Ossu-!

It's been forever since I've visited this site.

I used to have the username Death-Angel-Hikari, but because I forgot the email I'd used AND the password, I decided to create a new account, just so I could post fanfics from time to time. I won't be updating very often, as it's also been a LONG time since I actually typed up anything.

I've since gotten back to one of my old fanfics, and currently have ideas for a one-shot, and another long fanfic involving (once more) my Beyblade OCs, who've changed since I first met them years - and I do mean years ago.

Age: Himitsu desu

Appearance: ...good question. I used to have hair that was some shade of blue-black, then dark indigo/purple; now it's got gold/copper streaks through it and looks kinda brown is certain light. I'm kinda short, a little tan, and definitely overweight (unfortunately).

Likes: Anime and manga (I'm more on shounen than shoujo, though); surfing the 'Net; writing; learning different languages (Japanese, Russian, Chinese); spending time with friends; music; singing.

Dislikes: To quote Sherbet Mayhem, "having the ability to write but nothing to write about"; haters (or at least, the hating); people who get so fixated in jealousy over someone that they practically dedicate their every waking moment to making that person's life miserable (unfortunately, I know someone like this); people who don't use their common sense and/or refuse to actually think.

Currently: working at a market research facility; re-working character designs from an old comics class project.

Favorites:

Colors: Black; dark red; deep purple; dark blue; gold (accent)

Anime: Bakuten Shoot Beyblade (the first and third seasons in particular); Metal Fight Beyblade; Fushigi Yuugi; Fruits Basket...too many others OTL

Books: the Harry Potter series; the Ninja; the Miko; Jian; Giri; If Tommorow Comes... the 'Hannibal Lecter' series by Thomas Harris, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova; novels by James Rollins, Steve Berry, and Daniel Silva.

Manga: Bakuten Shoot Beyblade; Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle; Basilisk; Fruits Basket; Fushigi Yuugi; Hoshi ga Utau; After-school Charisma; Tetragammaton Labyrinth; Pokemon Special; Metal Fight Beyblade

Singers/Bands/Artists (whatever!): Utada Hikaru (Hikki); Takehito Koyasu; Minagawa Junko; Horie Yui; KOKIA; Irino Miyu; BoA; FLOW; Orange Range; My Chemical Romance; Ellegarden; Janne Da Arc; RED; Skillet; Evanescence; Namie Amuro and a few other J-Pop artists. Even though it seems like I listen to only certain genres, it's these genres where the lyrics are somehow more genuine, deep.

The path you tread now

And the path you’ve left behind

Words and actions

All attempt to blind…

Rage and anger

Hurt and disbelief

All feed the flames

All try to bring relief…

Things done in anger

Words said out of spite

Obscure the truth

Hiding who is right…

What lies ahead

Distracts from what’s within

Denial of the truth

Seems the greater sin…

So you lie now

Among the ashes of your burden

Remember, still

That you can rise again…
