I GOTZ A TUMBLR ACCOUNT! Check it out: tasogareban.tumblr.com. It's a complete mess of my thoughts, my loves, my rants and just about anything that goes through my head at any time. Wanna know what I'm about?? BOOYA, there it is! Go check it out!!

I live in Brooklyn, NY with my fiance, work in a library where I do all my writing and updating and have been a nutrition/fitness junkie for the last year and a half since changing up my diet (helped me lose about 30 lbs and bring me to goal weight too. Woohoo!). When I'm not looking up articles on health, I'm watching tv shows: Doctor Who, NCIS: Los Angeles, Fringe, Castle, Cowboy Bebop, Leverage, Vampire Diaries, Nikita, Bones, Supernatural, Smallville and Psych. Those are my reigning shows but not ALL of the ones that I watch or DVR. You'd figure I'd hurry up and get a life already, right? Lol. There are very few fandoms that I would write about but I've been taking a closer look at NCIS: LA, Leverage, Fringe and Castle so maybe one day I'll veer off into those fandoms and write something small. Or epic. Epic is good. I have already started a new fic, not yet posted. Damn NCIS: LA. Ever since episode 2x10 I've been completely in love with the Kensi/Deeks partnership. Damn it! I'm even trying to get the soundtrack to that TOO. Shoot me.

Ok so EoS is finally done and completely posted here and the soundtrack is done and completely uploaded at my fanfic site. I don't write numerous fics but the ones I do write, I pour my heart and my soul into. So I tend to make epic fanworks based on current reigning fandoms. Hence the Echoes of Summer (Doctor Who) and Ain't Afraid to Die (Cowboy Bebop) endeavors, lol. Concerning the soundtracks, most of the one-shots have a complete soundtrack done usually because it's only one or two songs, at most. However, the epic fics (more than 20 chapters) have equally epic soundtracks. The one-shot songs are already loaded to my google site if you guys want to download. Give them a shot, try them out and if you enjoy the music, go support the artists!! Most of the music I listen to is rock/emo (hence my eternal ANGST!) so the soundtracks will usually be comprised of those types of songs. Now that EoS is done, I'm going to try to finish Moonlight's Darker Seasons and get that done and scratch that off my list. I've neglected it for far too long and I've spent the weekend getting back into the fandom so I can get that feel for the premise and its characters again. I should be able to finish that soon and begin to post again!

Check out my beta's profile at tumblr. Say hi, be nice, try not to ask her to beta, hahahahahahahaha! She seems to have a lot of stuff on her plate lately and pretty much has shut a lot of people down, poor girl: http://bratflorida.tumblr.com.

I also have a livejournal account if you guys are interested in keeping tabs on me, LOL. If you guys aren't interested...ah well. :) Although I do love to make new friends! And I love when people pop up out of nowhere to chat, it's awesome! So stop on by and leave me a message or friend me!

Here are my OTPs:

NCIS: Los Angeles: Kensi/Deeks

Leverage: Parker/Hardison

Castle: Castle/Beckett

Fringe: Olivia/Peter

Doctor Who: Ten/Rose, Ten2/Rose

And a little about my fandom loves, taking from any fandom I want, lol:

1. The first character I fell in love with?
Oh SNAP. Gambit from the X-men. In the comics, not the movie or cartoon versions. Especially when Jim Lee was drawing him. Good GOD.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
Dean from Supernatural. Before I started to watch the show, I thought I understood where all the love came from because I thought it was based on his looks alone. And nope, they don't hurt his cause. However, once I started watching the show, he grew on me.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t:
Amy from Series 5 Doctor Who. Go ahead and flame me all you want. Ya AIN'T gonna change my mind!

4. The character I love that everyone else hates:
Fauxlivia from Fringe. Anna Torv is CRAZY awesome for portraying both her and regular Olivia.

5. The character I want to do:
Mmmm this is kind of a teen question to me, lol. I guess I'll play though. Mmmm Peter from Fringe (PETER, not Joshua Jackson, thanks) or Rick Castle from Castle. I've loved Nathan Fillion for SO long and yet have never seen Firefly! I'd do either Castle OR Fillion, lol!

6. The character I’d want to be like:
Kensi from NCIS: Los Angeles. That damn chick can do EVERYTHING!

7. The character I’d slap:
Yep, still Amy Pond.

8. Favorite character:
OMG from all my fandoms? It's a toss up between Ten (Doctor Who) and Deeks (NCIS: Los Angeles).

9. Who are your five favorite characters?
The Tenth Doctor (DW), Deeks (NCIS: Los Angeles), Rick Castle (Castle), Peter (Fringe), Shawn (Psych). I'm adding a sixth because it's my survey currently and I'm wielding that right: Hetty from NCIS: Los Angeles

10. Who are your five least favorite characters?
Amy Pond (DW) and Callen (NCIS: Los Angeles). I honestly think that's about all of them.

11. Which character are you most like?
LOL probably Donna Noble from DW. She had this mouth on her that does...not...quit.

12. What is your deep, dark secret regarding this?
What, regarding this survey? That it felt at times like it was written by a 13 year old, lol.

13. A pairing(s) that I love:
Ten/Rose

14. A pairing(s) that I despise:
Eleven/Amy. Does it count if they aren't romantic?

15. What are your five favorite things about your fandom?
Oof. Mmm, the dynamic between all the OTPs I have so: the fun that Ten/Rose had. The banter between Kensi/Deeks and Castle/Beckett. The quiet emotional attraction/love between Peter/Olivia. The love/hate relationship between Spike and Faye. And the complete worlds all these shows have created for me to play in if I desired.

Pending:

1. Darker Seasons - Moonlight
Currently being updated and typed up. Not complete at all but getting there. Only posted at fanfiction.net. This one is my current priority, I want to get it DONE and off my plate so I can pay full attention to my NCIS: LA endeavor.

2. Untitled - NCIS: LA fic.
Probably an epic. Am in the beginning stages of this fic.

3. Pave the Way - Inuyasha

4. The Witch Child - Lord of the Rings

I can tell you right off...I sincerely doubt I will ever finish Pave the Way or The Witch Child. Which really sucks because The Witch Child was like three chapters from the end. But it's such an undertaking at this point, especially because I'm not in the right frame of mind for it. For me to really understand even where I myself left the story I would need to reread the stories, probably watch the three movies and then reread my own entire fic. And that...would take me awhile. So...yeah. But let's concentrate on one at a time, yes? :)

I also wanted to post a link to my Youtube page. I haven't done a video in a bit but that's not to say I won't again. I got into making mvs and have made a few for Doctor Who and for Moonlight. Go check them out if you get a chance and leave a comment or rating to let me know what you guys think: www.youtube.com/Tasogareban. Also had a hand in making some of the mvs over at www.youtube.com/Raynechimes.

Anyways, the icon/avatar for my profile was stolen (even though on the website it does say I can borrow as long as I credit!) from http://santa-icons.livejournal.com/. Great, GREAT Doctor Who icons there, LOVE IT! Although I do think the user has since fled lj.

Anyhoo, that's about it! Stop by livejournal and say hi!
