About the Author

Well, let's see...I've been described (and described myself) as an obsessive fangirl. I love to read and write (although, for some reason, multi-chapter stories tend to end up unfinished). I'm a hopeless romantic and I love angst, so those themes somehow manage to crop up in everything I read or write. I have too many favourite couples to name. I sometimes wish I lived in one of my favourite fictional worlds, but alas, that is not to be. School has taken over my life, so writing is taking a back-seat (unfortunately), and I hope to eventually finish the stories I've started. Aside from reading and writing, I like to play video games, draw, and go out with my friends. I dislike spiders (greatly), and I tend to dislike OC's in fanfictions--there are exceptions, of course, but not that many. And I get really angry when others get angry about the fandoms and (sometimes cliched) storylines that are popular in different sections. That's about all for now :)

Quotes:

1."So tell me, how does it feel to be living in a constant haze of stupidity?" -Hiei (Yuu Yuu Hakusho)

2. "Kurama, there is no one who does not carry scars on his heart. If there were someone in the world like that, they'd be a shallow soul" -Hiei (Yuu Yuu Hakusho)

3. "Why? In some cases, we learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. This is one of those cases. I could tell you why, but at the moment it would only be more confusing. If you grow up with any kind of sense-which you sometimes make me doubt-you will very likely reach your own conclusions...They will probably be wrong. However, since they will be yours, you will feel a little more satisfied with them." -Dallben (The Book of Three)

4. "Comes from a barrow, eh? I suggest getting rid of it immediately. Never had much confidence in things you find in barrows. It's a bad buisness having anything to do with them. You can't be sure where else they've been and who's all had them." -Fflewddur Fflam (The Book of Three)

5. "No life should be born for the sole purpose of dying." -Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia 1)

6. "Us hero's, we have so much to do." -Mizuti (Baten Kaitos: EWLO)

7. "I don't know. Some things in life, we're just not supposed to know." -Xelha (Baten Kaitos: EWLO)

8. "But I'm a computer hacker...a safe cracker, and a butt smacker...And I've got just the equipment to trim your hedge." -Aoi Kyogoku -aka Flippy- (Imadoki!)

9. "But of course! It may be difficult for you to understand now, Yuki, but these are all forms of...MEN'S ROMANCE! Maids and nurses, waitresses and stewardesses abd secretaries! Sailor suits and cat ears, rabbit ears...There's too many to list! In these simple fashions, men chase their dreams and bring their romantic fantasies to life! There's no crime in pursuing your dreams to escape the harsh reality of life. Its no different than the romantic urge to peek into a woman's bath!" - Ayame Sohma (Fruits Basket)

10. "The feeling that has now sprouted in your heart is what is called a man's romantic fantasy! A man is a being whose heart is swayed by a single costume, after all. This is good! I understand. Of course I understand! This wondeful day shall be known as -- The day of Yuki's Romantic Fantasy!" -Ayame Sohma (Fruits Basket)

11. "Young Lord, be careful. I know you're good-hearted, well-meaning, kindly, with a sweet and innocent nature. Therefore, you're about to do something stupid." -Mafoo (The Remarkable Journey of Prince Jen)

12. "Let me analyze it. Ah. Yes. I can identify the subtle ingredients. One part fried cabbage. One part wandering livestock. Two parts old rags. Four parts sweat. The rest, a concentrated absence of cash. Mixed with the correct proportions of thievery, beggary, and a generous pinch of greedy officials, it is called 'Sublime Essence of Wretchedness'" -Mafoo (The Remarkable Journey of Prince Jen)

13. "Ah, I see how it is now. You two are nuts! If you get me killed in there, I swear I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you forever! You've been warned." -Kalas (Baten Kaitos: EWLO)

14. "Sounds nice on paper, I'll give you that. Staying nice and fair, while the whole world falls apart around you!" -Kalas (Baten Kaitos: EWLO)

15. "The Derris Emblem is Mithos' darkness itself. He was oppressed as a half-elf, then praised as a hero, then betrayed. It is his hatred and resentment toward that." -Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia)

16. " But despite all that, I could feel how strongly she loved the world, so much that it hurt. Even though it wouldn't have been strange if she'd hated it, just like Mithos. Yes...I think she would be willing to sacrifice herself to save the world." -Colette Brunel (Tales of Symphonia)

17. "...Incompetent good intentions will only bring tragedy. If you intend to do what is right, you need the strength to accompany that. You lacked that. You were weak." -Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia)

18. "...Power is more than just your physical strength. The strength to acknowledge your crimes. The strength to remember them. You must have them as well." -Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia)

