Author has written 2 stories for Twilight.

You've reached Cricket's answering machine. If you're here to see her crud, keep scrolling; if you're here to complain about her exorbitant cell phone bills, the explosion of books littering her room, the fact that she forgot to fill up the car AGAIN, or any other number of teenage-y items...um, she's not here. Bye!

Hee hee, I find myself obsessed with updating this page. I be Cricket, I be 16, and I be somewhat insane. But hey, also means I'm somewhat sane. I'm just a glass-half-full kind of gal.

Anyway, I'm Cricket--a spunky girl, not a spunky bug, promise. But before we get into it, yes, Cricket is my real name. My whole family has the whole hippy-dippy-trippy name thing going on, mainly because my parent have permanently settled their tastes in the 60s and 70s. Really. Be glad my name isn't Twiggy or something... But I have 2 sisters, Lullaby and Sunshine, aka Lulu and Sunny. Ironically enough, my parents' names are Frank and Joan. Heh.

I'm short, j'habite en Floride, I take French (obviously...), and I like a whole slew of other things it would take entirely too much time to name at the moment. But above all, I LOVE reading. C'est ma vie. I like writing as well and I was turned onto this site by my band of friends who are as obsessed with Twilight as I am, if not more so.

My avatar is courtesy of iampanic on Iconator, who shares my utter adoration of Jasper Hale--if I didn't know she'd win, I'd play Alice rock-paper-scissors for a little southern lovin' of my own.

UPDATE DECEMBER 2009: I'm FINALLY finishing posting Cure for the Ache. Shame on me for taking a year off, right? I know. But no worries! It'll all be up soon.

My Stories:
Beyond the Looking Glass (Alice/Jasper): COMPLETE
~Cure for the Ache (Esme/Carlisle): IN PROGRESS

Current Status: Enjoying the last lap of Winter Break. Posting my hugest project to date, Cure for the Ache, the tale of how Esme overcame everything for love. Having too much fun with my new Blackberry. Editing my common app essays (ugh). Eating some pumpkin pie.

Cricket :D
