GO SEE IT!), "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"...Yeah, um, I could go at this all day. Seriously. I have a DVD collection of 200+. I'm just listing titles as I see them on my DVD rack or stuff I saw in the theatre recently. I go to the movies every weekend. So I see just about everything.

On the To-Do List:

Update: (1.16.2009) All ideas on the "To-Do" list have been scrapped. I'm in college now so I don't have very much time to write at present. I've got my hands full enough as it is. So for now, I have no new fanfics planned. I dunno if I will continue writing fanfiction after I wrap up "Howling Moon" and "Kagemusha". I've got my novel, so I'd really want to focus on that more. But...we'll see. If there are going to be any works in the future, I'd probably break up "Kagemusha" into parts that correspond to Dragon Man 180's "NTKH" series. Otherwise Aki's POV will get INSANELY LONG. Haha.

Future Plans:

-I'm writing a novel, if you're interested, I'll give you a plot summary and if you promise to NOT STEAL ANYTHING I will send it to you.

Update on Novel #4: (7.6.2009) I'm up to Chapter Eleven of my vampire novel, but I haven't been working on it too much. I'm in the process of rewriting the entire thing, which I just started on 6.30.2009, my novel's first birthday--aka, one year since I first began writing it. However, I plan to continue writing both the original, The Mirror Trilogy: Book One, Mirror and the rewrite, The Sons of Arcturus (Unknown Official Novel Title). I will try to publish both versions. Hopefully one version will make it. Also, I have been toying with a second series follow-up to the vampire trilogy I'm currently in the process of writing. It would be a sequel series to The Sons of Arcturus series, and it would be called Queen of the Immortals. However, I haven't got much of the plot worked out for it, so for all I know, it may just end up being one book and The Sons of Arcturus could very well become an official novel title instead of just the series title, in which case, the entire vampire story would be around 4 books long. Hopefully. Anyway, just wanted to provide a bit of an update on the novel's status. I'm thinking of getting a Twitter account, so for my readers, if I decide to get one, I'll put up a link and you can follow me and freely nag me for updates on the fanfics and anything else. Anyway, it's nearing 1am Pacific Time, I should get some sleep. Peace!

If there is anything else you wish know about me that I failed to cover in this already far-too-long profile description, please do not hesitate to PM me or email me. I shall respond to you in a timely manner and answer any questions, requests, etc, that you may have.

Seriously. Go ahead, email me. I don't bite, honest.
