back at it and tell life to make its own dang lemonade" Don't mess with me I've got a stick I'm so gangster, I carry a squirt gun. I used to be normal, until I met the freaks that I call my friends I ran with scissors, and lived! The greatest challenge in life is to find someone who knows all your flaws, differences, and mistakes, and yet still sees the best in you. "When life gives you lemons, make grape juice. Then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it." "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it." "Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else" "Real girls aren't perfect, perfect girls aren't real." "I'd rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I'm not." "Why is it that people are fine with everyone having a different job or going to a different school, but if you say you follow a different religion, you are weird?" "What is easy is not always right, and what is right is not always easy." "Guns don't kill people. I do." A good friend bails you out of jail. A great friend is sitting in the cell next to you saying "Damn, that was FUN!! Let's do it again tomorrow." "The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from a mental illness. Look at your 3 best friends. If they're ok, then it's you." "Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." They say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well, I think the guns help. If you stood there and yelled BANG, I don't think you'd kill too many people. Ever had writers block when talking? Life isn't passing me by, it's trying to run me over. Smile, and the world will smile back at you. Laugh, and they'll all think you're on drugs. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear intelligent until you hear them speak. If I could get a firm grip on reality, I'd choke it. "This calls for a particularly subtle blend of psychology and extreme violence." People can be divided into three groups. Those who make things happen. Those who watch things happen. Those who wonder what happened. Congratulations on being the captain of the third group. Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them. Straight is something crooked that was bent. Insanity is a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world. I used to have super powers, but then my therapist took them away. Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence. Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity was framed. I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing. The voices in my head tell me that you're all crazy to think that I need therapy. If you can keep your head while other people are losing theirs, you probably don't fully understand the situation. The white man said, "Colored people are not allowed here." The black man turned around and stood up. He then said: "Listen sir...when I was born I was BLACK, When I grew up I was BLACK, When I'm sick I'm BLACK, When I go in the sun I'm BLACK, When I'm cold I'm BLACK, When I die I'll be BLACK. But you sir, When you're born you're PINK, When you grow up you're WHITE, When you're sick, you're GREEN, When you go in the sun you turn RED, When you're cold you turn BLUE, And when you die you turn PURPLE. And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away... Post this on your profile if you hate racism My mind works like lightning...one brilliant flash and it's gone. If you have a long bio/profile, and wish to hereby enhance the length of said autobiographical document, copy and paste this to said world wide web page to make said autobiographical document increase in length, number of words, interestingness, and other things which would be known as fun, copy and paste this piece of information to your said autobiographical document. - Come over to the Dark Side, we have cookies! (And used to have Draco and Snape, I might add) - Come over to the Nerd Side, we have pi! (My Dad's a bit of a nerd, so he loved this when I told him.) Life's unanswered questions . . . If Jimmy cracked corn and no one cared, then why is there a song about him? When someone asks you one thing that you would want most on a deserted island, how come no one ever says 'A BOAT'? If an African elephant comes to America, is it an African-American elephant? Why do sleeping pills have warning labels that state 'Caution: "May Cause Drowsiness"? Why does the Easter bunny carry eggs? Rabbits don't lay eggs. What happens if a black cat walks under a ladder and breaks a mirror? What would happen if you found a four-leaf-clover under a ladder? If mirrors need light to work, what happens if you put night vision goggles on in the dark and look at a mirror? Why is it written "May contain traces of peanuts or other kind of nuts" on peanut butter jars? Are people stupid enough not to realize it themselves? YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN AUTHOR IF... You talk to yourself a lot. (e.g. Hmm, what would happen if it was sunny the day Bella got hit by the van? Oh, story idea!! Must get computer!) You talk to yourself about talking to yourself. (e.g. 'Why do I constantly ask my self random things?') When you talk to yourself you often talk to yourself like you're talking to someone else. (e.g. 