For those of you who don't know me, I'm still pretty new to this site. I have straight brown hair and green. I stand nearly 5 feet and 1 stinkin' inch. I'm the oldest of 10 kids. (whoop-de-doo) I play the piano and sing (though my sister wishes I wouldn't). I love to read and listen to music. I like to write, though you'll notice that I usually stick to the dialog and feelings of the characters. (Perhaps I should be a playwright instead.) hmmm...
Favorite Movies: The Princess Bride (you can't be it!), LotR, X-Men (1 and 2), The Matrix (just the first), The Importance of Being Ernest, and more that I'll add as I think of them. ;)
Favorite Books: LotR, Harry Potter, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Princess Bride, The Chronicles of Narnia, Ella Enchanted, The Green Rider, The Shakespeare Stealer, The Prydain Chronicles, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, etc., etc., etc.
Favorite Published authors: J.R.R. Tolkien, Lloyd Alexander, Gail Levine Carson, J.K. Rowling, and others I'll add as I think of them :)
Favorite TV series: Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Gundam Wing, Trigun, and other random animé shows that my dear friend Amy is getting me hooked on.
Major shameless crushes on fictional characters or celebrities I'll never meet: Trowa and Zechs (GW), Vash the Stampede (Trigun), Sir Percy (The Scarlet Pimpernel), Aragorn (LotR), Westley (The Princess Bride), Lex (Smallville), Johnny Depp (do NOT tell me he's 40!), Keanu Reeves (he has his moments), Gambit (when on earth is he gonna be in the X-Men movies???), Bullseye (Daredevil--how can you not like him? HE'S IRISH!) ;)

Note to those who don't understand my pen name: Artemis was the Greek goddess of the night (Apollo's twin sister). She's also one of the three virgin goddesses and the protector of all "wild things". ;) She's a forest huntress and reminds me a great deal of a Mirkwood elf. She didn't like guys very much and often killed them. (Think "Cell Block Tango.") ;)
