Hey Fan-Fictioners!

My name's Maura, and currently I am in love with words.

I love music. Songs are my inspiration, and I almost always get my titles for pieces from them. I am simply not creative enough/too lazy to come up with them on my own. I love any type of music really, except for heavy metal.

Some of my favourite inspirational lyrics/ Songs I am obsessed with right now:

I believe in the underdog,
Who chases dreams and breaks down walls,
The shy kid who gets the prom queen,
Who’s never been the star of anything.
And those two lovers hitched at city hall,
They’ve got each other, so they’ve got it all,
Call me a dreamer, say I’m a little naive,
Oh, but I believe in the underdog.

~Underdog, The Lost Trailers

Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good"

~Ain't No Rest for the Wicked, Cage the Elephant

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

~Luck in the Sky With Diamonds: The Beatles

When you're tired of aiming your arrows,
Still you'll never hit the mark
And even if your aims are shadows
Still we're never gonna part

~Don't Let it Break Your Heart, Coldplay

I'll always be waiting for you,
So you know how much I need you,
But you never even see me, do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you?

~Shiver, Coldplay

Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me no

~Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Verve

Oh, justice will be served and the battle will rage:
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage.
An' you'll be sorry that you messed with the U.S. of A.
'Cos we'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way.

~Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue, Toby Keith

Well i'd like to think i'm the mess you'd wear with pride.

~I Go To the Barn Because I Like The , Band of Horses

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

~Iris, The Goo-Goo Dolls

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

~Lose Yourself, Eminem

Hehe, sorry, I went a little wild there.

Anyways, music isn't the only thing I like...well duh, or else I wouldn't be here. I like the world of fanfiction, because I like the fact that others share my belief that certain characters should get together! IT FRICKEN AWESOME! :)

For example, I ship:

NCIS: Tony/Ziva, Abby/McGee, Kate/Ari Jenny/Gibbs

The Mentalist: Jane/Lisbon, Rigsby/Van Pelt... Cho and that hooker...not so much

Pysch: Juliet/Shawn

Fringe: Peter/Olivia, and Lincoln/Liv and Alt-Linc/Alt-Liv, August/Christine (legitimately started crying at the end of that episode...)

White Collar: Neal/Alex, Peter/Olivia

In Plain Sight: Mary/Marshall

Covert Affairs: Auggie/Annie or A^2

Twilight: Jasper/Bella, Alice/Jasper... I don't know why really...

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Percy/Annabeth

Kane Chronicles: Carter/Zia

What can I say, I am an addict.

Hope you like my work! :)
