"Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today, oh I wish he'd go away."

This is Pauline: Seventeen-year-old half-Filipino trying to be as perfect (physically, successfully, intellectually...) as everyone who surrounds her in Los Angeles; high expectations comes when you've lived there all your life. Though, she gets way too distracted by fanfiction for that to happen. In fact, she's been addicted to fics since she was eight years old! When she's not reading/writing such stories, she's drawing, saving icons, being swamped by schoolwork, and cutting her nails.

I also made an (incomplete) list of the fanfiction that have influenced, inspired, or set guidelines me over the years on this website here, complete with my own commentary and notes about the stories mentioned. Understandably, the dominant fandom amongst should be Hey Arnold!, since I had grown up with this fandom, but the list is not completed, so more from Hey Arnold! and other fandoms are to come.

Full list of inspiration here.

Warning: Don't read her stories here, especially ones listed as "HIATUS". They're awful, and all so old, reflecting the 11-year-old Pauline complete with lack of experience and a lack of taste! Though, feel free to read recent ones, especially ones from her Writing Journal.

Contact: Email or PM is recommended, especially for writing related inquiries. MySpace message for personal things. IM just to chat.

August 4th, 2009:
Most of you must hate me by now for not updating this stupid thing since May 10th. And I'll probably piss you off even MORE by letting you know that everything is on temporary hiatus. It's almost my senior year, and seeing as how the last update was right before my life had gotten very hectic, between AP tests, SATs, a new boyfriend, work, life problems, etc., I realize I simply cannot handle this. I might be getting to my writing though. Maybe. In my free time, hopefully.

That's me
