Huh? Someone's here? Oh, sorry...Just read on...

Milky’s Profile (Updated on 01/05/10)

What the heck. It's been months since I touched my profile. Well...it was rather troublesome...

-coughs-

Anywho, I won't keep you much. Just gonna ask you to try and read my stories...even before I go about rewriting them :P

Music has been part of my life for a long time now and I simply cannot imagine myself not even humming a single tune everyday. Pop and classical music are my likes, though I don't really dislike any kind of music that is present. I love hearing sounds, even if it may be just the rustling of leaves or the dog barking in the neighborhood, as much as that gets annoying. But, really, I love music and I cannot write without it ringing in my ears. It has always been my inspiration and one thing I hope on writing is to involve music into my writing. I wish I could somehow write a story with it greatly involved.

Favorite song (at the moment): "Wild at Heart" by Gloriana

Favorite books: Howl's Moving Castle, definitely. I'm afraid even Gregory Maguire's Wicked and Leaping Beauty don't even come close. Only Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Study in Scarlet does. As do the other stories of Sherlock Holmes. Other favorites are Anne Ursu's Shadow Thieves and The Siren Song, Louise Marley's Singer in the Snow, Nancy Moser's Mozart's Sister, Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series (in particular, The Time Paradox), Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha, and Kate Constable's The Chanters of Tremaris trilogy (most of all, The Tenth Power). The others...I just can't remember. Too many. But, as I said, Diana Wynne Jones' HMC tops them all for me. I haven't gotten around reading the sequels yet though...-sighs-

Friends on FF: StargateNerd, aeneid, bakazaruaddict, Nerva al'Thor, ANBUHound, Ashandra, kawaiiyuzumichan, Annika Ricaforte Lee, neon-chan, DarkstarShadowrose, Tsubome, kawaii gurl-11, Shadow's Rage, Animefangurl53, Gwynhafra, sleepyforest

Fanfiction plug:

For Detective Conan/Magic Kaito:
Here's to White Mage Koorii for The Seduction of KID, The Seduction of Kudo (the sequel), and Why Not, which is an interesting story that includes an unusual pairing...or rather, threesome, of Hakuba Saguru, Kudo Shinichi, and Kuroba Kaito. I almost want to squeal XD Also, please read A Witch's Apprentice by sonoci. It's interesting how magic was incorporated...not to mention, everything that's been going on is so exciting! There is also StargateNerd who is currently writing A Beautiful Relationship (the sequel to the one-shot, A Beautiful Friendship), a collection of mostly unrelated one-shots/drabbles entitled A Meitantei's Musings and a Magician's Melodramas, and a separate story for a one-shot (or was it two-shot?) from the collection, entitled Stop Poking Logic Shaped Holes Into My School, which is also a crossover with Harry Potter.

For Harry Potter:
There is also Shiruba Fokkusu for Musical Magic (forgive me for having gotten the title mixed up before o.O). It has been wonderful and I cannot express how giddy I got when I found out there was such a story that was Harry-centered, a Severitus, and involved music at the same time. I commend you, dear author!

For Howl's Moving Castle:
Do try reading Iolanthe 8's stories. Sophie's Love is like a rewrite of the novel with more insight for Sophie. The Wedding Suit is just hilarious and so in-character and so well-written that I fell in love with it instantly. How the Witch Stole Christmas! and You're a Mean One, Miss Angorian are rather funny parodies. The latter made me imagine Howl singing...and just messed up my head with the off-tune version I kept on hearing. Sorry, Howl o.O I'm not yet done reading Rags of Time yet but it's quite the piece of work about how Howl's life could have gone before the book. I think that it's the best the author has written out of all the five stories. You made me fall for HMC all the more. I have to thank you for that!

Keep on writing, minna! Good luck!

Fanfictions in progress...

I'll Be Home - Currently in the process of re-writing and editing. I've realized how messy I've written it...

Kiseki - Okay...so my update hasn't been posted yet. I need to find that notebook I put that chapter on...-grumbles-

Defying Prejudices: Submerge - This is another one that I'll be revising. As such, no guarantees for updates in the near future.

Kibou no Etoile - ON HIATUS. If anyone is interested in it and would really like me to continue, then I shall. I have my plot in mind but I just don't know if I should really push through with this.

To be posted soon:

Temporary Home (Naruto) - A one-shot that details how Naruto's life may have been if he was put in a foster care program. Inspired by Carrie Underwood's song, Temporary Home.

