As you enter this page, the first thing you notice is a cerulean duck sitting pompously on top of a sign. The second thing you notice is the sign itself, glowing obscenely in five different neon colours usually restricted to torture chambers.

You squint and shield your poor, scarred eyes from the glare. The duck quacks.

"CLICIO", the sign proclaims boldly in an unnecessarily shiny font,

"Is a happy-go-lucky, gutter-minded female who has an unhealthy addiction to Starbucks mochas and Tacotime burritos.

She likes all the typical things an abnormal girl her age should like, including but not restricted to doodling slash manga couples on her math assignments; singing through her iPod playlist obnoxiously in the hearing radius of other less fortunate souls and/or eardrums; engaging in deep philosophical arguments about life, death, omnipotent presences and the reason why potatoes aren't called rutabagas; and stalking you."

Upon reading this, you blink and look behind you, BUT THERE'S NO ONE THERE.

"On the other hand," the sign continues, "she dislikes many more things. But that's alright because she happens to have a high tolerance for stupid. Probably because she isn't the brightest star in the galaxy herself."

The cerulean duck promptly clears its throat and adds, "She is nice though, and enjoys a good chat, so leave a message if you want. After the tone."

And the duck starts quacking a tune that sounds suspiciously like Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre.

...Yeah. I'm normal. Mostly. I come back from a 3-year-ish absence with various new fandoms, and I think I shall stay awhile. :D

Shipments (aka cause of much love and frighteningly obsessive displays of affection on my part) - not necessarily sexual; I like many of my pairings platonic as well.

OTP:

Kurogane x Fai (TRC), because there are no words to describe the utter epicness of their relationship.

Other primary ships: To qualify, the pairing must be at least somewhat canonized. And it must be DEEP. And I must like it a lot.

Sebastian x Ciel (Kuroshitsuji), Yamamoto x Gokudera (Reborn), Roy x Riza (FMA)

Everything else: (Brackets) denote prefered pairing within a threesome/triangle/pairing chain.

Kallen x (Lelouch x Suzaku), Cornelia x Guilford, Xingke x Tianzi (Code Geass)

(Dino x Hibari) x Mukuro (Reborn) - My ultimate Reborn pairing chain would be something like. D1869275980SX. 96 optional between 18 and 69. Ehehe. =w=

Seimei x (Soubi x Ritsuka) (Loveless)

L x Raito (Death Note)

(Zack x Cloud) x (Sephiroth x Genesis) (FFVII Crisis Core)

Sirius x Remus, Severus x Lily x James (Harry Potter)

Doumeki x Watanuki (xxxHolic)

Kaname x Yuuki x Zero (Vampire Knight)

France x UK, Italy x Germany (APHetalia)

Erik x Christine (Phantom of the Opera)

Touya x Yukito, Syaoran x Sakura (Cardcaptor Sakura)

Kratos x Anna (Tales of Symphonia)

Loleus x Sirix x Serena, Serizawa x Kaedai x Yuuma (NG Life)

The excess of shounen-ai relationships is due to the fact that it is getting increasingly harder to find a boyxgirl pairing that isn't despairingly superficial and shallow. The fact that many female characters are annoying doesn't help either. Woe.