'Have you ever noticed that deliver could mean someone's liver?') After uttering a profound peice of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand with awe and say, "Wow,this stuff is great for sugar highs...' You live off of sugar and caffine (the two greatest things ever discovered!) You'll check your e-mail every day of the week and then dissappear off the face of the earth. You're e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random. When replying to an e-mail, you'll never actually address the point of it. You tend to collect Bic Stics off the ground like picking pennies off the ground. No matter where you are in a room you never have to get up to find a pen/pencil and paper. The letters on your keyboard are wearing off. (once a key actually fell off!) Your friends and family think that you have carpal tunnel syndrome. People think you have A.D.D. You think it'd be cool to have A.D.D. You zone out even with other people. You constantly start talking in third person, present or past tense. You start thinking about making lists like this and start giggling for no "apparent" reason Your friends stopped looking at you funny for no apparent reason a loooooong time ago. You're profile is REALLY long. Your computer runs out of memory. You can't stop writing! And FINALLY, the one way to tell if you're a good writer: You failed English 101. (It's official;I'm an Author.) Things I Am Not Allowed To Do At Hogwarts: (OMG you guys, this is so funny that I had to post it on Facebook.) 1) The Giant Squid is not an appropiate date to the Yule Ball (oh, the fanfic possibilities...) 2) I am not allowed to sing, "We're Off to See the Wizard" while skipping off to the Headmaster's office 3) I am not allowed to take out a life insurance policy on Harry Potter 5) I am not allowed to give Remus Lupin a flea collar 6) I am not allowed to bring a Magic 8 Ball to Divination 7) I am not allowed to say that Seamus Finnegan is "after my lucky charms" 8) I am not allowed to start a betting pool on this years Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Whenever Snape takes points away from Gryffindor 20) I will not say the phrase, "Get a Life" to Voldemort 21) First years are not to be fed to Fluffy 22) I will never ask Harry if his 'Voldie senses' are tingling 23) I will not make, "OMG" a spell 24) It is not necessary to yell, "BAM" every time I Apparate 25) I will not steal Gryffindor's sword from Dumbledore's office and use it to patrol the hallways 26) I will not poke Hufflepuff's with spoons, nor shall I insist that their color's indicate that they're "covered in bee's" 27) "I've heard every joke possible about Oliver Wood's name" is not a challenge 28) I will not use Umbridge's quiz to write, "Told you I was Hard Core" 29) If a class-mate falls asleep, I will not take advantage of that and draw a Dark Mark on their arm 30) House Elves are not acceptable replacements for Bludgers 31) I will not start every potion's class by asking Snape if the potion is acceptable as Body Lotion 32) I will not call the Weasly twins, "bookends" 32) I will not call the Patil twins, "bookends" 33) Tricking a school House Elf to strip off it's clothing does not make it mine. Yes, even when I yell out "PWND!" 34) Gryffindor Courage does not come in bottles labeled, "Firewhiskey" 35) I will not dress up as Voldemort on Halloween 36) It is a bad idea to tell Snape he takes himself too seriously 37) I will not tell Sir Cadogan that The Knight's Who Say Ni have challenged him to a duel, then have all the students say, 'Ni' from various directions 38) I will not tell the first years that Professor Snape is a vampire (even if I belive this to be true) The University professor challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?" A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!" "God created everything?" The professor asked. "Yes sir", the student replied. The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil." The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question, professor?" "Of course", replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?" "What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question. The young man replied, "In fact, sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat." The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?" The professor responded, "Of course it does." The student replied, "Once again you are wrong, sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton 's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of Darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present." Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?" Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil." To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you're embarrassed when they open themselves. 4. Greet everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral. 5. Meow occasionally. 6. Stare at another passenger for a while.

Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: "This is my personal space." 14. When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn't you. 15. As you are coming to the end of the journey, get emotional and have a group hug. Tell them that you will never forget them. 16. Ask if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones. 17. Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend.

Ask people which floor they want, say in 'Who want to be a millionaire' style is that your final answer. 32. Also in your bellboy act, ask what floor they want. Whatever they say, give them a glare and say "you should be ashamed of yourself!", and leave the lift tutting. 33. Ask, "Did you feel that?" 34. Tell people that you can see their aura. 35. When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay. Don't panic, they open up again." 36. Announce in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host body." 37. Dress up in a long, black cloak with a hood, stare and in a deep voice announce "It is time..." 38. When you get in the elevator, don't turn back around to face the doors. (This is simialr to number 2, I know, but my Dad came up with it. He's an elevator engeneer, and has been for nearly 30 years.) 39. Place a large box in between the doors, so that they cannot close.

I am the girl that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cell phone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain. BUT I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn’t care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with fiction, who can express herself better with words than actions, who doesn't need a guy to complete her, and knows the importance of the little things.
