After far too much time, I've decided to rewrite my bio here, and bring it a little up to date! My name is Thalia, a eighteen-year-old from Oregon, USA. Blue eyes and red hair, and I'm probably the most ridiculously sentimental person you will ever meet. I am not kidding; my favorite character in a book could fall down and scrap their knee, and I'll probably start to cry wondering if they're okay. Tragedies are my favorite kind of story, because I love that terrible ache I get in my chest and body when I'm able to feel for a character. I use writing and reading to escape the sometimes too-much-to-handle pain of real life. I'm really conservative; crazy conservative, on the few of those on the internet who are. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which makes me a Mormon. I'm proud of that, and I stand by it, through thick and thin. It's the only stable thing in my entire life and it has never failed me. I'm an aspiring author and am hoping to be an editor for young adult fiction in the future, making ins with publishing companies along the way in order to get my own work published. Fanfiction is what I use to practice my writing before making it "permanent" in my real books. I'm eighteen and never been kissed. Three fandoms that changed my life were Phantom of the Opera (age five!), Final Fantasy X (age seven!), and the Mortal Instruments (age fourteen!). These have laid the basic foundations for who I am, and because of them, I am changed. I'm insecure, not ever happy with myself, but that's part of being a teenager, right? I've have problems really trusting people, which is only my own fault; I've had people walk in, and one of the most important walk out, and I ache every day with things I wish I could change. I write book reviews now, and my review blog has literally been one of the only things to keep me sane this last year.

Some of my favorite fandoms to write?
-Mortal Instruments
-Hex Hall
-Three Delivery

Don't get me wrong--I have billions of fandoms, but some of them I'm afraid to touch for fear of messing up the perfection they already are. Or the fandom has grown too big for me to want to jump into the fanfiction realm, hahah. Something else; a little thing; I usually am rooting for the underdog. *waves Team Phantom and Team Cal flags* Unfortunately, my OTPs never happen.

What are those OTPs you ask? Well...this is just a few. My OTP list is endless--really.
-Phantom/Christine (Phantom of the Opera)
-Raoul/Meg (Phantom of the Opera) (-Jace/Clary (Mortal Instruments)
-Will/Tessa (Infernal Devices)
-Gabriel/Sophie (Infernal Devices)
-Cal/Sophie (Hex Hall)
-Arthur/Guinevere (Merlin)
-Merlin/Morgana (Merlin)
-Percival/ANYONE (Merlin) (-Tommy/Jude (Instant Star)
-Tidus/Yuna (Final Fantasy X)
-Harry/Hermione (Harry Potter)
