Author has written 16 stories for Phantom of the Opera, Digimon, Star Wars, Teen Titans, Naruto, Samurai Champloo, Final Fantasy VII, and Jane Austen.

Yours truly has gotten an el jay. For general wittering, drabbles, and (yaoi) works in progress.

Well...

I like to take my notes in pen. Just because. I'm bilingual. I like music. I like art. I like writing. I play the piano (pretty well). I play the violin (not at all well). I can't sing. I'm tone-deaf. I'm good at math. I'm semi-good at science. I'm a mess when it comes to music theory. I love tea and apples and strawberry jam and orange juice with pulp and sweet things and chocolate. I like Chopin and Mozart and Beethoven. I despise Bach. There is a reason, I believe, the Baroque period ended with him. Pachelbel was a genius. So is Andrew Lloyd Webber. Phantom was beautiful.

I like hot chocolate on cold, winter mornings. I have difficulty getting out of bed. I'm not a morning person. I'm quite lazy. I'm a skilled procrastinator. I like messy foods. My English teacher believes me to be anal-retentive; my Civics teacher believes me to be obnoxious; my lab partner believes me to be obssessive-compulsive; my best friend believes me to be a Bedlam-escapee; I believe I am none of the above.

I'm quite silly sometimes. I can be loud. I get horrible stage fright. I have a terrible tendency to ramble. Sometimes, I alliterate. I don't like sentences that rhyme unless it's in a poem. I don't like poems that don't rhyme or have rhythm. I don't understand blank verse. I don't like Romeo and Juliet. Much Ado About Nothing was brilliant. Proper grammar is overrated. Kurt Vonnegut is awesome. Ernest Hemingway is deep. Poignancy is wonderful.

Reviewers brighten my world.


"Whenever I apply myself to writing, literature comes between us."
~Jules Renard

"Tweedledee: Contrariwise. If it is so, it may be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic."
~Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

"The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to light amid the thorns."
~George Santayana

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."
~Mark Twain

"I'm tired of all this nonsense of beauty being only skin deep. That's deep enough. What do you want? An adorable pancreas?"
~Jean Kerr


In the Works:

go the converse for Ori (4/30 complete): I have nothing to say about this except it was supposed to be a nice little tame ten-sectioned one-shot. Then it got on steroids. Apologies, Ori - this one is going to take awhile.
