Name: only one other other person in my country shares my first and last name (though, strangely, someone else in my city shares my first and middle name)(her first name's spelled wrong though)

Gender: Female

Location: United something - and don't think there's only one choice. Plenty of country's names start with United. United States of Mexico, United States of America, United Kingdom - the list goes on and on, and I'm not sticking with one.

Age: Older than 10 and Younger than 100

Favorite Books: Les Misérables (musical and unabridged book - the Liam Neeson movie was terrible) Harry Potter (books, NOT movies), Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings (also books, not movies - but the movies aren't bad), Artemis Fowl, and probably plenty of others that I can't be bothered to think of right now.

Favorite Movies: Moulin Rouge, Sweeney Todd, Rent, Sound of Music, pretty much every other musical that I've ever seen - excluding Nine - plus some chick flicks and some adventure movies that aren't nearly as good so I don't want to actually list.

Favorite TV shows: Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Big Bang Theory. Also Legend of the Seeker isn't bad, especially the second season.

Favorite word: Eleutheromaniac (I'm not putting the definition, so go look it up. I don't think it's in the dictionary either, so try the internet...)

Youtube username: pelahnar4 - I make fanvids for Moulin Rouge and Doctor Who/Torchwood.

Favorite Music: EVANESCENCE!! And they recently released a new album and it is amazing! Other good music: Enya, Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, Wicked, Eagles, Beatles, Avril Lavigne, The Moody Blues, music from all the above musical movies, Mannheim Steamroller.

Pet peeve: When people are under the impression that 'could' and 'could not' are synonyms. Don't believe me? Think about this - what is the difference between the phrases 'I could care less' and 'I couldn't care less'? Hmm? Hmm? Well, apparently they mean the same thing, because plenty of people - including my own sister! - use 'I could care less' instead of 'I couldn't care less.' This drives me mad. (please don't be offended if you are one of those people. Simply think about the phrases logically, realize that saying you could care less implies that you do care some and saying you couldn't care less implies that you don't care at all - what you were probably trying to say - then thank me on bended knee for showing you the error in your ways and help me change the world for the better by pointing out this terrible anomaly to anyone you hear using it).

I'm sure I have other pet peeves, but that one annoys me so much I can't think about anything else right now.

If I take a long time to update, it is for one of the following reasons:

1) I have no idea where to go with the storyline (I'm terrible with actually finishing stories and almost never have an ending in mind when I start writing - or even when I'm half-way through). This is why reviews are so nice - you can give me ideas that I will almost certainly use in some way (giving you due credit, of course)

2) I'm busy elsewhere - not usually valid, but I'm in college now - homework, you've gotta love it! Of course, sometimes the knowledge that I have other things to do automatically floods my mind with ideas. As soon as I get the time to write them, unfortunately, they have all run away. They hide in dark corners and only come out again (often strangely mutated) once I'm busy again. Ideas are fickle things.

3) I've gotten bored with the story and have put it on a shelf for awhile. I'll tell myself that I'll work on it, but . . . I might leave it there for awhile - sorry.

Please, read and review my stories! Like them if you will, hate them if you want! If you hate them and wish to convey this through a review, please give a good reason and please have an account first - that way, I can understand and dispute your hatred. (So basically, if you don't like it, give constructive criticism, not a flame! :) Wishful thinking, right? Well, a girl can dream.)

Thank you!
