First thing I can say about myself is that me writing a profile is like Anko being a rational calm docile woman... It's an oxymoron. And if I continue like this, I might as well stick with just 'moron'... :sigh: Okay... Let's give this a go Kakashi style.

My name is Maria. There is a lot of manga/ anime I do like and hope Icha Icha is one day one of them. :-D I've used a LOT of Naruto references in my profile already but my first story is a Naruto one, so bear with me... I ADORE Fullmetal Alchemist... Have seen enough anime to know I need to get a life sometime soon (like Naruto, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, xxxHolic, Monster, Gundam Seed, Bleach, Shaman King, 12 Kingdoms, GTO, Code Geass, Those who Hunt Elves, Fate/ Stay Night, Excel Saga, Fullmetal Panic!, X... list goes on and on and on...) I don't like- as in have near aneurisms- anime that end like Spiral (haven't read the manga... couldn't muster hope or strength...) you don't know what that freaky spiral was, why the damn Blade Children were damned in the first place, other than missing a rib... :SIGH: Moving along. My dreams. Peace, save the whales and get them snails cool turbine thrusters...

... I'll get flames for my profile won't I? ... I hope people read the story and then the profile. I think I sound less of a nutcase there. ;-)

A couple of words about my first story ("By any other name")... To me Sasuke and Naruto have a delicious chemistry that's near impossible to put into words... It's what's prompted me to write this and probably another story as well assuming you guys think I'm any good at this ... or maybe I'll do it because it's nice to share and so many people have made me laugh/ angst over/ look forward to their stories.

My profile is neglected and I have quite a few stories I want to add as favorites... So yeah... Will have to do some work on that sometime soon...

In the mean time... xoxoxoxox
