It is high time that I update my profile, so off we go.

I am: College junior, wildlife biology major, trombone player, soccer goalkeeper, runner, recovering anorexic, weight lifter, reader, writer, artist, closet romantic who isn't sure she believes in romance for herself but loves to discover true love in what she reads, grammar freak, animal lover (see major), water skiier, outdoor junkie.

I read: The Lord of the Rings, The Dresden Files, Young Wizards, Charlie Bone, Ayn Rand, The Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Jane Eyre, Life of Pi, Frankenstein, The Silmarillion, Wicked and subsequent sequels, Tamora Pierce's Tortall books, Jane Austen, Artemis Fowl, His Dark Materials, P. G. Wodehouse, Percy Jackson, and multiple other fantasy, adventure, and classic literature.

I watch: Star Wars, Modern Family, V for Vendetta, The Lord of the Rings, Once Upon a Time, Pirates of the Caribbean, Iron Man, The Avengers, Seinfeld, Tim Burton's older stuff (Corpse Bride and earlier), The Lion King, most Pixar, most Disney, Star Trek, Marvel

I listen to: Rock, alternative, classic rock, jazz, world, soundtracks, instrumental, classical, some rap, some pop...so, pretty much everything

I obsess over: Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin, Paton Yewbeam, Aragorn, Han Solo, Severus Snape, Tony Stark, Erik, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Spock, Captain Jack Sparrow, and Edward Rochester (along with numerous others, but my love for these gentlemen will never die).

My OTPs: Rumbelle, Paton/Julia, Spock/Uhura, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, Aragorn/Arwen

Long-winded, rambling profiles really aren't my thing, so I try to keep mine relatively concise. I will say, however, that writing is an outlet for me, a means to express myself while at the same time escaping from the real world for a bit. Keeping in course with this, then, I have the unfortunate habit of posting fics and updates in waves, as I will suddenly be besieged by a flood of inspiration and write four or five works, while at other times I will be too busy with reality (unfortunately) to keep up with the site. However, I promise this: just when you've given up all hope for me, I will show up with an update or some new oneshot...it seems to be my trademark now.

6. Healing Touch reviews
They told him that he was lucky to be alive, that any deeper or much longer and he would have been a dead man. He knew it was morbid, but he wondered if he was lucky. Good had triumphed over evil, but Julia still despised him, and of what worth or significance was a life without her? A story of love after war, otherwise known as "How Paton got Julia to marry him."

It was almost like being trapped behind a window, he decided; he could watch, let his eyes feast upon her, but he could never get close enough. Beyond the frame, time passed without him Belle creating a life for herself and living it quite happily while he stood trapped, alone in his shop with his dusty antiques, old and cracked as any piece in his collection.

9. Seeing in Shades reviews
There should be more—more to life, more than this, more color. Black and white were the extremes, grey the intermediate, but there were so many pigments that should be there that simply weren't. Oneshot drabble from Belle's time in the hospital.

Belle's eyes fluttered shut as her first sip of hot chocolate trickled down her throat, the warm liquid tantalizing her taste buds. Never had she tasted anything so richly satisfying"Oh, Rum," she breathed, her smile lighting up his kitchen despite the low-hanging grey clouds and cold white snow outside, "this is wonderful." Extremely fluffy fluff. You have been warned.

"I have got to stop landing these damsel roles," she muttered, finally allowing her legs to relax and sliding down along the wall until she was seated cross-legged on the floor. "Oh, I don't know, dearie…" He slid into the room his mouth turned upwards in an amused smile and his eyes dancing with ill-suppressed laughter. "You do an excellent job in your portrayals."

12. With Great Power reviews
Paton burst into the cell-like attic, his body radiating pure, unadulterated fury. His eyes were pitch black, sable mirrors that glowed with an astonishing amount of ferocity. The reason for his rage lay curled in a shaking ball in the corner, a slim chain wrapped around her too-thin ankle and securing her to the wall behind. Oneshot-Paton saves Julia from his sisters and...reacts.
