I am me...

you are you...

and I am not sure why anyone would really want to read about me when there are so many better things to read on this site but here goes:

Beside my family, my greatest loves are the written word and ice hockey. Anyway... GO PENS! *sticks tongue out at husband who is a Flyers fan*).

I have more imaginary friends than real ones and I prefer it this way.

I love all kinds of writing. I am partial to Harrys (Dresden and Potter), vamps from H authors (Hendee & Hamilton), shojo manga (especially SkipBeat), superheroes (especially Thor and the Punisher) and the ultimate in brain candy (smutty historic romance... it's a wonder I don't have cavities in my brain).

When I was young, my idol was Jo from Little Woman (still is) and I was jealous of Alice because she got to go to Wonderland (still am).

I hate dill pickles, schnitz un knepp, sun burns, and telephone calls.

I believe that the majority of the world is populated with good people but that the bad ones seem to have more power.

Wow... Innocent Whispers has finally been completed. hmm, should I work on a Buffy or the ninja story next?

I guess I am supposed to acknowledge that I do not own any of the original characters or the universes in which I have written fan fiction... they belong to the original writer, their publishers in Japan and for the case of Skip Beat, VIZ media (darn their hides with their need to take out all the cultural references and for switching names around to make it more American... we are not stupid you know, we can handle having a family name first and a given name last... and taking out the honorifics takes a lot out of the story line... and I buy the damn things anyway so why do you make everyone take the more culturally pertinent translations down and leave me with only the "white-washed" versions... OH I CAN RANT ABOUT THIS FOR HOURS so I will stop before I get myself in trouble)... anyway, I do not own the rights to any of them.

On the other hand, I am adding at least one of my original characters into my imaginary friend room because, really, Koga is divine... oh so yummy but oh so very broken. He will fit in so well with my other imaginary friends. I hope that you enjoy him (and my stories) as much as I do. Thank you for reading!!

Oh, and I don't own Rachel or Trent or any other of the cool characters from the Hollows either (no matter how many naughty thoughts I may have about Trent in my free time or how impressive I think Jenks is *grin*... gotta love a 4 inch man who has 50 plus kids and can take on the nastiness that seems intent on taking out Rachel). They are totally Kim Harrison's imaginary friends that I so humbly borrow (okay, given my ego... not so humbly borrow *laugh*).

Alas, I also have no claim to the wonderful world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer which belongs to Joss Whedon (and perhaps other entities that I know not how to properly identify but suspect include Mutant Enemy (grr-argh) and the stations that showed it) and since I suspect James Marsters' has no interest in old ladies, I will be forced to keep my Spike thoughts to myself. (hmm, Trent and Spike... definitely a trend there... throw in Thor and I could be a happy camper the whole way around... *laugh* there is a reason I married a blond, even if his hair is greying now)
