Wow, this profile is long. I've just been adding to it for years; I never realized how much it actually grew. o.O I don't blame you for scrolling over all this junk.

I love this website...and this profile is where I can reveal secrets about myself that no one else knows. Like how I am a dieheart romance fan - if you were to ask anybody I know, they would scoff at the idea, and really, I don't encourage that image (on purpose). I guess this is just a place where I can explore the other side of myself; the way I am when the world isn't watching (woot!). After all, it's easier to pour out secrets to a stranger than someone you know.

Otherwise, my personality is pretty much the same as in real life. I remember when I first came to this website and I reviewed; I was so bubbly it was unbelievable. Yup, I was the one going "OMG plz update!" and "I lovee ur story. Lub, Cherrysinger." Heh, you'll find I've tuned down a lot...of course, my enthusiasm is still sometimes overpowering, but I'd like to think I've matured. Is that a good thing or not? I'm not sure sometimes, but I haven't been completely tamed yet, nor will I be in the near future (or ever, if I have my way -smirk-)

Anyway, this is me!

Name: Starts with a letter
Gender/Sex: Female
Age: A proud teenager...(sometimes)
Nationality: Canadian
Looks: Short black hair. Layered. Side bangs.
Personality: Make your own assumptions, hopefully they won't be too bad. I do have a tendency to want to be liked though; I dislike being disliked, if that makes sense. And believe it or not, I take it as a flaw because whenever I feel like someone doesn't like me, I try my best to please them. The urge gets pretty annoying after awhile.
Fave colour: Blue! Well if you read this before, you would've seen green too. But I changed my mind, like I usually do.

I LIKE (this has to be the longest run-on sentence ever)...

Adrenaline, my birthday, excitement, nice, fuzzy dreams (preferably where I'm kissing a hunk), clouds, the sky, summer nights, popsicles, junk food, candy, dip cones from DQ, eating, my computer, shopping (what can I say? I'm a girl), the mall, clothes, having lotsa money, lotion, deodorant, movies, my friends (I love you!), jokes, funny stuff, music, tv, reading, writing, anime, books, having fun, guys but especially those with messy hair and who are loyal, sweet and honest, people who know how to have fun, happiness, hanging out, anything that smells good, fruity body spray, nice people, seaweed, a sense of humour, my family, travelling, Christmas, Halloween (yes I still go trick-or-treating despite my age...who can resist free candy?), Easter, my birthday, quotes, and that's all I can think of now. But I have way more that I'll put on later when I think of them.

I DON'T LIKE...

Being woken up when I don't feel like it, my room, rooms with depressing colours, starving, being sick (it is NOT a good experience, no matter what anyone says) not knowing what's going on, garlic, onions, ginger, turnips, anything that smells bad, jello, lime-flavoured chips (nasty, I tell you), nasty attitudes, judgemental people, being ignored, backstabbing, lies that aren't white lies, smoking, the smell of gas, going to a new school and not knowing anyone, being seperated from friends, hypocrites, backtalking, yelling, feeling down, dirtiness (in the literal meaning of the word), bad marks (so sue me, I like to do well in school), and more that I'll think of later.

QUIRKS

I have a thing for counting things - anything. When I'm reading, I'll silently count the number of lines I've read. The number of paragraphs. While we're driving, I'll count the number of telephone poles until the next sign, and when I'm running, I'll count my steps; stuff like that. I never gave it much thought since it's so much a part of me that I've never questioned it, but I've recently read an HP story in which Draco had an obssession with counting. I guess I'd never thought of it as strange until that moment. Odd how much people differ from each other, don't you think?

GREATEST WRITING PEEVES

When authors:
- Write 'ding dong', 'knock knock', 'crash!' or any other like terms in place of actually describing the sounds, motions, or whatever the case may be. It just sounds like you're too lazy and decided to take the cheap way out. I just might have been guilty of this before, can't remember, but that was probably when I thought those kinds of things were cool and such a "wonder" of fanfiction, which I've clearly changed my mind about.

- Use Japanese words frequently. Yes, I've done this before because I thought it was cool (I was new to the website). I don't mind the occasional word or two, but this is an English website, so language in stories should be somewhat constant. Besides, people new to fanfiction have no idea what's going on. It took me awhile to catch up, myself.

- Write about how a character is average looking, then go about gushing over how his/her (usually her): skin is creamy, lips are so plump, eyes are such and such gorgeous colour, hair is so shiny and thick, and etc.

- Use lyrics as part of their stories. This perhaps isn't a great writing peeve, it just annoys me slightly. Once again, I was guilty of this (hint: was). I don't mind if it's just used to open/divide/close chapters, but honestly, when I read lyrics it's just not the same as hearing them. So when an author writes the lyrics in, listening to the music, it seems great but the reader isn't part of that recieving end of the music; furthermore, different people have different tastes in music. So sticking a random song into an otherwise great story at some climaxing moment usually doesn't work, if anything it kills the mood. Only truly great authors can do this and I have only met one in my life. I am most firmly not one of them.

FUTURE STORIES (I'm beginning to think I will never get around to writing these)

The Hand of Destiny
Every twenty years they were reborn. And every time, they were killed. For a thousand years destiny tried putting them together. And for a thousand years, it failed. So...what makes this time any different?

Crimson Flower
Something terrible is happening. Something that wasn't supposed to happen in the first place. It could destroy everything that mankind has worked so hard to achieve...and the question is, who could save them?

Hidden Popularity
Syaoran was labeled geek. Sakura was labeled ‘in’. But what they don’t know is that Syaoran may not be so much of a geek as they thought…in fact, maybe he isn't a geek at ALL. And if he gets discovered? Let the games begin.

Favourite Anime: Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Card Captor Sakura, Elfen Lied (though not my usual preference - this series is really disturbing), Spirited Away, Denno Coil, Darker Than Black

Favourite Plot Lines: Denno Coil, Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto, Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Avatar, the Labyrinth

Favourite Couples x) - I'm not particularly picky, so I'll pretty much go with anything as long as the story has feeling, is good to read, and the characters are well-developed - you'll probably find random pairings in my fav's list that are not on my fav couples list. But, like anyone, I have people who I just like seeing together, good story or not. I mostly prefer canon, but I have to admit, some of the quirkier pairings have also captured my heart.

Syaoran / Sakura - Card Captor Sakura
Tomoyo / Eriol - Card Captor Sakura
Kenshin / Kaoru - Rurouni Kenshin
Inuyasha / Kagome - Inuyasha
Draco / Hermione - Harry Potter
James / Lilly - Harry Potter
Harry / Ginny - Harry Potter
Kakashi / Sakura - Naruto
Sasuke / Sakura - Naruto
Haku / Chihiro - Spirited Away
Jareth / Sarah - Labyrinth
Edward / Bella - Twilight
Jesse / Susannah - The Mediator
Mamoru / Usagi - Sailor Moon
Van / Hitomi - Escaflowne
Zuko / Katara - Avatar: Last Airbender

(eh, as you can see, I indulge in many different, and often random, fandoms. Oy, that sort of rhymed!)
