Hey there! Just a few things about me that you might want to know: I love The Phantom of the Opera, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel, Star Wars, Sherlock, and Disney. I'm a former orch dork (I played the violin) and I just love music in general but especially musical theatre. I'm also involved in theatre (usually working on the design/tech stuff, although I have acted in a few shows). I do eventually plan on publishing some of my own fanfics, but college and work are my first priorities.

Oh, and one other thing, I've changed my pen name a few times, so if anyone really cares, I was also: Pirate For Life, Lass of the Sea, Mlle. Erika M, and possibly something else that escapes my mind right now. I just feel that TechieNinja18 works best with my changing tastes.
