Me In A Nutshell:

Hello all! My name is Lyra Alluse (AKA Emma Lee Downs) and I am just another author struggling to make her way in the world. I write music on piano and flute, draw, paint, sculpt, and everything else that falls under the genre of "the arts," and of course, write. You'll have to excuse my horrible grammar during this Biography; school is slowly eating away at my brain, therefore, as you can imagine, my writing has been random of late. Oh well; it happens to the best of us I suppose. Getting back to the subject...I like the outdoors (camping, mountain climbing, etc), playing sports (I've been on many teams including soccer, and ice hockey), traveling, learning new things, eating strange foods (Cow tongue and sheep brain are just a few of the many I have dared to taste),doing extreme sports (sky diving, bungee jumping, the works) and getting the most I can out of life by using each waking hour of it to do something new! I will try anything once, just as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others, and am a strong advocate for individuality, and living life to the fullest. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music (especially old rock, techno, and new age), dancing when I get the time, creating languages for the book series I am writing (I have created over forty), hanging out with fiends, and making random documentaries with my video camera. In the future, I hope to be a writer, who illustrates her own books, an artist, a film maker, and whatever else life suggests would be good for me to follow. My philosophy is to live life like it is your last day, and to be an individual no matter what consequences may come of it. Well, that is all the random things I can think of for my Bio, but if you have any further questions or comments about my stories feel free to E-mail me at Hitomikanzaki34@hotmail.com. Until then, I bid you all a fond fare well!

Prologue:

It was dawn; I was in my towel when the ninjas attacked...lol J/K Now on to the real story...I guess you could say I am an adventurer of sorts; I like to travel, camp, try new foods, and meet new people. Just call me "Emma" Jones!

Short Biography:

Hello all! My name is Emma Lee Downs (Better known as Lyra Alluse: my web mistress name), and I like...err...anything that isn't trying to gnaw off my toes really. I have a very open mind and would classify myself as a people person. My interests include writing, drawing, painting, crafting, sword fighting, dagger combat, archery, oriental style combat, and any other art form or fighting style that you can think of. I also LOVE ANIME. My favorite genres are fantasy and Sci Fi, though I do like my adventure books and movies; especially when lots of things blow up! Oh; pretty colors!! lol I HATE the genre of ROMANCE and someday will dispose of it completely with the help of my cat who is after world domination. I like strange people...

Expertise:

I have extensive knowledge of all weapons and combat styles. I am handy at fixing things... (I am good with computers, software, and cars)...and I am good at creating anything I put my mind to. I even made a life size Darth Maul once! (I took it apart later after my sister complained that it looked too scary.)

Who I'd like to meet:

This is a serious list of the people that I want to meet in my life. No really, it is. I figure that this list has to be broken down into two sections; the imaginary people I want to meet (but unfortunately will never get to as they are made up) and the real people (like you) that I would like to meet.

Imaginary People:

Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean," and Doc from "Back to the Future."

Real People:

Anyone who is as random, full of life and crazy as I am. Weird people are my favorite kind of people. Why? Because I am strange myself. But I love everyone. I don't think I've ever met anyone I didn't like.

Well...accept maybe this telemarketer who kept calling and asking me to buy some kind of Internet service. He seriously called ten times! I finally got rid of him in a rather humorous way. It went more or less like this.

Andy (telemarketer dude): Can I interest you in this exciting new service?

Me: Hmm...service. Makes me think of bacon. Yummy bacon. Mmm mmm good. Do you like bacon?

Andy: I am not at liberty to discuss this ma'am.

Me: Ah come on. Can't we discuss monkeys? Or pizza? I love pizza!

Andy: Well...about this product...

My sister (randomly pops in): My hair tastes like a skunk!

Andy: ...

Me: I told you to wash it three days ago!

Andy: ...AOL has a lot to offer...

Me: Does it do windows? Serious; you know how hard those things are to clean?

Andy: You know what ma'am, if you are not going to take this serious than neither am I.

Me: Serious? Who said anything about being serious? I want my car waxed dang it! Can you do that?

Andy: ...I can see our service might not be right for you. Have a nice day ma'am. click

My sister and I: laughing our asses off

LOL So anyway...just as long as you are not a telemarketer we'll get along great. big grin
