Howdy! Firstly, thanks for checkin out my profile. I know, this is the first update in nearly a year and I'm sorry. I did clean out a bunch of crap, though. Secondly, I have discovered that reviews make the world go round, so if you happen to read one of my fics, please review, even if you thought it could've been better (cuz it probably could've). Thirdly, I've got 8 fics and 4 co-fics(because I really do have that much of a not-life):One-shots: "Love Needs A Little Help" (HP), "Waltzing" (HP, poemfic), "Within Your Eyes" (Labyrinth, songfic), "Photographs and Tears" (HP, sequel to Emerald and Onyx), "Gotta Do More, Gotta Be More" (DPS semi-ansty twoshot, no slash), "The Hearts of Men" (LotR half-baked philosophy fic), and "Anticlockwise" (All the Queen's Men, Johnno/Tony slash) Full length: "The Only One He Ever Loved" (HP, it's actually more of a twoshot, but oh well), "Emerald and Onyx,"(HP, Sirius/Lily), "Baby Swan" (PotC), "Something Old and Something New" (Torchwood), and "Orion's Belt" (Titanic). co-written with my partner in crime, HannahCimsGwendolyn: "General Hogwarts"(HP, makes fun of both Marauder Era Harry Potter and soap operas (specifically, in this case, General Hospital) and "Finding Love Through Broken Glass" (an HP angsty/emo/romance parody oneshot).In Progress: "Days of the Ring" (LotR), co-written with my partners in crime, HannahCimsGwendolyn and xXBroken WingsXx, "All My Fathers" (HP, sequel to General Hogwarts), which, again, I'll be co-writing with HannahCimsGwendolyn. Stuck With Me and Return of the Dutchman have been deleted due to writer's block and no time to write. For Mercutio and One Known Terror have been deleted due to them pretty much sucking coz they're full of plot holes and Sues (bows head inshame). I've learned my lesson. In my defense, I wrote them when I was about 13 or 14. = P

NOTICE: ALL CO-FICS HAVE BEEN MOVED! General Hogwarts, All My Fathers, and Days of the Ring have been moved to our joint account. This is an account between SHGrey18 (HannahCimsGwendolyn), YourxFirefly (formerly xXBroken WingsXx), and I. Our joint account is SWD18. I will still be writing (by myself) on this account, though. Finding Love Through Broken Glass is indeed a co-fic, but it's on here because stuff went down with our password and joint e-mail being shut down and yeah. It's all good, though, so I'll move that when I get the chance.

ANOTHER NOTICE:I'm sorry, but rant of the week has been taken down. Not that anyone really reads it, but if y'all haven't noticed, it hasn't been updated in about a year. This is because with my schoolwork getting heavier and heavier, I don't have time. I suppose if I get enough complaints, I'll put it back up, but I doubt anyone'll miss it that much.

THE GREAT AND POWERFUL HOBBIT COMMANDS YOU TO VISIT HER FRIENDS!! HannahCimsGwendolyn who majors in HP, CSI, and House; YourxFirefly (formerly xXBrokenWingsXx), majoring in HP, Alice in Wonderland, Buffy, and JTHM; Kondundrum (formerly Shoyru31), who specializes in PotC (thus far, anyway); and up-and-coming author Gwynplaine...as soon as he's allowed to post. = D, whose first (posted) fic will be Batman. OH! How can I forget HeadinTheClouds13?? Okay, I don't actually know her, but she shares my love for DPS and Torchwood, and doesn't think it's weird to cross them. XD So yes, she's got two fics, both DPS. Go read all of those fics!! NOW!! NOBODY QUESTIONS THE GREAT AND POWERFUL HOBBIT!!

For Those of You Who Care and Have Been Trying to Figure this out Since You Saw Labyrinth:

BOTH doors lie! Cuz the blue one said "One of us always lies, and one of us always tells the truth." Well, he was lying when he said that. Cuz the red door leads to the castle, right? Well, Sarah asked him if the blue door would tell her that the red door would lead her to the castle. The red door said "yes". If he'd been lying, then the blue door would have said "no," in which case, the blue door would be lying, as well. You might say that in this argument, they might also both tell the truth. Well, if they told the truth, then they wouldn't have said "One of us always lies, one of us always tells the truth." The would've said "We always tell the truth." Hence all the sniggering andgiggling from the guys on the bottoms of the sheilds. And, if they were both lying, then it's not "in the rules" and they don't "don't know" like they say it is and they do. Also, if you think about it, if they were lying about where the doors lead, they could'vebothlead to "BABABABUM! Ceratin Death! Oooh!"It's taken me all my (relatively)short life to figure that out, and I finally have. Oh, by the way, they have names. Ralf and Alf. Never knew that before, saw it on a website.

My personal philosophy: I REFUSE TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT...it's offensive. (think about it)

My other personal philosophy: Live deliberately, laugh loud and often, and never ever settle for less than you deserve.

My personal saying that is trademarked to ME: I'm not clay, I refuse to be molded to your liking. I march to my own beat and that drummer plays his drumsticks like a piccolo. :grumble: Never said it was a very rhythmic beat...

Most Excellent...

