Anyway, here's a list of my favorite things: Harry Potter, Photography, Writing, Reading, Tree Swing, the sound of a typing, ideas, daydreaming, friends, riding my bike, snowboarding, rollerblading, climbing trees, taking pictures, making pictures, marauders, stories, jell-o, The Raven, thunderstorms, late night random conversations with friends, poetry, water, warm grass, summer, fall, traveling, sun-light, prints XD, peacocks, Evanescence, words, and barefeet.

And I really love the Hunger Games; Like I want to be Annie so I can have Finnick O'dair in my bed every night.

A few random facts:

House: Everyone says that I'm a Gryffindor but I firmly believe that I am a Slytherin who secretely aspires to be Hufflepuff and the only reason I was sorted into Slytherin was to lighten them up and bring a little bit of sunshine to their dungeon. Lmao, that is so not me but that is the story behind the name XD

Wand: Oak, Peacock feather and Unicorn tail, swishy, and good for transfiguration. Muahaha. Suck it XD

Heritage: Positively Pureblood

Least favorite: Slash, Harry/Hermione, Dramione (With the exception of a few!), and most things not canon

Favorite color: Purple

Favorite Spell: Hmm, Lumos, I mean what's better than light?

Favorite AVPM Quotes: "What the hell is a Hufflepuff?" and, and, and in case you haven't seen the musical just imagine Ron chomping down on a giant chocolate bar the day after the Yule Ball and his falling out with his future wife" It's Hermione...It's just like...I can't get her out of my head...and everytime I look at her, I get these pains in my chest and I just know it's her fault...-" Eyes narrow, "That bitch!"

Favorite Harry Potter Book: Prisoner of Azkaban

Favorite Characters from the Book: Bellatrix, Voldemort, Cedric Diggory, DRACO, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Ron, and the Twins. XD

Least Favorites: Dolores Umbridge and Rita Skeeter, and Pansy Parkinson because none of them are humorous or ridiculous they're just stupid.

Favorite Teacher: Definately Mcgonagall or Snape. Not Lupin because if he was my teacher and I was madly in love with him there would be some issues...

Animagus Form: Probably a peacock. I have no idea why; simply because.

Patronus: Deer

What do you want for Christmas?: A nice pair of wool socks.

Favorite HP movie: The Seventh. It will have everything. Young marauders, old marauders, war, battles, love, friendship, wilderness, wedding, sadness, and joy. I'm very much excited.

Quidditch Position: Chaser

Trip to Hogsmeade or Forbidden Forest: Forbidden Forest, obviously, because it's forbidden!

Pranking or Lounging in the Common Room: Lounging in the common room while planning pranks.

Prefect or Troublemaker: I'd be like Remus. I'd be both.

Favorite Room: The room of Requirement

The saddest death in HP books: Hedwig and Fred. '= Saddest ever.

General Opinion of Werewolves: Let them be. They're people too and they deserve to be treated as such even if they do become monsters a few times a year. They can't help it, it's just a part of their personality.

UPDATES:

March 6th: Three cheers for amazing betas and updating!!! Enjoy this update because I have a lot coming up in the next month and very little time to write between midterms and preparation for the Variety Show (which I'm praying they let us do 'Harry Freaking Potter' from AVPM 2 because it'd be wonderful.) Anyway, enjoy the (hopefully) warming weather for those of you who are just getting out of trials of winter :D

February 16th: I want to say thank you all for helping me reach 10,000 views and 130 reviews, you never fail to make me smile :) And I hope you all enjoyed that last chapter and I can assure you that I'm hard at work on the next. (But tech week for the spring musical is coming up so we'll see what happens!) Anyway, I just want to say thank you, I love you all, and I hope you have a good week. And it's my brother's birthday tomorrow but that's irrelevant.

