![]() Author has written 4 stories for Harry Potter, and H.I.V.E.. Tamarisk Gold You don't get it yet, but you will. Also known as many other names. Call me Tamarisk. Or Tam. Fluent in Fangirl This profile pretty much blatantly plagiarized from Abstract Cupcake's. Go read her stuff. I am a female member of the human race. As far as you know. Stuff you Might Want to Know. Maybe. If you're a lifeless nerd like me. I'm a crazy, epic, fangirl. I like chocolate. Especially European chocolate. I'm a geek. An awesome, epic, geek. I hate stereotypes. And cliches. And conformity. Especially conformity and cliches and stereotypes. Also, I have way, way too much fun italicizing. Parings I S H I P (in just a few of my various fandoms) Harry Potter: My first fangirl craziness. I beat everyone I know at HP SceneIt and HP Clue and HP Trivia and everything else HP. I can quote directly. From all the books. Plus several of my fictional loves reside at Hogwarts. Harry/Ginny: I knew they were soulmates from the time you see Ginny in the second book. "Mum, have you seen my jumper?" Ron/Hermione: Epic love. 'nuff said. Lily/James: Ten times better than Harry/Ginny... Cho/Cedric: Sorry Harry. Rose/Scorpius: Because I always loved the Malfoys... And because I'm redheaded like the Weasleys... And because it's no fun if the parents approve. H.I.V.E.: EPIC AMAZING British books. I loved them so much I bought the third though the sixth on eBay from England. Because I was suffering from SPS (Stupid Publisher Syndrome). They were written in British. SPAZ ATTACKS! Don't judge. Actually, go ahead, judge, I don't care. Waiting for the seventh book to come out in England and go up on eBay. Waiting with bated breath. AUGUST I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! Shelby/Wing: The Wraith and Tall, Dark, and Humourless. 'nuff said. Otto/Laura: I shipped them before my BFFF (Best Fangirl Friend Forever) did. An adorable pairing from the start. Plus, I love Laura's accent. Franz/Nigel: Neither ever had anyone... I feel bad for them. So Franz/Nigel FTW even though I'm not usually into that sort of thing. Monk: The books, not the TV show. Julie/Benji: Because they never mention a boyfriend for Julie and because she and Benji have so much in common. Dunno about the show, but Benji is only mentioned in Mr. Monk and the Two Assistants. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Loved it from the beginning. Waited for the last few books with bated breath. Percabeth: Sorry, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, you're awesome, but you and Percy would not have worked out. Shipped them since Lightning Thief. Fav PJO pairing. Beckendorf/Silena: Because I cried at both of their deaths. And because they're awesome. Chris/Clarisse: Because they're awesome. And because they're adorable. And because I always thought Clarisse should have a bf. Maybe he'll make her less mean... Or not. The Kane Chronicles: Sadie/Anubis: Yeah, I know he's a god... Carter/Zia: Or Zia's shabti. Whichever. Walt/Jaz: Sorry, Sadie. (Wouldn't you rather date a god anyway?) Mysterious Benedict Society: Sticky/His-brief-girlfriend-from-book-two: She shouldn't have broken up with him because he called her beautiful. Even if he use a really, really big word. (Pulchritudinous, which by the way is one of my favourite words. I would love it if a guy called me pulchritudinous.) Hunger Games: Also none. Katniss should stay single forever. She doesn't want kids anyway, right? Katniss and Gale are more brother/sister in my opinion. And nothing against Peeta, at all, seriously, you rock, Peeta, but I just can't see her with you. Plus like a hundred more pairings that I don't feel like listing. Or that come from books that have not yet been published. Those will go up as soon as the books come out. Suffice to say, I'm a lifeless nerd (but not lifeless as in, like, a zombie). I spend most of my time on FF and neopets. I'm bored right now, and have a major case of writer's block, plus I don't have any good books to read. Therefore I am writing more of my profile. Um. I'm watching Buffy on Hulu as I write this. I've also got an episode of Castle on Youtube, buffering. If you care (or are bored) enough to read this, then you're probably a lifeless nerd too. Come on, random person, you're on FanFic for goodness' sake. You're a nerd. Don't argue. QUOTES: "No boy is worth crying over. The only one who is won't make you cry." "You will never miss someone more than you do when you are sitting right next to them and you know you'll never have them." "Some people say the glass is half-full. Some say it's half-empty. I say drink it and shut up." "Great minds think alike. And then there's us." "I can only count to four. One letter at a time." "Do you believe in love at first sight? I don't. But I'm going to look at you a few more times." "Life is a journey, a highway, a bowl of cherries, a box of chocolates. Life isn't easy, isn't simple, isn't fair. Deciding what it is or isn't doesn't change it. But you choose how you experience life, how you react to it. I'm choosing to have a little faith. " "You can cry, but it doesn't change your situation. You can scream, but you'll still be in the same place. You can whine, but it'll only annoy people. You can get off your lazy butt and do something about it, and then you'll see. You're never happy unless you try to be." "You can wake up and think 'it's going to be a terrible day,' and your mind will spend the entire day proving you right." The six truths of life 1. You can't lick all of your teeth with your tongue. 