So, for a while, my profile was just a big blank page that honestly looked kind of depressing. So I'm going to fix that!

While I doubt many people are checking out my profile nowadays as I haven't updated in quite some time, I like pretending that people do. =D

So... hi. My name's almostgone71, but you can call me Rae if you like.

I got started on fanfiction about a year and a half ago and I've been hooked since. It's kinda sad when you think about how much time I waste on here... Alas...

Uhh... what else do people talk about in profiles? Hmm... Well, my favorite color is purple, and... I HATE bugs, and I love watching thunder storms in my pajamas, and I'm a bit of a loner but I love my friends, I love pretzels and I love chocolate, but I hate chocolate covered pretzels, my grandfather has a really weird addiction to ketchup (he puts it on everything), I'd rather sit at home with a good book and a warm blanket than go out partying, if the air gets the tiniest bit humid my hair turns into hairzilla, I have four of my teachers' cell phone numbers in my contacts cause I'm cool like that, I fight with my family often but I love them to death, I have an irrational fear of mascots, I love the smell of my dad's aftershave because it reminds me of home, and there's no feeling I love more than a warm comforting hug.

So there. That's me. =D

Quotes:

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves." ~Albert Einstein

"That's the wonderful thing with nerds: they're enthusiasts. Not having a life means you get to love things with a passion and nobody bothers you about it." ~John Burnside

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back." ~Unknown
