I'm a college student and mother of two (three, depending on if you count my husband as a large child.). I like to write angst. There. I said it. Although, I have popped out some fluff here and there. In high school, I was that "weird girl" that all hung out with all the misfits. I'm still like that, only "weird" seems kind of normal now. I'm a psychology major, so being a people watcher and "anti-social" isn't weird any more. Some people call it anti-social, I call it being observant. Patatos, Patatahs. I really have a sarcastic, dry sense of humor. Apparently, I can say the most absurd things with a straight face and it cracks people up. I don't even realize I'm doing it; it just comes out. I have a cat and a dog. The cat is my favorite. Maggie is my baby. My husband and I inherited Ginger from his sister. I like her, but she's a German Shepard and kinda big, so she gets in the way sometimes.

Really, I'm just a huge nerd. Always have been, always will be. I like science, always have. That's why I like the CSI shows. NY is my favorite, and then LV comes in as second. I can't bare to watch Miami anymore. I just can't seem to take Horatio seriously. I guess reading a certain someones parody fics has ruined me. I'm a HUGE obsessive-compulsive D/L shipper. Of course, if you read my fics, you know that. I'm also a Flack/Stella shipper, just not as fanatical. Another one of my favorite shows is Without A Trace. Eric Close is just a dream to look at. Oh! And I can't forget Criminal Minds! Shemar Moore...drools If I could only watch three shows for the rest of my life they'd be NY, Criminal Minds and Without A Trace. I really don't watch a lot of T.V. though, so those are really the only three shows I actually set aside time to watch! lol

A few things to know about me:

Music: I'll give anything a listen at least once, though I gravitate more towards the rock/alternative and rap/hip-hop side of things.

Carmine Giovinazzo is a God in my opinion. Seriously, being that drool-worthy ought to be a felony.

I update my chapter stories when I can. My muse isn't necessarily terribly fickle, it's just that I'm busy a lot. School, kids, husband, a job, it all takes up a considerable amount of time.

I'm a spoiler whore.

I make all my own avatars. You can check them out here: paperbagqueen.livejournal.com

Anna Belknap is one of my favorite actresses. I better remember to put that in before one of my friends reads this and calls me out for not including it.

I have a penchant for remembering completely useless facts.

Some favorite quotes:

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird.

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. - Albert Einstein

The road to success is always under construction.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
-- Tom Clancy

Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket

Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.
