Hmm . . . I tried to update this damn thing a few days ago, and obviously it didn't work. So, I'll take the time out of my mundane life and type some random crap about myself again. Here it goes . . .

It's been a long time since I posted anything on this site, because quite frankly, I hadn't discovered anything I really wanted to write a fan fic about. Now I'm back, and as the saying goes, "the pen is mightier than the sword." One of the best quotes around, at least I think so. Looking back on all those fics I wrote that are posted here (I wrote most of them in high school) I realized that my writing style has changed dramatically. Hopefully for the better, but you decide, okay? :D

After spending some time over seas, roaming about the country, my perspective on life has changed as well. I try not to take anything for granted, living each day as it comes my way and to the fullest extent. I'm generally a funny person, but not when I'm trying to be. Being put on the spot like that sort of makes me feel uneasy. I'm terribly socially inept, spending most of my time reading and writing, but I keep a couple good friends and they seem not to mind my awkwardness. Let's see, hmm . . . I'm a free lance writer, and a lazy one at that, so I haven't really made much money to speak of. I can't leave a book store with out at least buying one book or unless I'm all broke and shit. :D For more random, odd details, continue to read.

Okay, so now you can see what an odd ball I am, huh? Feel free to Email me at ElementJerri@, if you're bored and want to chat, or if you want to give me ideas for a story I'm working on. I love you all, and hope you enjoy my work! Ja ne! (See ya'!)
