Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape."

PERSONAL PROFILE

OTHER FACTS

Favorite Anime/Manga: -Bleach - Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this one is my favorite.
- One Piece - Probably the most childish out of all the shows I've ever liked, yet I love it. (It's the pirates! They did this to me!)
- RE Play - Vampires and rock bands. Enough said.
- Fullmetal Alchemist - I really only started watching it because of the military theme, but found that the other aspects were just as good.

Favorite Movies:-The Bourne Trilogy - The best movies I have ever seen. They've got a lot of non-stop action that really helps when you're writing fight sequences.
- Bleach: Memories of Nobody - Who saw that one coming? Even though it was kind of cliche, it still ended up being one of my favorites.
- The Grudge - I can't be the only one dumb enough to watch a movie over and over again that traumatized me, am I?

Favorite Bands/Artists: - Yellowcard - Their songs are great muses when it comes to writing fics.
- Skillet - Lots of material for fics, same as Yellowcard.
- Miyavi - An awesome J-Rock guitarist. Great music to listen to in the car.
- Home Made Kazoku - I normally don't listen to J-Pop, but I've decided to make an exception. Good travel music.
- Simple Plan - They do more than punk rock, to people with broad tastes will enjoy them.

Favorite Pairings: - Ichigo/Rukia (Bleach) - My favorite pairing ever. You can take it in any direction and still make a great fic out of it.
- Renji/Tatsuki (Bleach) - Eh, it's a whole lot like Ichigo and Rukia, so I can easily call it a favorite.
- Grimmjow/Inoue (Bleach) - Now how many people are wondering what kind of meds I happen to be taking as I type this? Nope, no meds, just the best crack pairing in the world. It's weird enough to appease me (as long as Orihime stays away from Ichigo).

Favorite Pairings (Yaoi): - Ichigo/Hollow Ichigo (Bleach) - Makes you think of the term "mind-rape" in a whole new light, huh?
- Ichigo/Grimmjow (Bleach) - If you don't know about them, think about the song "Pretty Handsome Awkward" by The Used. Yeah, scary.
- Ichigo/Renji (Bleach) - Easiest to write because it can be fluffy and dark and funny all at the same time.

FanFiction Genre(s)/Style of Choice: Romance/ Drama, Romance/Action, Romance/Humor, Romance/Tragedy; anything that's an AU.

FOR MY SUPER-SPECIAL BETA!

A special shout-out to my amazing beta reader, PerfumedLilys, who slaves away over a hot computer to turn my crap into work acceptable for public viewing! I love her to death! Be sure to drop by her page and say hello!

STOP HOMOPHOBIA

Love is love, folks. It doesn't care about race, religion, competency, and especially not gender. Even as a heterosexual Catholic I find absolutely nothing wrong with the practice of homosexuality. And homophobia isn't just disliking the notion of two men or two women kissing. It's also the use of terms like "That's so gay." It's rediculous and vulgar and it needs to stop. I am a heterosexual who actively and passionately supports gay rights, and I am proud of it. If you feel the same way, no matter your sexual orentation or religion, post a similar message on your profile to spread the advocation of homosexual rights.

Author's Note: I'm really pumped about putting this one up. This is the first fanfiction of mine that will be a modern-day AU, which should make it relatively easy for me to write. Though in the first chapter alone I had to do a ton of research on the layout of Tokyo, which is the initial setting of the story, so the chapters will take quite a while to update. But I will warn potential readers that if they are squeamish or offended by gory violence, strong language, and mild sexual content, then this probably won't be the fic for them.
