Author has written 20 stories for RENT, Due South, Twilight, NCIS, and Strong Medicine. Formerly known as Renthead07, before then BornForBrianKrause, before then, I have no idea, lol. Never ask a lady her age! Horses are by far my favorite animal. I also love elephants, giraffes, otters, tigers, and dogs. I like my cat, but am not a fan of cats in general. That's my second-cousin I'm holding in the picture. I'm totally addicted to my laptop and the internet. I'm definitely introverted and am perfectly capable of spending hours alone, although I definitely desire to be with people sometimes. Favorites TV Show(s): NCIS, Law and Order: SVU, Royal Pains, Batman: The Animated Series, Cash Cab Favorite General Quotes "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke “Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free til they find someone just as wild to run with them" - Carrie Bradshaw "Maybe God wants me to get my own life in order and on track, before taking on someone else's." - Me "Friends are the angels who help you fly." Unknown "Everyone wants to be the sun that lights up your life. But I'd rather be your moon, so I can shine on you during your darkest hour when your sun isn't around." Unknown "It doesn't matter where you go in life. It's who you have beside you." Unknown "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." Unknown "Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about." - My ex-roommate Kelsey "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything." Plato "A true friend is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else believes the smile on your face." Unknown "Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood." Unknown "I might not be someone's first choice, but I am a great choice. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, because I'm good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I've done in the past, but I'm proud of who I am today. I may not be perfect... but I don't need to be. Take me as I am, or watch me as I walk away." - Unknown "Without music, life would be a mistake." Frederich Nietzsche "The things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, even if it's not the way we expect it to." Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix) "I like sleeping. It's like being dead, without the commitment." - Unknown "It's not our abilities that who show us who we really are, it is our choices." Albus Dumbledore "Lord, give me the determination and tenacity of a weed." Mrs. Leon Walters "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Ferris Bueller "Music is what feelings sound like." Unknown "The two hardest things to say in life are hello for the first time and goodbye for the last." Unknown "Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never knew." Unknown "Experience is just the name we give to our mistakes." Oscar Wilde "In your choices lies your talent." Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." George Elliot "What the hell?" My aunt Jill (I just love how she says it, it's hilarious) "Strong is the new skinny." My aunt Jill "Live, Laugh, Love." Unknown I'm a senior in college, graduating in May with a university studies degree, finishing my music minor a year from now. For now, just working until I decide whether or not I want (or need) to do more schooling. My dreams are to groom and exercise ride horses (any breeds), to perform lead roles in Broadway musicals (particularly Rent, Wicked, and Sweeney Todd), to write screenplays (particularly for NCIS), and edit novels professionally (for companies like Harper Lee, etc.) Someday, I want to visit England, Italy, Germany, Antarctica, New Zealand, Australia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Hawaii, Alaska, and South Africa. I suffer from depression and anxiety. It seriously affects my creativity at times and makes for long writer's block periods and a long time between updates. But I'm still writing, little by little, since it's a wonderful escapism for me and makes me feel good when it happens and I'm pleased with it. Thank you all for your patience during this difficult time for me. I've developed some very nice virtual "friendships" on this site. You guys are all awesome. Thank you. That's pretty much a good start to getting to know me. Feel free to PM or email me if you have any questions. Looking forward to getting to know you all. My all-time favorite NCIS fan-vid EVER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhtDgn31XZo. Concerning My Stories: I'll answer all unanswered reviews ASAP. Life has just been crazy. Most of my stories are RENT, but I've branched out in the past and am working on branching out now and in the future. I plan to continue writing NCIS and maybe start an SVU story, once I get ideas. My best RENT story is "De Pelle Sorte." My best NCIS stories are "A Special Bond" and its sequel, "After Anna," which