It's been a long time coming. I was away for quite a while but now I'm back. A lot of things have changed in my life, some good and some not so good. The important thing is I'm back and I will try to write as much and as often as I can, that is if life doesn't get in the way.

So for those who don't know me, I'm Michelle (or Mickey as most of my friends call me). I'm 22 and I am still trying to figure out my life. I'm currently work in a pretty stressful place and the only place I can seek comfort and escape for a little bit are in shows and fanfics. My best friend and the only person in the world that I trust with all my heart lives in Canada (or as I like to call it fucking Narnia, because the only way I can get there is through magic). But I love her anyways and you guys know her as ArwenLalaith here.

I used to love Criminal Minds with all my heart until Paget left. Then it was just too hard to watch it without her. I do miss her on my screen and I hope she gets a new show soon because I need to see her face/smile/everything else on a regular basis. But fear not, I will still be writing CM fics as often as I can and they will always have Emily Prentiss because she is my angel.

I'm currently very much in love with Once Upon A Time. It has become my favourite show now. I love Prince Charming wasn't a prince to begin with and I love that Snow White isn't as helpless and naive as the one we see in the Disney movie. I love that she stands up for herself, fights for what she believes in and most importantly, she can totally kick ass. All the ladies on the show are amazing. They are awesome role models for girls now - you don't need a prince to fight for you and you never have to be a damsel in distress. You can be the one saving the prince instead. Did I mention that I love the Evil Queen and my heart breaks for her every time she cries? If you didn't watch the show, you probably won't understand why the Evil Queen has such a huge fan base and people are rooting for her. So, watch it! It's so awesome.

Anyways, I'm always watching Mythbusters (who doesn't want to have a job where you get to blow stuff up on a regular basis?), The Big Bang Theory, Happy Endings, The Biggest Loser (Jillian Michaels is back, people!), Modern Family, Ellen DeGeneres show, Saturday Night Live and anything with the Kardashians (don't judge me. No one can escape the Kardashians). So far, that's all I'm watching. There will be more that I will get addicted too...and I'll try to keep y'all updated.

People who I have a major girl crush on are Paget Brewster, Ginnifer Goodwin (I ship her with her adorable boyfriend Josh Dallas), Carrie Underwood, Lana Parrilla, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Kate Mckinnon, Khloe Kardashian, Jillian Michaels and Meghan Ory.

Any other new fics - and I assure there are (and will be) many - will also be posted over at the fic-comm ArwenLalaith and I set up over at LJ. The fic-comm is appropriately named Calliope's Garden - we're both huge fans of Greek Mythology and Calliope was the muse of epic poetry.

All my love,
Mickey (:
