Hi!

UPDATE - Saturday, January 14, 2012

Because I'm being continually harassed by an IMMATURE anonymous CREEP stalker who keeps posting NASTY "reviews" (which are TOTALLY UNRELATED to my fanfics, and are all only just because I left ONE FREAKING bad review for a story that unfairly & inaccurately bashed homeschooling) I am now BLOCKING anonymous reviews & restricting all reviews on my stories to only signed reviews. That way if this jerk posts anymore nasty reviews I can block him or her, and/or report them for harassment & probably be banned from the website.

I apologize for any inconvenience of having to login. I have deleted almost a dozen anonymous nasty reviews that say pretty much the exact same things, almost word-for-word (which leads me to think its the same jerk everytime) and is never a review of the story itself, but rather just calling me a b*tch (and other obscene names) and bashing me for that ONE FREAKING bad review, and my views about the failing education system, and homeschooling. But despite deleting the reviews over & over, this creep obviously has no life, because he/she keeps coming back and posting the same useless, nasty reviews for NO reason!

So as a result, I am blocking anonymous reviews from now on -- at least until this jerk realizes he/she can't bully me and gives up, or he is blocked from my page and/or banned from the website.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience, and I really appreciate all your constructive and informative reviews!

Because of massive writer's block, as well as various life circumstances, I had taken a break from fanfiction for a couple years or so, and have not really written (or even really read many) any fanfics during that time.

But recently, I started writing again, and in the last month or so, have posted a few new fanfics in NEW fandoms like "Revenge" as well as my first fics in older fandoms like "Calvin & Hobbes".

Although I'm planning on updating my current fanfics, sadly, I have been having MAJOR writer's block when it comes to those fics, and though I DO plan to finish at least *most* of them EVENTUALLY, unfortunately, there ARE a couple/few fanfics, I don't foresee ever finishing.

In the meantime, I will also be posting new fanfics that I've been thinking of for a variety of (including NEW) fandoms.

Now about me...

I'm Amita

30-something. Single (& plan to stay that way!) asexual. Gemini. 5'1 (yes, I'm a shorty!). Dark brown eyes. Chest-length, jet-black hair. 2 piercings in each ear & one piercing in nose. Conscientious (for the most part, anyway!) Omnivore. Tree-hugging "Crunchy"/"Granola" Progressive Liberal. Staunchly ANTI-VACCINE, ANTI-Federal Reserve, PRO-attachment parenting, and PRO-"Medicare for All". Secular agnostic-atheist (raised Hindu). Indian-American. Progressive Anti-Corporatist, Fiscally-Prudent Liberal "back-to-the-land" Libertarian-Democrat, European Socialist (http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/07/maher-creates-it-gets-better-video-for-socialists) & Canary Party (http://www.canaryparty.org/)

As you can tell by my screen-name I am a HUGE fan of Benjamin Bratt (who played Detective Reynaldo "Rey" Curtis on the TV series "Law & Order" as well as FBI Agent Eric Matthews in the movie "Miss Congeniality", in addition to various other roles)

My main hobbies & interests are politics, baking & cooking, Facebook, organic food & living and "locavorism" (at least, whenever/wherever possible!), raw milk/dairy, attachment parenting issues (co-sleeping, lactivism, the anti-vaccination movement, homeschooling & unschooling, etc.), reading, travel, the "back-to-the-land" movement & (sub)urban homesteading/sea-steading, singing, dance, alternative medicine & organic (natural) health/disease prevention, permaculture, TV & movies, Bollywood, alternative "green" energy (solar, wind, hydro-electric, biofuels, etc.), sustainable "off-the-grid" organic living, urban/suburban organic farming, survivalism, ethnic cuisines (Greek, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, etc.), ANYTHING 80's & 90's (TV, movies, food, pop culture, clothes, toys, etc.) and the corruption & cronyism in this modern US government's corporatocratic political (and medical, educational, agricultural, and every other) system.

I'm also very interested in music & dance (especially ethnic/world music and the Bharata Natyam & Kathak dances of India), crafts, the Konkani language, creative writing, reading & writing fanfiction, foreign languages, and collecting keychains, porcelain dolls, & 80's-90's toys/memorabilia. I also love spending quality time with my family & friends, and reconnecting with people from the past.

With strangers, in real-life, I'm usually kind of shy & quiet at first, but once I get to know someone, I become a lot more outgoing & fun. I'm often talkative, but I'm also very sensitive & a caring listener.

To learn more about me, see my Facebook profile at:

I enjoy meeting those with different viewpoints & backgrounds and love a good, friendly, CIVIL debate, on various topics, now & then, but I particularly getting to know & become friends with those with similar interests & beliefs, with whom can share common ideas.

So especially if you're politically liberal, anti-vaccine, a "tree-hugger", interested in (and support) "off-the-grid" green living & alternative energy sources (solar, wind, hydro-electric, etc.), "attachment parenting" issues, homesteading & urban/suburban farming, and other subjects as mentioned above, feel free to send me a friend request on Facebook! :)

Well, I guess that's about it!

Please read and review!
