"I say, let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea."
--Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"If there is one thing I dislike, it is the man who tries to air his grievances when I wish to air mine."
--P.G. Wodehouse

"There should always be one more cat than person, so everyone has one to pet, and I have two to myself."
--Jarod Kintz

"There seemed to be three choices: to give up trying to love anyone, to stop being selfish, or to learn to love a person while continuing to be selfish."
--Lydia Davis

My "initials" when I sign author's notes (TTDW) actually do not stand for "Things to Do at Walmart." These letters stand for a set of words in various languages that I find really beautiful and that I use to form my fanfiction name, even though it's obnoxiously long ;P. My name is Tais Takara Damaris Wanaao.

Tais is a Greek name that means "bound" or "bound together."

Takara is a Japanese name that means "precious treasure."

Damaris is another Greek name that means "gentle."

Wanaao is a Hawaiian name that means "Dawn."

All of it makes up Tais Takara Damaris Wanaao. These are my favorite names, so I threw them all together to make my fanfiction name. The problem was that I figured Tais Takara Damaris Wanaao would be a mouthful for fanfiction users, and I came up with the "witty" substitution of "Things To Do at Walmart." However, I don't mind being called "Tais Takara."

I'm a fan of straight pairings and slash pairings (it really doesn't make a difference to me.), and I'm a fan of the romance genre--yes, I'm one of those girls XD. I'm still a pre-teen, but I want to go to college for creative writing and east-asian studies (specifically in Japan).

Also, I'll post the same favorite pairings list that I've been posting and keeping surprisingly updated on one of my other accounts:

Merlin/Arthur (Merlin) A.K.A. Merthur (LET'S CELEBRATE, GUYS! MERTHUR IS OFFICIALLY CANON!!!!! WOOOOOOO!)

Paul McCartney/John Lennon (The Beatles) A.K.A. McLennon

Murdoc/2D (Gorillaz)

Murdoc/Cyborg Noodle (Gorillaz)

William Adama/Saul Thai (Battlestar Galactica)

Bradley James/Colin Morgan (These are actually just the actors who play Arthur and Merlin respectively...-whisper-we all know the two of you are together!!!) A.K.A. Brolin

Aragorn/Legolas (Lord of the Rings)

Amane/Hyoue (Her Majesty's Dog)

Church/Tucker (Red vs. Blue) A.K.A. Chucker (oh, that always cracks me up!)

Simmons/Grif (Red vs. Blue)

Donut/Caboose (Red vs. Blue)

Shilo/Graverobber (Repo! The Genetic Opera)

Graverobber/Nathan Wallace a.k.a. Repo Man (Repo! The Genetic Opera)

Midna/Link (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) A.K.A. Mink

Ghirahim/Link (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword) A.K.A. Ghiralink (Does Ghirahim even REALIZE how many uncomfortable implications he fits into each individual sentence?)

Sirius Black/Remus Lupin (Harry Potter--"Hugged like brothers, my ARSE!")

Harry Potter/Ron Weasley (Harry Potter--This pairing I'm iffy on, but there are points in the movies where I'm like: They're together.)

Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy (Harry Potter)

Draco Malfoy/Severus Snape (Harry Potter)

James Potter/Lily Evans (Harry Potter)

Shawn Spencer/Carlton Lassiter a.k.a. Lassie (Psych) A.K.A. Shassie

G-Dragon/T.O.P. a.k.a. Kwon Jiyong/Choi Seung-hyun (Big Bang--I just have to establish: T.O.P., you make me melt. And GD is so CUTE! I can totally understand why you're secretly lovers -just a disclaimer, I have no idea what these two, or any of the Big Bang boys for that matter, do in their spare time-) A.K.A. G-T.O.P.

