Hello! My name is HiThereSmiley, or Hi There, or Smiley, or Katie, or Kal, or Chaetey Amaryllis Jackson III, which ever you prefer.

Yes, my name is Chaetey Amaryllis Jackson III. NOT! Chaetey is just Katie spelled all weird. Amaryllis is my favorite flower. Percy Jackson used to be my favorite book character. I'd change it to 'di Angelo', 'Acosta', or 'Valdez', but now a lot of people know my fake name as 'Chaetey Amaryllis Jackson III'. Can't change it now. The 'III' is just for fun. :))

As much as I love books, I have to say I quite like anime as well. I have a deviantART account here: where I do lots of fanart for that, as well as PJO and other shtuffs. Check it out sometime if you want. My 'field', you could say, is, of course, anime/manga style.

Yeah, I have an interesting mind. I can find differences in the colors grey and gray, onyx and ebony, light teal and turquoise, and just the adjective bright and neon. But there are differences, you just have to be bored often enough to over think it.

My favorite books:
Sammy Keyes series- Wendelin Van Draanen
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series- Rick Riordan
The Dragon Keepers Chronicles-Donita K. Paul
Runaway- Wendelin Van Draanen
12 Again- Sue Corbett
Jacob Have I Loved- Katherine Patterson
A Long Way From Chicago- Richard Peck
A Year Down Yonder- Richard Peck
Everything on a Waffle- Polly Horvath
Gamer Girl- Mari Mancusi
The Heroes of Olympus series- Rick Riordan
To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee
Flipped- Wendelin Van Draanen
The Hound of the Baskervilles- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Hunger Games series- Suzanne Collins
and a variety of other random (good) books and novels.

Battle of the Books was one of the funnest (notaword) things I did in Jr. High School! If your school does it, I highly suggest you try it out. Haha! TLT was on the list when I was in 8th grade. I got like 4 1/2 converts. Yes, and a HALF. :D (Un)Fortunately, we got 2nd place both years!

[Update 190109] : Came back for the first time in 6.5 years just to clean up and delete some way too personal info I left just lying here in this corner of the internet that I never visit anyway, as well as delete a lot of the cringe and spam. (You always think you're SO QUIRKY when you're a nerd in middle school/high school, and then you grow up and cringe so hard.) Did keep a bit of the stuff I thought was still a little cute or funny.

This account will permanently inactive from now on, and if I do pick up writing again I will link whatever site I move to here.

Since I last updated on FFnet, I did create an Asian FanFic [AFF] account (for a few Kpop related stories), under the same name HiThereSmiley, but that account will also remain inactive for the time being.

Since I last updated here, I also made (and left) my Tumblr account, also under the same name, HiThereSmiley. My deviantART account linked above is also quite inactive, though that account is not on permanent hiatus like these others mentioned.

You can follow my Twitter, which is still the same name HiThereSmiley! This account will remain active, though the content may be wildly different than what is presented here on FFnet (because I DID join this site almost 9 years ago). Thank you for taking an interest in my old works. Though never quite so serious, nor well-planned, they were fun to write, and did give me moderate writing and story-telling practice to prepare for more "developed"/"sophisticated" work in high school and university, and hopefully again in the future, be it for fandom or just myself.
