I enjoy writing, reading, singing, procrastinating, amusing people, and spending too much time on the computer. If you give me constructive criticism, I will think you are a most fabulously kind reader. It's reassuring that someone thinks my efforts are worth the time spent writing a review.

In case you were wondering (probably not, but you never know), I've pennamed myself after a necromancer's bell from Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy. Belgaer is also called the Thinker, since it's able to give independent thought and memory to a dead person's spirit (or erase them, if you're being clumsy). Yay for pointless minutiae!

A few of my favorite things are these:

Books:
The Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter
Artemis Fowl
The Thief Lord
Twilight (Give us Eclipssssse, Precious... we needs Eclipse, we wantsss it, yes we does...)
A Series of Unfortunate Events
The Old Kingdom Trilogy
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Stravaganza trilogy
Peter Pan
The Dark is Rising sequence
The Bartimaeus Trilogy
Some other poor books I've forgotten to mention

(I keep wanting to trim this list down, except all these books are really my favorites. I suppose that tells you something about me.)

Movies:
RATATOUILLE FOR THE WIN!
The Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Caribbean
Spirited Away (! x 1000)
Shrek
Anything by Disney and Pixar
The Princess Bride
Ever After

Music:
Josh Groban
Celtic Woman (Used to think they were hacks... this was before I listened to them. I'm a total convert now. Celtic music is in my blood; I'm in love with it.)
The Chieftains
Loreena McKennitt
Ashleigh MacIsaac
Lucia Micarelli
Hayley Westenra
Supertramp
The Decemberists
Vienna Teng
Libera (I don't care what anyone says- choirboys have the purest, clearest, and sometimes the most beautiful voices in the world)
Cap'n Bogg and Salty (Cheerful, hilarious pirate music- I implore you to visit their website and take a listen and see if you don't find yourself smiling.)
Wicked
Candide
Altar Boyz (A musical about a Catholic boy band. A fabulous satire, with songs that are really really catchy in their own right)
The Apple Tree
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Collaborations: I frequently work with the most witty and wonderful Tazzel Quickbow. Together, we have composed the beginnings of a Lord of the Rings Mary-Sue parody and a mad fandom-hopping epic entitled Arguably the Best Fanfiction Ever. The fruits of our labor can be seen at her profile: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/790214/

Long ago, I posted a story here called For Edoras, but I deemed it worthless and took it down. My good friend horsiegurl put it back up in all its unworthy glory, and I decided that as long as it was going to remain online for people to see, it may as well be the best it can be. So now she hosts the story, which has just acquired its second chapter, here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/709289/

And Quotes, since I am a trendy little fanficcer:

"If you are allergic to a thing, it is best not to put that thing in your mouth, especially if that thing is cats." -Lemony Snicket

"You know, if you spent half the time running that you do reading, you'd be the fastest woman in the world." -A classmate to me

"A day without pasta is a day without joy." -a chef on the Food Network

Cheers!
