Hello, people.

My other name is person.

I love writing reviews! If you clicked on my profile because I just gave you a rambling long review (or a series of such horrors), don't panic. It happens to other people too. Yes, I have not written any stories yet, I'm way to scared to put anything on here. I have a few half started things floating around, but the quality of writing on here scares me. If you know where to look. I'm a little nonplussed on the descriptive 'notions' that appear to frequent discussion around eyes, however. Cerulean? Really?

I'm more of an artist than a writer, but I love doing both. It's just, when I do art I feel way less guilty about day dreaming. And when I write, I obsess about the tiniest details. I am currently trying to make up my own planet, just to contain one characters backstory. Details.

Has anyone one else cottoned on to the fact its probably not safe to give a bunch of people such as the people who frequent fanfiction sites the opportunity to write about themselves? For instance, I have been putting off updating my profile for months. Before, it consisted solely of the first two words you now see here. What do I actually have to write about, I thought. What can I use to fill up this empty space I see so many other people so very eloquently smushing words into? Who actually cares? Then I thought, might as well get on with it. One day I might actually pen something, and people might want to know a little bit more about me. Nah.

I am Australian, and very patriotic. Although I thought 'patriotic' was a word used only for Americans. If anyone knows anything about that, feel free to enlighten me.

The Fanfiction section which I mostly haunt is Merlin. I love many other fandoms, but Merlin has such good writing. Such good characters. And terrible plots, so everyone feels like they just have to rewrite every little detail. And, honestly, who can resist reading a little Merlin-being-far-too-awesome-for-mere-mortals-too-comprehend-fiction?

Oh, hang on, I was going to tell you my age. Well, I'm in the fourteen part of life now. Quite boring, though I have a tiger named Madeline to cheer me up and keep me going. (And before you call the RSPCA, or whatever they call it in your country, Madeline is a pastel drawing. And I'm quite sane. I don't usually name my pictures, but I have been working on it for quite a while. I got bored, and it looked French, okay?)

And I am the self-same person who just minutes before, thought, "Okay, now what do I do, there's this big blank space in fron of me and I feel compelled to write on it but why!?"

I found the following questions on someones profile. So, true to the spirit of FanFiction, I copied and pasted, in the hope you understand a little bit more about me.

5 Questions That Show Who I Am

1. Between knowledge and brute strength which is the better trait?

(I edit the wording of the question, and correct the spelling) Seeing as I am never going to have brute strength, and I love learning, and adore my English studies, I will have to go with knowledge. I did really want to go with brute strength, because I always endeavour to be a non-conformist, but knowlegde is always good. Besides, did I mention, NEVER GOING TO HAVE BRUTE STRENGTH. Knowledge? Maybe?

2. A true leader needs what qualities?

A true leader needs to be able to serve and something else...

Quick Thinking. :)

3. What do I believe believe in?

I believe in grammar. It exists. People should use it. :)

In all seriousness? I believe that Jesus Christ came to Earth as a baby, preached and healed people, died on the cross of Calvary, and is reigning in heaven, to return at any time.

4. If you could be any animal what would you be?

I wish I was a shapeshifter. I wish I could turn into an orca (killer whale) and swim off into the Southern Ocean and eat penguins.

5. What is your ideal scenery? Forest, city, beach or mountain.

The inside of my eyelids.

Ooh, look. o\/o Absolutely NO stories have appeared while I was writing this. Whatever happened?
