"Our words reveal our thoughts;
Our manners mirror our self-esteem;
Our actions reflect our character;
Our habits predict the future."

Hello all!

Whew, I got kind of kicked in the teeth this year. I was laid off and thereby lost the brand new house I was under contract for. So I flipped the table in a fit and decided to completely shift careers which has been as intense as it sounds. I am hoping, however, that this new career will foster new experiences that I can then turn around to use as writing fodder.

This has been my first opportunity in two years to actually come back to FFN, nevermind sit back and enjoy some animes I've had on backburner. For ages. I'm hoping to revisit some of the stories below and get that old fanfiction blood pumping again.

I hope your years have been going much better than mine. Wish me luck, all!
