About Me:
Name: Cheryl
Age: 17
Live: Tennessee
School: PFHS
I'm a Junior at Pigeon Forge High School
I'm a proud member of the PFHS marching and concert bands
I play clarinet and I'm even prouder to be co-section leader
I love anything and everything Japanese
Particularly anime and manga
I would love to live in Tokyo if I ever get rich enough
I'm totally spoiled rotten, but ya gotta love me anyway
Deffinitely a hopeless romantic
Asside from drawing and reading, I love to write anything
Particularly random short stories and fanfiction
Be warned...I love my chick flicks!
I love Tamaki and Haruhi more though
I'm totally bored right now...
I work at Claire's in Gatlinburg
Half of my paycheck goes toward a car
The other half is totally for manga!
And i blab on...and on...and on...for no apparent reason!
Plans for the Future:
As of right now, I plan on going to Evensville University in Indiana to study high school education with a minor in Japanese.
I would like to teach either Japanese in America or English in Japan. Of course, I'd switch them around too if I could, but I figure it'd be easier to get jobs this way. Another thing I would like to do would be to translate for an anime/manga company like Tokyopop. It would be totally awesome, but I dunno how realistic that would be. I do want to teach, however, so teach I shall!

Pairings:
(I have bazillions of fav pairings. These are the ones I am obsessing over currently and why they're so great)
Tamaki/ Haruhi (OHSHC)
Hello! It's Tamaki and Haruhi! I'll try not to be too long about this (everyone should know by now how long my obsessive rants can go on for). Tamaki and Haruhi are just meant to be together in both the anime and the manga. I know the anime kinda ended without a pairing, but I think it was a good ending and as Tama/Haru as I should have expected (while keeping them all in character). The manga, on the other hand, deffinitely has it (especially if you've read the latest chapters) and I must say I am overly excited about it. They're just so amazing together! sigh Plus, Tamaki rocks my socks anyway. Gosh, I wish the Host Club was real...
Kyouya/ Haruhi (OHSHC)
Alright, all my friends reading this probably just fell out of their seats. It's true, Kyouya and Haruhi is my second pairing. That is not to say I would like it to wind up canon, mind you, but I think it has merits in its own way. If Tamaki were (heaven forbid!) nonexistent in the world of Ouran, I think Kyouya would be the one she would go for next. And besides, they do rather suit each other (Stares at cover of Volume 6 AGAIN...). But, there is another reason for this- I need fluff, and it needs to be host club realted. I have completely exhausted the depths of Tama/Haru fanfiction and need something good to keep me occupied. Thus, Kyou/Haru comes in to play. I do not think it should happenin the series, of course, nor do I really enjoy the thought of her picking someone other than Tama-chan...It's just rather interesting to read (and can get much more passionite than Tama/Haru, considering the characters...heh)
Sakura/ Syaoran (CCS)
Again, I say-- It's just Sakura and Syaoran! Duh! They are such an obvious pairing and they're soooo cute! I just love wtaching them together, and I must say, Syaoran is amazingly wonderful. He's such a great boyfriend to Sakura...makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Plus, they're just adorable! squee! I loveth them greatly.
Takuto/ Mitsuki (Full Moon)
I love this series, and I love Takuto. He's so great and caring...so it's only natural that I pop in and say that he gets the girl. No offense to Eichi of anything, but...yea. Eichi is just too perfect to me. It's like, I just get this feeling that he couldn't possibly be as wonderful as Mitsuki describes hin as. No one's that "perfect". But Takuto is one of those characters who really isn't perfect and everyone knows it. Plus, he has a great singing voice. They'd be so cute up there on stage singing together...and I mean, come on! He made her dream come true. How great is that?
Kyo/ Tohru (Fruits Basket)
Aww...they make me all warm and fuzzy inside. So awkward and adorable...Actually, I don't partucularly like many of the fanfics that are out there of them, but I do like the pairing, and especially now that Yuki has Machi, Kyo and Tohru just all around deserve each other and they are so amazing!