19. "Humans are shameless creatures that carelessly ignore any misfortune which does not befall them directly. They can --and often do-- turn a blind eye to all manner of wickedness so long as it does not touch them or their kin. They will bow their heads, condemning those victims for bringing calamity upon themselves, and then they will cast their eyes toward heaven in thanks while their neighbours lay dying around them." -Soren (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)

20. "Yes! We must! Have you forgotten Nasir?! It's that sort of naive attitude that allowed him to remain undetected for so long! You people don't seem to get it. We are at WAR! All doubts, no matter how small, must be extinguished. If they aren't, we may well be ignoring something that will lead to our defeat. Or to our death." -Soren (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)

21. "Don't say things like that! I'm shocked that you would understand such subtleties. Who are you, and what have you done with Ike?" -Ranulf (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)

22. "You there, in the bushes. You have until the count of five to show yourself before I start throwing sharp objects. One...two...four..." -Volke (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)

23. "I'm in favor of helping her. That's what heros are supposed to do." -Boyd (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)

24. "Really? I never thought I'd hear that. Ike didn't sleep because he was thinking. I wonder if Soren will start being polite..." -Titania (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)

25. "If I have no purpose it is because my life has been made deliberatly purposeless! I am not trusted enough to be given the responsibility of a purpose!" -Drago (Sinner)

26. "Ibn Bashir, count the blessings of your birth stars that a butcher needs no more brains than the meat he carves." -Husari ibn Musa (The Lions of Al-Rassan)

27. "Yeah, it's an off day when I don't get somebody telling me how edible I smell." -Bella Swan (Twilight)

28. "Men always believe they are in control of everything around them,...When they find out they are not, they think they have failed, instead of learning a simple truth women already know." -Aviendha (The Fires of Heaven)

29. "As we skulked back to the makeshift garage, I contemplated my luck. Only a teenage boy would agree to this: deceiving both our parents while repairing deangerous vehicals using money meant for my college education. He didn't see anything wrong with that picture. Jacob was a gift from the gods." -Bella Swan (New Moon)

30. "I was thrilled. This had to be it, the recipe for a hallucination--adrenaline plus danger plus stupidity. Something close to that anyway." -Bella Swan (New Moon)

31. "You're wounding my ego, Bella. I just proposed to you, and you think it's a joke." -Edward Cullen (New Moon)

32. "A fine thing. The High Lords of Tear sweated when Rand al'Thor looked at them, and the Cairhienin might offer him their throne. The greatest Aiel army the world had ever seen had crossed the Dragonwall on the orders of the Car'a'carn, the chief of chiefs. Nations trembled at mention of the Dragon Reborn. Nations! And if he did not find his clothes, he would sit waiting on permission to go outside from a lot of women who thought they knew better about everything than he did." -Rand al'Thor (The Fires of Heaven)

33. "Ike...Please live...Even if all the cities burn, and the seas swallow Tellius...You mustn't die...Not you..." -Soren (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)

34. "Men!...Too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves." -Min Farshaw (The Dragon Reborn)

35. "Of course, ... after you leave, the thought may strike me that it's a pleasant day for a short ride to go picking wildflowers, which might be hard to find, especially since it's almost winter. Not that I'd be following you, you understand. But I might, by accident, lose my way, and mistakenly happen to catch up with you. By then, it would be too late for me to come home, through no fault of my own." -Eilonwy (The High King)

36. "Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality." -Richter Abend (Tales of Symphonia 2)

37. "Well, isn't it? "Dumbo" for Dashing, Undaunted, Majestic, Brilliant, and Oh-so-sexy! D-U-M-B-O-Decus!" -Decus

"You idiot, it's not an acronym! I call you Dumbo-Decus because you're D-U-M-B dumb!" -Alice (Tales of Symphonia 2)

39. "You don't have to do it all yourself. I can be your knight." -Decus

"Don't you mean my slave?" -Alice

"I'd be happy with that too." -Decus (Tales of Symphonia 2)

40. "Though, if you think about it, hostile, dethroned pseudodeities probably make disagreeable neighbours. You'll have to figure out something to do with him." -Breeze (Mistborn)

Notes -- Last Update: November 5th, 2009 @ 9:57 AM

Yeah so, I've decided both my Kingdom Hearts AU and my ToS2 story are on hiatus for the time being. Partly because I'm at a writer's block for both but mostly because I just don't have the time to work on stories with an actual plot at the moment. I'm back at school, so with essays to be written and midterms to work through, I don't have the energy to pour into them right now. I won't abandon them (probably) but they won't have any progress for a while.

So for now, I'm going to stick to my one-shot collections. They're relaxing and don't take up quite as much energy as a long fic.
