Welcome to my profile. Take time to read.

Enjoy!:)

"The most incomprehensible fact about the world is that it is comprehensible."--Albert Einstein

Update (Jun. 28): Well, it seems like I won't be writing in a while, even though it's summer. It's the curse of IB. Beta still open though.

Current obsession(s): FIREFLY AND CASTLE. ANYTHING WITH NATHAN FILLION IN IT.

Watching: The Mentalist season 1

Reading: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

Listening to: In My Veins -- Andrew Belle (I will never get over the Castle finale, okay. Never.)

"Something here doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick." -The Doctor

Hello there! My name's Jennifer :D

And if you're here to actually read about me, you can read on:

I love to read and write, like everyone else on this site. I fangirl for fictional couples. I like being clean and organized and having things work in logical senses. My friends say I 'can't let things go'. I'm very fond of astronomy. I don't like being underestimated. I care about the environment. I suck at art and really, wish to be better at it. I have two younger sisters. I'm Canadian. I'm an international student. I love the smell of books and the petrichor (Crimson. Eleven. Delight. Petrichor. Anyone?). And coffee. Gotta love coffee. I learned ballet for 7 years. My birthday's on the date exactly 40 years after Albert Einstein died.

I'm more of a one-shot writer. You'll find a lot of my work to be one-shots, or collections of one-shots. But someday, I'll try to write multi-chapter stories with actual plots...

Enough said?

"You don't love a girl because of beauty. You love her becase she sings a song only you can understand."--James Rasmussen

"Why Reviews are Essential to Authors - because reviews are our writing juice.

1) Reviews encourage authors to write more. Seriously, the simple words "I love your story, continue!" makes the author feel that their story means something to someone else and motivates the author to continue. The only reason I continued my stories and have the sudden spark to write more was because my friend inspired, well rather bothered me online to. She said she loved it and she'll love to read more, and kept going on... that just motivated me to finish it!

2) Constructive criticism is good. The author cannot pick up everything wrong with the story (if there is); we are only human. Good criticism is even better -- improving the author to be better.

3) It's a good way to network and make new friends. I have made many friends -- and between some of us our friendship has lasted years even when we never met each other -- when I read and reviewed FF here.

4) Hits don’t mean much. I could click on my own story a million times to get my hit count higher... or other people could just do that. Reviews mean so much more than hits, especially when there are inconsistent numbers between chapters.

5) Good reviews give authors warm, fuzzy feelings. Okay, if you love the author... give them some love man!

6) Some reviewers may inspire authors on a new direction. I have encountered times when I don't know where to go but reviewers have helped me.

7) Most importantly, authors get a chance to see who is actually reading the story. I may have already said this, but when there is a name to a review... we know a real person is actually reading the story. Again, hits don't mean that much.

8) It gives the author reason to write. It is my reason why I write. If no one is reading my story, what's the point of writing it? THAT and fandoms die. If you don't review, you'll kill the fandom further and then it won't motivate me to write.

9) Some author’s have interests lasting a day or so. At the top I said I write because it’s a way to escape. That is true. But at the same time, ideas and obsessions flit and flutter. I had a burning to write a certain story, but I got sick and after a few days, I no longer have the motivation to do it, and going to scrap the whole idea together."

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the first." --Albert Einstein

Some quotes to share with you:

"Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up."
--Conner Lassiter, Unwind

"In a perfect world everything would be either black or white, right or wrong, and everyone would know the difference. But this isn't a perfect world. The problem is people who think it is."
--Conner Lassiter, Unwind

"You can't change laws without first changing human nature.'
You can't change human nature without first changing the law.'

--Nurse Greta and Nurse Yvoon, Unwind

"But a knife ain't just a thing, is it? It's a choice, it's something you do. A knife says yes or no, cut or not, die or don't. A knife takes a decision out of your hand and puts it in the world and it never goes back again. "

— Todd Hewitt, The Knife of Never Letting Go

"War makes monsters of men."
— The Knife Of Never Letting Go

"You see, a conflict always begins with an issue - a difference of opinion, an argument. But by the time it turns into a war, the issue doesn't matter anymore, because now it's about one thing and one thing only: how much each side hates the other."

--Unwind

"It's not that you should never love something so much that it can control you.
It's that you need to love something that much so you can never be controlled.
It's not a weakness.
It's your best strength."

— Viola Eade, The Ask and the Answer

"To say you have no choice is to relieve yourself of responsibility"
— Todd Hewitt, Monsters of Men

"...Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?'
Jace said, "Unfortunately, Lady of the Haven, my one true love remains myself."
..."At least," she said, "you don't have to worry about rejection, Jace Wayland."
Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting."