Geeks (so I've got a thing for Geeks, get over it!), gingers (I think I may be the only girl in the world to like gingers), "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Charmed", Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland (book and movie, mostly movie), Harry Potter (books and fourth/fifth movie only), THE PRINCESS BRIDE "WESTLEY NEVER DIES!" (book and movie, mostly movie) Anyway...The Breakfast Club, Labyrinth, Mirrormask, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Buster Keaton, "Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", "Romeo and Juliet", Latin (or, really, languages at all)country music, 80s music, Psychedellic Furs, bra burning (I know, outdated and there's no need for it anymore, but that would be AWESOME! The world's worst invention since war. I'm not saying the bra is worse than war, it certainly is not, not by any stretch of the wildest imagination, but it's definitely in the top 5 list...), Anthony Stewart Head's (giggle "Head" hee hee) voice, James Marster's voice, Carry Grant (particularly Arsenic and Old Lace and Penny Serenade), Ed Chigliak (and his eyes), Warrick's eyes, and Mercutio (melts)I've tricked myself into firmly believing that there are only two acts in R+J..."Then Mercutio kills Tybbult and they all live happily ever after." : )Oh, Johnny Depp (and his eyes) (drools), (in case you haven't noticed, I've got a thing about eyes) Heath Ledger (RIP Heath; you'll be sorely missed), James Marsters (drooly drooly),and Orlando Bloom (must get a mop bucket, but it doesn't help much). They're all really great actors (especially Johnny Depp, really versitile, no danger of selling out or being type-cast), but they're also really hot.

Also a big fan of Sirius/Lily fics and angsty!abused!Draco fics. I've even written one of each. I like taking some of the really hard-to-reach types like Draco or Jareth (Labyrinth) and show a softer side of them. Makes them more human, in my opinion. Also also a big fan of wierd ships, like Sirius/Lily, Remus/Lily, Tom (Riddle, not the barkeeper)/Lily, Neville/Luna, Lucius/Bella (even though that's quite plausible) etc. Also also, also, in case you haven't figured it out, Harry Potter is my main fandom, followed closely by stuff I don't write fics for cuz I'm a purist about them and would never mess with the plotline, characters, etc. such as Princess Bride (all-time favorite movie). I've been going through my fics and I've noticed something. 5 out of my 11 fics are rated T for abuse (but that's just "Waltzing")or character death. Kinda morbid, isn't it? Your honor, I swear I'm not emo. (really, I'm not. It's just...all the good characters die. Niel, Sirius WHO'S NOT DEAD, Mercutio (who isn't dead, either), John Proctor, Finny, Remus, all of my favorites. Except Nuwanda, but he was expelled. And Meeks...but Meeks is just...Meeks.)

Heinous/Bogus:

LEMMINGS above all. For those of you who don't know what a lemming is, it's a person who can't think for themself and always follows the crowd no matter what. Actually, it's a type of animal that, once every few years, the leader of the group will lead the group off of a cliff and they all perish (yes, this ACTUALLY happens), hence the term "lemming." Also...Brad Pitt and most of his movies with the exception of "Meet Joe Black" and "Fight Club" (a close second to Lemmings. the dude looks like a monkey, but I've seen monkies that can act better than he does), Troy (yes, a Brad Pitt movie, but it deserves a special mention. Pitt's horrible acting outshone everyone else's good acting and ruined it for everyone...former rant of the week on Pitt/Troy available upon request), algebra homework or, really, math of any kind(Ancient Booer appears: "Rubbish! Slime! Muck! Filth! Booo! BOOOO!"), Act III of "Romeo and Juliet", Chapter twenty-something of Order of the Phoenix (the chapter where Sirius "dies"), third declension, third conjugation, Ablative Absolute, Passive Pariphrastic, Latin verbals in general, the section in our text books on Prehistoric Man (a good cure for unbreakable insomnia), popular people that think the universe revolves around them, washing dishes, rap music, flamers, and bread pudding. (shudders)

A Little Bit More About Me...Or is it??

Real name: (shifty eyes)...Bob...(shifty eyes)

Age: I have one and it's two digits. = )

Sex: I'm waiting, thanks.

Eyes: yes

Hair: long

Height: Not tall enough (hence, hobbit)

Weight: I beg your pardon!

I live in the state of...: Confusion

If you've learned anything about me from this little segment...let me know, cuz I then need to contact the police...STALKER!

Ships I sail that might (or have) sink (or may float, never know):

6) Gene and Finny (A Separate Peace. This is a big step for me, folks, I'm actually SUPPORTING a slash ship! Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against slash ships, as long as they're cannon. And in my fandoms, not many of them are...) status: Everyone knows it secretly sailed!

5) Ron and Hermione (Harry Potter) status: DEATHLY HALLOWS SPOILER ALERT!! finally sailed! married with kids.

4) Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones OR Jack Harkness and John Hart (Torchwood) status: Jack and Ianto: sailed and quite cute. =D Jack and John: Erm...not sure. It's sort of a love-hate relationship...

3) Sirius Black and Lily Evans (HP. Impossible, I know, but I like the idea) status: sunk/never existed

2) Willow and Oz (Buffy, I liked it better when Willow was strait. Oz was cool in all his mono-syllabicness. Tara was still cool, though.) (no comments from HannahCimsGwendolyn or xXBroken WingsXx about "what this movie needs" sticks out tongue) status: Titanic. Sailed, stayed afloat for a while, then went down like a flying rock.

1) Tony and Johnno (All the Queen's Men): Unfortunately, didn't sail. (emo) You can SO tell that Johnno was crushing on Tony!!

Billy Boyd: (pokes) Tig!

Brad Pitt: (pokes his nose) TALENTLESS MONKEY! (runs away)

So when I come out of the initial shock that I'm actually breathing the same air as these people, I will definitely say these things...Okay, maybe not the Jack Davenport thing, but the others, definitely (particularly Bloom, Boyd, and Pitt... Kinda sounds like a law firm, doesn't it?) I love Jack Davenport too much to taunt him so.If anybody out there knows any of these people, please feel free to set them up for a short five minute interview with me.
