I have a LiveJournal now! --- http://taro-twist.livejournal.com

A little something about the stories I'm currently writing ...

Superman Returns:

L'esprit de l'escalier -- I have about 1400 words of Ch. 9 written. At this rate, it should be out before the New Year. ;-p

We all know that Clark Kent is both Lois's friend (as Clark) and her love interest (as Superman). So I've always wondered what would happen if Lois decided to confide in Clark with regards to her love life, which would basically involve telling him about, well, himself ... although with Richard in the picture, it gets even more complicated!

Howl's Moving Castle:

Honestly -- I haven't abandoned this, I swear ... at this point, though, I probably won't get back to it until winter break. :( The muses just aren't cooperating.

Mari shares Howl's magical powers, which is something that he's particularly happy about ... except it's about to cause him a lot more trouble than he ever expected. Fortunately, though (or perhaps unfortunately), life in Ingary is always the perfect distraction from familial drama ...

Cordelia

A rather hard-to-swallow story (that might make you want to gouge your eyes out) that ties several things in Howl's life (the meeting with Calcifer, his issues with Gareth, etc.) back to one girl.

Now, if I had any common sense, I would have kept this fic to myself. Unfortunately, I don't have any common sense, so here it is on ff.net. :) At the moment, this fic is on permanent hiatus.

And now for a little bit about me!

I am 20 years old, a rising senior in college, and a biochemistry major. I'm not too concerned about getting shoved out into the real world after graduation, because I plan on avoiding the real world and prolonging my adolescence indefinitely by going to grad school! That or I'll end up homeless and begging on the streets. Originally from Maryland, I now spend most of my time in New York, New York.

Like most of the people on ff.net (probably) I get really really obsessed with things. My current obsession is Superman Returns, to the point that I was in the break room at my internship the other day, and I was tempted to use a little bit of someone else's cinnamon in my coffee, but then I thought to myself, No, Clark Kent would never take someone else's cinnamon without permission. And thus, I resisted temptation.

Some totally irrelevant quotes:

Ann: Time cures everything.

Matt: So does a shot gun.

"That separation is so beautiful, if it was a woman, I would discreetly show interest in her from afar." ~the wonderful words of my organic chem TA, 2/17/06

"You two are turning me into a metrosexual. Before I came to this lab, I used to moisturize my face with gravel, and for a living I wrestled tigers ... that's how much of a man I was." ~the post-doc in my lab, lamenting his exposure to near-toxic levels of figure skating and ballet related talk

And thanks to all of my reviewers so far! You guys are great. :)
