My old penname was angel2CA. For all who knew me as angel2CA. That was my old self, younger, more naive, and dreaming of going to California one day. Now that's changed I decided a new penname is in order.

Writing and reading have always been my passions. Since before I can remember I was glued to books and a pen. My imagination would run wild inside the little fairy tales that took me to places unknown in this world of chaos. I would dream and believe in things that others would never experience. I would relish in the deep mysteries revealed. I would desire to create my own world like that and share it with everyone.

I still do and always will.

Mmm I figured some might want to know a little more about me so here goes.

I also have a fictionpress. Same penname.

Okay, it's about time somebody's a little honest on here! 'On here' meaning internet. Truth be told, I have only finished hmm 3-4 valid stories in my entire lifetime. Sure I had my little drawings and kid stories, I think we all did that. First fairy tale I was 11 years old... even then I was a conniving perfectionist and had written over four ridiculous long pages with exotic details and intricate descriptions of a certain event only to have it erased because of my inexperience on computers and failure to click the 'Save' button on wordpad. So I ended up doing a short 1-2 page patch up and tried to sigh with satisfaction... All in all the story is quite a cute little fetching tale, I guess. It's actually posted on the internet in a private server so it's not in web search. Find it if you dare.

I was incredibly close to finishing a quite detailed and very personal story when I was a little older, about 13, and I did the pastime of writing it with gel pens. For a long time I NEVER used the computer, and after that 'Non'save' incident, I was persistent in returning to the paper and pen technique. It was brilliant and I was marveled at how different your writing style is on paper than typing! Even right now I'm surprised at the way I'm phrasing this very story... Hmm. Then one lucky day, oh, there's always a punchline, ain't there? Then one lucky day, I stayed at my friend's house and somehow LOST that precious notebook in the pile of rubbish they call a mobile home stockade. I was devastated for months, we searched everywhere and to no avail! So that story was lost... I do have two sentences from the very beginning though. Somewhere deep in my heart I know that story will surface eventually, all starting with the two sentences. Or was it just one?

The next story I had the pleasure of finishing was based on a dream I had a few years back. It is the first and only short story I've written with my Invincia Monte Verde fountain pen. It consists of 10 chapters, 3 pages each. Maybe I'll post it on here sometime... p:

And last, I think? Is the Neji Ten story I have on fanfiction. Not exactly 'valid' in complete originality terms but ah well, a story. I'm more of a 'from scratch' person and I actually end up changing made-up characters to my liking. Perhaps that's why I haven't been able to finish more than one story on here in 6 years... Haha.

So that's why I am Ms. Slow to updating on fanfiction. For all who are waiting... I may just never get to finishing the story, but it was fun while it lasted, eh? Still, there's one story out there waiting for me to write... and I hope I do it enough justice to speak for my heart's desires.

AKATSUKI SURVEY:

1. Who is your favorite character?
Tobi, Hidan and Suigetsu (He was part of Akatsuki for a short while)

2. What do you think of the whole Madara being Tobi-thing?
That would be a pretty good storyline... but probably unlikely due to the talk of the new episodes and whatnot.

3. Who would you be team-up with?
Hmm... Tobi Hidan or Suigetsu.

4. If you could have any abilities what would they be?
Gekkai Kenkai... of 'Story Telling'. When I ask questions they will tell me anything and only my ears will hear.

5. If Madara came up to you and asked you "Wanna' go somewhere private and have some 'fun'?" how would you react?
I would be like "I asked you that last week and you turned me down!" Then slap him, fuming mad (secretly faking).

6. Hidan comes in your room and starts ranting on about how Kakuzu pisses him off then begs you to convert to Jashinism, how do you react?I tell him I don't 'convert' to anything, then begin to rant with him how Kakuzu pisses me off too. Then we have a ranting contest to see who comes up with the best reasons why Kakuzu pisses us off. Eventually I win and give him a smirk before he irritatingly mutters, b*.