is almost complete. I almost never read slash and I never write it (which is ironic, considering I'm bisexual.) If I do write anything sexual, it's always PG-13 at the most. It's just not my thing. Concerning NCIS: My favorite character is McGee. Not really sure how to explain it, but I've just always loved him, even more so than DiNozzo (because McGee is never an ass, I guess.) I would sleep with them both in a heartbeat, but I would rather marry McGee. Next, I love Gibbs, Abby, Kate, and Tony. Then Ducky, of course, is adorable, though annoying at times. Palmer is great, too, but sometimes annoying, I love his addition to the show and I wish the producers would utilize him more and give Brian Dietzen the starring role he deserves. I like Ziva, too, don't get me wrong, but it really depends on my mood. I also think that, while Kate sometimes was bitchier than Ziva, Ziva can be really bitchy too, sometimes, and they're both very pretty in their own ways. My Favorite Episodes Requiem (5.07) Quotes (In the showers) (Ziva stabs a can to open it for McGee, whose shoulder was dislocated) Gibbs: (to Corporal Werth) You got yourself in a mess, Corporal. Gonna have to get yourself out. Jackson Gibbs: "$20 bill in your wallet is just a piece of paper. You put it on the ground and suddenly, it's full of wonder." Abby: Oh, I can't find my toothbrush; I think it fell out in your car. (Elevator dings. McGee, not watching where he’s going, steps out and runs straight into Tony) Abby: (falling out of the exhaust-filled SUV, into Gibbs' arms) Permission to hug? (During a sexual harassment session, Ziva leans forward and licks Tony's ear) Ziva: All right, but I thought maybe you needed a little cheering up. (The M.E. van pulls up, its windshield splattered with eggs) Pairings Tony as a father, with or without an OC. Not with any of the cast. My Favorite L&O: SVU Episodes Competence (3.22) is my favorite episode so far, because it hits me very close to home (my twin sister is disabled) Favorite Characters My favorite character has always been Munch. Richard Belzer is so freaking funny. I love him. I'm Olivia all the way! I'm in love with Mariska Hargitay. Closely followed by Elliot, Alex Cabot, Fin Tutuola, and Casey Novak, in that order. Quotes Benson: The truth is, everybody changes every day. And some things are more devastating than others. But we are never the same. And there are two ways to deal with these changes: you either accept them, or you fight them like hell all the way. Benson: (reading suspect's paperwork) "Biology of the Amazons," by Gretchen Quinn. Cassidy: (to Detective Munch) Ever think of having kids? Munch: (to Fin) Detective Tutuola, come and pollute your soul with some child porn, my friend. Munch: (on the phone) No, we haven't made an arrest for your stolen condoms. We're a little busy, but we'll get right on it. Munch: Excuse me if I'm alarmed by the total disregard for human rights in this country. Fin: (to Officer Austin Bates) I got no problem shootin' you. Munch: (to Mathers) We're just being helpful. The furnace is a lost cause, by the way. (holds up his hands) Look how dirty my nails are. Stabler: If I die, the spot where I go down, you better make sure none of this happens to it, or I'm gonna haunt you the rest of your days. Munch: I don't just want to rain on your parade. I want to burst all of your floats. Munch: Miss Webber was told to disrobe, put her feet up in stirrups, and try to picture David Hasselhoff on Baywatch. Stabler: How long have you been sleeping with Cassidy? Stabler: (to suspect) You get to Tribeca a lot? Elizabeth Stabler: Daddy, why does Christmas only come once a year? Kathleen Stabler: What, do you wanna read my journal, too? Lawyer: He'll have parole in 38 years. Munch: (to Fin) You have to give me a ride early tomorrow morning, you need some sleep. Fin: (to suspect) You're making me run on my bad knee! Olivia: (to suspect) I'm too pissed to sleep. Cragen: Since when is oral sex not sex? Stabler: Man, I never want to grow old. More to come!! Pairings Olivia/Elliot friendship (SHIP!) RENT Favorite Character(s): Mark. Closely followed by Roger, Angel, and Collins. Don't get me wrong, I love Mimi, Maureen, Joanne, and Benny, just not as much. Pairings RogerOC, MarkOC, CollinsOC (pre or post-RENT, if well-written) Pairings I Dislike Non-canon slash, e.g. RoJo, MarkJo, and MoBenny (no, just NO!!) Quotes Mark: There are times when we're dirt-broke, hungry, and freezing, and I ask myself, why the hell am I still living here?... And then they call, and I remember. Collins: Merry Christmas, bitches!! Mark: Close-up on Mark's nosedive. Will he get out of this alive? RENT. April 29, 1994 - September 7, 2008. I clapped along during Seasons of Love. Anything else you guys wanna know about me, feel free to PM or email me. :) Lots of love to my fellow Rentheads and NCIS addicts!! You know who you are!! | |||||||