—City of Bones

"It's the Mortal Cup, Jace. Not the Mortal Toilet Bowl."

--Isabelle Lightwood, City of Bones

"It means 'Shadowhunters: Looking Better in Black Than the Widows of our Enemies Since 1234."

—Jace Wayland, City of Bones

"Can I help you with something?'
Clary turned instant traitor against her gender. "Those girls on the otherside of the car are staring at you."
Jace assumed an air of mellow gratification. 'Of course they are,'he said, 'I am stunningly attractive."

— City of Bones

"Investigation?" Isabelle laughed. "Now we're detectives? Maybe we should all have code names."
Good idea," said Jace. "I shall be Baron Hotschaft Von Hugenstein."

— City of Bones

"That does it," said Jace. "I'm going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year."
Why?" Isabelle said.
So you can look up 'fun.' I'm not sure you know what it means."

— City of Ashes

"Malachi scowled. "I don't remember the Clave inviting you into the Glass City, Magnus Bane."
"They didn't," Magnus said. "Your wards are down."
"Really?" the Consul's voice dripped sarcasm. "I hadn't noticed."
Magnus looked concerned. "That's terrible. Someone should have told you." He glanced at Luke. "Tell him the wards are down."

—City of Glass

"And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me."

--City of Glass

I know this would have happened anyway. That what I need to survive is not Gale’s fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.
So after, when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?”
I tell him, “Real.”

--Mockingjay

The cord, a familiar voice said. Remember your lifeline, dummy!
Suddenly there was a tug in my lower back. The current pulled at me, but it wasn't carrying me away anymore. I imagined the string in my back keeping me tied to the shore.
"Hold on, Seaweed Brain." It was Annabeth's voice, much clearer now. "You're not getting away from me that easily."
The cord strengthened.
I could see Annabeth now-standing barefoot above me on the canoe lake pier. I'd fallen out of my canoe. That was it. She was reaching out her hand to haul me up, and she was trying not to laugh. She wore her orange camp T-shirt and jeans. Her hair was tucked up in her Yankees cap, which was strange because that should have made her invisible.
"You are such an idiot sometimes." She smiled. "Come on. Take my hand."
Memories came flooding back to me-sharper and more colorful. I stopped dissolving. My name was Percy Jackson. I reached up and took Annabeth's hand.

--The Last Olympian

"I feel a haiku coming on."
The Hunters all groaned. Apparently they'd met Apollo before.
He cleared his throat and held up one hand dramatically.
"Green grass breaks through snow.
Artemis pleads for my help.
I am so cool."
He grinned at us, waiting for applause.
"That last line was only four syllables," Artemis said.
Apollo frowned. "Was it?"
"Yes. What about I am so big-headed?"
"No, no, that's six syllables. Hmm." He started muttering to himself.
Zoe Nightshade turned to us. "Lord Apollo has been going through this haiku phase ever since he visited Japan. 'Tis not as bad as the time he visited Limerick. If I'd had to hear one more poem that started with, There once was a goddess from Sparta—"
"I've got it!" Apollo announced. "I am so awesome. That's five syllables!" He bowed, looking very pleased with himself.

--The Titan's Curse

"Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can."
Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"
Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"
"Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries."
Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."
Maybe it was the fact that we were so tired and strung out emotionally, but I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at us. "I do not understand."
"I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said.
"And…" Thalia tried to catch her breath. "I want to buy a dam T-shirt."

--The Titan's Curse, Percy Jackson and the Olympians

"Hope survives best at the hearth."
--Percy Jackson, The Last Olympian

"You don't love a girl because of beauty. You love her because she sings a song only you can understand."
--James Rasmussen, Secret vampire

"You know, you never really cared about anyone, but someday you will, and it's going to hurt. It's going to hurt--a lot"
--James Rasmussen, Secret vampire

"Even if we're apart, we'll be looking at the same sky!"
--Ash Redfern, Daughters of Darkness

QUINN:" You always look after Number One, don't you?"
ASH: "Doesn't everybody?"

--Daughters of Darkness

"Do I look like the kind of person who wastes time turning goats into pincushions?"
--Ash Redfern, Daughters of Darkness

"Don't try that stuff. ...You know what stuff! That 'I'm Jez and I'm so wild and beautiful' stuff. That 'why don't you just drop your stick and let me hit you because it'll be fun' stuff."
--Morgead Blackthorn, Huntress