February 5th: Alright, it's been awhile and I apologize. But I have actually been keeping up with writing, I just haven't been updating. However, the next chapter for Stolen Promises will be up before Valentine's day, after all; it's part 2 to the Valentine special :D I think I also forgot to mention that I had exams. *shrug* What can you do? I'm actually going off to write, right now :D

January 3rd: Why is it that when you have everything planned everything decides to go completely against your intentions? I didn't have as much chance or inspiration to write as I'd hoped, but now that school is starting up again I need something to do during my classes ;D. I hope you all had a great new year and I wish you the best for 2011.

December 24th: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone :) I hope you stay safe, have fun, and read good fanfiction ;D Over break I have plans of writing a lot so I can get ahead of the game. And hopefully, you'll have a new chapter next week :)

December 9th: Stolen Promises is updated. HELL YES. So I hope everyone reviews because it will make my day a lot better. And it will give me incentive to update a little faster (because I am actually writing more now that it's writing season ;D)

November 28: I'M UPDATING AGAIN SOON. YEAHHH. Anyone want to Beta for me? No, alright I'll just continue doing it myself. And I'm siriusly going to start making an effort to review all of those stories I started reading. I promise, because I hate that people aren't reviewing L/J much anymore :(

If you have any questions, PM me! I'll gladly answer them. I'm also suffering from writer's block with several characters, so if any one has any suggestions at all for anything submit them by PM and I'll credit you in my AN if I use them! (Automatically 20 points to the house of your choice if you submit ;D)

My Stories:

Stolen Promises-

Incredible banner that the wonderful Kayla made!

Banner I made because I'm learning =D

(Stolen Promises) is my first Maurader Fic (I would say L/J but it's not just about them; it's about everything leading up to.) "We follow the marauders and friends through their tragic story with it's twists and turns as Voldemort comes to power. We see the promises they've made each other, stolen, by those who believe they can tear them apart." It starts in their fourth year and I plan on continuing it at least until their seventh year because we all know what happens in the end (But that doesn't mean it isn't fun to write about...haha). Alright so moving on; Stolen Promises includes the Mauraders consisting of the flirtatious and gorgeous Sirius Orion Black; Prongs, more commonly referred to as James Potter; Remus John Lupin who is smart, handsome, polite, sarcastic and oh yeah...he's a werewolf; And last but certainly not least, the underestimated and fragile spirit of Pete Pettigrew. Eventually destined to join the iconic Marauders is the brilliant, moody, and sometimes arrogant Lily Evans; Shy, quiet and sincere Alice Prewett; and the loud, crude, and random personality belonging to none other that Gemmaline Grae. Minor characters include: The drastic Taylor Holland and mature Adora Grae, Lily Evans younger brother Dudley (Bet you didn't know that one!), Severus Snape, Regulus Black, The Black Sisters, Oliverus and Edgar Grae, Frank Longbottom, and anybody else that manages to squeeze into the plotline. =D

Oh did I mention that I'm throwing in a cult? That's right...a cult. Muahaha.

And because I can, here's a preview of my story and a letter from the righteous hands of Albus Dumbledore. (He can probably give a better summary than I can.)

Our story begins in the summer while several of our major characters are shopping in Diagon Alley in preparation for the start of their fourth year. The reason I've selected this year as the beginning of their fated journey is because this year was the year that their lives would irreversibly change. The years before have simply been a prologue.

Now we come to a piece of background information that you must be made aware of and keep in mind. At this time there was a wizard who went by the name of Tom Riddle and there was also a cult (if that is what one should call it) for those who strongly believe in the purity of blood. At this moment the two were joining forces each driven together by their own longings; Tom wanted power and the cult wanted a leader.

-A. Dumbledore

So there you have it; a summary from the man, himself. Now go; Be free; and enjoy the story!

