I'm probably not really interesting enough that I need a bio, but I guess I'll throw a few things about me up here.

I'm 26, female, I live in Wisconsin, and I work at a group home taking care of disabled people. My penname is a reference to the fact that I like coffee a lot. Probably too much.

I don't write a lot any more but every once in a while something strikes my fancy and if I like what I've written I post it.

I prefer to write character-driven stories, and I really like hurt/comfort and angst genre things. I do not write too much in the way of romance. I won't write slash unless the characters are actually gay, or it is a very believable leap. I will never write m-preg cuz I find it rediculous. I prefer to keep things in-cannon.

I'm not a review junky. I will never abandon something just because I don't get enough reviews or if it gets bad reviews, and I will never require a certain amount of reviews before I post more of a story. Personally it always irks me when I see a writer doing that. (Sidenote- If your writing is fueled by reviews and nothing else, you are writing for the wrong reasons!) But I do really appreciate getting feedback, so if you're reading something of mine, I would love it if you have time to let me know what you think. I can handle critisism, and actually enjoy it, so don't be afraid to let me know if you don't like something so that I can know what to do to make myself a better writer. That being said (and I hope this doesn't turn you off to reading anything I've written) I do not find myself to be a very good writer. Not saying I suck or anything, pretty much everything I have up right now I like to some degree, but most of what I write isn't what I would consider high quality. Sidenote: I have deleated several of my older stories so if you came here looking for them I apoligize, but they are gone 'cause I didn't like 'em.

And 'cause I really like quotes here are some of my favourites:

“We could not understand because we were too far gone, and could not remember because we were travelling in the night of the first ages, of those ages that are gone; leaving hardly a sigh—and no memories. We are accustomed to look upon the shackled form of the captured monster, but there—there you could look at a thing monstrous and free.” -Heart of Darkness

“The only people for me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” -On The Road

"We aimed for no more than to have dominion over ever creature that moved upon the earth. And so it came to pass that we stepped down there on a place we believed unformed, where only darkness moved on the face of the waters. Now you laugh, day and night while you gnaw on my bones, but what else could we have thought? Only that it began and ended with us. What do we know, even now? Ask the children. Look at what they grew up to be. We can speak only of the things we carried with us, and the things we took away." -The Poisonwood Bible

"If the logical world brings us war and disharmony and pain then live in an unusual way for a bit of a laugh." -Russell Brand

"There's something in us that is very attracted to madness. Anyone who looks off the edge of a tall building has felt at least a faint, morbid urge to jump." -The Ballet of the Flexible Bullet

"We humans are creatures who spend our lives trying to convince ourselves that our existance is not absurd." -Albert Camus
