Shakespeare (If you want to hate me for it, go right ahead.All I'm asking is, why couldn't he have spoken normal English? Also, I know this contradicts one of my favorite movies, so let me specify: I hate READING Shakespeare.Watching a movie where you can interperet it a little easier makes it so great.)

feeling fat

bad hair days

sharks/crocodiles/alligators (how about this: anything that can eat me whole)

Crocs. Enough said.

So, I've got ideas for tons o' stories. So while I get all of my thoughts on them sorted out, please bear with me, 'cause I'm doing the best I can. I'll keep you all updated on how they're coming along as best I can. Here are my newest ideas:

A Walk to Remember - It's What We've Gotta Do: Landon and Jamie's wedding...with a twist! Their parents can't accept it and their friends think they're crazy, so Landon and Jamie decide to elope...what will happen? COMPLETE!

A Walk to Remember - The Dreamer's Child: sequel of IWWGD Follow a seventeen-year-old Halia Carter as she bumps along life's road. published, work-in-progress (currently on hiatus)

Original Idea - One Time At Band Camp...Something Wonderful Happened: The story of two young people at band camp...how they met, how they fell for each other, and their story. Kind of based on how my boyfriend and I got together during our marching season my sophomore year of high school. (This will be located under the marching band section of the misc. category or possibly on fictionpress. btw, my screenname is "guilty-obsession" on that site!)

Okay, so I'm a VERY busy girl. I am in college. Enough said. Updating can kinda start to overwhelm me with everything that's going on. If I'm not as quick with updating as you like, please be patient. Just know that I'm trying!

If you have read this entire profile without skimming, I congratulate you. I guess that just about wraps up my entire life. Enjoy reading what I have on here -- I know I'll enjoy getting your reviews:)

Everyone please keep writing! I love reading your stories.
