Hey there, name's Eileen. I'm an aspiring author and an elementary ed. major. I've pretty much been writing since the third grade and need to keep doing so to keep myself sane. I'm working on some original novels but I very much enjoy writing fanfiction- sometimes it's just more fun to snag someone else's characters and see what happens.

On from the basics, here's some randomness:

- My pen name, Eileen, is based off my first OC, whom I used in a Harry Potter roleplay.

- I have a co-author on several fanfictions, who requests that I refer to her as Sibella - her first Harry Potter OC. Sibella is also my co-author on two original novels.

- I'm a Christian, but not the type that will shove it down your throat. I enjoy discussion and will respect others' beliefs even if I don't agree with them, and I expect to be treated the same way.

- I have several weird obsessions, two of the top 5 being fantasy novels/movies and my birds/owls. I have 3 adorable parakeets, two of which are still babies, and countless owl objects--shirts, stuffed animals, knickknacks, etc.

- Other things I like include the following: hanging out with friends/family, funny family movies, most music (country, Celtic, and rock), Italian food, chocolate, my evil cat, shiny objects, snowglobes, cooking, Fuzzy posters, coloring books, Henry Weinhard's orange cream sodas, and men who know when to be serious and when to be funny and adjust accordingly

- My favorite movies and TV shows are: The Chronicles of Narnia, Meet the Robinsons, Secondhand Lions, Harry Potter, High School Musical, Law & Order, and Psych. I've recently rediscovered Codename: Kids Next Door and started watching Phineas and Ferb. (I want a Perry the Platypus stuffed animal!) Yeah, for the most part I love watching kid stuff...lucky my major involves hanging out with a lot of kids :)

- Things I detest and would love to build some Inator to destroy include the following: spiders, stalkers, horror/thriller/suspense flicks, teenage drama (or, not being a teen anymore, girl drama in general), snakes, spicy food, guacamole, rap music, Twilight, stupid politicians (which is just about all of them), and strenuous physical activity.

- My friends say I'm the most down-to-earth of the group, but I don't know what they're talking about. Most of the time I just feel like a little girl trapped in an adult's body.

- Oh, yeah. And Abercrombie & Fitch doesn't own me. Haha. That should sum it up.

Current Fanfictions in Progress:

Thorns of Winter - Part 1 of 2 of a Narnia story written in partnership with Sibella. I know I said I'd post the 7 chapters of it weekly, but I couldn't resist. The 8th chapter is currently undergoing construction.

Leave Them Kids Alone - a Codename: Kids Next Door story I'm writing solo.

I am also working with Sibella on Star Wars and Dragons in Our Midst fanfictions.

REMEMBER WHEN

getting HIGH meant swinging at a playground?
the worst thing you could get from a boy was COOTIES?
'm 0 m' was your hero?
and 'D a D' was the boy you were gonna marry?
when your W0RST ENEMIES were your siblings?
and RACE ISSUES were about who ran fastest?
when - WAR- was a card game?
and life was simple and care free?
remember when all you wanted to do?
WAS GROW UP?

Put This In Your Profile If You're Still 5 Inside...No Matter How Old You Are Now

YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN AUTHOR IF...

You talk to yourself a lot.

You talk to yourself about talking to yourself.

When you talk to yourself you often talk to yourself like you're talking to someone else.

After uttering a profound peice of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand with awe and say, "Wow, this stuff is great for sugar highs..."

You live off of sugar and caffine

People think you're insane.

You'll check your e-mail every day of the week one week, and then dissappear off the face of the earth the next.

You're e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random.

When replying to an e-mail, you'll never actually address the point of it.

No matter where you are in a room you never have to get up to find a pen/pencil and paper.

The letters on your keyboard are wearing off.

Your friends and family think that you have carpal tunnel syndrome.

People think you have A.D.D.

You think it'd be cool to have A.D.D.

You constantly start talking in third person, present or past tense.

You start thinking about making lists like this and start laughing for no "apparent" reason

Your friends stopped looking at you funny for no apparent reason a loooooong time ago.

And FINALLY, the one way to tell if you're a good writer: You failed English 101.

Copy that into you're profile if you fit one or more of the descriptions.
