I changed my icon...AGAIN! It's not even fandom related now. It's just a chick in a dress getting ready to kick someones ass. Surprisingly, I don't have any long, rambling musings about this icon. It's just...there.
Yeah, I'm a girl.
I live in Chicago (which happens to be the very best place on earth and if you say New York, lord forgive me, I will stab you in the jaw even though you'd be pretty much right.)
I'm jealous of people who live in New York (in case you can't tell from that last little rant)
For the last godforesaken time, my real name is not Gema.
I have the unnatural obbsession of constantly calling people "Sweetheart", "Hun" and "Dear" but purely in a sarcastic or friendly way. Please do not assume that I have a crush on you because I call you a term of endearment. It's a habit. Deal
I love RENT. It's kinda sorta my life.
Julie is my most bestest friend ever and I love her to absolute death.
I used to love Eric Szmanda, but then Greg Sanders became a total asshole and now I don't love either of them. He's been replaced with James Franco, Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp. Sorry, buddy.
CSI used to be my one and only fandom love, but the new season sorta, well, sucked...really, really badly. All WIPs will probably be handed off to my fellow writers or just scraped all together. Please don't blame me. (If you want any of my CSI stories, PM me!)
Spring Awakening and all peeps related to it (Lea Michele, Jonathon Groff, JOHNNY GALLAGHER!, Lauren Pritchard, Skylar Astin and the rest of the totally awsome cast) are pretty much god...
The site has stolen my soul. Seriously, that's how much time I spend on here. And if I'm not on the actual site because my mother is looking over my shoulder, than my email account is pulled up on my tabs so I can check to see if any one wants to waste time with me. (Which no one really ever does, except JauntyChick, whom I internet-love IMMENSELY.
I regularly post over on the Fireplace and the Ultimate RENThead forum. They PWN. So, stop by and say high if you'd like.
I swim. Swim is god, though not as god as SA and RENT.
I sing. I'm gonna be on Broadway, even if it's just as a stage hand.
Hyperactivitesness is teh bomb. I have enough sugar pumping through my veins on a daily basis to put Mike Teevee to shame. (Oh, that's right Mike. I went there.)
I write novels as well. If I'm not on FF.net, I'm writing novels that suck immensely. Really people, I can't write. At all.
I use OCs and I love them as I would my own children if I had any,which I do not because I'm thirteen. Deal with it.
I'm a total spaz, as are all my friends.
I'm seeing Spring Awakening in February '09 and RENT in March/April of '09 and it's going to be pretty much the best year ever.
Niamh is the craziest, piano playing, Anthony Rapp-obbsessing, James Franco-fangirling, RENT and Spring Awakening and Spiderman and CSI stalkering, fanfiction authoring, smut writing, bad clothes wearing, crack whoreing mess I have ever met in my entire life and she's sorta kinda pretty much the coolest person you will ever meet. And her name is pronounced "Nee-ve" not "Nim" (Wow...that just shows you how incredible screwed Nee is. She wrote that. The whole thing. When I was getting lemonade. Wow.)

Quotes Of The Moment
"God, Niamh! Get your cookie off of Anthony's face!"- Melaine, after Niamh put a chocolate chip cookie down on Mel's copy of "Without You".
"What are you gunna do today, Jinx?" "Suffer from my world record hangover. That is the last time I combine Peach Schnapps and Hypnqtic vodka together and chug it all in one gulp. And to top it all off, I think Shana and I had sex!" "Oh, wow, yeah, that's going to put a damper on your day."- Angela and Jinx in "Revenge Of The Jinx"
GOODBYE RENT.(Stolen from SCREAMINGwhipsers's profile, 'cause she's cool)
We have all been touched by RENT. It gives us a message of hope, friendship, and undying love. RENT is not about gay people. It is not about strippers, sex or drag queens. It is not about drug addicts. It is about us. It is about our friends. It is about our art, our struggles, our joys, our strife. It is about living, dancing, singing—celebrating our life and finding joy in the very art of living. RENT reflects the children of the new generation as they live with joy, even while facing death every day. And although the stage of the Nederlander may be bare soon, we will never forget. We can never forget.
Jonathon Larson gave the last year of his life giving us his “one blaze of glory.” His masterpiece. A gift to our generation. He probably would have never guessed how his play would captivate Broadway, or how it would captivate the world. But it has, and his spirit lives in RENT. They say every theater has a ghost, but the Nederlander has and will always have Jonathon.
Now the time has come we must say goodbye to RENT for awhile. It is sad for all of us, but we remember that the story never ends.
"Art is about love- the love you never got as a child- the love you can't get as an adult-the love you can only give your work."-Jonathon Larson
"It's the 1990's, it's time for a change."-Jonathon Larson
"In dangerous times, where it seems that the world is ripping apart at the seems, we all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium."-Jonathon Larson
"It doesn't speak for a generation, it speaks to a generation."-Adam Pascal
"This play is the anthem of all artists."-Wilson Jermaine Heredia
"There's a spirit behind the drama, and that's what our lives are about."-Daphne Rubin-Vega
"It's just people trying to live their lives with passion and creativity and love. It's the struggle to get in all in time, and to see through your dreams. That's anybody and anytime. I think that what's going to save it from anybody who has close-minded ideas is that once they sit in the seat and the music, and all it will seep through the pores, and they're going to have to feel something.”-Idina Menzel

If you are the kind of person that gets really excited when you get like two reviews, copy this into your profile. (Jesus, you should have seen me when I got six reviews for the first chapter of "Crossing The Line". I was off the wall.)

PEOPLE I LOVE ON THIS SITE:
JauntyChick- as previously stated
Soul Of Aspen- for writing a RENT-themed chapter for her fic "Take Fifty" (shameless plug: You should all check it out. It's pretty boss.) and for writing a Bella/Alice femmeslash fic, which is also extremely cool.
eleen- for not shooting me on a number of different occasions
Crazy-homeschooler-for giving me virtual hugs when I'm depressed and making me not feel like a spaz, even when I should be feeling like a spaz.
theXfactor11- for making me an icon that says "Wounds heal. Voodoo is forever" which happens to be my new favorite saying!
Twilightwicked5678- for allowing me and my spazziness to invade her nice little forum and totally corrupt it. And for being cool.
Mrs. Angel Collins- for suppying me with a seemingly never-ending stash of Jesse L. Martin icons, all of which are incredibly awesome. And for being cool.
Any of the chicas from the RENThead forum that I forgot- for being so incredibly cool that I can't even comprehend it.
xNyphadoraxTonksx- (though I doubt she loves me back) For giving me endless amount of nonsensical PMs to spork and laugh at. These tend to be the highlight of my day.
Anti- Gema- For dedicating a whole freaking penname to me!
SCREAMINGwhispers- for telling me cool stories about Jonathon Larson and Ouija boards and for complimenting my icon and for being the first person I really talked to at the Fireplace.
For all the people at the Fireplace who I've talked too- For not looking at me funny and walking away, as many "real-life" people do when I start to talk about random stuff.
I'm sure there's more. PM me if I forgot you!
