Hello. I'm not going to tell you my real name, but you can call me Marguerite because I wish that that was my name. I like my name, but I think that Marguerite is even prettier than mine. I am a teenager and still in high school (one more year!) and have begun the college process... AAAAHHH!! SAVE ME!!! (sometimes I feel like I'm in over my head... la la la laa-aaaaa)

MY NAME IS NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH PERCY WEASLEY! YUCH! I am devoted to Sir Percy Blakeney of The Scarlet Pimpernel. He was my first "literary love" I guess you could say... sigh...

What else to tell you... I have a younger sister that I do not get along with at all. We are as different as night and day; we have the same parents, but we do not look anything alike and have opposing temperments. New tangent: My goal is to grow up and become rich and famous while helping the world, possibly through a career in international law. Je pense que je vais etudier le francais a l'universite parce que j'adore le francais. As you can see, I like french (I apologize for the lack of accent marks. For some reason, I can't get them to show up here.) However, I also love all things United Kingdom and my dream home is somewhere on the shores of Loch Lomond with a a handsome Scot by my side watching a lot of little Scots running around.

I am a devoted swimmer and student (consequently I average about four to five hours of sleep during the school year) but I also play the piano and the clarinet. I am in the sweetest high school musical group ever and I hope to travel to Spain and Austria next summer when we go on tour.

Some of my favorite things: swimming, the theater (I wish I did it...), MUSIC, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Jane Austen, Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, my friends, my British Literature class, my school, swimming, clarinet, piano, my Advanced Writing classes, The Phantom of the Opera, The Producers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Master and Commander, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, French, Scotland, WRITING, reading, and cravats. I TOTALLY have a thing for cravats.

Music: I'm a big fan of Broadway. Fave shows: The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Phantom of the Opera, SPAMALOT (absolutely hysterical), The Civil War, Jekyll & Hyde, Les Miserables, and many, many others. I feel so blessed to be able to go to the theater on a regular basis (although I've never seen an actual Broadway musical on Broadway... it's on my list of things to do before I die). I also like basically anything other than rap. Yes, that does include classical music. Mozart and Rachmaninoff (sp?) are my favorite classical composers; I also love the finale to the New World Symphony. Finally: Howard Shore is my hero! I saw him in concert when he came to my (not-so-fair) city... It was amazing! swoons

My favorite types of fanfiction: anything Jane Austen. I am also addicted to The Scarlet Pimpernel, Bridget Jones's Diary (movie version) although I am not sure why, and Jane Eyre.

For those of you who read my stories. I am HORRIBLE about updating because life is so crazy. I apologize in advance for the wait period between stories. Currently, I also have a non-fanfiction idea running around in my brain that I hope will someday turn into a full-fledged novel, so getting that baby out is going to cut into my fanfic time.

I hope you enjoy my stories!
