I can't stand Mary Sues. For the love of all things holy, sacred, and whatever else you can think of, PLEASE recommend this test to anyone who might have a Mary Sue character.

September 27, 2010: Laptop crashed back in February, resulting in the entire loss of my story aside from what was already posted on here. So I'm basically working from scratch. Yee-haw. My creative writing class sparked my return to this site (that and being single again after... 3 years). So, as I give in to the deliciously insane pit of despair that is my imagination, I invite you all to come along for the ride :) just keep in mind I run experiments and have a crapton of homework. And work 32 hours a week. I don't sleep. Ever.

My weekly obsessions that either distract or inspire my writing:

Music: Regina Spektor and the new LP album (surprisingly, it's not crap!)

TV/Movie: It's Always Sunny and True Blood (mmm, Alexander Skarsgaard...). And Transformers.

Book: Deathly Hallows. Have to brush up on my facts so I can pick out what isn't canon during the movie :D

Official Bio:

I've been writing since I was 14, ever since a friend turned to me one day in Earth Science and said, "hey, have you ever checked out this site called FanFiction.net?" I have a bit of a death wish and want to do crazy things like base jumping in a wingsuit and skydiving. I love to travel, take pictures, and explore new areas, so thank god I've got a fairly eco-friendly and gas-efficient car. I come off as completely serious unless I'm in person, but in reality I'm... not.

I'm also one of "those" Boston sports fans. Beware.
