Well I am a 23 year old student attending BYU. I am currently a linguistics major. I am completely obsessed with Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars fanfiction.

For those who are interested, I am also Kateydidnt.

And a rather funny quote I read in class one day: "With regard to whatever objects give you delight, are useful, or are deeply loved, remember to tell yourself of what general nature they are, beginning from the most insignificant things. If, for example, you are fond of a specific ceramic cup, remind yourself that it is only ceramic cups in general of which you are fond. Then, if it breaks, you will not be disturbed. If you kiss your child, or your wife, say that you only kiss things which are human, and thus you will not be disturbed if either of them dies. --Epictetus (emphasis added)

For those who are interested: I will be re-writing Out of Place to be DH compliant. Obviously I'll have to fix some things in the first chapter, but the revelations in Deathly Hallows make other parts of my original plot make much more sense.