2. You just tried to do the above. 3. The first truth is a lie. 4. You're smiling now because you're realizing you're an idiot. 5. You'll copy this into your profile for some other sucker to read it. 6. There's still a stupid smile on your face Stupid Lables: On Sears hairdryer: On a bag of Fritos: On a bar of Dial soap: On some Swann frozen dinners: On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box) On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: On packaging for a Rowenta iron: On Boot's Children's cough medicine: On Nytol sleep aid: On a Korean kitchen knife: On a string of Christmas lights: On a food processor: On Sainsbury's peanuts: On an American Airlines packet of nuts: On a Swedish chainsaw: On a child's Superman costume: Random Funniness People are like slinkies; basically useless, but ever so amusing to watch fall down the stairs. If you can't convince them, confuse them. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, if well aimed. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you. What happens if you get scared half to death... twice? Never do anything that you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics. The dinosaurs extinction wasn't an accident. Barney came and they all committed suicide. I run with scissors, it makes me feel dangerous. I had amnesia once--or twice. You know what? I don't really even remember. Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film. They say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well, I think the guns help. If you stood there and yelled BANG, I don't think you'd kill too many people. Life isn't passing me by, it's trying to run me over. Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is my ceiling? When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. Sometimes I wonder, "Why is the frisbee getting bigger?" Then I get hit in the face. Consciousness: That annoying time between naps. If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales? If you don't like my driving then stay off the sidewalk! Don’t mess with me. I've got a stick. If two wrongs don't make a right, try three. When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep - not screaming, like the passengers in his car. I smile because I have no idea what's going on! One day, your prince will come. Mine? Oh, he just took a wrong turn, got lost, and is too stubborn to ask for directions. One day, we will look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject. Don't knock on death's door. Ring the bell and run. He hates that. Whoever said nothing was impossible never tried slamming a revolving door... Parents spend the first part of our lives teaching us to walk and talk, and the rest of it telling us to sit down and shut up. Of course I'm out of my mind! It's dark and scary in there! I'm not afraid of death! What's it going to do? Kill me? Real girls aren't perfect, perfect girls aren't real. You want a perfect girl? Go buy a Barbie Having the love of your life say "We can still be friends" is like having your dog die and your mom saying you can still keep it. (No Mom. I really don't want to keep Skippy.) When someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles to frown about it but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and punch them! I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned. I used up all my sick days...so I called in dead. Stressed is Desserts backwards :) When you get caught looking at him, just remember, he was looking back! Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most. You're laughing now because you're older than me by mere months, but when you 30 and I'm still 29, who will be laughing then? I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it. There's a light at the end of every tunnel...lets just hope it's not a train. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? I am in shape...round is a shape. I don't swim in your toilet, so don't pee in my pool. You cry, I cry, you laugh, I laugh, you fall off a cliff, and I laugh even harder. Boys are like trees – they take fifty years to grow up. Flying is not inherently dangerous- crashing is. Forecast for tonight: darkness. Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall through a sewer hole and die. Love your enemies. It gets them really confused. If aliens are looking for intelligent life, why the heck are you scared?! I called your boyfriend gay and he hit me with his purse. Some say the glass is half full, others the glass is half empty, all I want to know is who's drank my water! Life isn't about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.
