"I was born in a log cabin in Illinois--"

Okay, so not really...but I do hail from the Prairie State, the great Land O' Lincoln. I'm a college student who has already burned through about as many majors as Dr. House has Vicodin. I love reading, writing, photography and traveling. I'm currently loving the shows Doctor Who and Bones. There are other shows/fandoms I've written/like, but these are my current faves. I recently started to become more interested in anime, so feel free to message me suggestions on ones I should check out, if you feel so inclined. I also enjoy horror movies, old black & white films (especially anything with Lawrence Olivier or James Stewart) and pretty much any movie that has the potential to make me cry.

08-14-2009--UPDATE-->I'm finally starting to get back into writing fic on a more regular basis. I'm getting interested in new fandoms, so there's quite a few new stories involving those coming up, but I'm also planning on going back to some of my old House fics and editing/revising/updating those as necessary. Anyone who is/was a fan of "Last Place on Earth" or "It Only Hurts" might want to be on the lookout for updates/changes to those soon. Also, if anyone is interested in reading some "Ducklings-era" House fics, I'm thinking about possibly starting a new one or two if people express interest, so if that sounds like something that might not completely suck to you, let me know.