Character Portraits XDD:

I had nothing better to do on Saturday so of course I opened up Gimp and started making detailed portraits for my characters XD And if you want to know what actors I used originally or if you want to use my photos please PM me. Oh and I recreated some of the shots but most of the credit goes to the original photographers because they're awesome for taking them in the first place =D (Sorry I'm paranoid about photography rights because I hate it when people steal my shots =P)

Anyway, yes, I'm going to list every single one of the 'main-ish' characters because I can, and there are a few who I don't have a portrait for yet but some suggestions would be lovely XD

Just click on their names to see the photo =

James Potter- (He is so freaking attractive and I'm sorry the glasses suck but I made them myself =P)

Sirius Black- (I have three other pictures just because he is sexy as hell. Yes I needed to say that.)

Remus Lupin- (I put a little extra care into my marauders. And Remus is mine. I call him forever. So remember that when you're looking at this XD.)

Peter Pettigrew- ( Suggestions? )

Lily Evans- (Two pictures because I couldn't decide which I like better!)

Alice Prewett- (I might fix her up a little bit in the near future...)

Gemmaline Grae- (Couldn't decide again =P And it's nearly impossible to get her eye color right!)

Adora Grae- (Notice the sisterly resemblence XD And they have the same pain in the ass eyes!)

Taylor Holland- (Isn't she cute? lol)

Frank Longbottom- ( Suggestions? )

Severus Snape- ( Suggestions? )

Cosette Prynne- ( Suggestions? )

And then I have a few more characters which you do not know yet because they haven't been introduced but trust me, you'll meet them soon =D

PM me with your thoughts XD

We Rise To Fall Again-

(We Rise to Fall Again) Is about Severus Snape and his seventh year in Hogwarts. I always thought that Snape was treated unfairly until the very end of the last book so I'm here telling his whole story. There are quite a few new characters (As well as old ones) You'll encounter drama, humor, quidditch, love, and the best part of all is you get to see what really happened to the characters that made them who they are today. Oh yeah, and it should be obvious that this story is more dramatic than uplifting considering it's all about Snape and we all know how much he loves life (Sarcasm.) You should check out my friend Cassie's (SecretlyaGryffindor) story, Who We Are, because we're both writing our stories together and hers is

We Rise To Fall Again- Despite what it may say, this story is about much more than just Severus Snape, it's about everything that really happened, the people he met and exactly what he endured. But aside from that I introduce two OC's, Alex Diggory (Amos' cousin) and Landon Carlson. Alex Diggory is your typical, overly-conceited seventh year who lives for victory and if there is one thing you can count on with Alex, it's that no matter what befalls him, humor will always follow. Landon Carlson, on the other hand, is almost the exact opposite. He is a softspoken individual who can find good in almost anyone, and he always seeks to do the right thing and find justice in a world that has everything but.

You can't understand everything about a story if you only glance at the first chapter, all I ask is that you give a chance and dig a little deeper before you give up. =

How to Tell if You're a Writer

-If you talk to yourself.
-If you talk to yourself about talking to yourself (i.e. ‘I wonder why I talk to myself so much?’)
-If, when you talk to yourself, you sometimes speak as if talking to another person (i.e. ‘Okay, so have you ever noticed that the word ‘deliver’ could mean removing someone’s liver?’)
-If, after uttering a profound piece of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand in awe and say, ‘Wow, this is good stuff for sugar highs!’
-If you live off of sugar and caffeine.
-If people start to notice that you tend to check your e-mail every day for a week, then suddenly disappear off the face of the planet.
-If your e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random.
-If, when replying to someone else’s e-mail, you are sometimes so random that you fail to address the original message altogether.
-If you tend to collect the Bic Stics people leave lying around, kind of like picking pennies off the ground.
-If, no matter where you are in your room, you never have to so much as get up to reach a pen/pencil and paper.
-If the letters are starting to wear off on the keys of your keyboard.
-If people think you might have A.D.D.
-If you think it’d be cool to have A.D.D.
-If you start constantly talking in third person, past tense.
-If you think about making lists like this, and start giggling for no ‘apparent’ reason.
-If your friends don’t even bother to look funny at you anymore when you start giggling for no apparent reason.
-And finally, the number one way to tell if you’re a good writer: If you worship English 101.
