Author has written 2 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh, and Thor.

Mina is really a penname. I read Dracula too much, and decided to take the name of one of the damsels-in-distress (though, to be fair, she's not a poor character). Finally started college! So far, so good. My vitals are still evident, so that's a good sign. (We'll see how long it lasts)

Right now I'm mainly focusing on my story, Been Too Long, because I feel like I owe it to my childish self to get this done. I've also been buying ye olde Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes from WalMart: they've started selling them!! My other story, Blinded By Fate, I will try to work on more, but I feel as if some changes need to be made. Fair warning!

Here's a bit about me:

I was mainly raised with three things: television, books, and imagination. Of course I went to school somewhere in between. Anyway, I mostly watched cartoons and when I was about 7 I moved on to anime and it stuck with me. I love the design technique they use (pointy chins and big eyes make all the difference!). I’m a HUUUGE MAJOR fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! I have the same birthday as Seto Kaiba!! I love both the original Yu-Gi-Oh and the abridged! LittleKuriboh is just too funny! When I'm laughing at his references, I feel like such a dork...even my parents call me a dork. I'm also way into InuYasha and Kingdom Hearts. Besides anime, I’m a comic-geek! Batman, Spiderman, Thor, and Iron Man are my favorites and no movie does them justice like the comic books, but they’re alright. I get up at 8 every Saturday morning so I can watch Justice League. I love everything Tim Burton. My favorite movies of his are Edward Scissorhands, The Silence of the Lambs, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. I love all kinds of music, Avril Lavigne and MCR for party tunes (or school mornings to perk me up), Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Katy Perry (who also has the same birthday as I do! Awesome!), and a ton of others. I'm mostly a pop/hard rock kind of girl, but I like all kinds of music.

Now, for your entertainment, awesome quotes that are almost as weird and funny as I am that describe me in some way, shape or form!...or was it all three...?

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police.

Go to heaven for the climate, hell for the company. --Mark Twain

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on the list.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

If I agreed with you we’d both be wrong.

A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. --Steve Martin

We never really learn how to grow up; we only learn how to act in public.

My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them. --Mitch Hedberg

Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut up.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I've never tried before. --Mae West

If God is watching us, the least we could do is be entertaining.

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. --Mark Twain

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don’t need it.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing!

The shinbone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

The sole purpose of a child’s middle name is so they can tell when they're really in trouble.

Good girls are bad girls that never get caught. ;)

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut and still think they are sexy.

Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

(My fav!! :3)The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

These quotes are more inspirational, but I love them nonetheless:

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
― Albert Einstein

“Everything you can imagine is real.”
― Pablo Picasso

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."

―William Shakespeare

"It is not the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."

―William Shakespeare
