I think it's time to update this. Not that I expect many people to read it.

I read manga and a lot of fantasy. My current obsession is BBC's Merlin. I love it! It was the inspiration for my return to posting things. We'll see how long that lasts. Probably quite a while since it had given me the desire to start making my own chainmaille and to find a faire to attend and to someday build my own medieval theme park type thing that's more of an all year round faire. I have big dreams, please no one shoot them down.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

1. "Sanity is So Over-rated"-title of a fanfic from several years ago, not mine.

2. " 'You did it. You killed the rogue! You're the new rogue!' He kissed me. I should have hit him...I will next time."- Beka from Beka Cooper:Terrier, by Tamora Perice (great book, read it).

3. " 'You're quite defensive,' he stated then asked, 'Why?'

'You followed me in secret to my home and threatened to bring it down on my HEAD! What more reason do I need to be Defensive?!' "-an Eragon fanfic I was working on and will never finish.

4. "Damn it Emily! The only way I'm going to be able to keep an eye on you is if I marry you. Is there some quite little corner where we can discuss that?"-Cyrus Reed from Mrs. Polifax on Safari by Dorthy Gilman.

5. " 'You can't go running off half-cocked!'

'But half cocked means the safety's on!' "-From my UCSO fanfic.

6. "Hey, ugly! We are the slayers of the unholy, the keepers of justice, the guardians of truth!"-Rath

"We cannot be defeated! We are the Dragon Knights, scourge of demonkind! And, uh...we're kinda lost."-Thatz, Dragon Kights, vol.15 by Mineko Okami.

7. "Rath...You're worried about Kuon Sheena, aren't you?"-Thatz

"...Why do you say that?"-Rath

"You keep looking over at her. And you went and had that chat yesterday."

"You're reading too much into things, Thatz."-Rune

"Well look at her. She always has that far off look. I wonder...what that means."-Rath

"Huh?"-Thatz

"Well, Fire used to always look up at the sky and sigh. He doesn't do that much anymore."

What? You remember?-Fire

Thatz puts his hand on Rath's forhead.

"...What?"-Rath

"Nothing."-Thatz-"You know, ever since you got your head chopped off, you've been acting kinda weird."

"...Well, DUH!"-Rath. Also from Dragon Knights, vol 14 this time.

8. "You okay?" -Rath

"Yeah, I'm just a bit anemic."-Rune

"I don't get it, Rune. You can chop up demons with the best of 'em, but a few corpses make you nervous?"

"Human corpses are different than demon ones!" DK, vol 14.

9. "I'm not suicidal! I just have no sense of self-preservation what-so-ever!"-This is the attitude of most of my characters.

10. "I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret."-L from the DeathNote anime.

11. "If you can dream it, you can do it." -Walt Disney

12. "There's not thrill in easy sailing

when the skies are clear and blue,

There's no joy in merely doing

things which anyone can do.

But there is some satisfaction

that is mighty sweet to take,

When you reach a destination

you thought you'd never make."
