To me, there are two types in the world: the optimists and the pessimists. The pessimists are here to remind us that everything's not always cheerful and that the world is boring. The optimists are here for the oppisite reason: to keep the world mildly insane and interesting. - Me (as in the person writing this profile)

A general note about me and my work here:

I joined here in the summer of 2005 in hopes of posting Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction, My Black Hole: The Life of Shadow the Hedgehog, And Then There Were None, and Rochelle Just Rochelle. Well, I gave up on those stories a long time ago, unfortunately. Instead, I didn't do much of anything on here for about a year except read other fanfics. Then, I wrote a slight One Piece poem, Unbreakable Bonds, in early 2006 and posted it a few months later. I realized after many people liked it that I would once again start writing more stories. Then, Ouran happened. In September 2006, I discovered the amazing series Ouran High School Host Club (or Ouran Koukou). Basically, I fell in love (not literally) with it's resident low blood pressure evil demon lord Kyouya Ohtori and (this time literally) drama king Tamaki Suou. Of course, I love everyone in the series down to the Lobelia girls, but these two, plus Haruhi and Kaoru, were my favourites. In short, I became (and still am) obsessed with KyouyaxTamaki. Thus, after reading EVERY fanfic out there that was even remotely connected to the pairing, I was desperate. Hence, I took it upon myself to write my own stories for the pairing, tasteful ones, of course. And because For You, I Will has become so popular and people seem to want a sequel, I shall take it upon myself to produce one. Also, in my free time and due to my boredom on the Labour Day weekend of 2007, I produced Death Note Quips, which I swear has been my most random work to date. I have also started Real Love, my Across The Universe inspired fanfiction which I hope to continue someday when I'm not so busy. In addition, I have added a piece of writing I'm very proud of from school, Ange De La Mort, a one-shot story introspective inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Enjoy, and check out my other accounts if you have time!

Manga I Own:

Kodocha (My 1st manga I ever got! It rocks! Give it a try; you'll defiinetly think it's great, 'cause it's got something for everyone.)

Tokyo Mew Mew (Cutesy. VERY cutesy. Only thing that keeps me reading it is Lettuce and the ocassional funny line.)

One Piece (Probably my most favourite series of all time. IT IS AWESOME! But, the English anime sucks, just ignore it...)

Last Hope (A manga by an American company my friend showed me. There is girl in there named Coleen who acts EXACTLY like me! Seriously.)

Amazing Agent Luna (Same company that did Last Hope. Really, really, REALLY good! Actually, there's only one word for this manga: amazing. Bad joke, I know...)

Fullmetal Alchemist (Best. Series. Of. Anything. EVER. Alchemy rock so hard! VERY well written manga.)

Girl Got Game (Interesting. The first book is good, then it gets just plain wrong. I still like it, though.)

Peach Fuzz (Not traditional manga. It's the manga that won that contest or something. Even more cutesy than Tokyo Mew Mew.)

Inuyasha (Hey, everyone else is reading it, and I can see why! Anime isn't bad either, both English and Japanese!)

Naruto (Slow to start, but gets better as it goes along. Shonen Jump liscences awesome manga... probably even better than TokyoPop...)

Shaman King (Thought I would hate this since I kinda despised the English dub. Instead, I LOVED IT! Really original and funny!)

Forbidden Dance (I don't get why people don't like this series! It's got a pretty cool girl, a hot guy, and British people! IT ROCKS!)

Princess Ai (Even though it's also technically American, it had me amazed at how original and fresh this story was. Definetely just read it for the great outfits!)

Fruits Basket (The characters here are so well thought out its not even funny. A nice, fesh idea. And c'mon; EVERY otaku just HAS to read it!)

Revolutionary Girl Utena (Interesting concept. Amazingly someone hadn't really done this yet. Even though its only 5 volumes, its very good.)

Azumanga Daioh (Duuuuude... I freaking love EVERYONE in that series! The perfect mix of cute, humour, drama, and fun!)

Aoi House (This actually hasn't come out yet, but I've read, like, EVERY page posted on the Internet by Seven Seas. VERY perverted, but oh so hilarious.)

Bleach (It's just Bleach. What's not to love, except for maybe the English dub? Basically, every character on that show is awesome, except Byakuya... sorry fans of him )

Eureka 7 (I dunno how I got into it, but I, once again, can't not love it! One of the few mecha-ish series I like!)

Samurai Champloo (I think the manga-ka was on something when he wrote it... that's why I LOVE IT!)

Trinity Blood (One word: vampires. You can't go wrong... and I love the art!)

Ouran High School Host Club (I take it back: THIS is my absolute favorite shoujo series of all time! Seriously, read it. You WON'T regret it!)

Trigun (Okay, let's get this straight. Vash is God. Really. Just read the series, dammit! He's the ideal hero and we love him for it!)

Juvenile Orion (This is actually a really easy read. The art is beautiful and the storyline is really clear and fun!)

Destiny's Hand (An online manga that'll be published in late April. This looks really nice, it being about pirates and all. Nice drawings!)

Loveless (I actually don't like cats THAT much, but you can't not like Ritsuka! And Soubi... drools)

Godchild (God, I love Victorian-goth... with beautiful art, murder, blood, romance, and mystery in this, what's not to love?)

Death Note (I thought this would be boring. The HELL it ain't! If you want a real page-turner, look no further! There's just something about Light to love and admire)

Chibi Vampire (Vampires. Damn, they sure pop up everywhere in anime/manga, eh? Karin's just cute, and an actually believeable heroine. VERY comedic storline)

Milennium Snow (By the authour of Ouran, the main reason I bought it ; This is just beautiful, with the art, storyline, characters, everything here is just... perfect)

DN Angel (Dark is awesome. What more must I say? It's an... interesting story, to say the least... just read it to see what I mean!)

Wolf's Rain (I've always liked dogs more than cats, and wolves are part of that love. The story is sad, yet hopeful, and the art and anime are very good, too!)

Vampire Knight (Like I said, vamps are definitely in. This manga's storyline and characters are really well thought-out, so pick it up and give it a try!)

Moonlight Meow (Another American manga, but it's good! It's got a British guy, cats, and pervs! What more would one ask for?)

Couples I Like/Hate: KyouyaxTamaki (one true pairing, or OTP), MattxMello, Yami BakuraxMalik, SanjixVivi, GreedxMartel, HikaruxKaoru, MorixHaruhi, TamakixHaruhi ShadowxMaria, RobinxStarfire, RoyxRiza, Numbuh 4xNumbuh 3, LuffyxNami, ZoroxSanji, EdwardxWinry/SonicxSally, RobinxRaven, Beast BoyxTerra, KyouyaxHaruhi
