I must apologize for the steep dropoff in posts, and the sheer number of stories that I have yet to finish...As has been pointed out to me by my favorite reviewer (and an excellent writer...you should check her out), emeraldoni, I have this...tendancy to NOT FINISH a story that I've begun.

UPDATE ON ME: Yay! I graduated! Now you can look forward to updates on my stories, since I've been writing like mad. Stories that are currently active:

1. Dog Days--COMPLETE, final epilogue chapter posted.

2. Loose Ends--New Chapter partially complete.

3. No One Knows I'm Famous--New chapter complete, posted.

4. The Dogs of War--New chapter mostly complete.

5. Heartbreaker--Overhauling last chapter.

6. Adorable--COMPLETE, final chapter posted!

Once these are complete, I will work on:

1. Dodging Enishi

2. Prodigal Uchiha

3. You Give Me A Headache

4. The One Possessed

5. Princess: A Parody

And finally, because it is my baby, I will get going again with Machi Yoko Naruto. So there you have my schedule. Please don't ask for updates. I'm working as fast as I can. Oh. And I have a job now, so there's more slow-down...

Are you a beta reader?

...do you like a challenge?

I have been looking for a beta.

Hmm. I've got one for some of my stuff. Looking for one for the following fics:

Prodigal Uchiha (someone has to make me finish)

You Give Me A Headache

Dodging Enishi

Princess, A Parody

Dog Days

Requirements:

--attention to detail

--Microsoft Word. I don't do WordPad, guys.

If you're interested, please post on my forum, antilogic fiction. Or, PM me!

General stuff:

I just found a job (yay for me). I graduated with my Masters Degree. I love movies, anime, reading, and so many other things that I couldn't really list them all at once. Like the usename says, I'm a girl, and logic really doesn't do much for me...

Often, people describe me as the silliest person they know. I disagree. I'm goofy, not silly.

What do I look like? Hmm. Usually, I would play the teasing woman and say, "wouldn't you like to know?", but at the moment, I guess I should be pretty honest about the situation. I'm around 5'5.5" tall (the half counts to us short people, ok!). Hair is brown, natural blonde streaks around the face area. Eyes are that odd color known as hazel--not green, not brown. Got glasses, have since I was 11, and I only wear contacts for costuming. I guess that's about it, since I'm definitely not telling you guys my weight (it's average for my height). Oh, I guess black, blue and dark red are my favorite colors to wear, though brown is always safe if I'm going somewhere that I don't know what's going to happen. It's easier to fade into the background and make a quick exit that way. Tee-hee.

Personality:

Perfectionist

Motivated, just about the wrong things

Cynical...yet a hopeless Romantic

At times, completely insane

Lately I've discovered the Dropkick Murphys...they're really fun. You should ALL be illegal and download them!

Why I'm doing this: because I get an idea in my head. Until I get it out, it drives me nuts. :P I guess you could say I'm a little like the Mariner. This pretty much sums it up:

Since then, at an uncertain hour,
That agony returns :
And till my ghastly tale is told,
This heart within me burns.

I pass, like night, from land to land ;
I have strange power of speech ;
That moment that his face I see,
I know the man that must hear me :
To him my tale I teach.

--from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
