Hiya! My name is Cait. I'm from a small, unimportant town in a slightly larger, still unimportant state. I think I can be summed up by what most people say about me: "I'd be surprised, but it's you."And the fact that I tripped and fell down the stairs at my high school graduation. My philosophy: "Everything good in life is either illegal, immoral, or fattening". I have two tumblr blogs, one is my personal ramblings and rebloggings - it's at trivialqueen(dot)tumblr(dot)com, the other is for the occasional snip of a story or pictures of the fanfiction kind, it's at parrottgal(dot)tumblr(dot)com.
I attend the University of Iowa and I'm on the Rowing Team.

A note about my Fics 'Snippets', 'Oddments' and 'Oddments Reprise': If you have any prompt ideas for an Snippet/Oddment feel free to PM me, I love inspiration.