Bite Me (Detective Conan/Magic Kaito) - Something that was supposed to be a one-shot. I can't tell much except that this is a vampire fic...and it's a KaiShin. Inspired by a plot bunny handed over by StargateNerd. And my muse got ahead of me again...

Random Quotes:

"My heart?" She frowned, remembering. "It made too much noise. I wanted it to quiet down so I could talk to the dolphins."
"Do you hear her?" Numair asked the clouds. "She wanted to hear the dolphins so she stopped her own blessed heart! Mithros, Mynoss, and Shakith!"
Daine sat up. "I never!"
= From Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce

"Everybody is mentally ill." = From a friend.

"That's it! My tolerance is at its limit! Being forced to constantly listen to a song you don't even like is certainly not beneficial to one's mental health."
= Tatsushiro Satou from N.H.K. ni Youkoso!

"When you mention anime, you automatically think of otakus. And otakus usually have sociological difficulties. Such people also tend to become reclusive. That is...by airing funny anime, they are mass producing anime otaku..And thus are partly responsible for the emergence of such a significant number of NEETs. (Note: A NEET is an acronym that stands for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training")
In other words...N.H.K. is...
Nihon Hikikomori Kyokai!
Japanese Association for the Socially Withdrawn!"
= Tatsushiro Satou from N.H.K. ni Youkoso!

"It's such a great day so I decided to hang out a bit! What about senpai? Is senpai having fun strolling around the gardens?" she asked, not even breaking her smile for a moment.
Ah. Good, she called him senpai.
"Jogging." He corrected. "Not strolling. Strolling is for tree huggers and people in the poorhouse!"
= From the Gakuen Alice forum :P

"You can pick truth or lie and you can ask me a question. If you chose truth, I will strangle you. But if you choose lie, I will cut your head."
"But isn't that the same?"
"Now, now, truth or lie?"
"Cut my head! Can you not hear me, is my answer a lie or is it true? Answer me!
"What happened?"
"I see! If what Lief says is true, he will cut his head but if what he says is not the truth...he can't do anything."
"If he picks lie, he will strangle him, right? Lief said to cut his head so it is not a lie. But he did not say the truth either. They are the same, he can't touch him."
= Episode 4 of Deltora Quest. Finally figured out XD

"Shoes off, if you please, Master Harry, and hands washed before dinner."
=Kreacher in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (I find him an adorable creature - don't you?)

"Look...at...me..." he whispered.
The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed blank, and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more.
=From Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 32: The Elder Wand (This had me feel like crying! If I didn't know how to control my tears, I would've bawled! TT-TT)

"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"
=Molly Weasley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

...she (Sophie) snapped, “I can clean the dirt from this place even if I can’t clean you from your wickedness, young man!”
"Howl's not wicked," Michael protested.
"Yes I am," Howl contradicted him. "You just forget how wicked I'm being at the moment, Michael."

“You did it on purpose! You couldn’t rest until you made me miserable too. I shall have to hide until it’s grown out!...Despair! Anguish! Horror!" -Howl Pendragon (or Howell Jenkins--whichever, drat!)

"I think we ought to live happily ever after." -Howl

P.S. By the way, I'm promoting our role-playing forums here:

The Third Floor Corridor - For Harry Potter fans wanting to meet fellow fans. I'm an AWOL member but I figured I'll try referring people still. If you've stumbled upon our humble site through this profile, please say that Mizumi Forrester referred you :P Thank you!

There is one other...but I'm not sure I should post it. We haven't been active since a long time and I'm missing role-playing so...I'm improvising by writing new fanfiction.

Yes, I'm writing new ones. I know I should be working on the ones I already have...but I just can't help myself. All I'm going to say is that I'll probably have TWO AU Prince of Tennis fanfictions and an AU Howl's Moving Castle soon. Geh. I'm too fond of alternate-universe fics. Sorry :P Hopefully, I'd have updated Kiseki and Defying Prejudices by then too. We'll see. All of my subjects except one for this semester are science subjects. I'm hoping I make it through organic chemistry, food microbiology, and my other two subjects at the same time. Only accounting doesn't have laboratory time...what the heck.

Well, I should be off. I'm really supposed to be working on a paper. My laboratory partner's going to kill me when we meet again. Especially since I skipped today...on the passing of the paper OTL Please hope I don't die. Or, at least, I don't suffer...much.

Take care!
