I can't actually believe somebody would enjoy my work enough to look at this, so thank you very much for appreciating me. Here goes...

Name: Why should I tell you? You could be a creepy Internet stalker.

Me: To give you some insight into my personality that might be understood by visitors to this site especially, I am what you get if you mix together

I really love the comic strips Calvin&Hobbes and Doonesbury, and I watch Castle, Supernatural, Doctor Who, and How I Met Your Mother. I freely admit that I watch Castle almost exclusively for Nathan Fillion, in hopes that some episode he will spontaneously transform into Captain Malcolm Reynolds.

Copy&Pasted Stuff:

If you have ever pushed on a door that said 'pull', copy this into your profile.

Random Definition: The word "lethologica" describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want.

I like you. When I rule the world your death will be quick and painless.

I belong to the dwindling minority who still buy, read, and love daily newspapers. If you think it's incredibly ironic that this is a Web-based copy&paste statement, copy and paste this onto your profile.

It's you and me against the world... WE ATTACK AT DAWN!!

If you think that Mary Wollstonecraft and Stephanie Meyer should have a debate about the quality of Twilight, copy this to your profile.

If you would be laughing your head off when Mary Wollstonecraft won the debate before Stephanie could say a word, copy this to your profile.

If you know who Mary Wollstonecraft even is, copy this

*end of copy/paste stuff*

BTW: I am really, truly awful at updating. The annoyance of plot bunnies running around my head will fuel my initial drive, then once I've started, it will just fade away... I'm working on it. Please be patient. If you review, I'm more likely to update. Also, I write much more in the summer.
