Welcome to my profile page I'm assuming you are here because you like my writing, so thank you :D

Thank you for reading my work and please, please, please review. Reviews motivate me and encourage me to write (therefore, reviews = better writing and faster updates).

Also, if you have any questions or suggestions or just want to talk, feel free to PM me. I won't bite, I swear! :)

Other Random Stuff: I've been vegetarian for five and a half years and vegan for two years. I'm fluent in French and moderately fluent in Spanish. If you want to know more, read the things I have bolded in the paragraph at the bottom of this page on stereotypes.

Upcoming projects:
Having to take the semester off from writing really set me back, so that means a lot of things had to be cut from my clearly over ambitious writing plans. What’s listed below is what I’m currently planning on doing in the near-ish future. The time frames in parentheses are when I’m planning on writing them, not when they will be posted. All titles and descriptions are tentative.

Neon Hearts (Christmas Break: now – early January)
Obviously finishing this is still my first priority at the moment. Even if I manage to finish writing it by the end of break, I’ll still be posting one chapter per week.

Favorite Worst Nightmare (Winter semester: early January – late April)
Mello had never intended for things to happen this way. He’d never meant to be a cop who didn’t even bother to follow the laws he was supposed to upholding. He’d never wanted his ‘business’ relationship with that stupid redhead to go anywhere past that, and he’d definitely never wanted to fall in love again. But if Mello was one thing and one thing only, he was a hypocrite. AU.

Retrospect*
No matter how I look at it, my life is defined by him. Everything I’ve done, well, everything important anyway, has either been for him or was because of him. But I don’t care that my life doesn’t even seem like my own. I only have one regret. One-sided MattxMello. Matt’s POV. Sister fic to ‘Nostalgia.’

Nostalgia*
I would do anything to take it all back, to be given a second chance. Even if I could change just one thing. But I’m not sure that it would matter. I’d probably find some way to screw things up anyway. One-sided MattxMello. Mello’s POV. Sister fic to ‘Retrospect.’

These two are still just possibilities, but I may have time to work on them between classes during the upcoming semester. Even if I do have time, however, I won’t start posting them until they are both completely done. Chapters of ‘Retrospect’ and ‘Nostalgia’ would be posted at the same time, and while they would be written so they could be read separately, my intention is for them to be read concurrently.

Pluto was declared no longer a planet on August 27 of 2006 just because it was 'too small' and 'off its orbit' for a couple scientists' likings! If you still think Pluto should be a planet then copy and paste this to your profile! LONG LIVE PLUTO!

Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid. It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry, but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it. You're a 90's kid if... you remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain, AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!, Rocko's Modern Life, Animaniacs, Gargoyles. You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!" You just can't resist finishing this... "in west Philadelphia born and raised..." You remember Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, Boy Meets World. You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. You remember reading Goosebumps. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence... not. When everything was settled by rock-paper-scissors or "bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish" or Ms. Mary Mack. When kick ball was a daily activity. When we used to obey our parents. You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time on a tape. You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genesis became popular. You remember the ORIGINAL Game Boy. You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos... but never taped anything funny. You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, Reading Rainbow, and Ghostwriter on PBS. You remember when Yo-Yos were cool. You remember those Where's Waldo? books. You remember eating Warheads and Splashers Gum. You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladdin, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters. You remember Ring Pops. If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!" You remember boom boxes vs. CD players. Making those little paper fortune cootie catcher things, and then predicting your life with them. You played and/or collected "Pogs." You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere. One word... Trolls. Windows 95 was the best. You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Wild Thornberrys, Power Rangers, Rocket Power. All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand. You collected those Beanie Babies. You remember Carebears. Lambchop's song never ended. Silver dollars, which were cool to have. Everyone watched the WB. If you even know what an original Walkman is. You know the Macarena by heart. "Talk to the hand" ...enough said. You went to McDonald's to play in the Playplace. You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground. Before the MySpace frenzy . . . Before the Internet & text messaging ... Before Sidekicks & iPods ... Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX 360 ... Before Spongebob ... Before Tupac was shot. When light-up sneakers were cool. When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs. When gas was 95 cents a gallon. When we recorded stuff on VCRs. You had slap bracelets! You actually played outside until it was dark! Way back. Before we realized all this would eventually disappear. Post this in your profile if you remember these days...

If you hate stereotypes and think people should just SHUT UP AND STOP, POST THIS! Bold the ones you are.
