Life Update:
(for those who care)

I thought I'd get more time to write.

Sorry guys.

Life kinda takes priority.

Things have been crazy, but good. And I have some good news! My health has improved TREMENDOUSLY! I now have so few migraines that I can count them on one hand per month! That is a miracle. And I've gotten over a lot of other health issues as well. God is good, and he has helped me find a better doctor, who has been giving me much more insightful advice and much better medication. So I am glad that that leg of my journey through life is just about over.

Of course, now I've got carpal tunnel in my left wrist... (bangs head on desk) Seriously...what's next? Mutation? Maybe I'll grow wings and fly away into the sky epically...

I wish.

Hey Takuya...can you wish for wings for ME? (hopeful)

Thanks to everyone who still reads and reviews my stories. You guys are all so amazing! I want to do something for you! I'm going to make each of you a present! And I'll let you know what it is as soon as I come up with something worth giving! Thanks so much and God bless you beyond belief!

Hey, check this out! I made it!

NEWS: I am erasing all the junk off of my profile. No one reads in anyway, not even me! So it's all gonna go. Yay!

If you ever wanted to know a little about me:

-

My name is actually not rika195, (go figure that's not my real name). It's Toni. So feel free to call me whatever you like. It's kinda fun to be called Rika, cause I wish that was my name, but really I don't care what people call me. Rika, Toni, Nia, Dork...whatever you feel like is cool with me!

I'm a christian. I wouldn't be anywhere without Jesus except maybe in depression and suicide watch. He's my hero and lifesaver! Jesus is my life, and I wouldn't be the person I am without him, so to introduce myself without including that I'm a christian would be like drinking chocolate milk without the chocolate. And we all know it wouldn't be chocolate milk without it, right?

I really don't have any excuse for thinking Digimon rocks, except that...it ROCKS! If you feel otherwise, cool. I don't really care. But I can probably guarantee that how I write the Digimon characters is probably better than the show itself. haha. Cause I tend to try and make them as real as possible. It's fun!

Let's talk about music now. Music is such a huge part of "identity" in this day and age. And it has been since...I dunno...the 40's or something. But it's bigger today than it was in the 80's even! I'm sure everyone likes music...and you'll probably learn more about a person by what kinds of music they like than just they words they say. Right?

So my favorite music usually falls into these categories: Chrisitan artists, (my favorites being Thousand Foot Krutch, skillet, pillar, relient k, tobymac, avalon, the afters, downhere, and others...), Techno or Trance music, (music like tangerine dream, manheim steamroller, younger brother, atc, avalon remix, and thousands others...), and Rock music, (like 30 seconds to mars, Linkin Park, Ayreon, and so many others I couldn't possibly put them all down.).

To put it simply, I LOVE MUSIC! All kinds! Except soft jazz and blues, and most country. There's nothing more aggravating than poor country music. sigh.

So, more about me. I love art. Drawing is my favorite thing. I have like, a gazillion drawings scattered throughout my room of different characters from different books I've read, movies I've seen, mangas I've read, animes I've seen, or shows I've seen, etc. But now, I can actually write stories about those characters! You know, the kinds of stories that you dream up in your bedroom on a Thursday night while trying to fall asleep. Those stories and ideas just kind of come to you... and then you want to write all about them, but you can only get so far before you lose it and have to worry about school again. Thank God for fanfiction.net!

I keep trying to do better this year than I have in the past, as far as doing what is right, staying close to God, and following the right priorities. I have spent too much time on here in the past, and not enough time on things like working, chores, and school. So things are different now. There will be less updates, but I will lead a better life. Perhaps you should consider the same. The stories will continue, but shouldn't our lives be a story worth writing? My life should be worth living and worth writing about, and I intend to make it that way. So...I'll update as I can, but only as time permits. That is all I can promise. I hope you can understand.

Got to go since I don't have much time, but God bless you all! May you be blessed with sleep, wisdom, and peace at heart, and have a great week!

If you would like to know more... I have a couple online sites and spaces about myself.
The links are listed below.

Myspace:

http://www.myspace.com/dannflorr--(my homepage. It has an awesome profile song.)

Deviantart:

http://rika195.deviantart.com--(I can't say that I have any masterpieces up, but I will eventually)

Fictionpress:

http://www.fictionpress.com/u/526477/--(I don't just write fan fiction! Here are a few of the other things I've written)

You should read my brother's work! His pen name is Tremble Wolf, and he writes about Halo, Mechwarrior/Battletech, Assassins Creed, and more! He is so cool! Please read and review his stories! He has become an excellent writer simply from practicing here on fanfiction. And guess what? Now he is one of the top known Mechwarrior/Battletech authors on this site! His stories are worth reading!

My sister has an account too. Yes, she's the one that writes the paragraphs about Takuya in "If Wishes Were Fishes." And now, she has her own account. Her account name is Tshk. You should read her stories! Check it out! She's totally awesome guys! And chances are, you'll like her stories much better than mine. So yeah, go look for her. She's awesome.

So yeah, check it out! But she needs encouragement to keep writing or she'll forget. So if you have read and like her stories, send her a message telling her to get to work updating her stories already. Thanks!

And Tasha, will you EVER continue your stories? You have more time than me, and yet I update my stories somehow. GET TO WORK! haha.

So...Other people were doing this, so now I decided I might have fun doing it too.

Pairings I support:

-

Digimon :

Tai/Sora
Davis/Kari
TK/Kari
Izzy/Mimi
Ken/Kari
Takato/Rika
Henry/Rika
Kenta/Rika (betcha never seen THAT one, hah)
Takato/Jeri
Tommy/Suzie(inter-season mixing is fun)
Takuya/Zoe
JP/Zoe
Kouji/Rika(Seriously, I like this one of the best for some reason)
Ryo/Rika
Kouichi/Zoe

actually I pretty much support almost any paring people come up with, as long as it makes sense and is done well. And as long as its straight. no yaoi or yuri for me.

Tokyo Mew Mew :

Ichigo/Masaya (Yes guys, I support the original thing)
Ichigo/Kisshu (I wish this could have been!)
Lettuce/Ryou (I thought it was cute in the show)
Zakuro/Ryou (they would be awesome, I think)
Lettuce/Pai (They would have been good too)
Pudding/Taruto (so what if I use the Japanese spelling of their names?)
Zakuro/Pai (good pair I think, especially after the last episode)
Miwa and Moe to Keiichiro and Ryou (cute!)

and pretty much most other pairings except for yaoi or yuri. Yep.

Angelic Layer :

Misaki/Kotaro (it would have been cute)
Misaki/Ohjiro (of course!)
Icchan/Shuko (SOOO cute!)
Tamayo/Kotaro (it WAS cute and you know it)

and actually I can't think of any more except the cannon ones. Weird.

That's all, folks!

Have fun writing your own stories! If they're about things I like, you can be sure I'll probably read them just for fun! I love to read, and your stories are encouraging to read, because they are like enjoying something about characters I love that I'll never get to find anywhere else! Um... enough already. I'll go.

Till next time!