Edward/ Winry (FMA)
How great! I love this pairing, and I always will! Ed/Win rocks my socks, and I can't wait for more of the manga to come out so i can find out what happens between them! It's gonna be canon, I just know it!
Inuyasha/ Kagome (Inuyasha)
Aww, come on, it's a classic pairing. My obsession for it comes and goes, but it was my first actual anime pairing and I'll stick with it till the end.
My Stories:
Watching
Amine/ Manga: OHSHC
Pairing: TamaHaru
Status: Complete
This story is so wierd...seriously, I got this idea at 1 AM and it just wouldn't go away. I was sleep deprived and a bit more insane than usual. Yup, it's strange. That's okay though, cuz it's still my first TamaHaru and I love it greatly. It shall hopefully be edited soon.
Forget-Me-Not
Anime/Manga: Inuyasha
Pairing: Inu/Kag; San/Mir; Sess/Rin
Status: In-progress
This story is my longest yet and has been going on for a couple years now. It's a realatively good story line, but badly needs editing. And believe it or not, the editing is actually happening! FMN is complete, but has a filler ending until i redo it after I edit. Tis my way of compromising with my own excuses. FMN is also being translated into German by the wonderful Kartarus! If anyone speaks German, and especially if it's your first language, go read his translation off his profile.
Holiday
Anime/Manga: Fullmetal Alchemist
Pairing: Ed/Win
Status: In-progress
This was a totally random storyline, and all of the chapters can actually probably be read individually and you'd get just as much out of it. The original idea was to have the story taking place during special events/holidays throughout the year (one in each month) and that was gonna be it. However, I got a bit confused with the order of some of these events and wound up twisting it so much I couldn't write anymore. I may never continue with this story, but then again I might. It does make for an entertaining read though if you wanna laugh at some blatant stupidity.
Promise of the Travelling Soldier
Anime/Manga: Fullmetal Alchemist
Pairing: Ed/Win
Status: Complete
This story was originally going to be a one-shot based off of the song "Travelling Soldier" by the Dixie Chicks (I love that song and I thought of them when I listened to it once). I wrote the oneshot, however, and since it was my first FMA fic, I just couldn't bring myself to leave it with such a sad ending, so I wrote two more chapters, both of which I'm not very happy with. Read it with them if you dare. Also, the details and everything are really messed up, especially when you look at the movie and everything (which wasn't out at the time I wrote it) so just bear with it. I would change it, but I'd have to rewrite practically the whole second chapter and a little bit of the third to make it work. I'm too lazy. Plus, if I did that, I get the feeling I'd just wind up deleting them. It was better as a one-shot anyway, I think. It was my first finished chapter-fc though, and I love it.
Child of the Universe
Anime/Manga: Inuyasha
Pairing: Inu/Kag
Status: Complete
This was my first oneshot, and was actually inspired by a quote I found in a magazine oh so long ago (I have it in the story, so I'm not putting it here). It's kinda cheesy, but cute, and was my first completed fic, even if it is just a one-shot.
Perfect Day
Anime/Manga: Inuyasha
Pairing: Inu/Kag
Status: In-progress
Wow. This story was the first I ever put up on fanfiction and I must say that it is evident. I went back to reread it and seriously couldn't even get passed that fisrt chapter I was so disgusted by it. My writing back then was so horrible, and the plot just sucks. Actually, I was wanting to keep the plot and change it into a much better carried-out and written fanfic after I finished FMN, but I'm not quite so sure anymore. Regardless, the story hasn't been updated for several years and probably won't be anytime soon. Read at your own disgression.
I also had another fanfic posted called Phantom. It was Inu/Kag and it wasn't as badly written as PD is, but I hated the plot (so cheesy and stupid) and I just could not figure out how to continue it, so I deleted it. Sorry to anyone who may be currently looking for it.
Anyways, that's about it for now. Check out some of my stories please, and drop a review if you have something productive to say. And remember, flames just make me want more fluff. _
Love you guys!