7. Zetsu is standing in the corner of the living room, and he shows you a rose, he asks what you think of it, how do you react?
I would smell the rose and I would say "I don't think of it, I experience the rose." Adding shortly after, "You poisoned it, didn't you?" With a sly grin he looks at me knowingly and I laugh. "Thanks," I take it from him and put it in my hair. "You wouldn't take a flower from a pretty girl, would you?!"

8. Itachi is sitting in the kitchen, drinking tea, however, when you come into the kitchen to grab a drink, he starts smiling at you, thinking you have something on your face you almost run from the room, only to be stopped by Itachi, he asks if he can brush your hair, because he admires how soft and long it is, how do you react?
I'd reply. "Only if you let me have some of that tea you're devouring. Hn." Then I'd smirk.

9. Kakuzu has been quiet for a week, and one day when you're alone he walks up to you and asks you if you have any spare change and if you'd like to go food shopping, how do you react?
"I don't like food shopping," I sigh... "I'd rather pick the food myself and can some delicious jellies! You like, hai?"

10. Once upon a time before you 'joined' Akatsuki, you were good friends with Naruto, he'd been tracking you for years-almost as much as he does with Sasuke, when he finally finds you and begs you to come back to the village with him, how do you react?
Sit Naruto down for a ninja chat and try to explain to him why I joined the Akatsuki. "That the ideals we're are yearning for, the red moon and our utopia like paradise... I can't join a people who still deal in tolerance, obedience, and things simple as 'doing as your told'. I'm in hiding because if you lay one finger out of line... you're a rogue. I... love you Naruto, like a great friend, but you still have many things to learn about my ninja way. And that is: Don't draw a line between yourself and the invisible world. There's a greater purpose and meaning that we're all striving for... and I will not give up that dream."

11. Upon stumbling into Ino and Sakura bitch-fighting about how pretty they are and who's-more-skilled-than-who, what do you do?
Start having a cussing fight with Hidan about how Kakuzu pisses us off... then slowly get to the point talking about how Ino and Sakura piss us off, starting a contest getting WAY louder than Ino and Sakura to get their attention, challenging them to a fight contest. Hidan and I win... then I win. And I smirk and blow a kiss to Hidan and walk away. He mutters, bitch.

12. Who's art is better? Deidara's or Sasori's?
That's not right, comparing the arts! Deidara and Sasori are both so talented at each type of art.

13. You tell them you think your art is better, and they begin a huge argument about how your art isn't as great as theirs, what do you do?
Well, I would never tell them my art is better...

14. Kisame asks if you want to go swimming-your answer?
"Yeah, I love swimming! Can I ride on your back?" Then I'd start smiling very widely, innocently blinking my eyes with my hands held behind my back. "I won't bite, I promise," I'd say. Apparently he might say this in return, "I do bite..." he'd grin and we'd go swimming.

15. For the next two days Kisame tells you it's nothing but a harmless swim, how do you react?
I tell him. "Aye, but swimming with me is not harmless." I'd grin innocently, batting my eyelashes, grinning evilly inside. He's up for the challenge and we go 'swimming'. We end up in a duel/race and I totally clobber his ass! (In my dreams)

16. What are your views on Sasuke?
Well... Sasuke is absolute right about wanting revenge on his family's death. If my family was murdered I would want revenge and want to know the reason behind it, just like Sasuke... only he was a bit too hasty and guarded in wanted to figure out the reason... He should have screamed and yelled at his brother and asked why he killed his family. But Itachi was too guarded... all from that plot inside. I wish Sasuke had tried harder at finding the 'why' before killing his brother... Sasuke is NOT evil, he's just had a bad turn of events and taken some of them the wrong way.

17. Rock Lee tells you he has a crush on you, your reaction?
"Aw, that's sweet, Lee." I'd say before smiling. "But I don't return the feelings, I'm sorry Lee. You'll find someone who will appreciate every part of you, taijutsu and all."

18. Which is better? Manga or Anime?
Manga... directly turned into Anime that lasts exactly how long it takes for me to read it... 2 minutes per chapter. The Anime is too stretched out.

19. Which village would you prefer to live in?
I don't know them all... but the Rain one probably. ]

final question

20. Which Naruto coupling do you prefer more?
Shikamaru and Temari.
