Go here and here to see pictures of my characters.

"Everyone seems normal until you get to know them."

DANGER/WARNING/ATTENTION/CAUTION/NOTICE/etc.!!
Some things you should know before you read my stories:
1. I AM STRANGE, get over/used to it.
2. I tend to use the same character(s) over again. I'm hoping to find that one good story that will make me a millionaire, and I want to have my favorite character(s) in it. (Hey a girl can dream can't she.)
3. I use some inside jokes in my stories. If you have any questions about them just ask, but be prepared for some possible scarring for my friends and I are STRANGE.
4. My stories start out with short chapters, but they will get longer. I promise. Mostly the reason for that is because I just want to post my ideas before my readers get irate.
5. A lot of the time I re-post some chapters because I edit them and add or take out parts. So, if something is mentioned in a new chapter and you think I haven't referred to it earlier I might have edited a previous chapter and added it. So, sometimes you might have to skim over older chapters and find new added parts.
6. Sometimes I don't post anything for a story for a long time. This is due to school, homework, sleep, sports, and because I'm fucking lazy. Also working on multiple stories at once sometimes means I'll post one a lot and then stop and work on another one for a while. I work on the one that I have the most ideas in my head that need to get out before I forget them.
7. If you review my stories I'll review yours, but I warn you I review like a plague of locus. I'll read all your works and continue reading you works in progress, and then I'll read works by people that review your stories. So, don't review my stories unless you like getting lots of reviews.

Location: In my chair, at my desk, in my room, in my city, in my county, in my area code, in my zip code, in my state, in my time zone, in my country (U.S.A.)

I was born in Colorado and have lived here for fourteen years now. Before that I'd lived in Hawaii, Japan, Australia, and Guam. I've been lots of other places too, since my dad's a retired airline pilot. My favorite place is Palau, a small group of islands half way between Guam and Australia. I've had lots of pets and still have two, Siberian huskies named Maia and Jack. I'd love to work as a photographer for National Geographic. I have been skiing for thirteen years now and got invited to the national NASTAR races in Park City in 2002. I also have been figure skating for just as long. I have been doing karate for three years and am a 2nd degree black belt. Other things I do off and on in my spare time in the appropriate seasons are snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing, camping, fencing, archery, and DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) (well I consider it a sport). I also like otaku. And I like any type of music that's not country, western, rap, jazz, or pop, that means I do like techno, Celtic, rock, alternative, soundtracks of my favorite movies and video games, and some other stuff.