Kyoya Otori/Tamaki Suou (Ouran High School Host Club) A.K.A. Kyomaki

Sebastian Michaelis/Ciel Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji--I was iffy on this pairing when I first started the show, do to my wariness of a seemingly pedophilic relationship, but after a lot of hard thought, I've determined that Ciel Phantomhive is clearly meant to have developed past the point of childhood based on his experiences and opinions and lust for revenge, as the whole series is based on. As for the argument that it's gross since Sebastian is supposedly an unknown number of years older than Ciel--We don't know how much older, but I'm guessing a couple thousand years since he joked in one episode that he'd met an Egyptian pharaoh once--I only have one thing to say. In Twilight, Edward is 92 years older than Bella, and we let that slide. Therefore, I think we can cut Sebastian, the demon from hell who's a million times cooler than Edward, a little bit of slack.) A.K.A. Sebaciel

I like anime, music, WRITING, and not much else. Unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of sports or anything like that. I do my best when writing stories to ensure that they're not cleshe, that they make sense, and that they're enjoyable. I dislike mary-sue's, and like drama, but only when it's correctly applied to stories. Though everybody gets tired of cliche's, it drives me absolutely crazy when you see cliche drama. The Twilight books weren't totally able to turn me off of drama romances, but they made me very particular about them.

My general advice to anybody and everybody: Don't pull a Stephenie Meyer.

I got the idea for "Things To Do at Walmart" from the actual list "16 Things to do at Walmart" that I saw on another user's profile.

16 THINGS TO DO AT WAL-MART

1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they aren't looking.

2. Set all the alarm clocks in Electronics to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.

4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, " 'Code 3' in house wares"... and see what happens.

5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.

6. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.

8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

9. Look right into the security camera & use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.

10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti - depressants are.

11. Dart around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.

2. Run through the aisles shouting; "ITS GONNA BLOW! EVERYBODY GET OUT"

13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, whisper, "Pick me! Pick me!"

14. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream: "NO! NO! It's those voices again!"

15. Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while and then yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

16. Get several bouncy balls and throw them down an aisle shouting "Pikachu, I choose YOU!"

This list made me laugh out loud. So really, it was pure coincidence that I happened across this list a while before registering this account. I have another fanfiction account called "Team Anime" but this account is sort of the one I'm hiding behind. See, my older sister knows about my Team Anime account, so I'm posting all of my M rated stories on this one so that she doesn't know. It's sneaky, but I'd really rather not find out that my sister (who is currently in college) has been reading my sex stories with a horrified grimace when she comes to visit.

The last movie I watched was "The Phantom of the Opera", and I was thinking about writing a fanfiction for that, just because the ending sucks, when I decided that my Gorillaz rave is more important to me. A while ago I had a Ouran High School Host Club streak, which lasted about five seconds, and only a while before that I had a Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess streak. As you can see, I switch around with my interests a lot, so I'm hoping that I can get somewhere with my Gorillaz story, which is not only my first M rated story, but also my first story on this account! Yay! Please note however: Just because it's my first story on THIS ACCOUNT, it is not my first story on fanfiction.

I'm not a total amateur--not completely, anyway.

My "Team Anime" profile has a lot more information about ME if your actually interested, but I hope you guys like the M rated versions of Team Anime's stories and enjoy!

Yours Truly,

Tais Takara*

July 27th, 2013,

Greetings to all fanfiction-ers reading this profile hoping to find out WHEN THE HECK I plan on updating MOSHL (My Ocean, My Sky, My Home, My Love; I'll not say the full name again because it is surprisingly obnoxious to speak out loud, huh?), hold onto your underpants because I have some bad news. Recently--as in...mm, maybe a month ago--my laptop CRASHED. I know! GASP! It totally pooped itself and now all my Merthur documents are in JEOPARDY!!!! Of course, however long it takes to fix my computer I'll still keep updating my story, but until my laptop is fixed I can't write any other chapters! I'm really very sorry, I keep thinking "I'll just start writing on notebook paper!" but then, you know, that lazy instinct kicks in after a few hours of writing by hand and...sha-bamb. Your muse runs away laughing cruelly all the while.

Therefore, I suppose you could say that MOSHL IS OFFICIALLY ON HIATUS.

At least until I get my computer fixed...(my dad says he's not sure he can fix it, but he says that every time my laptop breaks so that I'll cry for a few days and consequentially learn my lesson (("You DON'T TYPE with your computer in your lap!!")) before he magically repairs the damage...I'm not sure this time though.)

Cross your fingers for me, everyone! Sorry again!

Yours Truly again,

Tais Takara*
