Hi! My name is Alyssa, and I am a proud Potterholic! (that and a sixteen-year-old student attending High School.)

Factoids about me:

I am in love with Sirius and Harry, Fanfiction (which takes up more of my time than I'm willing to admit) and anything remotely Potter-ish. I am also a proud member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Eugh, that was a mouthful to type. Shrug. I love it anyway.

I appreciate all well written stories and recognise the time it takes to continually write chapters for them, so there is very little I won't read. Slash and stories with anything more than occassional swearing, however, aren't worth my time. No, I'm not homophobic but I have no desire to read about it.)

Hmmm, I'm 5'8 -5'9 with honey blond hair and turquois eyes. What else is there to say? I dance and play soccer, do well enough in school...

I AM CANADIAN
